Hi guys, as I am getting my first house, all the things I have wanted to do (e.g. home cinema room etc) are coming to the forefront of my mind.
One of the things I wanted to do was also have a home cctv system. Mostly for around my premises. So I am looking some ideas if you wouldn't mind?
What I would like the system to do:
Ideally, I would like it to record around my premises during the day and night. If there is an issue (e.g. movement) then it would message me or similar and I could log in on my phone and computer to have a look). I would also like it to have good quality. E.g. FullHD.
In terms of storage for cameras: I have the Synology DS2415+ 12 Bay. It has in built software for a home CCTV system. I am unsure how good it is though? Or if it would be enough for the job?
Cameras: They would need to be decent quality (FullHD?), good images at night time (infrared?), water/weather proof and wifi enabled to ease installation? Although if it needs a power lead then an ethernet lead wouldn't add much more hassle!
I liked the idea of having one at my door which also has a screen on the inside so you can see who is calling?
Locations (so far anyway,):
Front of house (driveway), Front door (possibly one which has a screen inside to check before opening), both sides of house (including a side door to the house), back patio doors and garden including shed area.
So, any advice guys? I think my inner geek is coming out but it increases security and would be a cool thing to have!
All help and suggestions very welcome. Thank you.
