Compared to the proper stuff it is crup atm, but it is good value for money crup and the ANPR system cannot be beaten on price nothing comes close. My Hybrid NVR/DVR cost me three times as much to produce than a 16 way Hik, my DVR/NVR is a far easier recorder to operate, search, has more features, and I can integrate the CCTV with most things, and I have better analytics. But it wont be long before Hik catch up, its only really taken them 5 years to get here, think what they will be doing in 5 years time. Sad really
