simonlap 0 Posted February 17, 2011 Our miniature railway is situated in a country park, we are experiencing vandalism at our farthest away station and I need to put a CCTV system in. Most of the problems are at night. I have seen on a famous auction site a 1TB 4 channel HDD recorder (1Tb HDD 4 Channel H264 Digital Video Recorder 4 CCTV ) We have a heated Location cabinet, very large, very secure with mains power. We now have a steel 12 metre pole with access hatch. Can I just put this together with 2 Day night cams, PSUs and forget it till we need to look at images on a seperate laptop which won't be kept in the cabinet? I have fitted complete systems in the past but everyting was designed and delivered to customer spec so I didnt have to think about the different fittings and cables. Thanks in anticipation of an answer. Si, Midlands, UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si, Midlands, UK Hi i would stay away from the auction sites. and also maplins if you want to use the footage in court in the uk. a good little unit is the avermedia EB3004 net http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=252 you can set the whole thing up with your laptop. for cameras i would look at the CNB range. with good mounting brackets.

simonlap 0 Posted February 17, 2011 thanks for quick reply. The DVR looks about £175 and the CNB range look a bit expensive. Im on a budget of about £500 for the whole lot. I do have the IR units already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
