CCTV Suggestions

Hi, I'm looking at putting in some sort of CCTV system in the near future, just not certain of the best choice for my setup. My first thought was 2 or 3 wifi cameras inside covering the front and back doors and the corridor.

Hi,

I'm looking at putting in some sort of CCTV system in the near future, just not certain of the best choice for my setup. My first thought was 2 or 3 wifi cameras inside covering the front and back doors and the corridor. Then I was considering 4 outside cameras on covering the front door, one the rest of the front and 2 at the back. I live in a bugalow, slightly T shaped, with the front door on the protruding part of the T so hard to cover front with just 1 camera. Any suggestions on my best choices for either option considering I'm looking at self-install budget €300-€400.

Thanks for any help.

Avoid wireless for cctv if you plan on recording or constantly monitoring, especially if you plan on 4 cameras. It's fine if you just want to have the odd look.

Hikvision make some very decent cheap and cheerful cameras. You'll find plenty of them and 4x IP camera+NVR kits on eBay. After that you just need a monitor, a box of Cat5e, some clips and a crimp tool.
