That is an extremely expensive way of doing it.

You can get a proper DVR with 250GB built in HD for about the same as
the price of your first link.

And you can get decent all-weather cameras with 1/3 inch CCD for about
£80 - even the £99 one in your link only has 1/4 inch.

It wasn't meant to be cheap, it was meant to be EASY for a complete
newbie (as the OP is).
She can walk into Maplin, get some further advice and walk out with the
goods and return them if they don't work.

Fair enough.



DVR are not for newbies and have less features (like remote viewing)
which are far more important than price.


Mine has remote viewing. So do plenty of others.

My kit was actually more expensive altogether than your quotes too,
but has 4 *good* cameras.

I can't now actually find DVR's as cheap as they were a few months
ago. I was checking then when the power supply packed in on mine
(before I knew what the problem was, and thought I might need to
replace it), and found ones slightly better for under £100, while now
they seem to be about £130 for similar.
