Wireless CCTV System for Home

->>> i am looking for a high resolution wireless cctv system for my home
->> Right OK no problem! How many cameras are you looking to mount?
->>> 2 i think for a start..with the option to add further cameras
->> Would these be outdoor cameras?
->>> yes
->> How far these cameras need to see especially in the dark?
->>> front 50 feet rear 100 feet..i require good quality resolution..no good having a camera that looks but has poor definition
->> Right OK! Based on your requirements, this system would be an ideal fit!
->> http://www.ukcctv.co.uk/2-Camera--Wireless-Outdoor-(Recording)-Advance-System-cctv-security-systems-digital-home-commercial-uk-PKG-1908.jsf
->>> is it correct that a 5.8ghz system is better than a 2.4ghz system
->> Frequency doesn't make any difference in terms of quality. If you have wireless networks in the house then 5.8 GHz is better as it doesn't conflict with existing networks
->>> i have broadband..could this cause a problem?
->> As long as your wireless router is not placed in the same room as the receivers. It should be OK.
->> Also a wired system for a house is much more cost-effective and preferred. Would you consider that or you specifically want wireless?
->>> ok..so is the system you recommend fully wireless..plus i was thinking of having still camera positioned backup..is this a good idea?
->>> i prefer wireless
->>> have we lost contact?
->> Sorry to keep you! Sorry how do you mean about still camera?
->>> you have still wildlife cameras
->> We don't do any specialised wild life cameras as normal high quality night vision cameras do the job.
->>> ok thanks
->> They don't emit any light visible to the animal or human eye, hence the camera can operate and record easily without deterring them.

4 Camera CCTV System High/Ultra High Res

Paul: Hi, the set up I am looking at is 3 x external hi res cameras (night vision), plus a DVR 4 channel recorder. i will probably need 3 lengths of 20m pre made RCA/video & power cables too. Does having this cable mean individual power supplies are needed too for the cameras?
->> That's right. But you would still power all the cameras next to your DVR as its a combo cable that carries both video and power.
->> How far do you need to see from the cameras especially in the dark?
Paul: probably about 15m
->> http://www.ukcctv.co.uk/4-Camera--Wired-Outdoor-(Recording)-Advance-System-cctv-security-systems-digital-home-commercial-uk-PKG-0933.jsf
Paul: i'm abit confused on the power thing again
Paul: so each camera will need two cables. 1 to plug into a sandard power socket and the other to run to the DVR system?
->> Basically you would be supplied with a Pre-made BNC/Power cable. One end of those cables attach to the camera and on the other end the BNC bit goes into the DVR and the power bit attached to the power supply and goes into the mains next to the DVR.
->> Makes sense hopefully?
Paul: right gotch ya
Paul: so i will just need to ensure i have sufficient power sockets next to my dvr system
Paul: which i assume also needs power so in theory 5 sockets?
Paul: if using 4 cameras
->> 4 sockets including DVR.
->> Yes with 4 cameras you will need 5 sockets.
Paul: gr8. are the DVR accesible via the inrternet?
->> So in essence you can use an extension board with 5 sockets
->> Yes they are.
Paul: yep
Paul: is there a big difference between the his res cameras and the ultra hi res ones?
Paul: hi res
->> In terms of quality there is yes. These are 480 TVL and ultra high res is 520-540 TVL.
Paul: is it going to make a significant difference to an image about 15 m away?
Paul: english?
Paul: lol
->> If its for a house an advance system is OK.
Paul: yes it is
->> TVL are the TV lines that determine resolution on the pic.
->> Higher the TVL better the clarity gets.
Paul: right
Paul: so the more TV lines the better quality picture?
->> Correct! 480 is pretty decent but 500 + is fantastic.
Paul: ok gr8. out of interest what does BNC RCA stand for?
->> BNC is a video out connection on the DVR and RCA is the little phono connections on your TV.
Paul: ah right. do the cameras you mention above include motion detectors?
Paul: so in theory record when motion detected?
->> Yes they are triggered by movement.
Paul: ok gr8. i think that is everything thx for you hlp
->> My pleasure.
