[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 560889, member: 23472"] With CCTV you should also look at the angle of view that you wish to see, and compare that to the prospective camera, another thing to consider is night vision, some cameras have a white LED which comes on when it detects movement, (so you get a colour picture at night) Some cameras with internal storage (SD card) rely on an APP for you to be able to view the recordings/live on your phone. The problem with these is when the company goes bust the app will go too so you can't access the pictures (Unless you take the SD card out and hope your PC can read it) It is for the above reasons I would never recommend a "stand alone" camera, a DVR or NVR can even be kept out the way in the loft, and it will always work. You can ask 10 people which camera they recommend, you will get 10 different answers. What ever you do, don't get a pan/tilt/zoom camera, and always look at the reviews. The CCTV I have is no longer made, but this one [URL='https://amzn.to/3ErN3Mn']Click me[/URL] is the same make and very close. (Yes it uses CAT5 cable) [/QUOTE]
