Home cctv system wanted witch one?

[Leecampbell]

Hi
I'm looking for a cctv system for my home. I want
4 cameras
it to record on a hard drive
To be able to view it from my iphone
Have night vision
And to have good quality cameras what can see number plates
I was looking at a swann one for £250 on ebay what looked good but some reviews says you can't see faces or number plates. (So you just get to watch them not catch them) could anyone give me some advise please as I no nothing about cctv
Many thanks
Lee

I'm sure some of the guy's on here who install them day in and day out will be along soon to offer some advice.

I have only installed a couple of systems, both have been Hikvision DVR's and Qvis cameras. Both systems working well. but I'm sure you will get plenty of some helpful advice

Definitely steer clear of Swann cameras. My two are going on EBay, there is always some mug out there!

That said I was mug enough to buy them from Maplins!!

I have just got two Qvis 700tvl dome camera, first impressions are very good. Only £36 each.

The swans were replaced by two 700tvl domes from cctvdirect.co.uk at £59 each plus vat plus cable and psu. These are a lot better than the swann carp.

The qvis cameras now give me a 4 camera system.

The swann dvr has been fine, no problems at all with it, and I have had it since last August
