Help selecting DVR and Cams

[margioa 0]

Hi all,

 

I am new to this awesome forum and this is my first time posting here.

 

I am practically starting CCTV installations, still learning and wishing to learn more from all of your advices.

 

I need to install in about a week a new CCTV system with 8 channels. So far, I have been acquiring products @ 123securityproducts.com.

 

I have two DVRs more less selected:

1.) https://www.123securityproducts.com/srd-840-1tb.html

or 2.) https://www.123securityproducts.com/ecor960-8f-1t.html

 

I wanted to know which one would you select and why?

 

As per cameras I have these two models:

1.) https://www.123securityproducts.com/cbhde21nl.html

2.) https://www.123securityproducts.com/ctts502vr72.html

 

same question as before?

 

Thank very much.

the Samsung dvr is old news and the everfocus dvr is not far behind .

both of these dvr's will lock you into using standard definition camera's .

I would take a good look at your hi def options .

you should consider hd-sdi .

like the ctw-dvr608hdsdi/1.5u would be a reasonably priced good quality hd-sdi dvr .

as far as cam's. ctw-hdir43/2812 varifocal bullet or ctw-hdd142/2812 varifocal turret.

 

if your budget is tight or tighter than hd-sdi . you can still get hi def with a hd-cvi system .

1080p hd-cvi is a little less expensive than hd-sdi but 720p hd-cvi is about half the price

of hd-sdi and less expensive than everything you were looking at .

also at least double the resolution .

I would look at IP Cameras

 

HD-SDI

 

HD-CVI

 

Seem like old news

 

Might be a good choice if the BNC cable is already there and the client does not want to pay to pull it out and install CAT5e/CAT6, but in new installs I would look at IP Cameras from Hikvision or other know manufacturers

im pretty sure hd-cvi is fairly new news .

 

hi def resolution , DIY plug and play install .

AND WAY LESS EXPENSIVE THAN IP !

 

for most homeowners its a no brainer . unless that homeowner is a computer/ip geek on a mission to test his skills .
