My friend who was going to go wireless decided to put some CAT5 outdoor cable in today from the front to the back of his house so I said I'd help him do the rest.

He's after a 4 camera DVR + HD POE but he only requires 2 decent cameras. I've only used Hikvision when I've installed my own but they seem awful pricey these days.

Can anyone recommend a tried & tested POE system ?. I see there's cheaper setups on eBay but I'm not sure if their sh*t or not.

Any links would be brilliant
 
Perhaps a Hikvision OEM manufacturer might be cheaper for similar specs?

A brand like ANNKE comes to mind.

A search on google for 'OEM Hikvision brands' will provide more alternatives.

I looked at the ANNKE their all over eBay but I've not a clue if their any good. Plus, Hikvision, it's unbelievable the amount of fake Chinese cameras there are. Infact I actually got done myself last year buying a bullet camera boxed new. Within a month water had got inside the lense screwed it. Further checks by opening it confirmed it was a fake.

I just wondered if anyone on Techkings got a tried and tested alternative set up that's reasonably priced.
 
I picked up and installed the above using a code I had on eBay. The only real snag I has was, my RJ45 tool ?, its knackered and the blade for the push and cut for the pass through connector is just basically had it's day. I replaced the blade but it cuts at a stupid angle. I must have put 12 heads on the cables before they tested fine. I was doubting myself thinking cable must be screwed.

I'll have to buy a new RJ45 tool crimper for pass through so if anyone knows/used a decent cheaper one pref with connectors and boots drop me the link please. When I say cheap decent I say this because I'm not an engineer come installer so I just cant justify paying out £50-£60 for a pro job when it will get used once a year but I'm re doing my own soon with POE so.. My systems old Hikvision 2 cable job and the camera's are utter w@nk compared to this POE I just put in
