They don't sell direct to endusers. they do sell direct. payasyougo. were are you in the uk you will have a local supplier. I'm in Edinburgh. David

To be honest i never noticed they were not in the UK. I would have come time to pay them as i would check that out. I've been looking through that many sites to be honest. Thanks to TomCCTV i have found this site that sells Avermedia products at manageable prices. I will contact Avermedia to see if they deal direct. www.cameras-cctv.com

Hi Brandon, Thanks for your reply. You could give me your opinion on the camera i posted in the link if possible please. I appreciate you cannot speak for the company and have not seen the camera in action, but does it appear to tick all the right boxes for me? Personally, i think it does. David

Thanks for the replies so far guys. SDM Group: I currently work in an office with a part time business related to cars. I've qualifications in auto engineering and previous job experience supplying and installing high end car audio. I've always been a technical person and while you may be correct saying get Pro install it all, i simply do not want to spend three times my current budget for the privilege of the system being possibly that little bit better. The quotes I've had here have been crazy. Plus, as with most companies in my area and speaking from past experience, i simply do not trust other people to do the jobs they say they can do. I've seen CCTV installations done by Pros with visible wiring and very poor cable management. Attention to detail should be a priority but that's something a lot of fitters in the UK lack nowadays. I'm not saying i want a system that's really advanced, just something to capture what's gone down outside my house. Scruit: As above, I'm looking for the cameras to record any events outside my house as far as the cars in the 4 car parking bay. Not looking for much i don't think but people please correct me. This is why I'm on here, for open and honest discussion related to the posted topic. bpzle: Thanks. I would say i would fall into Cat A & D. No matter what i do i can always say i could go back and do it better. Something i can and usually do. Not really fazed by taking this on as i've seen DIY installations by some old friends that have been done to my standard certainly. Hidden cables on interior and exterior and good picture quality day and night all within a suitable budget. I'm not looking for much more than that to be honest. I can understand some people do not like to give out information for nothing but if anyone wants to reply to this then feel free. It is what the sites created for after all is it not? I've been recommended this camera to use in my application - http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/540TVL-Waterproof-Sony-CCD-Color-Metal-Dome-Camera-IR-Led-4-9mm-Lens.html Does anyone have any good or bad comments about the suitability of it? Thanks again, David

Hi, New to the site and looking for some help and advice if possible please. My car was recently damaged outside my house so the reason for me looking into a home CCTV kit. I occasionally import cars as a small business so they sit in my front driveway while they wait to be worked on. This is another reason for me looking at a CCTV system. I stay in a terraced house in the centre of 3. I'm number 13, with number 15 having a reasonable sized wall in the back and a large hedge at the front. My house along with number 11 share access to the rear of the houses. There is a small hedge with separates the front garden from number 11 to my monoblock drive. This drive fits two cars side by side. There are spaces for 4 cars to be parked out the front of the houses, where my car was damaged. I've drawn a terrible plan in MS Paint to give you a rough idea of what I'm working with here - Plan was to have 2 cameras at the front, one facing down the street, the other up, both crossing over and both capturing the front drive and car parking bay. The rear camera will cover the rear entry to the back of the house. I have roughly £400-£500 to spend on a system that I would like to have the following requirements. - Above average day and night image quality - Remote access with Blackberry & iPhone I've been on the web most of the night looking through various sites and the technical information to take in on the cameras alone is hurting my brain. Any help and advice is appreciated along with good and bad criticism. Thanks, David

Hi, New to the site. Been having a look about since I'm interested in planning and installing a home CCTV system. Hopefully with the help from some people on here. David
