Dahua 24 CH Real-Time D1 DVR

[bigo93bronco 0]

I'm really interested in the Dahua DH-DVR2404HF-S for a small apartment complex own (small but difficult to cover). The only place i've been able to find it is over at comptechcare.com and there are a few things that worry me about their site. Has anyone ever heard of/ or done business with them? Any thoughts on this particular recorder? Another thing that worries me, is that everyone uses a different part# for this item, and either there are 2 different front panel designs for it, or some sites have the wrong picture displayed for it. I would appreciate any help you can give me.

Can anyone recommend a US based seller that carries the 24 channel Dahua DVR?

What's wrong with multiple DVRs of the same brand? As long as the manuf has a program that allows multiple DVRs in one app. Most of them that I looked at do. Break them into zones and then it also removes the single point of failure issue as well.

I'm new here and definitely no expert, but the sticky post at the top of this forum, Where to find Dahua DVR's and Cameras, has some retailers.

 

I am looking for a smaller 4 or 8 unit, I contacted http://www.securitycameraking.com/ from that list, no 24s but they do have 16 and 32s. They offered excellent configuration support. I have not purchased yet.

 

This whole Dahua thing is confusing by design I think. Rebadging in the US and multiple configurations to help dealers market. Normally this would be a red flag and I would run, but everyone loves them apparently. Security Camera King said they make them here from Dahua parts from China? They are in Florida.
