Hey guys,
my cousins house was broken into for the 3rd time and they're now looking at getting cctv. They want a system with preferably(dont have to be wireless) wireless cameras that are really good quality, price doesnt really matter if the systems great.
Any recommendations?
Thanks :)

Yeah I agree with you. How's the hikvision? Heard some good stuff about them but havnt read too much on them yet
Pros:
Pretty easy to set up
Relatively inexpensive
Excellent day pictureCons:
Software is a bit clunky
Night picture could be betterThis is what I have:
1x hikvision ds-2cd2432f-iw (indoor camera)
2x hikvision ds-2cd3332-i (outdoor camera)
HIKVISION 16ch NVR DS-7816NI-E2/8P (with 2tb hdd)From memory the whole lot cost about $1000.
I set up a hikvision at my mothers and also used 2 ds-2cd3332 cameras . They have been out in full weather for about a year without a single problem . I bought them from Aliexpress . I only have an 8 port Hikvision NVR and the cost was about $1000 . I think prices have gone up since though due to the Australian dollar . You can buy dedicated surveillance hard drives ., I just used an old desktop drive I had lying around .
You supposedly need to pay a licensed cabler to run the network cable but so long as you don't run it down conduit with electrical you should be right .
Software is a bit clunky but overall it works quite well . I've set it up so my mother can view via her TV , phone or laptop . I can even take a look remotely from my phone and it's reasonably easy to set up .
I use an AVTECH system and am very happy with it. I have 12TB (12,000GB) storage on the NVR and it records for over a month 24x7 in full high def. Night vision is excellent.
Records at 1080p 30FPS, Full IP.
I'm using 3x AVM542B Dome
2x AVM459B 2MP bullet
1x AVN420 Mini-domeNetgear 16p POE switch and AVH516 NVR
That looks pretty decent. What the cost on a setup like that?
All up for NVR, WD Purple HDD's, Cameras and POE Switch it was between 2.5k-3k.
Thanks. Not too bad for a decent setup.
Gee crazy setup! Did you purchase It online?
I don't believe a wireless system can ever be as good as a POE system. I installed a Hikvision Dvr and cameras. Networkcameracritic.com is a good source of what good although they are a little hardcore.
