HI all I need a basic 3 camera cctv system.
I currently have a couple of Ring wifi cameras which I dont like and arent very good as they are slow to respond and most of all at a glance you cant see all cameras as you would with a cctv system
Ive been looking at Swann and HIK systems using BNC cables as if i used an IP based system I wouldnt be able to run a cable direct to my router and would have to use a powerline adaptor to connect my box to the router. PLus if i had to make the ethernet cables longer or shorter i dont know how to crimp to do that.
So Im looking at some BNC systems
My questions are
For my simple set up is BNC ok?
If I use BNC cables and run the cables outside the house would I need to put them in trunking?
If an IP system is better what would you recommend and could I use a Powerline adaptor to connect the box to the router and all cameras will have a direct cable to them?
TIA in advance
Bart
