Cheap cctv, cameras in B&Q and Makro are
about
£20 mark. The only problem is they are not so good in the low light 1 maybe
2
lux rated. Additionally I was looking at the Micromark cameras in B& Q
and
noticed the field of vision appears to be very narrow. The sound on most of
the
cameras I've tried is SUPERB and worth as much as the picture
itself...especially when a name isa mentioned about 30 yards away from the
camera and it is picked up clear as day...If necessary it can confirm the
police
have the picked up the right guy....
The video controller put in the neighbours is
the
Response unit and does work well especially in conjunstion with an
automatic
switcher for 4 cams.
Remeber colour is great , but at night it will
be
black unless well lit and may even be poor with reasonable lights. B&W
is
definitely the way to go, can be view clearly with minimal lights (0.5
lux).

Hi,
just scanning
back
through unread messages & spotted a site doing cheap CCTV stuff. Mainly
for around the £30 mark.
Was thinking of
hooking up a couple of motion sensitive cameras to some sort of capture
system. I have an old video that could serve, the sounds gone, but picture
is
fine) & they sell a video controller that might do this, though
only
seems to work with lower quality cameras. The alternative is to use a PC.
Not
sure how I'd interface the motion sensors on the camera
though.
Any
thoughts??
Cheers
Aidan
