Hi all

I am kinda thinking of getting a video camera that I want to use for CCTV, but I don't want anything mounted or big setups, ideally a video camera I can move around with me where necessary

doesn't have to be "branded" a good Chinese variants are fine with me, as I want only a cheap one

ideally recording onto an SD card

length of recording, ideally like to put on first thing in the morning and switch off in the evening but I guess that will be dependant on the SD card capacity. but as long as I can record for say 4 hours that be great

thanks

ok, maybe not the length as I think its probably impossible, but if I can use the mains that be good

I am sure there are better solutions, however have you though of using a gopro or similar ?

Depending on settings etc, a 64gb card can provide upto 8 hrs 1080p footage.
You'd likely need a external usb battery bank too. You would however be able to monitor the cam from a different location(within the wifi range)

I know IP cam's etc have the option to only record when movement happens. Maybe an app is avaialbe for action cams etc.

Thanks for that

I did browse rainforest and I did come across some Chinese equivalent GoPro's , one was about £50 had Wi-Fi and its No.1 best seller, so I was thinking perhaps getting that
