I am confused,  Add says 2 channel, pic shows a 4 channel card.

No pics of the camera's, are they going to be the pinhole 9v hide in a match box.?

Is the software genuine and needs to be registered.

I also use that software (which comes with the same dvr card).. it uses H264 codec and compression is great.. with 500 gb disk I can keep more than 2 months of 24 hr data on 4 cameras..

however the quality of these cameras for night vsion dramatically changes from model to model.. and some models have zooming ability..

so if you want a good system it depends on the budget.. also add the price of 24*7 working pc system (at least must have a 2 thread cpu) with a big disk, silent fan and at least a 2.5 KW UPS..

I also must note that depending on the position sometimes wide angle cameras are better but the objects become smaller with them..So you need some trial on the position and methods..(I'm trying at least for 4 years and changed the models many times)

No offence, but Maplin sell (and I quote our local Maplin manager) "cheap, chinese shit" (and he's right, it is).

You really need branded, quality cameras if you want the end result to be useful.  Obviously, the quality of the recording device is also key.


Unless you pay very big money, PC based ones are, err, amateur.

The cheap chinese shit in Maplin is already sold for at least 3 times what it's really worth.

Depends if you need to show to authorities - certainly around here, it needs to be decent stuff
