For a great client of ours over in Hempstead, Gillingham, we fitted this CCTV system with all cables hidden! This was possibly installed back in 2019, when analogue DVR systems were just starting to be overtaken by their digital NVR counterparts.
This system had some good features, though -
All cables hidden
All cameras ran at 5MP
All cameras were IP rated for the outdoors
The DVR hard drive storage was 2TB - enough for around 2 months of recordings for all cameras at this resolution
the cameras themselves were a decent looking bullet type
Cameras were positioned at strategic positions to overlook access points and most angles were able to cross, eliminating most dead spots
This client did, however, neglect this system a little bit! And not being the best with IT and technology, did end up with a poorly system that wasn't showing on the screen nor recording for quite some time. We had the pleasure of being invited back to take a look and assist, to see if the current recorder was still salvageable, and it certainly was! With a bit of trouble shooting and re-setting up, we had them back online in a coupe of hours back in 2023.
