Default Home CCTV Setup

Following on from my Vigilante thread;
http://www.nissan4x4ownersclub.com/f...ad.php?t=29994

I'll shortly be fitting my new CCTV system to the house that we've purchased and I've started to obtain other bits and bobs ready for fitment.

I spent more hours than I care to admit online researching the hell out of all cameras in general. I really didn't know what was available out there and what was best for your money etc, not only that, I even started getting down as far into what CMOS sensors were used in the cameras etc etc before making an educated decision on a Hikvision 4 Channel DS-7204HTHI-K1 DVR with x4 DS-2CE78U8T-IT3 8MP Turret Cameras.

This is on my to do list, got loads of cables part way run under floors upstairs. I’ve had Hikvision recommendations from several people including a friend that fits systems.
Are you using CAT5 POE?

More incoming, I'll be doing a full run down from unboxing to installation

Watching this with real interest, I am having an extension built and so now is the perfect time to install cameras. I was planning mains and cat 6 to each location.
Some one has suggested POE is this a possibility and do the cameras suggested support it, if not what cable is used to connect / power them.

Many thanks

Russell.

Thumbs up I went for LOrex based POE Utra HD 4k system with 2TB NVR

Someone on here recommended Lorex so I went for a fairly basic system but with plenty of scope for later upgrade.

My Lorex NVR has a 2TB memory with Ultra HD 4 K 8 Channel System POE based system.

I only have two Lorex night vision cameras a LNB 8005 with night vision 8MP Ultra HD, plus one motorised camera LNB 8973 they are both colour but will switch to B&W in very low light conditions.

Scope for cloud storage with more at extra cost, my NVR saves a rolling 28 days of footage - plenty for me.

Secure access to system that can be viewed on phone or PC. Took me a while to set it up, still haven't managed to sort out the free cloud storage. Gave a lot of thought to camera locations & NVR location.

System has lots of options for privacy screening etc, alerts to your mobile or via e-mail.

POE is definatally the easiest way to go, as you do not need to run any more wires than just the Ethernet cable. Most POE cameras allow you to use either POE, or an external power supply.

The great thing is, you can get POE hubs, so you can run a single Ethernet cable to a specific location, and then using the POE hub break out to several cameras from that spot saving you having to run several cables to cameras in a remote location.

I have 8 cameras, 2 are straight off of the recorder, 4 more are off a Hub up in the loft, one is on a wireless extender in the garage, but that camera is on it's own power supply as the extender does not support POE, and the last camera is a cheap little PTZ wireless camera.
