Hey guys, didn't know where else to post this.

Anyone here familiar with systems that can be installed for homes that have say 4 wireless cameras connected to something that shows them all onto a monitor and can record them all onto a hard drive?

Any suggestions on products or where i can buy good quality products?

Or if you are an expert and have experience installing them i would like to hear from you as well! (Will be getting something for my house very soon).

Cheers!

I bought a couple of the basic wireless Swann units. They're very consumer focused (ie. simple to install and operate). They'd be no good for what you're after though. You can view them from your IOS or Android phone easily using the App. The sucky side is that there is no method to record anything to harddrive and they're pretty much trying to sell you a monthly recurring fee to use their 'cloud-based' motion recording system. You get a free trial for 30 days and as much as it works well - I hate lock-in recurring fees.

Ive installed cctv wireless systems jnto workshops and homes, id definitely say go wired, more reliable, no wireless issues but is more expensive to install...

Basically the more the you pay the better you get. Wired is the way to go, if you look at the high end systems they are all hard wired, in saying that though i have clients with wireless with access from iphone and it works ok...

Also look at the lens on the cameras as some have a wider view than others, so if the camera is mounted like 6m away from target youll need a view to be able to make it cover the most area

try using D-Link products, simple as bat shit to set up and buy like a Synology NAS to do all the recording...

alternatively you could build a PC specifically for recording all the wireless D-Link cameras, just pop in RAID1 with 2x 3TB NAS HDDs and a high effciency PSU and off you go.

I'm currently using a D-Link wireless 932L camera, works a treat.. automatic day/night with sound. I can remote into it from my phone and see/listen to what's going on and my Synology DS-212 NAS records everything

Thanks for the tips mate, definately keen to get wired installed, but in a 2 storey house i hear its going to be uber expensive.

I have thought about that, i have a server running freenas but i need external cameras and if they need power + ethernet, its pretty much the same thing to get installed lol.

Thanks guys, still looking but :D

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
