As the title says really, need a CCTV system with a minimum of 2 cameras, DVR. Needs motion detectors and night vision.

My dads catalytic converter got stolen off of his van at our work unit last night.

So we want to install CCTV to catch the ******* ******!

Thanks :D
 
Are you wanting a Winbows or Linux based system?

If linux I would install Ubuntu, and use something like ZoneMinder.

If you just want 24/7 recording you don't need a high spec system, but once you want to do motion detection, you then start needing some good processing power.

i bought a foscam FI8905W which seems to be the best of the cheap cams.
has motion detection and can send images via mail or ftp.

deadite66 - Can I just ask, do the IR LED's produce any eye visible light? I know they are IR so they shouldn't really but i'm sure i've seen similar things where the LED's can be seen to glow a little at the camera end..

We have got a windows system. The computer just runs normal database applications really.

Will all these 2 and 4 camera setups be alright with a DVR just recording all the time? Linked to say a small TV?
