maplins do a good kit. it's dvr, 4 cameras, plug and play. not sure if the 4 way PSU is included or £20 extra.
 
Check out wirelsss IP cameras. Fleabay from £35 each and have remote pan/tilt with 2 way audio and remote switching they have auto IR too. I use 2 to monitor my mum's house.
 
Depends on how much you want to spend kits are normaly pants a good dvr are A data realy good and trouble free easy to use but cost about £600 an samsung high res dome camaras £70 a camera av been instaling cctv in glasgow for about 6 years an av had only a few call backs an its been power supplays also with the dvr if you want motion detection u can set it up so bushes an trees dont set it off
 
second the maplins kit, its a decent price and theres usually a branch in most towns so its easy to get spares etc if needed
 
all this really depends on what your customer is willing to spend/ where they plan on putting the camea (there is no point buying 3-6mm lens, when what they want it for is to be able to view to the end of their long garden). At tradexguru, we sell a range of cameras for domestic and professional use. If you are in or around Manchester, you can pop in to see the different camera. Or just le me know and I will make you a kit, so your not driving from place to place buying bits and jobs for the job. Thanks
 
whatever you decide to get, forget Wireless IMO, total pants and complete Cr*p, a waste of money, I have a full system in my home with colour cameras and a 3 month hard drive recorder, all installed for under a grand, you can access it via your Iphone and Ipad from an app, worth doing the job right IMO, forget the wireless rubbish.

How many cameras are you using?
 
I have 4 and they are vandle proof colour cameras, all wired with cat 5 cabling to the hard drive and also have wiring to monitors in the house, the wiring was quite awkward actually as my house is completely decorated and 3 floors high, however myself and 3 other guys managed to do the whole job in 9 hours on one day, I am chuffed to bits with it, I go onto my lappy and can rewind to anytime I want and the clarity is amazing, previous to this I had a wireless system and it was terrible, I couldn't use it and got done twice in 12 months, hence the new system and my opposition to wireless.
 
i have MG-X765RE 1/3'' Sony 637/672AK CCD + Sony Enhanced Effio-E 4127 DSP 960H 650 TVL 12IR Cold Light 75-80m 6-60 mm Varifocal OSD
don't know anything more than that.

What IP cameras are you using?

I'm looking to buy a few and I am looking at either Axis or Lilin.

Outdoor fixed IP cameras - full range from Panasonic, Sony, Axis and more.
 
I bought a load of gear from system q for missus' mums house, its good but the picture is a little fuzzy and you can't really see detail, she's happy with it but i'm not as i was expecting more. System q say its not the cameras its because the information is compressed by the dvr so loses quality, i don't know if all dvr's are like that?
