CCTV positioning

Recommended Posts

Afternoon guys. 

 

Was as after a little bit of help from the all knowing folks of the forum. I'm going to install some Cctv on my house and had a few questions about placement. I'm going to use Hik 4mp ip Cctv cameras and fit a Poe Hik nvr next to my router behind my TV. Would this be ok or can anyone recommend any alternatives. 

Also im having a problem with placement of the cameras. 

 

iv attached a picture to show where I was thinking of putting some of the cameras.  1 is to cover front of house and front door. 2 to view the drive and garage and 3 to cover side of house. 

 

Any my help ,suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply guys.  Point noted on the height. 

 

Does camera number 1 seem like a reasonable height. It's high enough that it can't be reached. 

 

I will think of alternate positions for the other two. Could maybe bring 3 down to match the height of 1 to the right of the porch to cover the drive. 

 

Sixwheeledbeast is there any other brands you recommend. I have access to trade accounts at suppliers so can get most stuff.

I don't want the cameras to be obstructed by the barbed wire or manned watch tower. 

 

Do you know any good moat digging companies???

The fan noise from the Nvr will drive you crazy. You won't notice it at first but overtime it will get to you.

 

i wouldn't put it behind the Tv if I were you mate.

cheers mate. Did not even consider the noise of the fan. Cables run via the spare bedroom so nvr could go in there.

You need cameras high up aswell as low down from what seems to be the Norma , costs more of course 

 

Cameras need cleaning on a regular basis so access to them is very important. Best bet would to be use turret cameras as they do not attract as many spiders/cobwebs as bullets and domes.

 

Pop down to your local Adi branch as they have a decent deal on Hikvision 4Mp turret cameras at the moment.

 

 

Deal expired on 14th

Lol I was. Reading down thinking somewhere hikmission is going to be mentioned

 

But yes cleaning needs consideration, although the most residential either don't clean at all , or use an abrasive cloth on the ceramic and wonder why it's fogged up at night , muppets

The DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A is also a decent price @ £125.99. Check Out the online prices you wont beat that.

yeah, but that's a bit like the fake £1 cover price on the local estate agents magazine, or 'do not use your phone whilst driving' innit?

So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands

IIRC having a "free mag" with price printed on the front is about claiming back tax rather than expecting payment...
