aibudo 0 Posted December 28, 2012 It would take a "book" to answer all of that. Maybe someone on the forum can give you some directive, but there are just too many variables for me. Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dennis That's not the kind of knowledge I seek. I'm not looking for text book knowledge, I'm looking for personal, anecdotal experience and wisdom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted December 31, 2012 are you talking $100 , $1000 or $10000 cameras ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yakky 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Its too hard to generalize like that. I've sampled just about every newer model of CNB Analog cameras and they range from not so hot, to top of the charts. Samsung is certainly able to produce a good quality camera, however they aren't very popular around here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mirandasieck 0 Posted January 2, 2013 Samsung surveillance cameras are best in quality and I am using it through quite long time in my home and office. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
easygibson 0 Posted March 15, 2013 i still can't believe that anyone would recommend any system other than IP digital cameras. By far the leader of the industry is Mobotix. This might help. [MOD: link removed] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Numb-nuts 1 Posted March 15, 2013 In terms of analogue cameras, it all depends on what style of camera you want. Different styles are more suitable for some situations than others. First decide what style of camera would suit your installation, then look at what features you want, and then consider which brands have given good service. The brands I prefer are several and for varied reasons. Where I have mostly indoor cameras I prefer low light indoor domes from QVIS and Concept-Pro, whereas bullet style I prefer Cop Security and again Concept Pro unless money is an issue, then QVIS are very good value. Not all customers are prepared to pay for top of the range cameras so sometimes a compromise between price and performance needs to be made. Brands like Sanyo, JVC and Samsung all do pretty good cameras throughout their range especially when using body cameras. My two favourite brands overall QVIS where price is an issue and Concept-Pro and COP where performance is more important but still there is a budget to meet. No experience to speak of with IP so can't comment Well you did ask I have never used Genie but I hear they are very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UrbanSecurityGroup 0 Posted March 24, 2013 Lots of manufacturers (and even more resellers) out there to choose from and very hard to generalize which the "best" ones are... My company uses Samsung security products very frequently as their pricing, quality, support and brand recognition all equate to a great value (especially their box cameras with a nice housing). I consider Axis as more expensive but higher quality (image, build, support)... Cheaper solutions we frequently use are Vitek & digital watchdog, especially for domes... Take a look at the following sites for reviews of specific cameras, including sample footage, and other useful info: http://www.networkcameracritic.com/ http://www.networkwebcams.com/ip-camera-learning-center/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ralph22 0 Posted March 26, 2013 Samsung CCTV camera look really nice.In fact in Finland there are many people using some brand like this and some are buying cctv at http://samsec.fi/ which most of their cctv also has a good quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voipmodo 0 Posted March 29, 2013 The best brand is the one that gets the job done for your needs. Every install and setup is different. I see many, many , many people looking for very low cost IP cameras or try to make do with analog. Then I see these same companies on the news showing substandard video evidence trying to track down a robber or vandal. A good security camera is one that allows you to capture the information you need, to either monitor or provide evidence if something goes wrong. Its like rock climbing, do you spend the money on a fully tested 10,000lb rated rope for $200 to catch you if you fall, or do you go down to Home Depot for a $20 Rope. Both will work in some cases, but would you trust your life to "some" cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
