Hi From UK - Advice on first home CCTV

[ministrymason]

Hi,

I am looking for some advice on my first home CCTV. Can you recommended a camera? I want 1080p. Activity alerts. Remote access. Do I need a DVR? I already have a HP Microserver which I use as my media center. Could it also record my footage instead of a DVR

Appreciate your help. Thanks
