Hi Guys,
I'm planning on installing a CCTV system. I'm doing it myself so I figure POE will make life easier. I was planning on buying a complete NVR system but now I am thinking of sourcing the camera's and NVR separately because of specific needs, but I am confused about compatibility and have questions about audio as I would like to record audio at the front of the property. Below is what I am thinking, if anyone can suggest products and where I can source them.
POE NVR 4 channel (8 CH if its not to expensive to allow for expansion in the future). Must have event trigger e mail notification, motion detect and remote viewing and be configured over network via PC as I plan to keep NVR in the attic.
3 x outdoor bullet POE cams , (for side and back of property, audio not so import and will settle for res of 720P/960P to keep cost down).
1 x out door cam for front of property, min resolution 1080P, must have built in mic to record audio with picture. I would also prefer this to be a PTZ cam. Also can audio be recorded over POE with video (i.e. single cat5 cable to for sound, video and power? Or is a separate mic/audio line to NVR required details on audio is scant when reviewing systems online)
My Budget is £250, but can stretch to £300. Is this reasonable? Any advice and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Cams must have half decent night vision. 20 - 30 meters.
