tomcctv 190 Posted June 16, 2014 Network and DDNS service you can do yourself Main question to ask is why 700tvl with a 960h dvr Use the money you save on doing network setup on 960h cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted June 16, 2014 $180 one time and $75 a year is kinda bad for something that is free...just tell them you know how to do it and waive the fee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sa greed 0 Posted June 17, 2014 So, 700 tvl cameras lose quality if only using a 960 dvr? I won't lose quality of picture if I went with 960h because it's capped at the dvr? Do they make a 720p dvr and if so, would the money be too much considering the "marginal" difference? Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
buellwinkle 0 Posted June 17, 2014 960H is the new marketing way of saying 480P, weird huh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkisbad 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Parts alone is anywhere from $350-$500, so he isn't marking you up much on the parts. Do you think its worth $700 to run 4 cables? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sa greed 0 Posted June 17, 2014 So, if I can find an installer to do it for say 4bills, would this system be a better bang for my buck? granted I didn't really give you much info on what I was offered. http://www.costco.com/Q-See-8-Channel-720p-HD-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-8-720p-Cameras.product.100104432.html?catalogId=10701&keyword=865574&langId=-1&storeId=10301 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
