hi
hoping if i give you guys some requirements i can get some steer. after recent burglaries in neighboring houses i need to put in a system for deterrence and piece of mind. the local method appears to be (as we are a quiet area with plenty of non-overlooked gardens) is destroy largest rear window using any available large/hard objects, steal light valuables , keys and cars... hence increasing the level of locking , detecting door openings etc is not going to help. I have no system at present.
CCTV - At least 4 , most likely 6 external cameras (detached house, detached garage, 2 entrance and 2 patio doors). I think my requirements are:
Alarm
any recommendations appreciated

CCTV - At least 4 , most likely 6 external cameras (detached house, detached garage, 2 entrance and 2 patio doors). I think my requirements are:
- 1080pHD or better cameras. Variety of camera options including antivandal-dome, as need to put at least one under a ground floor porch soffit. PoE IP based so I can use cat 5 cabling. Ideally with a local SD card storage backup.
- NVR that I can put in a suitable place , this is constrained by the need to run the PoE camera cabling back to it. Probably in a loft space, I will not want to put it in the study. Also putting in an obscure location to help with the risk of miscreants nicking the DVR.
- NVR fully accessible over local network for all configuration and management. Not depending on local hdmi and mouse connection (due to point above)
- Push method notification (movement detection ->recording -> email) tunable per camera (would only set that on the ones round the sides and back as the front would have too much )
- remotely accessible for viewing over internet using an app or browser. But must NOT rely on exposing a web server or any ports on the home network - must use a secure client-server architecture. I am very concerned about all the recent issues of cameras being remotely accessible and used for mirai botnets (so this is an absolute nono. quite prepared to pay more for a brand that does the IT security of the system itself properly.
Alarm
- wireless control links from panel to all components as do not want to run internal wiring.
- dual path panel - Internet app (wifi) and GPRS/SMS to set/unset/partial set.
- secure client server architecture for app
- wired power to external sounder (don't want to climb roof level external ladder just to change battery!)
- PIR per room.
- No internal cams (I have privacy issue with that)
- Glass break / shock on 2x rear patio doors?
any recommendations appreciated
