I am biting the bullett and im gonna shell out £1500 on the VAK setup but can cope with extra £600 + vat for their snazzy DVD recordable CCTV device , ALTERNATIVES??
So then what is the verdict ??

[A+CleaningService]

I have heard of people using wireless a webcam and a laptop.  Great if you have a laptop already.
Also a camera system for less than £150 from some electronic shop. Cannot remember the name. It maybe even £125. 
The subject was talked about a few weeks ago on here.

Ive got one for sale brand new and sealed box.   I bought it for the gutter vac but it don't record,

its a Sentient wireless colour camera with a 2.4 inch LCD wireless monitor

I bought it a couple of months ago from Maplins for £130 and still have the reciept

will sell for £100  as I say its brand new and unopened with seal still on box

[Rogue Trader]

just been on the maplins web site and it looks like they do do one that can record for £130 ..... ill have a look , how do you attach it to the top of pole and do you use the vac pole or another one for the camera?

[drive surgeon]

good idea, tell us mate how you attach it/  just tape it?

[mark.laycock1@ntlw]

matt3,

is this just the camera ? or vac

[drive surgeon]

lol mark maplins dont sell gutter vax!! he means just the cam.

[stephen s]

I havent tried to attach the canera to the pole as I got the wrong camera hence the reason its still sealed in the box,       but I amagine you can tape it to to the pole at a fixed angle.

Set mine in epoxy resin in the end of a plastic angle adapter. I can screw it on the end of my wf.poles and have it at any angle I want.

does this camera record FTP?

Blimey, that thread just jumped a whole year!

[JSMC]

the minidvr2 kit seems good value and has everything you need i think. Only need to buy extra cable. Maplins would sell this cheape ri reckon but not sure what type of cable you would need. Also it says you need to make sure recorder part on camera doesn't ge twet. You could easily cling film around this.


anyone have this kit?
