Morning,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a CCTV system with 2x cameras?

Been thinking about CCTV for a few years, recently had a package go missing - I have no way of telling if it was even delivered or if it was nabbed, would have at least had some closure if there was footage.

Ideally looking for a standalone hardwired system without subscription rather than the likes of a ring doorbell.

I'm thinking along the lines of two dome cameras fitted to the soffits, powered over ethernet, connected to a recorder - Not wanting to route/view the footage externally, so would like to run it completely standalone.

Many thanks!

Many thanks for all the feedback - some very useful recommendations / points.

My plan at the moment is to go for a Hikvision setup with a standalone recorder - PoE from the recorder and ill set up a VLAN on my switch to keep the traffic separate, add a second network card to my PC for viewing purposes.
