I am trying to choose a home security CCTV solution and would welcome some input as to the best option.
There will be up to 8 outdoor cameras in locations which have up to 30m of conduit running to them, and no local power supply.
I would like PTZ capability and the ability to integrate live video with touchscreens (maybe through CQC) and Android clients. Also a nice to have would be the ability to trigger recording based on zone inputs.
The three possible solutions I am debating are:
1. IP PoE cameras such as Foscam
2. IP DVR using cheap analogue cameras
3. IP network encoder - e.g. http://www.onlinesecurityproducts.co.uk/ip-encoders/samsung-spe-400-quad-encoder.html
What would people generally recommend? - I don't have a huge budget for 8 axis cameras...
