4k NVRs?

[Merlin2000 0]

I ran across the Axis S2008 which is a 4k NVR. I want to pair it with 4 cameras at the house.

 

Anyone know much about this model?

 

I'm looking for something that I can stream 24/7 from an Android type wall mounted tablet. So as long as the app quality is good, the tablet should work fine.

 

I tried one really cheap NVR, but it broke within a few weeks.

You can’t go wrong with that unit. axis is GREAT tech. I say pull the trigger if you have the cash. I am an Axis distributor, I may be able to get that for you at a discount. What price are you paying online?

Online seems to be around $2230. What's the main difference between the S2008 and Companion NVR for 1/4 the price?

I can't really find any reviews for either system.

 

Do they both run the same iphone apps/software?

They run the same VMS. One model is just enterprise level, and the other advanced. The more expensive one comes with a bunch of features you probably won’t ever use.

One only runs companion

 

Are you also buying cameras ?

I'm looking at two of the Axis 1428 4k cameras. Looks like it should be compatible with Companion. I'm mainly looking for lag-free android/ios based apps so I can place wall tablets. WiFi signal is 100% throughout the house.

 

We have a couple Nest cameras, but the app quality is pretty horrible. Hard to view previous recordings, constant force close, unable to see all cameras in live/real-time.

 

I think I may just need to get the two 1428 cameras, a POE switch, and test out both software platforms locally to see what the app experience is like. I can't find much testing/examples online for the apps.

It looks like the S2008 can only handle 1 4k camera feed. Is that correct? What do I buy to handle 4 4k cameras?
