mchlpeel 0 Posted March 21, 2016 Hi guys, my first post here so be gentle. I recently had the unfortunate pleasure of having my bike stolen from inside a carport on my property. Probably like most this is the catalyst for investing in CCTV. I began my research on google and was met with a complete myriad of options for CCTV. From what I gather and certainly correct me if I'm wrong the following are good for CCTV. CMOS sensor of 1/3" or better HD-SDI 1080p PAL at 25fps (is it possible to get 60 fps?) I need at least 1 camera but I already have ideas for 4 down the line. I want to spend around £300 and would like the following specs as a best case scenario. Full 1080p at 60fps Good night vision is this possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mchlpeel 0 Posted March 21, 2016 As an update I have seen one of these cameras. DS-2CD2142FWD-I by Hikvision. Its a 4MP camera and I think it has wireless??? what would I need to use this camera? Do I need an NVR / DVR etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mchlpeel 0 Posted March 22, 2016 I have either posted incorrectly or there are few experts on this sub forum. Anyway........ I used a calculator to work out the required bandwidth. To operate 4 of the above cameras at max settings id need 80MB bandwidth NVR. Am i right in thinking this? If so would one of these be sufficient? DS-7608 by Hikvision? It might sound daft but do i need to run cat5 cable to the cameras? or is everything connected wirelessly to the Broadband router? Obviously i would just have to run power to each camera but this would mean less wires trailing around / through the house. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
