Home CCTV recommendations

Hi

Can anyone recommend any home CCTV systems? I need 4 cameras and the only must is remote viewing over phone.
My budget is around 450/500 including dvr.

Thanks
J

    Forget wireless cameras!!
    if you can use ip cameras and go for poe (power over ethernet) makes for very simple wiring
    take a look at someone like MAS Wirral

    Happy with wired cameras. Looked at MAS website but they only seem to be doing very expensive cameras...

    I have 3 of these, which have been on without problems for 2 years:

    I sometimes access them over the internet, but never tried from a mobile phone... their website claims " Compatible With iOS (iPhone/iPad) & Android", so it must be ok.

    They have motion and sound detection, and can save pics and videos from those events to a remote destination (and also send pics by email).

    Thanks. Will see if I can get a combined kit as otherwise individual cameras, dvr and cables seem to go over my budget.
    Thanks
