Need camera upgrade suggestions to replace cheap Qsee camera

[Pookie 0]

The system is a year old and already had one camera fail under warranty and today another cam failed and its out of warranty--

 

This is a Costco purchased system and is the 8 camera 500 gig system. it has 6 weather proof cameras that look the same and 2 flush mount units--color in day and bw at nite

 

I realize the system is super cheapo junk and knowing I gotta pay outta pocket for future camera replacements would like to use other than qsee junk and would like to try a little better quality junk camera if poss.

 

Thx--Vinnie

This is a common statement I hear from my customers, we have a crap system and want to go a little better. This is when I usually suggest upgrading to a more superior system which will meet their needs and cost slightly more instead of just upgrading slightly. I am usually shot down and end up doing the slight upgrade. 9 times out of 10 I am back within 6 months to a year replacing the system with what was originally suggested by me.

 

I would say if money is an issue start piecing together a much better system.

 

As for slightly better what are you looking to spend? There is a lot on the market that is slightly better then Q-See, but this depends on what you have access to.

 

Give me a budget and I will throw some names around.

If the dvr has been working fine for you and you just need cameras, these will be very nice, give you field of view flexibility, and won't cost a fortune. I mention gadspot often to people such as you for analog cameras because they actually have decent cameras without a huge price tag. It's not uncommon to see these cameras listed elsewhere for 80-100 bucks or more, which imo is overpriced. Good luck.
