Wireless CCTV System help required...

[Joe S]

I have been to see one of my customers tonight who is having a lot of landscaping work done and would like to have a Wireless CCTV system fitted while I run all the cabling for the lighting. What system are available and are easy to use? I have looked on maplins and the only one they seem to do that is any good is £799. Do the cameras work via batteries as I have read somewhere that they need power to the unit but no connection for the visual??

Any help appreciated

I'll give that a go mate, thanks.

a good wireless will need local power,the wireless bit is the tx/rx at the viewing end,hence no need for coax in between,

That might limit putting a camera up a tree then! He was asking for them on two trees, one a big oak tree and the other a flimsy birch! This may need rethinking. Thanks for the info.

You need to be spending plenty to get a good result. Someone I work for bought a kit of 4 wireless cameras with a reciever. He asked me to set it up. It was absolutely useless, never got a picture where he wanted the cameras installing, only had about a 10 meter range maximum, and then the image quality was very poor.. It also interfered with his wireless router. He ended up asking me to hard wire them all.

My advice, unless your customer is willing to pay alot for a good system, is to get a hard wired set in. At the end of the day, you do need to install power to where ever you install a camera, so you may as well install a coax at the same time.

Is it worth using ct100 for signal quality as there will probably be a point where the cables cross the electric going into the garden?

Sorry to thread step, but I'm putting a system in for a customer next week. Anyone used this one before?

No problem, looks a good system. It could be something I could use as long as it comes in black!
