Hello, looking for some suggestions on DVR recorders. Last one we had was a Lorex, after spending hours passing almost 400 feet of cable and setting up the remote viewing, 1 camera died and the DVR had to be rebooted every 2 weeks... Did I mention the DVR eventually died 60 days after installing it. ^$#&@%*(((@#!!!!!!!!
Here are my needs:
-Record 6 or 8 channels in 720x480 each.
-Record on 1 or 2TB HD.
-Good support from the DVR manufacturer
-Remote viewing online on Windows, Mac and iPhone.
-4 indoor cameras capable of low light with on-board IR illuminator or mounted separately.
-2 outdoor cameras capable of low light, ready for Canadian winters.
-I have no need for alarm interconnection or audio communication.
The Lorex image quality was a joke. What budget can I expect for something reliable and capable of identifying a perp. Any suggestions for brands, models and a budget? Am located in Canada so it would be best if they have service up here.
Also, what is the advantage of going with IP cameras? Worth the money?
Regards,
Peter M
