Hi guys, I know this has been asked time and time again but times change, tech changes and prices change so I think this is always something that needs to be asked every so many months and the fact that I am looking at get cctv myself due to some houses being robbed around me.
Ok it needs to be outdoor cameras as the indoor camer I have doesn't work in the night time as the infrared sensors always give off a reflection on the window.
It also needs to be able to have motion detection so it will send me an email and it would be nice to connect to the cameras via the internet when I am not at home.
I need at least 2 cameras but am leaning towards 4 now but its all dependant on price and I want colour and they have to be wired as the wireless signal around me is aweful.
Also not bothered about them having audio either although I think most come with this anyhow.
The price I want to spend is around £150 but willing to go up to £200 if needed. Not a great amount I know but that is the budget I have unfortunately.
I have seen a few on the bay but just not sure when it comes to the compression rates of video and image sensors to name a few.
Are the dome cameras you see for around 50 quid ok? Guessing having one system for all would be best but would they be a viable option?
