Re: Wireless PIR CCTV for PC recording

It's gone back. The camera mount ball-joint was so loose a gust of wind would move it, the picture quality was just about bearable in sunlight, non-existent in darkness unless positioned immediately below a 500 watt PIR searchlight, also there was a constant buzz when it was on and I didn't fancy leaving the PC on all night. Apart from that, perfect! Oh, and I was expecting a battery operated camera so I couldn't put it where I wanted to, instead had to put it 5 metres from the receiver with the cable through an open window.

Other may have a bit more patience and got some pleasure out of it but I thought for the money it was a pile of poo. No doubt if you are willing to pay the money you can get some very decent systems but I don't think I'll be going down that route.
