Title: CCTV Post by: Chubbs on Friday, February 22, 2013, 18:19:32 Anyone got any experience in this field.
Looking for something thing to keep an eye out for yoofs trying to mess with my car. The options are an in car camera or a wall mounted CCTV camera. Does anyone have either or can recommend anything? Nothing that breaks the bank. :-) Title: Re: CCTV Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, February 22, 2013, 18:20:27 Damn I thought this might be a thread about Coventry City TV showing our game live next week ;)
Sorry Chubbs. Title: Re: CCTV Post by: Ginginho on Friday, February 22, 2013, 18:22:43 I was hoping this was the CCTV footage of Paolo "breaking" into his office.

Batter the fuckers! Title: Re: CCTV Post by: Chubbs on Friday, February 22, 2013, 18:33:28 I'd suggest a thermos of hot, black coffee and a baseball bat (preferably impregnated with nails). Batter the fuckers! I'd rather be sleeping, but i could be tempted to get the rocking chair out, but i dont have a porch :-( Title: Re: CCTV Post by: Farmboy on Friday, February 22, 2013, 18:36:58 It all depends what you want to do with the footage you'll record from the system. If you want to prosecute you will need a professional system (£500ish for a 1 camera system). If it is just for you to keep an eye on things, go to maplins and buy one of their systems (£150-300 2-4 camera kit)
Not knowing where you live, be careful of putting lots of cameras around your house, otherwise you'll look like a drug dealer, and you WILL get broken into, or police knocking on your door!

Nothing that breaks the bank. :-) Installed a few systems including my own - CCTV over the iPhone and iPad - Maplins do some good deals or I can point you to a more expensive option if you want HD. Do you park it outside your house? I would try installing a dummy camera first to see if that deters them - if not go for a live camera... http://www.maplin.co.uk/diy-anti-theft-kit-dummy-cctv-kit-224903 http://www.maplin.co.uk/500gb-8ch-network-security-system-and-smartphone-viewing-and-4-x-480tvl-cameras-589999 Title: Re: CCTV Post by: Chubbs on Friday, February 22, 2013, 19:02:29 Installed a few systems including my own - CCTV over the iPhone and iPad - Maplins do some good deals or I can point you to a more expensive option if you want HD Just after a basic set up really, will not need to cover a distance of more gthan 10 meters, Night vision would be a must. It will just be the 1 camera. if you could recommend a good starter kit that would be great.Title: Re: CCTV Post by: @MacPhlea on Friday, February 22, 2013, 19:06:32 Just after a basic set up really, will not need to cover a distance of more gthan 10 meters, Night vision would be a must.

Title: Re: CCTV Post by: jonny72 on Friday, February 22, 2013, 19:12:15 I use my Synology box for surveillance - you just need the camera, everything else is built in. The mobile apps are pretty good, for remote viewing and notifications. Only downside is it only comes with a license for one camera and you have to pay for extra licenses if you want more. Not much use if you don't have a Synology box but another good reason for getting one.
