Home CCTV ?

For comparison, here's a daytime pic from my Vstarcam dome camera. It's an IP camera which records to inbuilt SD card, remote control with 5 preset positions and cost ~£85. Only issue I've really had is that every few days it seemed to reset itself to point straight forwards / down but the latest s/w update seems to have solved that. Domed, so no spiders.



Not got any nightime pics, but will add some over the weekend if I remember.

I'm looking for something similar, what model is that?

Has to be PoE for me though :/.

I wouldn't get too hung up over the PoE requirement, unless you want WiFi and only want a short power cable run?
The cables are usually combined power and coax.

Yep - the ads etc. are a bit corny, and the translation from Chinese isn't the best. I expected them to be fairly rubbish but they are actually very good! Of course, they may not last - but they're doing better than the expensive cameras so far.

they're not good imo, the saving of videos is basically non-existant unless you want to save it to an SD card which the thief could just remove

No, I WANT PoE. This provides internet (no dodgy wifi signal) and power in a very small cable. I'm of course talking about IP camera's.

God-Damn spiders! Are they attracted to the Infra-red or something? Almost every day a new one sets up camp right in front of the lens.

You need to buy a turret:

Some anti-spider spray would help.

Not in my experience it won't - Spiderex did very little for me.

This spider patiently dismantled his web overnight and rebuilt it. Such is his determination to bugger up my CCTV.

(apart from being annoying) That's cool!

It's still there this morning - he had a night off!
