Acti or HIK Vision?

[mhz 0]

I have been doing some research into a CCTV system for my new home and have decided on either Acti or HIK Vision for the setup

I need around 5-6 cameras outside and the same for inside the house

I am looking at around 3MP IP cameras and have shortlisted the following

 

Acti E72

Acti D72

HIK DS-2CD2732F-IS

HIK DS-2CD2132F-I

Acti D55

 

I work in IT and have computers lying around that could be used for a software NVR solution, but I'm also open to using a purpose NVR box

 

What recommendations do you have for me regarding this sort of setup?

I am wanting to spend max $300 per camera if I can

What is the HIK equivalent to the Acti D55?

 

I should also add that I run a couple of QNAP storage devices on the network as well (of which one is currently running my foscam and d-link ip cams in my current house). If I could utilise these that would be a bonus.

You are looking for the DS-2CD2132-I or DS-2CD2732F-I

which work great with your Qnap and is about 10%-15% less expensive. However I prefer ActI over Hikvision in this price range. I have been trying out Messoa which is pretty decent but closer to the $400 range. Our supplier provides a wide range of cameras that work well with QNAP.
