Thanks for the comment, the camera we reviewed here is an IP cameras but the best way to start building your CCTV system is to think about your budget. Cameras can range from £75 up to £250+

@@harrysolutionsltd7254I’m looking at a budget of 2000 pound and thinking of getting 6 cameras and the 8 channel Poe nvr

@@amilek001 thanks for the feedback! I’m still getting my head around premier pro haha

@@engineerfpv thanks for the comment and apologies for the delay in replying. All the TVI models tend to be smaller in size to the equivalent IP cameras. The cameras on the right are TVI and the left are IP cameras. Hope that helps

@@harrysolutionsltd7254 thats just bad ahaha. we stick with IP

Thank you 🙏

I think both the same thing. Just different words

@@nazaman7977 I would recommend IDS-7204HUHI-M1

Thanks for the comment, which model of recorder do you have?

@@harrysolutionsltd7254 This is my dvr model DS-7116HGHI-K1

This is coming up in a video soon.. but for now the main difference is the frames per second. This is how smooth a video is - the higher the FPS the more fluid an object will move through the footage. IP or POE cameras can capture video in much higher FPS than POC or TVI cameras. hope this helps...

Thanks for the comment! You’re right, headlights would probably dazzle a camera at a bad angle but this is the same with most cctv cameras

Cannot see number plates at night with these cameras. Need an anpr hikvision

Thanks for the comment! We’ll soon be getting stuck into POE CCTV

I think you made the right choice! Personally I’d go for the 3k

Thanks for the comment - To enter the 'secret menu' > using a mouse and screen connected to the DVR > find the camera you'd like to adjust through live view > select the PTZ controls from the bottom tool bar > (a panel will open at the side) find 'iris +' and click it once > this will open the menu over the top of the live camera > using the up, down, left and right navigate the menu and adjust settings > to enter a menu use 'iris +' and to go back to the previous menu scroll to 'back' and use 'iris +' again > once you've finished make sure to scroll to 'save and exit' and again use 'iris +' to confirm. Let me know how you get on! We have a couple of DVR's in the shop but the main two are - IDS-7204HUHI-M1/P and IDS‑7204HTHI‑M1/P

​@@harrysolutionsltd7254that's great info. Can I call you re: queries on those cameras or system. You seem to have a very similar set up and you may be able to answer some questions??

Thanks for the comment! Hilook cameras tend to be just as good image quality but with the smart notifications removed. On the IP cameras Hikvision is definitely better build quality but I’ve not seen a hilook TVI camera to comment. I imagine it’s the same plastic as the TVI Hikvision Hope that helps

Its a great question - I think what Sian is trying to explain is the rules on domestic CCTV are governed by the ICO and the data protection act. So essentially you'd have to comply with those rules. Meaning if you caught a neighbour on your CCTV and they requested the footage you would have to provide this and delete (upon request). They can't storm into your property and demand to look at your CCTV and the only routine they can take if you decline is to raise a compliant through the ICO.

We’ll convert the office if you like 😂

Hey! Thanks for comment, which tester do you use?

@@harrysolutionsltd7254I use the Vista Diamond4K. Fairly generic tester, but it will work on HDTVI up to 8MP. Just not these cameras. But why would they make a 5MP camera that is not compatible with older DVRs? I have hotels with 7332s, great recorders and I'm worried this is a sign of more to come.

No tester is currently supporting the 3k cameras. I bought one over few years backs. For the 5mp they are great

That notch on the TR13 is not there on new versions of the TR13.

@@harrysolutionsltd7254 I use a Vista Diamond4K, capable of up to 8MP HDTVI .. but not these cameras. You can't even view at 4MP with them because of the daft forced aspect ratio, out the box they need to be set at 1080p so we get a chance at menu adjustments.

Thanks for the comment - You’re absolutely right, the recorders do restrict the frame rates for these cameras on playback but it wouldn’t be a huge amount different from what the camera can achieve

@@harrysolutionsltd7254 great content on the channel so far, very open and useful info.

Thank you!!

Great video, they are amazing quality, shame that frame rate isn't great, is there an alternative with better frame rate?

@@zororat Hi, thanks for the comment. Hikvision do a whole range of cameras but the POC technology is limited by the recorder. They may in the future bring in better frame rates for these however for now the next next thing will either be a HiLook IP camera or an IP Hikvision system
