Hi,
We’re currently undergoing a house renovation and had a break in last week, all the newly fitted copper pipes were taken along with the wiring. It's put us back weeks, cost thousands and been really emotionally draining.
We feel like sitting ducks now and have decided to add cctv as part of the renovation, not been a fan of camera’s on houses before though.
I have wired in 4 cat6 cables to 5 tv points in the house and 1 to a study all terminating to node0. After scanning the forum I have decided to fit cat6 cable for the cctv which gives me the option of ip and regular cameras with baluns. I was thinking of connecting 4 cameras to a pc which ultimately connects to a nas drive. I want to be able to access footage on any of the tv’s (live and recorded) and have ability to record only on motion, don’t need round the clock.
Do my requirements sound realistic?
Should I terminate the 4 cameras at node0 or in the study where the pc will be? If node0 I guess I’ll need 4 further cat6 cables going to study?
I’m happy to go down the traditional route of regular cameras / dvr setup if its the better option, i also have 2 coax cables going to all tv points for tv/fm/dab and 2 for sky + which could be utilised I guess.
Any recommendations of cameras or cctv packs appreciated. Thinking of going for dome camera's as they're a little more subtle, any disadvantages of these?
Thank you in advance.
