Just a thought from personal experience. im looking for a system as well but havent decided what to get yet.

Avoid bullet cameras if you can, most of the swann systems are bullet cameras. A mate of mine had his Le mans blue edn X5 parked on his drive. a couple of toe rags came and pushed the camera up with a stick (as it is fixed on to a tilt type bracket ) and knicked his 20" alloys (which had 2 bmw locking bolts on each wheel) He came out in the morning to find his car on bricks and he lives in a nice part of north london. He claimed off his insurance and had a set of 4 brand new wheels fitted . Believe it or not they came and knicked em again!!!

I was also told to avoid fixed focus and make sure the cameras are varifocal.

another suggestion was to stretch to HD cameras if budget allows. but i think they are alot more money.

The way I see it the Cameras will not stop anyone intent on getting something. All they have to do is cover their face and job done....the camera is useless.
I see them more as a visual deterrent and hope that any potential thief would see the cameras & alarm system and hopefully just move onto somewhere easier.
