Im looking to install cctv security camera's soon to my house and was hoping someone can advise me of the best place or people to see about this on Samui.

Thx in advance

You can have a look at "Watashi CCTV Security System", dont know where to find on Samui,

but a good TV /Electronic Shop should be able to help.

A selection from their 'Contact Us' Page some of these are a joke surely or Google translates fault :

Contact the sales department.

Can't help with place to buy or install but can say we have watashi installed in the wifes businesses. I'd never heard of the company before buty they came recommended by friends in the business.

I'm impressed with them. The cameras give a nice clear image on the monitors. The only problems over the past year has been spider webs and moths in front of the cameras.

We bought sets listed on the watashi website.

Bee Smart on the side soi opposite Bophut fresh market. Family Mart on the corner.

Down the soi, past the back of the temple, first on the left. (Ingon Accounting next door)

Very good after sales service.

I have also used the TV Guru people next to the temple in Fisherman's Village. Cheaper to install - but not so hot on the follow up.

I thought that the guy who ran kunini (Danny???) had left the island to go to Puket?

Are they still operating?

Thanks for all the help

If you can install yourself, which actually isn't difficult especially when you use wireless ip camera's, take alook at Ebay and save yourself some money.

Go for HD resolution.

supot electric has a range of cctv cameras just arrived on the shelves

go and talk to the boss [supot ] about them

and let us know your findings

cheers

Drop me a PM.

We offer high standard ACTi cameras (one of the best brands out there - Google them) with resolutions of up to 2592 x 1944 (HD 1080p is 1920 × 1080)

We also offer different options for recording/monitoring them, from a standalone NVR to a full blown server with RAID options for data integrity.

The new systems I am installing at the moment will even send a message/e-mail to your phone with a picture of any motion detected. Very handy.

I would not use these cheap brands that local companies here use, they are poor quality and have a limited warrant - they are normally imported from China under the radar.

I would also not use wireless cameras, everything should be cabled.

Go with modern, cabled, IP cameras. They are the next generation of technology, co-axial cable is getting old now and is out-dated.

Personally, I wouldn't let a local Thai bodge-it-and-scarper company install something that is so important. Most installs I have seen use single hard drive DVR's - there's no data redundancy with these and spinning platter hard drives die quite often out here. What if you desperately need a recording, only to find the hard drive has died?

Other issues I have seen is systems and cameras plugged directly in to the electricity here (which is terrible, spikes, brown-outs, etc.) - The benefit of using IP cameras with power over ethernet kits, is that you can keep the main equipment in one single location with a UPS (to keep the power clean and also run during any outages) that powers everything. So your NVR or Server, Cameras all run from a clean power supply.

Anyway, just some food for thought.
