Home Security Cameras
Does anyone have any knowledge on the above? My family want some to be professionally installed and I don't want them to get ripped off.
We have had 3 quotes so far...
Front House Camera: High resolution Sony Super HAD CCD 530 TVL colour day 0.002 lux night dome camera with 2.8-9.mm verifocal auto-iris lens.
Driveway: 420 TVL colour bullet camera to be installed on lighting post.
Hooked up via a four channel digital video recorder with 160GB HDD.
We have been quoted £1400, £1200 and £650 by three companies all providing the above. All inclusive of VAT and labour.
As you can see there is a bit of a price difference, surely £1400 for 2 cameras and a recorder is extremely expensive? Even £650 seems an overkill.

used to be quite a few dealers in the exchange and mart.
the only problem with cctv is if it just records and you have somthing well worth nicking, theving bastards just pop a bally on and don't care about cameras.
the covert ones that they can't be seen fool theives, but magistrates let them off
if they get caught after a positive id

I bought some camera's and a hard drive recorder when i was having trouble on a site i was working at. I had a friend in the business who supplied me 2 sony lens night vision capable camera's and all the cabling and a power supply for £110 and i bought a 4 way hard drive recorder from maplins for £150 (half price in the sale). I installed it myself but it worked brilliantly so your estimates do sound excessive in my opinion as it can be done DIY if you have some knowledge.
Me and 2 mates sat in the back room one friday night glued to the monitor waiting for any unsuspecting vandals to appear. Down in st mary cray near star lane, notorious to anybody from bromley way...
Not a single person walked past....
Once i had the camera's installed didnt' have any more trouble either
