Ip Cctv Cameras

[FalconSecurity]

Was looking to buy a IP CCTV camera and wanted some advice on a good make and model.

 

Would like to have a PoE and be able to stream in real time to an iPad or Mac.

 

Also would like an external camera with night vision capability.

 

Was thinking around £200 or so for each camera.

 

So was thinking about the hikivision or may be samsung.

 

Any views and ideas?

Installing a hikvision at the moment and the picture quality from the bullet cameras is outstanding. Not got to play with the Nvr yet but it looks a decent kit.

We've been using alot of Truvision IP kit lately and seems to be really good.Even the 1.3MegaPixel cameras are superb picture quality.

We fit loads of hikvision and they picture quality is good. Fitted the 4 and 8 poe version and also the a 32 channel nvr where you need to supply your own poe switches.

We have had nothing but trouble with Hikvision.

For now we have stopped using it.

We have had no trouble with HIK, fitted one of their IP PTZ's last week, well impressed

More since the last thread?

[whistle]

Yes.

Still having problems with LEDs not working on certain cameras on the system. We have had 2 machines die completely.

[timmo66]

We had the LED issue. Nothing since updating camera firmware. I was informed it was caused by an apple device remotely accessing the machine for the first time, causing the glitch.

When you say die.. Do you mean for good, or crashes and in need of a reboot?

[whistle]

Died for good had to be sent back for replacement.
