problem with this brand they've recently made their units only work with their own cameras if you want to replace/extend the system; can't be certain if that's the case with this one but for something which you want in place for a while but may need to replace due to damage etc. (as I've done with one camera in my setup), that's something you don't need really.

on the link the op has supplied, it is standard BNC connectors so any camera with a phono plug and a BNC adaptor will work.
I have an older one and use a car reverse camera from eBay as a door peephole viewer.
edit. didn't even notice you get monitor with this and voted it hot.

They are standard BNC, I've bought it and works a treat (at least with my simple in house test - next weekend I'll set it up outside)

Looks reasonable. If you have a search on YouTube you can see comparison videos based upon the 640TVL cameras

I wouldnt bother the camera quality is very poor so no point wasting your money best spend on a decent 1080p setup !

Can you explain? The cameras give decent quality, enough to be able to see who's on your property.

960H. Nahh thanks

The 960H refers to the hours of recording. The cameras are 640TVL and it says picture quality can be 1080p

I was going to ask, isn't the resolution/picture quality determined by the camera(s)? So if you needed one area to be monitored in particularly high definition you could buy an appropriate camera just for that area?

The cameras aren't worth it. Should something happen and you need to give evidence to police/court. The resolution once blown up is horrendous and you won't identify anyone.
