claustro 0 Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Hi all! I am trying to diy a cheap surveillance system for my home. I leave in the front of a 2 family house. We have the back wall in common and 3 wall free with a garden all around I am planning to install 5 IP camera outside and one inside as I show you in the photos below. The camera on the terrace on the first floor is for someone who try to enter through the roof of my neigh-board ( not surveilled ) Can you tell me: 1) do you thing a video surveillance system would be a good deterrent for bad guys? 2) do you think my project is doable 3) Do you think I can make it with vga resolution or I'll need HD camera if I'would like to have face recognition? The cameras I was thinking about are these. I know little china - toy camera but i am short on budget for now http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/-Megapixels-720P-Outdoor-Waterproof-H.264-IP-Camera-with-IR-40M-View.html http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/HD-720P-WDR-IR-20m-Night-Vision-Indoor-IP-Metal-Dome-Camera.html 4) what do you think of this cameras? Please excuse me for my very bad english hope you'll understand Thank you Andrea Edited May 8, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nDAlk90 0 Posted May 8, 2012 I would recommend Hybrid NVR / DVR. This way you can have IP in critical areas like Driveway, Street. Font door & side of home can be analog to save money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claustro 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Thank you very very much for your reply. Your is a good point But I am afraid it is not convenient in my situation , My house is already wired with a rj45 cable which I use as home pc network , So I can't use this wires for analog video signalI think that the costs of new wires installation will be easily more than how much I can save with analog vs Ip camera.
