[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1123218, member: 746"] Wired is more reliable Analogue cameras are much cheaper than IP cameras for the same resolution Over a long distance, LAN cable is much cheaper and better than co-ax. Just fit a BALUN each end The BALUN only needs one pair of a UTP cable, so you can double up on the remaining 4 cables for 12 volt power and still have one pair left over A LAN cable works up to about 120m, but be sure to use solid copper, not cheapo stuff or there are problems, especially with hi-res (4MP and over) cameras (wobbling picture, LEDs not working properly) Dahua DVRs can accept both analogue and IP cameras Be sure to use a Surveillance hard disk, as DVRs write to the disk continually Lastly, choose the area you want movement to activate full motion recording. Avoid moving trees, traffic and bushes The red area is monitored by the camera. The white area is ignored [ATTACH type="full" width="510px"]18120[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
