Some quick info on a system

[tigwelder 0]

Need to setup a 4 camera system to monitor my cars in front of my house

Its about 30' from the house to the street.

There is 1 street light on the oppiste side of the street.

Going to use a dvr card in a dedicated computer.

 

Any help with cameras would be great.

 

Thnx Rick

Hi,

 

I would recommend using a 600TVL camera setup as a bare minimum. The quality on these are far superier than standard cameras. Be very careful when buying CCTV cameras from eBay, some people sell 600TVL cameras but infact ship out 420TVL or below.

 

I would also recommend that you get a vari focal range of 2.8 ~ 12mm so that you can fine tune your viewing angle. Also, Try and go for low light cameras rather than IR, Generally a better result. The street light should be enough to produce a good picture.

 

Below are three types of camera that I would recommend differing in styling and specfication

 

Camera 1 (Lowest Price - Economical For Your Wallet)

Camera 2 (Incredible Value For Money - Low Light Night Vision)

As for a DVR I would recommend going for something thats branded and has a decent warranty. Sometimes its better thinking outside the box, for example, I can show you an 8 Channel CCTV DVR that is a bit more expensive than a four channel but you get a lot more Bang for your Buck! They Also have video demonstrations on YouTube just search "Reptile DVR" on the search box on YouTube.

 

DVR 8 Channel

Try and go for low light cameras rather than IR

 

 

so why advertise an IR camera ???

 

it might be a better start if you remove your company prices before posting.
