Hi all
So.. yes, pretty much surveillance virgin here.. So am hoping for some help choosing the correct solution.
I want a camera for our driveway... the driveway from mountpoint to road is about 4 meters and beyond that it's a road leading away from us (house is on the corner of an L road)
I would like to include "some" of the road.. meaning I don't mind if I can see what goes on up the road.
I've been looking at Hikvision 2355 but here in Denmark the price is approx: €280, £250, $330 which is a bit steep.
I was looking at some of the links for aliexpress but those will be guaranteed to be stopped in customs and a good deal of money added to the price.
Then I looked at UK based sellers on Ebay like this:
Hikvision DS-2CD2355FWD-I 5MP 2.8mm Netzwerk PoE Turret Kamera H.265 IR 30m IP67 | eBay
but I see some discussions here regarding th etrustworthyness of resellers & the cameras themselves being Chinese models..
So I am in a bit of a bind...
Also I am looking to install one in the garden but this is only for the kids.. meaning I can check the camera to see what the kids are doing in the playground/trampoline.. so just something extra to see if everything is ok.. on this sound would be nice..
Can someone guide me regarding:
1. selection of camera (perhaps it's something completely different I need? )
2. using resellers on ebay
