Sirtoddius Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I don't like Hik, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Hard to tell from the picture but positioning looks ok. Bear in mind the higher you go the less chance you have of getting facial images. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 As above, high isn't usually a good thing for recognition; it's often a typical sign of a DIY domestic setup TBH. 2 1 Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirtoddius Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amps Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cables run via the spare bedroom so nvr could go in there. 1 hour ago, al-yeti said: No need , line a bunch of London rats on leads keep them hungry I keep this on me at all times just in case I encounter any miscreants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernBrad Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 As mentioned, main points for me would be the noise from the NVR's fans and the height of the cameras. Height also for the IR range as I assume they'll be anti vandal domes. The range won't be much good by the time it reaches the floor. A metre or two lower can work wonders.

al-yeti Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 You need cameras high up aswell as low down from what seems to be the Norma , costs more of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Edited February 17, 2017 by MrHappy removed link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
