[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1044998, member: 176704"] 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.
