Can anybody recommend any hardwired poe cctv systems with a budget of around £500? I need around 6 cameras all poe powered

I sold a set of 12 Hikvision PoE cameras plus NVR and a few mounts about 6 months ago for about £400 on eBay.

 

Defo look at the used market first.

 

I currently use Dahua for my business which works pretty well but the DMSS app they use for use on phones and tablets is a met meh.

 

For domestic use I have a set of Eufy cameras which are great to keep tabs on the pets and pet sitter when we're away.

Yeah, I had a look on Ebay but a lot of them come from the states so have high postage fees. We have Eufy currently but its getting annoying charging them and they don't record 24/7. We recently had the police come round to ask if we had any footage of somebody's windows getting smashed in the middle of the night (which we didn't as they are motion cameras.

 

We could do with 24/7 especially as they are higher up they don't pick up all the motion we want them to.

 

I had a look at some Reolink ones, are they any good do you know?

I currently have a handful of Reolink RLC-511s and they are okay. Great daytime quality, but during the night anything in motion is just a smear. Their app is also not too bad.

In pursuit of knowledge and mistakes.
