A bit over 3 years ago I queried CCTV for a small system :
This was driven by a spate of unknown intrusions into my garden. I never did get around to doing anything about it as it seemed to have stopped when COVID came along and we were all working from home.
The good lady has talked of a Ring doorbell or similar so she can see who is at the front door. This got me thinking again about full CCTV.
Hikvision from my usual go-to place no longer seems available - I think the cheaper HiLook is available though.
The only change to my orignal though was to use PoE instead of PoC and be able to access via smartphone
I have seen ANNKE and the video image looks OK. Any newer recommendations based on the need for PoE?
One main question would be the NVR connection to the internet ... do I need hardwire to the routr or can it be done by WIFI?
