Yeah it is technically 1080p but its over composite, it's an improved form of analogue technology they are using. But it won't get near an IP system sadly.
Maplin sell that type as its easier for people to upgrade an existing system if they have already run Coax.
World of Satellite have a Technomate system, that doesn't look too bad for the money and at least good support from them if needed.
Thanks
Had a look at the Technomate CCTV packages on WoS, and, as you say, they do look interesting, but I would still have several questions nevertheless:
1) The cameras are supplied with 20 m Ethernet PoE cables, but I think I have read that long PoE cable runs can result in very low supply voltages to the cameras, and thus poor/no connections.
2) I would also like see some 3rd party/customer reviews of the system - but currently there do not seem to be any.
3) I would also need a couple of narrower angle outdoor cameras to point down the garden (not just for "range", but also to avoid being accused of spying on the neighbours - especially the ones on the other side to the neighbours who would be fine with a CCTV system that covers their garden) but there seems nothing like that on the WoS site and so a suitable solution would have to be available from another supplier.
4) In my own experience (and also that of others IIRC) Technomate UK "tech support" for their products has a distressing tendency to be both "patchy at best" and typically quite "short-lived" - and so I would be worried about the medium-long term sustainability of such a TM system.
