I appreciate that's a totally open thread title that presents so many questions but here's where I'm coming from...
Got up this morning to find that I'm pretty sure someone has tried my car door through the night. The handle is now knackered.
I'd been toying with home CCTV for so long but like every other statistic, I wait for something to happen before really starting to do something about it.
Now I could pay 4 figures and have someone come in with their drills and their cables for a really good setup but at this stage I'm not really wanting to do that.
I would prefer wireless, although I'm not closed minded to wired.
I obviously want a camera at the front of the house pointing at the drive. Side of house and out the back are at this moment in time not a necessity but again, I'm not against it and somewhere at the end of it all I'd probably have those anyway.
Now if anything is going to happen then highly likely it'll be when it's dark, so being able to pick up something semi-worthwhile in the dark is a must. No good being heavily pixelated. Good in bad weather will be a must but I imagine most are anyway?
Just looking for something decent enough without breaking the bank that I can probably put up myself that will serve as a 'that'll do for now' until later down the line when I maybe look at getting a company to install something 'proper'.
But don't want to just jump on Amazon now, close my eyes and click and wind up with something that's just tosh.
