Network cables, cheap as chips

There you go, you can record directly to any pc on your network as well with most these setups, or you can buy a new tower £150, from ebuyer or buy an older pc to reuse for this function or just use a current computer on home network, you can also login and view your camera(s) on any other pc at work, we had a guy at our previous work place that used this setup.

wireless systems are crap,   generaly there aimed at gutter end of market  crap ccd's crap lenses and it is very easy for someone else to turn it off

as for useing an old pc  imo old pc's are to unreliable  possible hardware issues  and garanteed software issues if it's running windows use a dedicated box   also it use a LOT less power

Thanks for the reply.
I'm looking at Maplin at the moment, full wired kits with a dvr.
The reviews are suggesting Swann is the make to go for, do you agree?

the company i work for uses inspire. they seem to be the way to go, it may not be as easy to get ahold of as it is usually used by trade but that's what i know, anything that's retail probably won't be as good, i haven't heard of swann.

What specs should i look out for? cheers.

use 700TVL cameras for decent quality, it's only a basic system so you won't need any features the top of the range DVR's provide, so camera spec is the main thing, you'll want night and day, and the range and focus is up to you
