huggiesbear 0 Posted June 16, 2018 Hello all I am not that familiar with CCTV setup but after a major fail with an Alteq NVR I am looking to buy a new setup. Can anyone recommend a brand that offers really good features and has a good support service? I want options like remote viewing of my property, motion detection, some sort a notification service. Have I missed off any features that these devices offer that are a must? The reason I mentioned the support option is because when I researched Alteq (the original NVR I got) I couldn’t find anything like guides, software, etc. The setup I am after is an 8 channel IP NVR with PoE, 2-3 TB HDD, 5 x IP Dome (grey) cameras and the features I mentioned above + any I missed. I live in the Uk area the Leeds / York area. I was recommended the Qvis Viper so far but I couldn’t say if it good or bad. Any help / Advice will be appreciated Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted June 16, 2018 Hi. Are you looking for another cheap import ?? What is your budget Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huggiesbear 0 Posted June 16, 2018 Hello I want nothing like what I had so if that is a cheap import then NO lol. I would say around £600 - £700 but again is that enough? I enquired about the QVIS setup over IP and that was about £500 for all mentioned in my original post. Do these offer support to individual buyers like myself?

huggiesbear 0 Posted June 17, 2018 The budget I have listed is for the full product. This is roughly what I am after. The cabling is all in place so just need the hardware Budget £600 - £700 Items after - 8 IP NVR with PoE - 5 x Dome (grey) IP cameras ( not sure what spec is needed) - HDD to suit camera spec but cover a few weeks of data Features - Motion detection - alert notification - view remotely - iPhone app for viewing - support so I can call for help or view a website Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huggiesbear 0 Posted June 19, 2018 Hello I am not saying it’s not good enough at all. I only know of Alteq and QVIS (falcon) brands. I am sure there are many more but I really haven’t got a clue lol. I was just asking to find out reliable brands to compare but from the specs I have seen in the Qvis it looks ok. What other Qvis models do they have and what do they offer?

tomcctv 190 Posted June 20, 2018 Hi qvis have a lot more but over your budget. You also have dahua and hikvision ... but hikvision you will need to look at gray market products with your budget Lorex is another but you can only buy old stock in the uk at the moment Also you have TVT and avtech Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
