An Off-the-Shelf kit is a great option if you’re looking for an all singing all dancing feature-packed kit but are not sure which camera to go for. The NiteDevil Hero is a superb all-rounder, performing great at night and even retaining some colour in the image but it also boasts some handy "intruder deterrent" features such as a built-in strobe and siren. Paired with a Zip NVR, the whole kit is easy to install, set up and most importantly really easy to use.
