Q-See QT428 vs Swann D14?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anybody has had a chance to use either or both of these units.

 

Picked up a Swann D19-16CH w/8 Camera bundle at Costco and while I thought the image quality was decent... the leafblower dual fans on the side of the DVR is making this a dealbreaker... I thought my old PC's were loud!

 

From what I gather here the Q-See is fanless... not sure about the D14.

 

The QT-428 almost has me sold, but not sure about the quality of the cameras that come with it. I know typically bundled cameras are not that great... but need a starting point for now.

Looks like the QT428 comes bundled a variety of ways- meaning the quality of the cameras. You could consider just the dvr and add better cameras than might come with a bundled package. In fact I highly recommend it. I don't have either dvr but I do have a qs408 from them and I like it a bunch. It came bundled with eight cameras which I quickly swapped out for better. My 408 is fanless but don't assume all of them are- confirm it. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. I contacted Swann and they said the D14 has a fan... though in the manual when you see them replacing the HD, I don't see any fan... but who knows.

 

Seems QSee often has firmware updates, which speaks volumes about after-sales support. Might be tough to gethem on the phone as some people say, but at least they are passing firmware updates along from their manufacturers.
