Hi everyone.
I’m new here so a big Thankyou in advance to all those that can help.

I’m looking at buying and installing a cctv system and planning on going Poe to cut down on amount of cables.
I’ve been looking at the Hikvision 8MP cameras and a 4 channel NVR.

A few questions....

- I want to point the cameras specifically towards doors and back gates, etc.
Am I better going with a bullet style camera than the dome ones which I assume often being a lot higher up would cover too large an area?

- Do I need 8MP or would 5 be good enough? I’m wondering how this would stream to my phone even with a sub stream as I’m on a typical standard broadband connection.

Thanks for your help.
 
Streaming to your mobile won't be 8mp but enough to see whats going on

Have you looked at Turret Cameras they are often the better option
 
Hi Volts. Thanks for your reply. I haven’t looked at turret cameras but will check them out.
