Hi all

I popped into my local Maplin yesterday and they had some "used" (I assume this to mean returns) alarm kits 60% off. They had the following
- Lorex 1080p says it has 130 foot night range
- Swan Pro series HD 1080p with thermal sensing and true detect
- Swan platinum HD 5mp (2.4 X better than 1080p)

Anyone have any experience of any of these?

Thanks

Lee.

Some friends had a Swan DVR, back then it only supported IE using
ActiveX, worth checking whether or not it's got more open for other
browsers since then ...

Thanks Andy. I also run lynux at home so that might be another challenge.

Those would seem to be security cameras rather than alarms, but I am
sure you could probably find them cheaper from other sources.

Just beware that all those home DVR's are notorious for their
lack of network security, and are commonly used to break in to
home networks, and used to attack other systems on the Internet.
I do have one, but it sits in a DMZ of it's own which has almost
everything except NTP blocked in the firewall.

On my todo list is to get rid of it and replace it with a proper
Linux system with VDR software which I can manage and keep
up-to-date.
