Hey,
What is the most suitable security camera system for my needs?
Within 8 years I have had four known break-in attempts, one of which was successful.
I live in a ground floor flat with a front door, a back door & 3 large windows in the living room, kitchen & bedroom.
I wish to: monitor each window & door.
See who is at the door.
Be notified on my phone when activity is detected
I want the system to be low-maintenance.
I live 10 metres from an A road.
The distance from my door & window to the gate at the front is 2 metres.
The distance from my door & window to the gate at the back is 3-4 metres.
IP cameras?
CCTV cameras?

We have a Swann system,awkward to set up but then it works fine with clear pictures and 'phone notification.
See Wickes and Maplin for prices.
