Hi, Thanks for the reply. Would you recommend any brands for the DVR? I did read a few posts about problems with the Swann I specified but didn't know if they might be teething troubles of a new box that was just crying out for a new firmware.
As for what they are viewing, basically they'll be mounted on the corner of the house under the eves pointing downward to the front garden/door and same at the back so not far off straight down really.
I'm not really after any bells and whistles at the moment hence the entry level desire and I'd like to keep the budget to follow suit. Looking to try and keep it at £300 to £400 just now but the less the better really. Don't get me wrong though, if the really cheap ones are poor then I'll pay the extra to get something worth having.
