I woke up at 11pm Friday night, rock and roll I know an early night, we have small kids so you get your sleep while you can!
Anyway to see a group of kids kicking in the back light of my car giving the wing mirror a tug and then going up and over the roof of the neighbours cars they were moving at a fast walking pace so it was like watching a wirlwind of destruction. Typical Police say very sorry not much they can do.
This is the 4th time and everytime I have said I am going to put a CCTV camerea up so at least we have something recorded.
So I was just about to go to Cost Co and but a 4 camera CCTV system for £300 plus VAT when I found out that my Synology Home server has a surveilance facility that will record from a IP camera, so looking on the internet its a minefield I need a camera that will work well at night with arange of about 10m to where the car is parked under a street lamp in the street over night and then want the image to be as clear as posssible to be of some use to the police otherwise there isnt alot of point other than for me to watch my own car be vadalised over and over again.
I dont have a massive budget but was going to spend about £300 on a system so as I just need the IP camera I guess my budget is upto £300. It would be nice to have 3 cameras for that so I can protect the garage and garden etc..
Just wondered whether any of the members have installed cameras and what their experiences have been and if any makes of IP cameras are sensible prices when compared to quality.
Thanks
