    How ya Lads

    I'm looking for recommendations for a home cctv system 4 cameras domes or bullet cameras I don't mind..

    I don't see the real need for PTZ in a domestic environment, do you guys?

    I would like the cameras to be above 600TVL quality and have a decent IR night capability.

    A DVR/control system with at least 500Gb harddrive.

    And the usual smart phone view capability, motion sensor email alerts and ability to view on each of the houses tv's. I believe this can be done via a modulator but not really what else is needed?


    So any help or tips be appreciated folks :)

    Cheers

    Lenny, for around 1k you would get a breeze nvr and some nice IP cameras. If you are not having to pay for the installation on top of that.
    op, for your budget I would recommend looking at eyespycctv in Ballymount. They have a good range in cheaper analogue camera that might suit your needs.

    With images now viewable on apps and tablets etc, the need to cable to TVs is very rare now.

    I was in looking at local electrical suppliers and they one full kit Digiview I think and separate IP bullet cameras.

    The chap in The shop said you plug CAT 5 into back of them and run to your DVR..

    Now looking online it seems adapters are needed.. What advantages to IP cameras over analogue?

    I've increased my budget to to 700 in the hope of getting a better system which will alert my phone if it sees something via motion detect :)
