Quite easy. Pull cables, trunking on wall, if u can't do it. Get contractors to do it.

all DVRs should come with their own CMS (Client Management Software), some are cloud-based which uses cloud solution APP to view your DVR.

Diff DVR diff method of viewing.

I have recently setup 1 DIY DVR at my relative's place, if you are the type that can do trunking, etc and do not mind seeing exposed trunking. You can just buy a DVR DIY Kit at funan challenger. Took me 3/4 day for me to lay trunking and mount the cameras, but took me only about 5 minutes to see the image online after I turn on the DVR.

DVR recording at full 960H for 4CH. I bought the outdoor bullet (700TVL 1/3 Sony CCD) camera model. The entire kit cost me $599 less HDD. Comes with cables and power supply

Is ccd or cmos recommended?

Buy any brand as long as they use sony lens is good right?

Hope you can share more tips on the specs of a good camera as well as a lousy one.

Theres playback function also on CMS. These r fundamental stuffs. The mobile app allows me to playback also.

My relative uses both web login to view their cameras. Which i saw have configuration n you can reboot the box from remote

Tech support wise, I m confident of marix

CCTV can be wireless so laying cable is not necessary. But I would like to know the pros & cons of having it.
