We already have @naxxfish who has volunteered to be part of @systems and the @directors just need to meet with Jonathan about this, they and he all have busy schedules, so it’s been tricky.
Currently there are three cameras, but the network cables to two of them have failed or are intermittent because they were only done with temporary wiring, and the indoor camera was unplugged during some work and never reconnected.
I don’t think the existing cameras are no good, but they were bought on a tight budget, they cost £30 each including delivery as I recall. The NVR is similarly low cost and the concequence is lack of back up battery for the clock, and a unfriendly user interface.
The suggestion I made was to have a look at a range of options, but that the reality is that good systems cost money, Unifi make a really good NVR software you can run on your own computer if you don’t want to pay for their NVR hardware, but you have to use it with their cameras, which are more expensive than el’cheapo ones with similar specifications.
The work involved needs someone to run new outdoor grade network cable from the switch above the toilet to the two outdoor cameras and fix those cables properly to the walls to make them more durable.
