Analogue HD or IP?

Analogue HD systems are cheaper and fine for a typical compound. IP cameras give clearer images, easier phone viewing and more features, but cost more and need a decent network. For most homes, four well-placed analogue HD cameras covering the gate, doors and parking are a sensible start.

What changes the price

Camera count and resolution. More cameras and higher resolution need more storage.
Cable runs. Long runs around a compound or through ceilings take more time and cable.
Storage. Ask how many days of recording the hard drive keeps.
Power. A small UPS keeps cameras recording during outages; budget for it.

Ask before you buy

Will I be able to view the cameras on my phone, and who sets that up?
Which brand and model are the cameras and recorder, and what warranty applies?
Will the installer change the default passwords and show me how to change them again?
