CCTV

has anyone got cctv and if so what’s the best and cheapest way of doing it
Thanks

 

I use this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/YI-Wireles...6897087&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=yi+camera&psc=1

I pay 5.99 per 3 months for Cloud upload so if ever there was a problem, the data is always available. I have it positioned fixed on front door, but can set it to sweep across whole room.

 

I use tplink cameras inside my summer house, shed and downstairs in the house(to watch the dog) they only record when told to though, we're covered by a monitored alarm which tells us of any movement, but the shed one takes pictures when it senses movement(and 50 quid each with free app). Outside we have hikvision supplied and fitted by a local company £500 for 3 with a 2tb box, stores around a month of recording, and plugs into tv with a mouse and app on the phones. Also got a ring doorbell as the main entrance was a bit of a blind spot so that covers that.

 

Hi Depends on what you want from the cctv is it going outside ? in shed or garage ? what quality are you expecting from the cctv ?do you want to buy right first time and how many you want or buy cheap buy twice ?

these are all questions that you need to answer as there is so many units and quality and capability and compatibility to fit everyones circumstances and budget

would you like to view in real time or record and access anywhere in the world and so on

 

I use these...

I get an email with images for every motion detect (3 pics) ...customisable detection window (4 of 'em)
On board SD card set to overwrite when full (keeps 3 weeks 'ish of data)
Always recording 24hrs in 10 min segments
Records additional motion detect clips separately (as well as sending me pictures)
Weatherproof with night vision

Pretty awesome for the price.

EDIT: forgot to say you can view live from the app(s) as well as long as you have data coverage on your phone/ipad (if you haven't turned off the WiFi when you went on holiday )

 

I only wanted a cctv set up

 

Erm, well, you got it. With extras!!

 

I have just fitted 72 cctv cameras. worked out at about 90 per camera, plus recorder and hard disc

 

I only want 4

 

maybe what i have fitted is a bit spendy for domestic.

hikvision stuff is pretty good, IP POE is easiest to fit

 

And that's just the bedroom!

 

I've seen that door on YouTube.woman drops her towel as she answers the door to the dominoes pizza man

 

Yeah, it was 'Family Size'. Dominoes is my part-timer!

 

I can view all of my cameras from my phone, I like that. I can also talk through a few of them. That's fun. Mine is through my alarm service.

 

well you have to capture all angles

 

This is the sort of thing I was thinking of but not sure what it’s like and how easy to install

Mines a similar kit to that, the bloke had to make the cables for it though with one end attaching internally on the cameras and the plug going on the other end, have you typing of trying a local company? If your anywhere near Derbyshire I can recommend the people that did mine. I paid 500 quid all fitted with 3 cameras, he recording and to an app on my phone aswell. The kit for mine inn Amazon is 320 quid so fitting shouldn't cost you too much I wouldn't have thought(took him around an hour)

 

Thought not typing (predictive text)

I don’t like the white cameras prefer black
And what is putting me off is the thought of running cables everywhere.
And to where to run them
I hate cables everywhere
