Paul_ Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm looking at installing a CCTV system from our workshop in to the shop, has anyone fitted one and can recommend it? There are hundreds on the market and don't know whether i need to spend £100 or £500! It doesn't necessarily need to to record as it's main job will be for me to see when customers come in while working.(Will only need on camera as shop is quite small) Regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Muppet Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Probably easier to get yourself a ring doorbell or something similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercoulson Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 If you have WIFI then I fully recommend cameras from Amazon by Reolink, easy to set up, you can put memory cards in them and good quality images plus no wiring apart from power supply. Don't cost a fortune either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exp121260 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I installed one in my shop 5 years ago, it never stopped working. The brand name is Zmodo, standalone camera, powered by wire connection and connected to my shop WiFi. Its live through an App, so can watch the shop live 24/7 from anywhere. Will send notification to my email or through the App ( can set up to send notification during night or day or some hours) It has own cloud storage for unlimited storage ( you have to pay monthly subscription) but I do not need that. Instead, I have put a 64gb memory card ( purchased separately) in to the memory card slot and this way I have storage for up to 3 full days or a week only nights. The above cameras do the same thing and it seems these are better quality than mine . Paul_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have one in my garage, front and back doors and one for the back room also works with an app and like you I have memory cards fitted but it emails movements (you can set times for this like when your shop is closed or it becomes annoying). Quality is excellent. exp121260 and Paul_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Swann for me, because i had a camera pack up & found a spare one online easily to replace it so bits and pieces for them are readily available Paul_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
