QUOTE(bcombat @ Sep 26 2021, 10:30 AM) I need a better cctv than the current one especially evening recording which can see car plate from a distance. Any recommendation? At this height and this angle, if u want to capture clear moving car car plate, quite difficult. Need fast shutter speed camera, but high shutter mean less light, and darker the image, not suitable for low light environment.

A FullHD Car Plate Capture Camera can only capture plate number if car move less than 30km/h and distance of car from camera around 3 to 6m. Cheapest 1 also need RM2k++

Hi,
I've finished my hse reno with cat6 cable installed for cctv. Now looking for a 8ch system. 5 cctv will be outdoor but not directly exposed eg in porch. Most likely will be mounted on plaster ceiling. Will a bullet cam be too heavy for this ?
For a 8ch nvr, i need to uplink it to my router if i want to access it via hp app. Wouldn't that take up 1 lan port n leave me only 7 for cam ?
Last is any recommendation which brand, model n where to buy it at good price ?

You can buy 8ch NVR with POE so only need 1 Lan cable for the NVR and some bullets are very small & not too heavy so unless your plaster ceiling is extremely thin it should not be an issue.

I have a wired 8 channels dvr for more than 10 years .... no issued since day 1 and the hard disk is still writing. This post has been edited by mini orchard: Oct 21 2021, 12:42 PM

I read back a few posts, still, seem no similar use case. I just want to have 1 CCTV for my front door. maybe a second one in the future. I am looking a wifi CCTV but seems all video will store on a local SD card only. If the thief is smart enough to take my CCTV then defeat my purpose. Any one can give a some recommendations? make sure the cctv have good video quality, most of the time I see a record on the FB or News is like shit,

USD55.99 per month per camera. If you don't want to use Cloud Storage, u can buy wifi recorder and hard disk, footage store locally.

I need to know which CCTV setting will consume more power:
CCTVs + PoE Switch (using D-Link DES-F1006P-E)
or
CCTVs + power adapters
Please ignore installation/PoE/cost advantage/disadvantage argument.
I just want to know which is power efficient in the long run since have to run these device 24/7.

Hi, am considering wired or wireless cctv. How is the performance of wireless cctv if they are placed external, let's say for a 2 storey terrace with build up of around 2600sqft? Basically, 1 at car porch, 1 at backyard, 1 front upstair, 1 back upstair. How is the signal strength?

You can also used your phone to test how is the signal strength where you intend to install this camera. Another option is to used dedicated Wireless NVR with their own paired Wifi ip camera. Eg. from Sopee wifi nvr

If double storey or more run cat6 to every floor link with the designated fiber incoming supply. You won't regret doing this.
