CCTV System

Hi, I've been asked to look for a CCTV system but I haven't a clue what's good out there, where to look, etc.. It will be installed on property abroad so we need to be able to view the live feed from here in Ireland, via the Internet I suppose ? We would prefer at least 8 cameras. I've had a look on amazon and found this:…

Hi,

I've been asked to look for a CCTV system but I haven't a clue what's good out there, where to look, etc..

It will be installed on property abroad so we need to be able to view the live feed from here in Ireland, via the Internet I suppose ? We would prefer at least 8 cameras.

I've had a look on amazon and found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Surveillance-Camera-System-Security-Cameras/dp/B00CJRU0G6/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1382033025&sr=8-11&keywords=Zmodo+CCTV

Is that a good make ? Any other sites to look at ?

Any input would be appreciated

Its a massive market. Try EyeSpy CCTV.
Ask for ken in there there are very helpful & very reasonable.

Hi jamescd.
To view your foreign property remotely from Ireland or indeed anywhere; you will need good INTERNET access.
So you will need Internet Access in the foreign property and in the location you are viewing from [ say your home in Ireland or on your mobile phone ]. Rather than spend a fortune on cameras/systems you could buy a moderately priced camera -- It is called an IP Camera.....very different to CCTVor Webcams.
If it were me I would try a Y-CAM model. I have one and it is fine. say about Stg£ 200. Some of this company [Y CAM 's] products have Infra Red capability so you can view at NIGHT. If that works out ok for you then think about a few more Y CAMs and a Synology Disk station to record the footage from these cameras.
If you have a look at, networkwebcam.com site they sell all the stuff you need. Note they stock lots of IP Cameras. THATs what you need -- an IP Camera.
I was in Madrid recently and could view my Dads house in Ireland from there no problem. Hope this helps.
