    Hi All,

    Looking at changing my system over from analog to fully IP based. I was looking at some equipment from LTS. I am concerned since I don't see much about it online here. I am also starting to see that possibly the Hiki DS-2cd2032 could be the same as the CMIP8232. I noticed some posts about different origins causing problems and was trying to find out if anyone had used the CMIP8232s. As a quick basis before hitting all the info on what I am looking to do, lets say 16 channel NVR 100 MBPS with 8 Port POE built in. I would like to stick with 3 MP cameras and looked at at listed part number above as a choice. Any advice would be welcomed on those brands. the NVR was an LTS brand as well.

    Thanks

     

    lts doesn't sell to end user, even you are reseller, need setup account, call people.

    I like online shop better, I bought my ds-2cd2032 and ds-7608ni from www.DVRDeal.com, the price is lower than lts and ebay/amazon, and now they works great now.

    currently all IPC and NVR are lower thern version 2.2. means if you connect to different brands, there's only 24/7 recording. the worse one is version 2.0, it has problem with rtsp connections.

    when the onvif version 2.3 comes, this problem will be solved, motion recording and full function (change camera setting from nvr). i currently have tried brands dahua with Q1C1, acti with Q1C1, they works perfectly, perfect video, but just no motion recording.

    It will be very interesting. But since Hikvision makes Honeywell and GE camera's anyways, it seems pointless to pay more for a name brand.

     

    I find it very hard to believe LTS is the only supplier, so there are no other ones?

     

    The ones I listed are all east coast, I would assume there would be some on the west coast also.

     

     

    those OEM distributors are

    LTS, Winnic, Hunt, Q1C1

    I think End user usually go the Costco/Lorex/Swann/Qsee/amazon/alieeexpress/ebay route.

     

    Installers can use local distributors like Eastern/Unix/LTS/Skysonic/ADI/Tri-Ed/Winic (on east coast) and use UPS...i think the installer buys local if they need technical support/personal touch.

     

    Prices seem lowest on alieexpress.

     

     

    AGREED, you are really clear for this market. but i would say aliexpress is no good. everything shipped from china, no warranty, and wait forever.

    security products are more about service. especially when something happen or when you need upgrade firmware.

    Dahua's factory support is terrible. You have to either get it from the vendor you bought from, or find someone on the web that has it.

     

     

    that's because they don't have office is USA. all sales channel is via distributors.

     

    some distributor's service is very bad, i used to buy from hd security store from amazon, they are BAD, no respond to my email. when they do, they can't answer my questions, return instead.

     

    then i switched my 2nd project from TECH VIDEO in amazon, they give much better service and tech support. i had milestone system, they called me and walked me through.

     

    so from my experience, i love dahua products, but need pick the right vendor.

    same as you, i bought this Q1C1 license plate camera as well

    http://q1c1.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=68_70&product_id=52

    at initial time, i wasn't good to capture the plate numbers. i contacted their customer service, now after i zoom the lens in, and turned on the HLC function. the camera works very well. read literally all license plates passed by.

    i think the trick for this camera is the night vision, you need adjust it. day time is just plug and play.
