Hey everyone.
I've just acquired a new business and will be doing the cctv setup shortly. I'm a developer myself and I would say not a novice when it comes to setting up the software side of things for cctv systems and remote viewing (port forwarding, ddns etc) however I'm absolutely clueless on the hardware side.
I've previously setup a cctv dvr for a friend of mine and it was a cheap addonics system from Maplins (I didn't know better). The software side was fine but the remote viewing experience was terrible, there wasn't really any decent software out there and the web browser viewing was only through internet explorer (where you have to turn off the active x security because it uses unsigned active x controls).
I don't want to do the same this time, I need the system to have really good remote viewing capability. The connection on the business is going to have around 2-3mb/s of upload which isn't half bad.
I've been looking at maplins again and looked at their swann range but after reading reviews for the last hour or so I've found that their remote viewing is really bad.
Could someone please point me in the right direction of the kit I want to be going for?
Other little details : Needs to be 8ch, shop currently has 4 cameras, will be adding another 2.
