This uses your home wifi.. Pretty nifty as you can view the cameras from wherever you are on your phone.. And get alerts when certain cameras detect movement.. Cameras all record to internal memory off a battery if you lose power or Wifi.. Then update the saved information on the computer when wifi becomes available.. Works okay... Pretty good quality..

The only thing that put me off was its battery and not on mains power.Uniden - http://www.uniden.com.au/AUSTRALIA/p_g2720_index.aspAfter doing some reading its starting to look like that most systems are head into mobile viewing.The swann one im like can be viewed through your smart phone.Swann - http://www.swann.com/s/products/view/?product=1398 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus it only records if motion is detected.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper IR illumination is the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old_mate Member 767 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 03/08/13 07:53 AM Share Posted 03/08/13 07:53 AM haha, I couldnt do anything half decent for that amount of money - that's chinese hardware territory that. A decent four camera install can range from 1600 to 4k.A lot of the better camera's these days come with SD card slots so no need to plug into a NVR or PC - apps control them.Cops don't bother with crap video quality anymore.even a cheapo NVR with a couple of terabyte of storage costs a few hundred. Then there is power supply, camera, cable etc etc. There are ebay specials that come in a lot less.Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
