Hi everyone! Newbie here.
I was in the process of building and setting up a dedicated computer for using a Blue Iris security system.
Unfortunately, I have run out of time and absolutely MUST have a Security/Surveillance System set up within a two week period [we are moving to a new location].
I will continue to do my very best to learn how to set up the various cameras I have purchased with the Blue Iris software. I have also decided [with the good advice I received at CAM IT! forums] to purchase and install an alarm system too.
My present needs are for a Security/Surveillance System preferably purchased from Costco that will offer 24/7 technical support. I trust Costco because I believe they are a great company and when I spoke to their administration, they informed me that Costco has a tech support team as well [above and beyond the 3rd party vendors]. Not sure if this is really true.
Many of the Costco reviews I read from the Lorex Brand contained descriptions of the incredible 24/7 tech support Lorex offers with their equipment.
While I am learning how to use Blue Iris and my new cameras, I would like to purchase a complete security system with 4-10 cameras. Costco offers a large selection of choices. Which Costco Security/Surveillance System do you recommend I use while learning to use BI with my newly arrived Dericam's and Empire cameras?
I absolutely MUST have my new location secure before moving in. My budget is around $1000-$1200.
24/7 tech support is an absolute must.
Can anyone give me advice based upon personal experience? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated! Please help me out if you can.
I would like to stay away from the analog versions.
Thank you!
Soar
