ConfusedCCTV

Thanks very much CCTV down under. I have talked to a few people and managed to work something out! I went to the Bosch center in Balcatta and a young guy behind the counter (with the cognitive capacity of a thumb-tac) told me that they only supply to licensed CCTV installers - and that I will "NEVER get prices as low as ours no matter how much you look for it". All good. Sorted now. Cheers!

Anyone..? Someone...? Hmmm

Hi all - from this newbie, I am in the final stages of doing the cctv system for my shop showroom in Perth, Australia. CCTV is a maze and it's very confusing. Could you guys please recommend the most popular brands of DVR as used by members here. So far I've noticed Dahua is quite popular. I don't think it's easy to find in Australia, but I will try and source it if it's a recommended and reliable brand. What I need: 2 x DVRs for two sections (16ch and 8ch). Both will be using ALL channels. D1? (from what I've read) - prefer to record in the best quality possible based on HDD size Expandable HDD Time+date stamp during recording Back-up to DVD HDMI output? Remote viewing on Mac and iPhone I would be grateful if you can provide links or model numbers. It doesn't need to be budget options. Good quality and RELIABLE is what I am after - esp since it's for commercial use (image clarity, time+date stamp and recording needs to be very good). Thanks heaps!
