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

      EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26

      Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.

      People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.

      Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home

      You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
