ConfusedCCTV 0 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi all - from this newbie, I am in the final stages of doing the cctv system for my shop showroom in Perth, Australia. CCTV is a maze and it's very confusing. Could you guys please recommend the most popular brands of DVR as used by members here. So far I've noticed Dahua is quite popular. I don't think it's easy to find in Australia, but I will try and source it if it's a recommended and reliable brand. What I need: 2 x DVRs for two sections (16ch and 8ch). Both will be using ALL channels. D1? (from what I've read) - prefer to record in the best quality possible based on HDD size Expandable HDD Time+date stamp during recording Back-up to DVD HDMI output? Remote viewing on Mac and iPhone I would be grateful if you can provide links or model numbers. It doesn't need to be budget options. Good quality and RELIABLE is what I am after - esp since it's for commercial use (image clarity, time+date stamp and recording needs to be very good). Thanks heaps!

cctv_down_under 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Rather than 2x DVR's - go for a Hybrid system, there are many that do 16 Analogue and 16 IP from the same box, there are many popular DVR/NVR systems in Australia. From the Pacom IDR series, Bosch, etc etc - I assume you ahve already had answers on this, the fact that you are in WA - I would suggest either Bosch or Pacom, as they both have offices there and reputable dealers that deal with the mining sector - We also have staff there - LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ConfusedCCTV 0 Posted April 8, 2013 Thanks very much CCTV down under. I have talked to a few people and managed to work something out! I went to the Bosch center in Balcatta and a young guy behind the counter (with the cognitive capacity of a thumb-tac) told me that they only supply to licensed CCTV installers - and that I will "NEVER get prices as low as ours no matter how much you look for it". All good. Sorted now. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
