Home wireless CCTV

[AudiA8Quattro]

I'm looking at doing this at home, requirements, wireless, at least 2 cameras ideally battery powered, at least 24 hour constant recording(remote unit, not using laptop).
Any recommendations? cheers

i have experience in the security industry, long story short is don't use wireless, it's hassle, never simple to setup and won't work near as well as a wired solution, it may not appear it but wires really are less hassle.

use the wired systems, I played around with the network cameras a while back, considering you can supply power to the camera on the cat cables is quite handy considering you will only be using two.

You can always buy a tower and use it as a server, you can even login remotely and view then if you wanted too.

Thanks for the advice guys, wireless just seemed the easiest option.
So how easy is it to fit wired?

Very easy, I'm not electronically minded but I have installed a wired system with multiple night-vision cams, multiple-channel 1TB hard drive with all extras myself within a day. But a good local company may charge anywhere between £500-£2,500 depending on your requirements and spec etc etc.
PM me if you would like more info/suggestions

But defo go wired !

I think i'm more worried about making a hole all the way through the wall to mount the camera and wire it

i would suggest using an Inspire Blue DVR with Sony Cameras... you can search for this link yourself or you can buy them from my company but i don't want to be advertising for free on here... that's what i would reccomend anyway

the upside of using somebody else as an installer is maintenance, if it goes wrong they know exactly what to do and can replace it ASAP, without the knowledge it could take a while

Thanks for the info, but i don't want to paying a fortune out to maintain a system.
I could just run one camera at the front of the house, that would probably be enough.
