Tall Paul 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Hi guys I’m trying to source some discrete cameras for a client and wondered if anyone has any recommendations? One option I have considered is the FloodCam – a working floodlight with built-in hidden camera. Problem is they are too expensive! I was hoping to find the “false alarm box” type but no-one appears to make them anymore. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

keeps 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Hello Paul What sort of prices have you been quoted on the security floodlight cameras? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tall Paul 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Hi Keeps, I'm looking at about £115 each! And the client wanted 4. But surprisingly didn't want to pay that much Paul www.sascctv.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bpzle 0 Posted February 23, 2011 Paul, May I ask why a customer would need you in the equation if you are selling/ installing Swann grade equipment? Can't they just pick up that stuff from Woolworths and install it in a weekend themselves? I'm curious why a professional would want to be associated with that garbage... Maybe you see a benefit I don't? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you see a benefit I don't? bpzle, I didn't say I was selling/installing Swann grade equipment. (I presume you're referring to my website which is still very much a work in progress.) My clients request was for a merger of his existing DIY installed "Swann grade" internal system with some new discrete external kit. He couldn't do it himself and so I got the opportunity to quote. (My Grandfather always told me - "never ignore an opportunity!") My customers would have difficulty buying from Woolworths in the UK anyway - they went bust ages ago. In the UK at present business is very tough and I firmly believe that my business will survive by offering a professional service that accepts the customer is always right - even when they are wrong. And I agree, I would prefer to supply quality kit - I actually offered 3 versions to suit his remit at different price points. None of which fit his budget! I'd be interested to know if you feel I'm doing it wrong? Paul www.sascctv.co.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe you see a benefit I don't? People are lazy these days, even if they buy it themselves, in most cases they dont want to do the work of installing it, or feel they cant. All work is, work. But yes I would steer them far away from Swann. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
