How handy are you with running wiring etc?
A bog standard 4 channel DVR and a couple of decent resolution cameras should be fine for most household tasks. Just mount the cameras so you catch faced and not hat the tops of heads. As for DVRs I know a certain large Scottish wide security service ;) use Qvis units and they are a doddle to set up and administer. |

I got this for around 20 quid via ebay from China.
Easy to setup, HD video day or night. You might want to go wireless |

Make absolutely certain the camera only records your property, even catching a slight proportion of your neighbours property or the public street could leave you liable for prosecution

That's quite amusing when we get the police around wanting to know if we caught on camera the hooligans in the street :D

CCTV is no different from taking a photo on a public street. There are no laws against this in the UK.

Yeah my understanding is that as long as it's clear you're mostly covering your own property then it's ok. What isn't ok is pointing a camera wholly at your neighbours.

Re: Installation of CCTV
Most CCTV units have masking capabilities in them so anything private is blocked out and not recorded anyway.

My neighbour has one that covers all of his back yard/garden . . . and 2/3 of mine.
Saving me a few bob, quite happy here :D |

The cameras don't even have to be pointing at anybody's house to be effective against crime. They can see others passing by on their way to commit crimes.
In this recent case, it wouldn't even be physically possible to aim any cameras inside the other property. The only thing they might catch is times of any coming and going of people. Is that what the decision was based upon? That theoretically somebody could trawl through any footage and track times of comings and goings of individuals? If somebody wanted to go to all that trouble for some strange reason, they could easily use a smaller camera that wasn't visible. |
