Don't be a dick? You started this with your stupid comment and now you've been made to look like an idiot when you should have kept your mouth shut.Originally posted by woohoo View PostDon't be a dick and get a sense of humour. Or move over to general and we can take this over there. Still say you are a bot.
I still say you're a moron.

Advertising a specific make of camera? I mentioned Axis, Milestone as a solution, Hikvision and Milestone as a solution or Hikvision NVR with Hikvision cameras.

but then you mentioned the Hikvision as the cam you have in your own home. Anyway, as this is a professional forum you should be banned for being an advertising bot.Originally posted by Mag View PostYou really are a bit dumb aren't you?

Sounds like a sockie for Hikvision - mods can we ban this advertising bot.Originally posted by Mag View PostI used to install/manage/maintain IP CCTV solutions a few years back.
Our setups were mainly based on Axis IP cameras and Milestone VMS (there's a free version) which runs on a Windows box. Axis IP cameras are great, but very expensive.
NLUK mentioned Hikvision which is what I use on my own home, they have a wide variety of cameras and really good quality. Image quality compares to Axis but probably at a fifth of the cost. I use Milestone on a Windows box but it's bit more flexible than just a standard Hikvision/other standalone recorder.
I personally wouldn't go with wireless... if you're going to go through the pain of installing a power feed for a wireless camera, just install a cat5/cat6 cable and power it with PoE and be done with it.
Either way, dont' scrimp on it... when all you can see is what resembles someone with a head like a blurred thumb, you'd wish you'd spent an extra few hundred notes to get proper HD cameras.
HTH.

Now some people would say it's a bannable offence to describe the best way to kill someone in the event of a burglary and in a professional forum. But not me I respect you for it.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostAnd a barky dog to alert you someone is there.
That will get rid of them.
Though remember to shoot them in the front not in the back while they are running away, otherwise it isn't reasonable force.
As it is technical, if you look at a few vids on youtube / nest etc you will see that fairly often dogs tend to stay out the way of burglars and don't really get in the way once they are in the house. But I agree a barky dog is better than an alarm.
