2x Storage Options Indoor CCTV Camera
2x Storage Options Outdoor CCTV Camera

Motion Detection
The Storage Options CCTV system has built in, sophisticated software that can detect movement. If your camera spots movement it can trigger an event to record this to your hard drive, giving you peace of mind that your home or office is constantly being monitored & protected. Most users however will set it to record continuously, this feature is mostly used to save disk space as well as only record when movement is detected.

Flexibility…
The Storage Options CCTV Camera range is designed to appeal as many different customers as possible, with options for different capacity hard drives & types of camera available you can expand your surveillance or change the type of application (e.g indoor to outdoor) just by replacing or adding cameras.

e.g. – Customer purchases a 2 outdoor camera bundle for watching the drive & front door, he then decides he would like to watch the rear garden & also his home office…. No problem, just buy one indoor , one outdoor camera & connect using the provided cables – Instant upgrade!

Simple User Interface
The User interface was designed with simplicity at its core, although it has many advanced functions. We wanted to ensure it was easy to set-up and get started, but also provides all the advanced features you could ever want should you need them. (e.g. Motion detection or privacy masking.)

Pentaplex
The Storage Options CCTV System is capable of performing multiple tasks at the same time, it can record, playback, live-view, back-up & network all simultaneously!! (Pentaplex) This ensures your property is still being protected regardless of what you are doing to the system, a great feature and one that ensures you never miss a thing.

Recording Time
The length of recording time is determined by 2 key factors, the size of the hard disk & number of cameras being used. Up to 400 days recording is possible. The device is smart too, it will alarm when the disk is full too. (this can then be re-formatted or removed for archive and a new drive fitted)

Time & Date Stamped Recordings
Time & Date stamped recordings show you exactly when an event occurred, a feature needed should the recordings be used in any criminal investigations. Recordings are stored in date order too so it makes searching for the footage you need even easier. The recordings are grouped into manageable sized chunks for easier copying or backing up

Back-up Facility
We recognise that at some point you will need quick access to footage stored on your DVR, and so to make it easier, we have included a handy USB port so you can plug in a USB Flash or Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and copy footage across to these devices – whether its just a short clip or a full back-up of your system should you wish to archive.

It’s as easy as selecting the Date range (from & to) and which cameras (one or even all)

Network
Although this is an analogue CCTV solution, it has a killer feature in that it is network enabled. This feature means that if you connect it to your network you can view your system live from anywhere in the world on any internet connected PC, no need to install software. (Viewed through the web browser)

Alternatively there are apps available for iPhone & Android for remote viewing also. You are never more than click away from viewing your home or business.

oooooh goodie, one of the main reason i bought a house was so i could stick cctv all over it :P

No doubt you will be the same person on here moaning about how your car was stole of the drive and you wish you had some CCTV to either get a mugshot or a car reg.

I have always been after some CCTV for the house, might give these a try after I read some reviews.
 
and you wish you had some CCTV to either get a mugshot or a car reg

i said i am buying cctv for the new house, i think youve got the wrong end of the stick.

i put up a 4 camera system on my sister's place too with led IRs. she is in the middle of the countryside (ie horizon to horizon is fields and grass, no lighting at all) so its very dark but all the cameras see very well even in the pitch black
 
Are the cameras in these bundles proper CCD adjustable lenses? or the usual thumbnail size cmos fixed focus ebay guff?
 
The chip and lens have relation, you could have a fixed focus lens on a CCD chip, and a vari-focal lens on a crappy cmos chip.

I'd guess that these are fitted with the usual 3.6mm fixed lens, being IR I would also guess that it uses a CCD chip, albeit low resolution.
 
But if the thing is running IR, it's going to want acceptable night viewing, which those crabby little fixed lenses won't give you as they don't adjust.

CMOS with a great lens will be so-so at night.
CCD with a crap lens will be crap at night.

Don't get how you guess that they'll be CCD because they're IR, if a camera has a CCD, it makes it part of the item info, if a camera has a CMOS, they tend to the details out ;)

Oops :p Sounded like you were taking the ****

Most medium end cameras with IR use little board lenses and work really well, and the reason I guessed CCD is that I've only ever seen one CMOS IR camera, and that was utter utter poo. As they don't even mention a recording resolution or framerate I doubt they're gonna tell you what chip they're using.

And, ahah, I am correct -

Image Sensor 1/4” Sony Super HAD CCD
Effective Pixels PAL: 500(H) × 582(V) NTSC: 510(H) × 492(V)
Signal System PAL/NTSC
Horizontal Resolution 420 TV Lines
Lens 6mm Standard
Minimum Illumination 0 Lux (IR on)
Video Output 1.0V p-p 75Ω (BNC)
Power Requirement DC12V / 140mA, 300mA (IR on)
Weatherproof Meets IP65 Standard

The dome camera is actually slightly better using a 1/3" CCD, it's fitted with a crappy 3.6mm lens.


I suppose for the price it isn't that bad, the external cameras are split glass, but still crap imo.
 
a lot of that is to to with cameras not being split-glass, where the lens is just pushed up against the front glass with a rubber bung, rather than on split-glass where the glass in the centre for the lens is split from the rest of the glass with a plastic ring. This cuts out internal reflection, and also stops the IR light from travelling side-ways along the glass and getting into the lens. That's what it looks like has happened on those pictures anyway.

For spiders, get some spiderex, it lasts for 8 months.
 
Spiderex? Cheers, i'd got bored of the "rag on a broomstick" :)

Had a look at the manufacturers page (google!) and the cameras are all 1/4" ?

Can't tell if these are split glass or stick on stuff, split glass would help a lot, but i don't rate the image quality going by their sample.
 
The internal cameras (dome) is -

SpecificationsImage Sensor 1/3” Sony Super HAD CCD
Effective Pixels PAL: 500(H) x 582(V), NTSC: 510(H) x 492(V)
Signal System PAL/NTSC
Horizontal Resolution 420 TV Lines
Lens 3.6mm standard
Minimum Illumination 0Lux (IR on)
Video Output 1.0V p~p 75Ω (BNC)
Power Requirement DC12V

The external ones look split-glass, the internal ones aren't (you can't to it on a dome).

To be honest, you need to be spending at least £100 per camera and £500 on a DVR to get anything decent, and even then at night at a distance you simply wont get a good facial image as PAL resolution just isn't high enough.

Megapixel CCTV is where it's at.
