    Has anyone any advice on what wireless CCTV cameras to buy? My girlfriend wants to get two installed at the back of her mother's house. She saw one in the Argos catalogue, but I'd be loath to buy anything from them. The intention is to deter a problem neighbour from damaging her garden.

    A quick google is suggesting something like this:

    There's a PC in the house to use as the DVR. Would I be better off getting one of the more expensive models with a couple of cameras and dedicated DVR like this one:

    Hi Draco. It really depens on what you want to use this for. If its just to view who is at the door etc thats fine. If you are having hassle & you plan on using the images as evidence you need something more professional with digital watermarking.

    Resolution 450 TVL is a bit poor. For good quality look for 520 or higher.
    The lux level is also poor. Look for cameras that will function at lux below .1

    If wiring is an option you will get much better quality for that money.

    Hah! Should have looked through the Home & Garden forums more. Any chance a mod could move this thread in there?

    You'll have to ask Koolkid.
