Good Quality CCTV and DVR DIY

tred · 2011-01-12 16:05:27

Folks, Any good recomendations, for a HOME CCTV. 2/ Possibly 3 good quality cameras , linked to a DVR. Possibly a months data stored on it. I am planning to have it in an area in the attic. So low power consumption and quiet would would be great, and also easy enough to DIY.

RF concepts will have what you need.
Look out for a dvr that will do full D1 resolution. With 3 cameras you'd want 50 frames per sec but could get away with 25 @ D1. The dvrs I use do not have a fan but my supplier is trade only.
With regard to the cameras look out for one with >540 tvl and a good chipset like the samsung W5, fast shutter speed in low light. Depending on light levels and where you are placing the cameras you will need to decide if you need IR and what type of lens you need
I could ramble on all day but if you have any more questions just ask
