Hey Guys
Anyone know a good Home Sercurity System to get?
Also how much would I be looking at?
On a side note - Anyone tried the D-Link DCS-932l Network Cameras?

Thanks and look forawrd on the Security from other members
My setup is a 24/7 online desktop computer with a $240 Dahua IPC-HDB3200C 2MP HD 1080p 30fps Security Camera (amazon) at the front and a kogan $50 camera at the side. I'm using i-Spy software to manage and do motion recording with them.
There really aren't many other solutions that work well without connecting to a computer.
Almost all the cheaper cameras are going to be useless for identifying a person that is unknown to you and police. This includes d-link etc.
You can use the footage from d-link, kogan etc to:
Use as evidence that something happened
Identify someone that you or the police already know about.
Find out if someone is looking around your house in preparation for a break in.I have a Foscam 9181 I think it is but was just wondering if the D-Link would be better as they are $58 atm
On the Alarm side. Was looking at a Wired Bosch System with 8 Sensors and 2 Keypads but was quoted way over $1k
Now thinking about a Wireless Bosch System, would it be cheaper and work just as good?
hi, how do you like this one?
Wireless Network WIFI IP Camera Outdoor Waterproof Security Night visual IP 602W
http://www.budgetgadgets.com/wireless-network-wifi-camera-ou…- MJPEG is poor quality/performance.
- Built in wireless will generally degrade fps a lot.
- Picture quality is quite poor anyway so don't expect too much.
It is an outdoor waterproof camera, besides that I wouldn't think its any better then then Kogan $50 camera. (My Kogan camera is outside but under cover)
Edit: And I just realised I put effort into responding to a rep…
Only if you want an old analogue system that is low quality, expensive to maintain and offers little features.
These are useful as a deterrent and to see if something has been at your house.
A computer + IP Cameras is the way to go these days.
Thanking you mate
I was checking out the DCS-932L the other day - most of the reviews for it say it's pretty average/crap and that there are better cameras out there. From a quick glance at Whirlpool, people seem to recommend the Foscam's as a budget camera.
Keen to hear what others have to say, I'm looking for a security setup myself.
