[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 394161, member: 23472"] [B]Alarm[/B] Everyone you ask (or everyone who answers) will have their own preferred choice of make / model of panel. You may not like the look of the keypad that goes with brand "x" alarm and think that the keypad for brand "y" looks easier to use, it really is up to you since it will be you that has to use it and look at it every day. [B]CCTV[/B] Get the best cameras you can afford for your budget, the higher the TVL rating the better the picture (In general) Something to bear in mind when you install the cameras is often cameras are mounted high (Out of harms way) and so you can only see the top of a persons head so to "make out a persons face" you need to have the camera mounted lower down....................looking at their face (something a lot of people forget) Recording time depends on several factors: Size of the hard drive storing the pictures, size of image to be recorded, how many cameras are being recorded, are all cameras being recorded at the same time. With most DVR's you can choose / change these options, and most can send you a message / picture if they "detect" something, but this is not recommended if the cameras are looking at changing scenery. I.e looking at a road, or trees, or........ [/QUOTE]
