Hope this is in the right department but im looking for a cctv to go on my house following a few disrespectfull folk !
Im not looking for the state of the art unit but something that will do the job fine and record plenty of footage so I can just let it run. Was thinking of the dome type ? And was wanting 3 cameras.
Has anyone bought anything like im looking for and where would be the best place to get it from ?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

We got one of the 4 camera jobs from Maplin a couple of years back for our office.

It works ok, records over the old footage when the HDD is full, and you can view the cameras live from anywhere in the world on you phone, or PC (but not Mac).

Image quality is acceptable enough, although last time we had an incident, the police said the kid involved wasn't close enough to the camera to clearly identify. We have been able to make out faces on other occasions though.

Samsung do a 4 camera kit with all cables and recorder and remote access for under £350 - its good enough for the average house. If you decide you want one give me a shout for a deal.

I use a Swann system with remote access. Had it a few years no problems. I have upgraded some cameras as the original ones were B/w and poorer quality. Maplins do their kit as do macro.
