I've just purchased a new toy and need a decent CCTV set up outside my house so I can keep an eye on things/have a deterrent. I've done a lot of reading but CCTV installations seem an absolute minefield. ORiginally I was just going to go with the Arlo Wireless CCTV kit, which has no power/ethernet leads and seems really easy for a novice like me. However, I'm concerned that as it is based on motion detection it may miss something, it can also only record for a predetermined amount of time and needs to have the batteries changed every few months (Not ideal if the camera is at the top of your house).
So, I need a set up that can record on to a hard drive 24/7, WiFi/Remote viewing is a nicety but not essential. I also have to consider how I am going to get power to it/wire everything into the house given it will be outside.
This IP camera seems to get good reviews and is a fair price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01AC1XRGA/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
However, how would I connect it to an NVR and what else would I need? The cables also seem very chunky which may also present problems drilling through into the house.
Any help is appreciated!
