Ok. Got the following info. Make & Model: Wizard ON-7208 H.264 Digital Video Recorder, 8 channel, network capable. Understand it's from some Taiwan manufacturer. Approx USD$1870 for 06 Cameras, 8 ch DVR, installation & network configuration. Image of DVR in next post.

Hi guys, any advise? Thks!

No monthly charge. The 8 channel network capable dvr, 6 dome cam, 520 tv lines with infra red (able to see in low lux), installation & configuration of network and iPhone viewing, they quoted me SGD $2300. Is this a fair amt? Any reason why u feel this 3rd party system is no good?

Hi guys, finally got some ans. Below is my layman understanding of CCTV network setup; The dvr uses PPPoE, DDNS for online access. First, an account is created with a website where u can add host services that can be directed to ur home router ip address. At the dvr, it is configured to recognise website. After all the setup, to access dvr via online. Go to host website, login with password to ur acct, access dvr. What do u guys thing of the security of such online setups? Acceptable?

Noted fm your inputs. Will find out more on specs of dvr and come back to you guys. Thks!

Hi Dima, Thks for your response. The dvr I have in mind seems to be a black box with video inputs. Not windows based. Was told by the cctv provider, that I will be provided with a certain website, which will serve to access my home router. At the website, key in dvr password to access CCTV footage. Is this the normal online access for "black box" dvr? Does this mean the website will have access to my dvr password (even though it appears as ***)? How would you recommend to be more secure with online access? Thks in advance!

Thks for advise. I'm pretty low tech. No existing wires. Will take note to ask for cables to include audio. Back to my query on security. How secure is data with CCTV with online access? How to secure it? Thks!

Thks! Er... Bro, can speak in English? Me no understand what rg59, Cat 5 is...

Thks for responses. Gonna buy CCTV setup, have not firm up which brand and model. Have no idea whether dvr is with Active x, java or ssl. My intention is to link cams in house with hardwire to 8 channel dvr. 2 dome cam, others hidden cam (motion sensor exterior type, Aesthetic reasons). Dvr link to Internet for remote access outside house (eg. View from office). pls advise ideal setup, make & model of devices, how to secure so that CCTV footage online. Thks!
