Cctv kit under £100

chriz1

Hi I'm looking for a cctv kit I've seen a few on ebay but they are chinease kits not sure how good they are? I want one that consists of 4 cameras (ideally wireless) that has its own hard drive system, or of anyone knows of one that records directly to computer? Also I want to be able to view it over the Internet.

You want four CCTV cameras for under £100? About the nearest you'll get are webcams!

Do you really need an answer, 4 wireless camera with DVR for under £100.

Post a link to these cctv kits. Bet they will be 4 nasty wireless cameras no better than a webcam, but no recording facility.

For that price they will be the lowest spec possible - however even the lowest spec possible in 2013 might beat the lowest spec possible in 1993, so may be OK in some circumstances.

Expect the cameras to be low resolution, very wide fixed angle, no/poor night vision, noisy signal, probably degrade your Wi-Fi if they use 2.4GHz, and the DVR may come without a drive and be recording in an arcane format. It won't include a monitor. That said, for general will lit close up stuff where you just monitor as opposed to needing to rely on footage in Court, it may do enough of the job to be worthwhile. For outdoors at a warehouse at night to prosecute burglars, pretty useless.

To get anything decent, you'll need to spend a minimum of £240 - and this is for Chinese kit! Anything can be made down to a price but you get what you pay for!

ive seen stuff on the net about the cheaper ones being on either frequencies that are not supposed to be used or are at best illegal, they say something like check local laws for restrictions, plus ive also heared that you can block the signal from the camera to the receiver, so be careful what you buy.
