mariuszpl88 0 Posted November 22, 2014 I'm looking for security system for my house. I'm interested in 8 channels system. I would like to use ip cameras. Can anyone recommend a brand or kit that would fit my needs? I did some research and found this at costco http://www.costco.com/.product.916876.html Does any one has experience with qsee? My budget is around 1000-1200$. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yl_fang 0 Posted November 26, 2014 It's not necessary to be wireless. It's more like a mini dvr+camera, if you need multiple cameras, you can control them through pc or mobile individually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yl_fang 0 Posted November 27, 2014 Basically what Irecommanded is P2P cameras. It supports wired and wireless. It doesn' need dvr. P2P supports connection and control directly with pc or mobile. However, if you do like to have a dvr, try the one you find on cosco or another brand swann. I also know there is all in one system which monitor with dvr embeded, but it's not being selling at cosco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogieman 1 Posted November 27, 2014 The cameras are rebranded hikvision 2032..bunch of info on these...the NVR..i dont know... You can also build you own system...the 2032 is available for 85 via aliexpress...no warranty (shipping return is too expensive)...a better camera is the hikvision 2332/3332 turret...if you want a simple plug and play kit, get the costco system...you will have full warranty support and you can return it if you dont like it..

Hikvision makes several models without the poe...i am not well versed on the differences but there are several threads discussing them...you will not find them at costco though....there are various local sellers that stock them or you can look at aliexpress..
