professor78 0 Posted November 16, 2016 Hello community, I want to get a outdoor cctv system for my house. I am undecided in between two different systems: The HIKVISION 4Ch Dvr DS-7204-HQHI-F1/N, it has 2TB HDD and Full HD and SH CCTV cameras or The Swann Swann DVR8-4550 - 8 Channel with 2TB and Full HD and PRO T853 cameras. I will get 4 cameras with the Swann and can upgrade to 8 if I want. The Hikvision has only 4 cameras that come with it. I don't really need 8 cameras at the moment. Both cctv kits are at the same price. Which system would the best? Thank you for your contribution Pol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted November 16, 2016 Hi. I would not go with either ...... The hik is very limited ...... And I would no use tvi .... Cvi is much better Also if your not buying from a distributor then it will have firmware problems I would look at dahua over hikvision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
