Spec me a security system

[scotty365]

Hi folks,
Im wanting to buy a security system with cameras, recording device, night vision etc.. for my property - Ideally with high definition and say 4-6 cameras.

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of system - looking at around £250. We already have intrusion alarm so this is simply for observation and identification of persons around the outside of the property.

Okay - so after doing more research I can see that I need to spend more for the spec I think I require... So can someone spec me a recording device that I can then add cameras to, the idea being that I can buy 1 or 2 high quality cameras for actual HD footage and then cheaper cameras for movement recongnition and lower resolution where it is not really needed - say for a wide angle shot of the back yard, and high resolution for front door and immediate area. Hopefully I can then build on that system, I just want to get the right recorder to start with, if I said 1080p at 30 fps on 2 channels and the other 2 channels be rated lower.

I never realised how much there is to actually know about these systems so I hope someone can point me the right way forward.

Regards
Scotty
