Hi Our premises were targeted by rioters during the summer in Birmingham, we want to increase our security with some hefty cctv equipment but we are trying to save costs. I found this system because I like the look of the PTZ camera as a good deterrent can anyone tell me if for the price that it is a good system. Looking at it briefly it has 28 X optical zoom and 700 TVL for the normal bullet cams. For the price it seems pretty reasonable as you get a controller also, other similar systems run well over £1000. Thanks http://www.tradexguru.com/cctv-security/full-cctv-systems/cctv-systems/pro-1000gb-1tb-4-channel-outdoor-armoured-cctv-camera-dvr-ip-set-internet-remote-protocol-viewing-271.html

Well they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. In the present economy you have to save money, and just because numb-nuts we didnt take your offer up theres no need to feel so angry about it. The system has been great for us so far, so I recommend it, you guys are crazy if you think the work you do is worth £4k for a job. CCTV is not nearly as hard as installers love to make it out to be. Just like builders and plumbers.....

If anyone is still interested, we recieved the system this morning, and we can say we are impressed. The PTZ camera is actually very powerfull with 28X optical zoom, we are wiring it up now in our warehouse. The DVR is good actually has good recording and 1tb hd installed and 8 channels so we are thinking of getting more cams. The bullet cams have excellent nightvision and are clear.

Do you know where I can get it for that price?

Hi Guys We got 2 indpendent Installers in to have a look, and I was a bit shocked by what they said and tried to charge me. One quoted £5k inc all the fitting for equipment that looked it came from maplin (electronics store in the UK). The other was slightly cheaper £4.7K. Im sorry the figures these guys quoted are just unrealistic for what they proposed to install, One ptz cam 7 bullet cams A Dvr + controller I checked their specs and they were not worth the money, I understand charging money to install it (a days work maybe) but their stock is worth £1k tops, if im being generous, 3K for a days labour? No chance. We are going to go ahead and order this system, I spoke to the internet seller, he said if your not happy you can return for a refund just we pay for the shipping back (£15 max?) I will give you guys a review and take some photos and video quaility, see what you guys think.

Yes I know that PTZ cams itself can cost over £1000s. We can only afford approx £800-£900 due to budget costs etc... So if the specs were reasonable for the cost then we could consider it. We only have a cheap CCTV system installed by the previous owners which currently does diddly squat! So anything is step up.

Hi Im buying my first system, but im short on space in my shop, I was thinking of this http://www.tradexguru.com/cctv-security/full-cctv-systems-for-home-office-business/cctv-dvr-systems/intergrated-4-channel-digital-video-recorder-15-lcd-tft-monitor.html Is it better to buy seperate DVR and monitor? I just need motion detect (i think it has it) and internet viewing. Im not sure so any help would be appreciated Thanks
