Hypnos 0 Posted May 7, 2016 I'm start off by saying I bought "Swann 8-channel NVR Surveillance" http://www.costco.ca/Swann-8-channel-NVR-Surveillance-System-with-2TB-Hard-Drive-and-8-3MP-HD-Cameras.product.100248660.html from Costco.ca. BTW it is complete Crap, and Doesn't support the Hikvision software, so all you have is the Swann software from 2013 that will probably never be updated... My problem now, what can I buy? I was going to just buy the Hikvision then it all would be supported, but everywhere I look there are people complaining that vendors are selling the Chinese unsupported ones and saying there the USA ones... I live in Canada but I'm only 2 min. from the USA border. So I can buy from Amazon.ca or .com but I can only do Free returns to the .ca, and they doesn't even seem to have much for Hikvision. I would buy Swann again (maybe..) IF I'm 100% sure it will work with the hikvinion. also there is Lorex and AvertX? The system I get Needs to have: 8 PoE ports Good software from my PC AND/OR on the NVR 1080p I don't care about the 3M (is don't have as good a view angel for what I want) and I don't care if I need to buy all the parts separate. I'll even buy the HD separate if I have to. Thanks, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hypnos 0 Posted May 14, 2016 Any one try the AvertX yet? I still could really use some help... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted May 15, 2016 Any one try the AvertX yet? I still could really use some help... Hi. Lorex would be better if you want to add hikvision .... You can also add dahua . IC realtime ... ADI are both dahua distributors and you will get better backup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
