We have a HILOOK NVR on our offices which is now operating great.
Using iVMS on various laptops to monitor from home and while in the office (reception have a monitor via HDMI) which makes things a lot easier.
We were using PRO CONTROL Plus for controlling both our cctv and our pyronix euro 76 alarm...
We found that the pro control plus was quite clunky and kept dropping connections to our alarm and would not always allow us to set / arm the alarm remotely via the app on iPhones.
So we are now using Hik Connect iPhone app for the cctv and Home Control 2.0 for our alarm...
So far all going great.
We have a spare channel on our cctv NVR and was considering installing a wifi/ip camera which is ONVIF compliant as we have an area at the rear of our premises which has 240v via a flood light and fantastic wifi coverage but we are unable to install ethernet cables as it passes across another premises land ( long story and I won't bore you with the legal issues we are facing ).
However, I'm not sure as to what would be the most suitable type of camera?
We don't want to spend a fortune in case it gets stolen as its quite a remote spot near to a public footpath where we have some storage units and we suffer from petty vandalism.
So, a cheap cctv camera would be ideal - Ali express / eBay so many and not sure which?
