What Remote Camera Is Best?

[susanxx]

I'm looking to get a remote camera for the front of my property but want to view it on my TV. All the ones I look at appear to be via a phone, tablet or laptop. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should be looking for? Thanks

I can't answer your question re type of camera, but I recently got a local security firm to come and fit a camera for me. They connected it to my phone, and also to my TV. I am well pleased. It might be worth getting a professional in to do it.

My MIL has a system fitted, I make do with a couple of fake ones, they look real and will deter most thieves.

You will see that it is not currently available but the page will lead you to lots that are that operate in a similar manner with a different number of cameras, size of storage disc etc.

The cameras need 5v power - a mains adapter is supplied and are connected wirelessly to the base unit. The base unit can be connected to a TV using a VGA cable and the output can also be viewed on a laptop or smartphone. The output from the cameras is stored on a hard disc inside the base unit, newer records overwriting old ones as the disc fills up; we have a 2TB disc which stores over 3 months' records.

Night vision is very good (it automatically switches to B&W when the light is bad) but don't be tempted to point the camera through a window as the only night pictures you see is the reflection of the LEDs used to enhance the night vision.
