Opinions on CCTV system

rustynutz · 2012-01-08 12:43:45

I'm looking for a CCTV system for my house, spotted this http://www.onsalenow.ie/?p=s&sch=details&store=79&prod=1415113 in Malpins for€365, does it seem a good set up? If not can anyone recommend something in the same price range with smart phone access?

Amazing video quality – 1/3” Sony CCD @ 420 TV lines.

This line alone would put me off. Its a contradiction in itself. 420 TVL is very poor quality. Look for 600 or higher.

Thanks for that, thought it was too good to be true, any suggestions for an alternative?

I've checked out some of the retailers as suggested above, I have found this 500gb DVR in a kit complete with 600tvl night vision cameras for €420 plus VAT, does it look reasonable quality? I'm also a bit concerned about setting the DVR up for remote viewing, is this complecated to do? https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=gmail&attid=0.1&thid=1351a5edf47ebcd8&mt=application/pdf&url=https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui%3D2%26ik%3Dc7ea8d7e9b%26view%3Datt%26th%3D1351a5edf47ebcd8%26attid%3D0.1%26disp%3Dsafe%26zw&sig=AHIEtbS5C9PisVQGEQHFbKwI9jRmvi2HfA By the way how do people on here put a long address into a little clicky symbol??
