Our Geovision system died a few months ago, and I haven't got round to
replacing it yet. I was thinking of going for one of the Swann Trublue
systems from maplin, as they seem of a reasonable spec and they are not too
expensive.

Had you considered them, or do you think the others are a lot better? (I
know they might not tick all your boxes)

Simon
