Anyone know about CCTV
If I buy swann cctv I can get a complete package, cameras and Digital recorder. They don't do a repair service if the recorder goes wrong!
what other makes should be considered? macafee2 |

I have a Yale system. Bought it as a Yale factory refurb. Seems ok but they do quite a few systems. Camera take a real hammering where I live and never had any problems, System been in a year. To be honest if it packed in and I couldnt sort it myself I would just replace the recorder.

I think most of the systems have a hard drive, my one did and it was easy to replace when it packed in

Is the software kept on the hard drive or in the systems electronics? Is replacing a hard drive just swooping one for the other and off you go?
I know nothing about formatting or how I'd install the software if needed onto a new hard drive. Google is normally my friend but this time when it comes to CCTV info it has let me down macafee2 |

Mine would certainly be an easy hard drive swap. I would imagine that would be the same for a lot of them, the operating system being held in firmware.
