Home CCTV starter kit

Sep 21, 2007 1 Replies

Would like to get a very basic daylight B&W CCTV starter kit for home use, mainly to monitor and record visits from various dodgy door-step salesmen and conmen.



I've seen simple ones at Argos, etc. Anybody used these?



One problem, my TV only has a single scart socket, which is already wired up to my DigiBox via my VCR in a sort of daisychain throughput arrangement, so there's no spare socket to connect and more scart cables. Also my TV is old and doesn't have any composite AV input sockets. I suppose the only option is to get a cheap LCD TV/monitor with either scart/compositeAV input.



Recommendations please?


Your local DIY superstore should sell a 4way scart adaptor which may help .(make sure its the one for biderectional use) You may have to retune your vcr to a different frequency to avoid crosstalk . Or as you say buy a cheep tv (asda tesco etc have then around £60)
