I have purchased a Samsung system from Sam's. In a word, it is crap!
The picture quality is just awful. Thinking it was the cameras, I went to Frys
and picked up two Swan Pro cameras with some improvement but still not
what i expected or desired.
Please make your suggestions on a great system.
My wish list is as follows but not all are necessary:
I want high quality video.
At least 8 channels maybe 16.
I would like a push to talk function with audio to the front door. (intercom)
It must be Mac compatible so I can work with it on the iphone. But the unit can be DVR.
I would like motion detection and alarming on as many channels as possible with email notification.
I would like 2 cameras with zoom tilt and pan. (I have a three story house so the zoom should be able to reach out down the road)
Low light or IR with good resolution is required.
I would like to be able to distribute the video to a channel on my big screens throughout the house.
All cameras must be rated for outdoors and I live in a humid climate.
Much of the wire already run in my house is CAT 5 and security wire so if I could use this it would help.
Budget is $10.
Just kidding I will spend up to $3,000 maybe more if it really kicks ass.
Thanks!
Edit: HA! I just noticed I screwed up my user name HA! Great start!
