    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    I've turned on WDR and set it to 20. Seems to be helping, the quality seems to vary depending on where the person is. I also turned the noise reduction down, but I'm not sure if this is too much noise now though? It sounds like the main problem is a lack of lighting as I only have one light set...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    Sorry some of those options don't exist as I've not been able to order the camera yet, I was waiting for a response on here but not heard anything. The camera I've set up is the hikvision camera, and I don't think it has IR. I can adjust the shutter speed but I need to work out whether it...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    I've cropped out a lot of the picture as the camera is hidden so I don't want to give too much away as to where it is positioned for obvious reasons.

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    Thanks, I've got the first camera set up but the lighting causing an issue, the camera looks in the direction of the light which causes a bloom of light on the camera, is there a way to fix this? Also, which type of lighting works best with cctv? And lastly I really want a tracker installed and...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    I've gone full circle and came back to one of the cameras I believe you mentioned earlier: https://www.amazon.co.uk/DAHUA-network-camera-STARLIGHT-IPC-HFW5241E-Z12E/dp/B089SR3Y8M It is not as big as the Hikvision bullet equivalent so I think it is worth seeing how visible it is when I set it...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    My plot is tiny, I can just about get 2 small cars on it and open the doors, and my house is a low height for a two storey house as it was originally only one storey, which is why I feel the 4mm lens is way too wide. I've spent a while looking around and found the following...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    Thanks for the information you are providing, it is definitely worth posting as I've been reading your comments and I'm learning a lot. it sounds like the Hikvision camera I have is totally the wrong camera if I want to use it at night, it feels like it the Hikvision advertising is misleading...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    The camera caught the person who kept beeping, as that was what I got the camera for, and the beeping has since stopped, so I wasn't really bothered about the camera anymore, it was just pot luck I guess that I was too lazy to disconnect it. In terms of the theft, since it happened I've seen so...

    Covert install to protect domestic property, looking for hardware recommendations

    Someone made off with my £40k campervan recently, and so I'm here to see what I can do to prevent the same thing happening again. I already have a HIKVISION DS-2CD2387G2-LU(4MM) and it did capture the theft, however the light is very low where I live so what it captured was somewhat pointless...
