Security System

[realbigdreamer]

Hey guys,

I am looking to buy a security system. I want to be able to do the following:

Have +/_ 5 cameras that can be mounted at different points about 10m to 25m from a PC that records the videos. I like the idea of using a PC more than using a TV

I want to know where you guys can recommend me to buy a system like that at the best price. About 3 years ago I bought a POS System and the guys totally ripped me of. Their support was unimaginably bad! So this time I would like to ask here first.

BTW I'm in the Bloemfontein area, but don't mind to buy from somewhere else.

Regards

Have a look at Inhep.

They are the suppliers tho, so you would either have to install it yourself, or ask them to point you in the right direction. My F.I.L. has a cctv system of theirs and he can monitor the camera's from any pc on the network (that has been authorised).

Do it yourself! Get yourself an old-ish P4 box, with some decent ram, and a couple of 1tb Drives, get some ipcams / analogue cams and a dvr card, and install Zoneminder and Bob's your aunty!

I have two zoneminder boxes "linked" together at home, both running on rather old P4 systems, and have an assortment of ip cams, and analogue cams (running on old tv-tuner cards) and I could not be happier!

The entire exercise probably cost me R0 as I used old / donated hardware.
