SentryAlertSystems Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Hi guys, I have a friend who I'm putting a quote together for on his house. Been out of the domestic game for years now so I'm fairly clueless as to what's out there domestic wise. I have some external, wireless beam sets I'm going to incorporate into the system which will be set/unset by keyswitch. the recorder will report activations via smart phone app / email. I have a couple of 3MP cameras I would like to use but if someone could suggest a HD DVR system which will work just as well that would be great so I can give him a cheaper alternative system to compare. Many thanks in advance Quote
asc292 Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 I personally like Hikvision. Its cheap and works well. Just buy from a reputable distributor so you don't get the chinese firmware. Nuvico makes some decent stuff too. Flir is another to check out but I'm not a big fan. Honeywell, GE and Geovision make a cheaper line of nvrs and IP cameras. I have not used them much. Speco makes a good product too. The one thing about the camera market is their is no shortage of products to choose from. Quote
SentryAlertSystems Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 I have looked at the hikvision 7604 and do like spec. I need an NVR where the alarm reporting / alarm inputs work well And has a good smart phone app, as the main selling point is video confirmation. All I fit these days is i7 razberri's on milestone, the only other NVR I've had a play with is idis To be honest. Quote
cctvtech Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 Milestone is good, we've used them in the past. Also I really like Xanview - which has a lot of features and is easy to use. It's much more budget friendly than Milestone. Hikvision, I have mixed feelings about - their interface is quite antiquated and not as user friendly as the first two - also I find they're a pain to reach in case of issues. Quote
