bassett72 0 Posted May 23, 2017 I need a home system (thinking IP with NVR), 2 cameras to start for sure, with the ability to do 4 for sure, maybe 8 if the cost isn't much more. I always like to leave room for expansion. I'm really out of luck locally, besides this one system (enclosed photo "STORM BY INAXSYS"). The other two pictures are quotes by 123 Security and SCW. I don't know boo about systems, so I'm really at the mercy of every salesman I talk to. I want a decent quality system that will last awhile, give me good pictures, will notify my phone when motion is detected, and cameras that will withstand the cold Wisconsin winters. I think most will, and I'm leaning towards the bullet or turret design, not a dome. Would love more input to help make up my mind. Maybe the local guy, 123 Security, and SCW are all crap. Heck, I just wouldn't know. To be honest, I like the conversations I've had with SCW and their 3 year warranty, lifetime support, but they could be feeding me a line of bull. The local guy was VERY nice, older, seems very honest, but again, is his STORM BY INAXSYS system crap? If I could enclose more than 3 pictures I would have included all the specs, but I couldn't.... Can ANYONE help me with this. Is there maybe another place to shop, route I should go. I would love to get this done soon before it gets hot out and I pass out running the cables in the attic. I would really appreciate anything you can give me related... OH, and someone else suggested this system, but on the surface, it seems too much like a big box item that folks have told me to steer clear off... https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/hd-security-camera-system-with-2k-recorder-weatherproof-cameras/LN10802-84W-1-p#overviewSection Again, HELP!

tomcctv 190 Posted May 23, 2017 Hi. They are stupid prices. The lorex link is a good little unit and will do what you need But if you spend $630 you will have a much better system than any of the quotes you have This is the best out of them all https://www.lorextechnology.com/site/LN10802-84W-1-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bassett72 0 Posted May 23, 2017 Is the FLIR CLOUD app the only app you can use with it for remote viewing? That app's reviews are terrible and recent. Curious, what is your experience related to the Lorex systems? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Curious, what is your experience related to the Lorex systems? Hi I have never bought a lorex system You can use all dahua apps Reviews are pointless ...... .... and you will find bad reviews about anything see the 2 you listed first...... both just for 4 cams and nvr supply only ....over $1000.......... over $500 of list price ..... yet your considering them. You will always loose your mind reading reviews or listening to salesmen. But the reason a recommended lorex ....... you are new to cctv. And many people who are going to install there first system intact waste that budget and buy crap I could find the same products on eBay for you ...... but I think you would like warranty or support and updates...... which you don't get from eBay I am not selling you anything ...... but look at cost .... saved you $400 And on my link the system is bigger spec than the others Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
