Joeinamillion 0 Posted February 20, 2015 I have been considering buying either Hikvision or Dahua brand cameras, but re-branded versions might be easier to buy. (Found lots of people that bought 'Hikvision" and "Dahua" cameras that when they got the product it was NOT a real Hikvision or Dahua.) I'm not afraid to buy re-branded stuff, all my appliances are Kenmore. But I knew the OEM before I bought, and I looked at the real thing before. I also know a cheap Kenmore is junk, and the higher end is the better stuff. If I buy a S-qee, Lorax, or Swann re-brand, how can I tell the OEM brand and model #? Is the re-brand software/firmware etc interfaces as good/reliable as the OEM? Do re-brands have all the features enabled? Are re-brands more 'buggy'? And something I would never try unless I didn't have any use for the re-branded camera... could it be stripped of all re-branding software/firmware and the 'loaded' with OEM firmware/software?

Numb-nuts 1 Posted February 23, 2015 Think about it this way if you had a brand and sold it as a re branded product would you configure it to be buggy or to perform well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
