Is it me or is HIK vision way overhyped? I've never used it before until yesterday & I'd say it looks cheap & nasty which runs in like with what they paid for it so no arguments on that point but I don't think this product is suitable for "any application".
It has a market don't get me wrong but I don't think it warrants the wankfest some people make out...
You admit you have no experience but will follow instruction, plenty who have experience, are shite and won't follow instruction so I'd say you heads above.
