NUUO vs Aver vs Geovison

[MrBostn 0]

Hi,

 

A property management company I work for is finally replacing their dying Intellex DVR. They currently have 13 analog cameras. It's not likely they'll add any IP cameras.

I'm looking at either the NUUO SCB-7016, the Aver NV8146, or the Geo 1480A. (all pci-e)

 

The property manager just wants to be able to view from his desktop (on same lan) and burn any video from incidents from his pc.

 

I'm drawn to the NUUO because of the hardware compression, and the full D1 recording from all channels.

 

The pc that I'm building will have local storage. It could run either XP or Win7. 2TB of recording space.

 

Any input will be appreciated,

 

Thank you

I may be a little biased. I am the Sr Manager of Inside Sales for NUUO in the US. However if there is anything I can do to be of assistance, please feel free to contact me personally.

Hi Zach,

 

From what I see NUUO has decent products. If you're a putting together a system without a NUUO integrator (partner) as I am, support might be suspect, as it is Asia based.

 

I'll touch base with you today or tomorrow.

 

Thank you,

Scott

I've installed many NUUO hybrid systems including one customer who has 8 sites.

 

I find new to have good tech support. I've always been able to speak with someone.

 

You must follow there approved hardware and if not you will be called out on it if you do call with any issues.

 

They have no spot out which I find very odd. I complained about this for the past year and a half.

 

I find the software easy to use but clunky. It takes a lot of resources to run because the server does not run as a service and requires the client running in order to record.

 

Playing back video opens a separate window which I find to be excessive and a contributor to the resource requirements.

 

Overall i do install NUUO a lot.

Thanks for the reply. I bought the NUUO. Waiting for it to arrive this week. I'll post back after things are setup.

Thanks for giving me a call. I was glad I could be of assistance. Just a reminder, NUUO - US is located in Shreveport, LA. Our live tech support is located there. As well as our new E - Helpdesk. Once again please feel free to contact me personally if there is anything else I can do to be of service.

I am a huge fan of NUUO equipment and have been useing their stuff in Australia for about 3 1/2 years or more in various configurations and sites rangeing from dog pounds to supermarkets,cement works, hotels, councils,clubs and other businesses.

So, I got the NUUO SCB-7016. Very happy with it. It's sitting in an i7-2600. 8GB RAM six drives.

two drives for the OS (Win7 64) in a raid 1. 4 drives (WD Black 2TB) attached to an Adaptec 6405e raid controller. 14 analog cameras. Recording full D1 on all channels.

 

The i7 is overkill. CPU usage is about 8-12%. I'm a novice at cctv and don't find the NUUO software an issue at all. So far I'm very happy with NUUO.

 

An i5 probably would have been fine. We shall see after I add some IP camera later this year.

After 12 days for recording I've used up only 370GB of space. The four 2TB drives in raid 10 gave me 3.67TB of usuable space. I hope to fit 45 days of recordings on this.

 

I hope this helps someone here.
