WES180 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 What systems do you run? Ive been looking at these on eBay - Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112275701026 Has anyone got any experience with this kit and what do you think or can you recommend a better 1080p alternative around the same price? I love the P2P feature of it being displayed remotely to my mobile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I use a swan 8 channel kit with 4 1080p cameras. I can view it remotely and it has a 1tb hard drive so I get a good time on the recorder. You can set up motion detection and all sorts on it - also what areas you wish to have motion detection. It's now up to £400 in screwfix for the same kit I paid £300 for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 How long have you had it for Stef? Ive just read about someones Swann kit packing up after 2 years but i guess that could just be a one off. The alarm engineer i use at work said the kit i posted is good for the price but its always nice to get other opinions. He actuall runs a H-View system which he shown me on his phone. I thought that feature was brilliant. The £399 kit in Screwfix is 2tb so maybe thats why the price has now increased. http://www.screwfix.com/p/swann-swdvk-845504-uk-8-channel-security-system-4-cameras/2443p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurray01 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Nothing yet, but I need to get some ASAP. Especially with having three cars parked on the road (one quite far away from the house) it would be prudent to have outside coverage.

WES180 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 To be honest i always thought it would be in the region of £1000 for a basic system. I didnt realise you can get systems like above connected to your phone for remote viewing so cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dagger Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I just have a basic CCTV camera which i've installed in the door of my garage, as this overlooks the road where the other car is parked It records HD onto a SD Card, and loops every month Used the recording to prove a neighbours car got hit last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What make/model is yours, if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had mine a few keep months now just, no problems what so ever. I have installed my own cables rather than the rubbish stuff they come with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've not yet purchased a system for the house as thankfully crime is very low in the area; but I've found this website to be very keenly priced: http://www.freetv.ie/cctv/ I also plan to fit a done in the ceiling at the top of the stairs which will capture any intruder face on; should they come up the stairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
