Spec me a CCTV System

Cheers mate, I "upgraded" to a 6TB WD purple which bloody died so looking for something different. Will check those out.

Edit: Put the 6TB Purple in my Microserver to see if it was dead but is working although running CrystaldiscInfo it shows as caution, so on its way out!

Consider helium based drives, the MTBF numbers are much, much better than standard units, to the extent you can buy used and have better MTBF levels than a new non helium drive, I usually go for 10TB Hitachi/WD units as that seems to be the sweet spot, though 12TB's have become more attractive in recent months.

Can anyone recommend 2x POE cameras for around £50 each? My mum's cameras keep resetting themselves and I realised they are probably 10 years old at this point. They are hikvision bullet cameras that I bought on AliExpress, they have been great all things considered but time to buy a new pair which I can update with the latest firmware etc.

£75 for the pair - 5MP, decent night vision.

 
I have just installed a 4m lamp post on my road for a couple of cameras I was going to put in 2 x G6 bullets, the road is quite long and im getting more and more tempted to just get a PTZ
