Hi. protect. just to give you an idea LEGO cameras are £99 for kids. dont expect to much. but take a look at the avtech ip camera it will do everything you need for a little more money http://avn80x.blogspot.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted December 2, 2011 dahua 4 channel DVR then use any cctv camera dahua can be found in UK sold as Adata. you dont even need a hard drive in the DVR, can just record over network to PSS software on your computer. But hard drive in the DVR is recommended. then maybe look at a 700TVL day night IR bullet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protect101 0 Posted December 2, 2011 the 700TVL looks very good... is there a way I can connect it up without the 4 channel thingy I mean I only need one camera not 4? also why is it reccommended to have a harddrive installed and not record via software...also just took your advice.. would this setup work? item number 230709406785 will add a 1.5t hardrive.. will that be enough space or too much? and item number 170693725645 ino it says £180 but you can offer him and he will probs accept £75 check as he sold some for 75-80 if you click on the number hes sold.. sorry about this.. but im a noob.. so thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 2, 2011 protect101. £65 for a 4 way dvr from hongkong to the uk P&P free is a waste of £65. no support nothing. and the cameras you have listed cheaper if you buy local and not off ebay. what is your budget ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protect101 0 Posted December 3, 2011 im not sure where I can buy a 700TVL bullet outside for less than £75? I need a cheap and reliable DVR I only need it for 1 camera I don't know why it has to be 4 channel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protect101 0 Posted December 6, 2011 any reccomendations? on what camera to get? as most people on this forums say its not all about spec of camera but who its made by, I dont really want a camera from ebay made in china as the quality may be questionable.. is there any brands or specific cameras you can reccommend? i only need one for the front of the house.. really in need of help now guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 6, 2011 Hi protect101. your problem is just needing 1 camera. which leaves you with two options a network camera like the one in earlier post. http://avn80x.blogspot.com/ this will record to your pc and have mobile viewing you can buy from the bottom of the link (maplins) but you will need a outdoor housing. going analog get a little harder as you cant record direct to h/drive. so you need a single channel (usb recorder) which are not the best things. or for your budget you could install a light camera with SD card recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg__ZGq2OJY&feature=related Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protect101 0 Posted December 6, 2011 thanks for the advice, just had a flood light installed at the front so guardcam wouldn't be great, also not to keen on it talking I was thinking of buying a secondhand DVR and fitting my own HD in it, like this one ebay item number 330647407555 and then buying a single camera.. but can't seem to find a good camera.. they all seem to be nonbranded on ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted December 6, 2011 protect101 the ebay listing is S/H junk its too old ..... no point in buying a good quality camera and recording in bad quality. with your budget the link to the avtech is your best option they are a good camera 1.3mp record to your pc. have alerts sent to your mobile audio or you can just get a dahua dvr with a good camera for £200 (brand new with hard drive) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
