Considering purchasing a high definition CCTV camera to look over the front of our house. It will cover the doorstep, driveway and path down the side of the drive. I also want good night vision abilities.

Get the best cameras you can afford, the better the camera the better the quality of the pictures, another thing to consider is App Compatibility, I can view ours from anywhere in the world via a Desktop PC or on the IPad or IPhone via an App. |

Yes, I have read about that and we would definitely look out for that feature. Do you have a link to a website that has the same or similar type to your camera? LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

You may need a static IP address for them though. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto Evoque SD4 Dynamic Lux Auto Present: Audi A3 S Line. |

Getting the right recorder is also important. I got mine from a company called CCTV42 who were very helpful in setting up my IP address. |

You can use a DDNS (Dynamic DNS) provider to get around the static IP as long as your equipment supports it. (I have a BT Home Hub 2, and it does). |

Thanks Craig. If you could send any pics by PM on here, that would be useful. Certainly not rushing into a purchase, must do some digging first. |

I returned a Maplins CCTV system, it was rubbish on outdoor shots. best go to a specialist in CCTV who can give advise on what is most suitable. Just one other thing to watch out for. If it records to DVD should you want to save on that medium (CODEC) then check out what format it uses. The one I had recorded to disc ok but a DVD player would not play it.
