Urgent Advice on security camera for home

Dan82 · 17-11-2014 1:01pm #1

Just wondering could anyone help me, looking at putting a security camera at the front door and one at the back door of our house.
Not sure what is the best equipment to be looking at and id like to keep it under 300 euro if at all possible.
I would really like it to be able to connect to ipad and iphone but again im not sure if this is realistic within budget.
It would be great to hear others points of view and experience on this matter.
Thanks

Cheaper option but only 2 cams (can use 4)

The Securix SMC4 500GB 4 Channel DVR System with Built-in LCD Screen Combo with Smartphone Access and 2 x Weatherproof Cameras has great reviews i think thats the one il go for, i also will need some sort of camera at the front door for these dark evening, any advise on what would be a good choice and work with iphone or ipad

The smc4 should work with iPhone or do you mean a separate one for the front door? In that case: http://www.skybell.com have that one myself, impressed with it.
This might be interesting for you but you're gonna have to wait a while to get it (also don't think the cameras are suitable for outdoor): https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sandboxhome-redefining-family-home-security

Cheers for all the info, il have a look at that now, need the cameras to work outside without question, then looking at putting Phone watch inside the house, seems to be a very good system but 35 euro a month after install is a little on the heavy side i think.

The sky bell looks perfect, very interesting piece of tech and it does even more than what i need, thanks again
