commandcenter1 0 Posted January 5, 2012 In general, what brands in security cameras and DVR's are known for producing the highest quality along with the longest lasting reliability? Im sure like in any other electronic industry there are some brands to just steer clear from as there known to be nothing but problems and have a high breakdown rate.

sinque 0 Posted January 10, 2012 Cameras.. Axis Bosch Software Genetec is a good one for large scale. Depeding on how large of a project you have. The Axis/Bosch cameras can get pretty pricey. They both i do have options of low to high MegaPixel as well as B&W and PTZ systems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiona 0 Posted January 12, 2012 Oh, if it were all only that easy... Unfortunately it is not really possible to say that a single brand can achieve the highest quality with the greatest reliability. Your criteria of "quality" and "reliability" is dependent on the specific nature of the application. i.e. what objectives you need to satisfy with any proposed system. For example, if your CCTV is to monitor machines in a factory, the brands suited to this would be different to a nanny cam in the basement or mobile surveillance in a vehicle. It is all very well to name the established brands, but not even all of those can necessarily produce an outstanding product without becoming very expensive. For example, if you need medical imaging, you might want to consider a Mitsubishi DVR or some other DVR that uses the JPEG2000 format. The Mitsubishi's aren't quite so user friendly as some other DVRs and they cost a lot more to purchase plus they consume a lot more power. So, as a first step, one needs to clearly specify the objectives in mind. Clearly defining the problem is always the best way to start. And never forget that old maxim: A Job Well Begun Is Already Half Done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
