Tafia 0 Posted July 5, 2018 Now that we DIY installers can't buy pro Hikvision stuff can anyone recommend the next best make? I have a 2.8 lens TVI camera installed but find it does not let me identify those coming to my gate 30 ft from the camera. I am going to need a TVI varifocal. Is the Hikvision Hiwatch range of similar build quality to the pro Hikvision? I had thought Samsung cameras should be good but have seen some poor reviews on line. Sony Starvis? Thanks.

PapaBill 1 Posted July 7, 2018 I have heard of alot of people switching from hikvision to the Dahua, since it has good video and starvis and also audio. Andi from aliexpress who sells dahua and gets them shipped to u in about 3-4 days is good, and he just posted that they are moving their business to the U.S. now. And free shipping. I gave up on hik since the only seller I could find was B&Hphoto. Heres his email Just email him what items you want and he will send you a statement via email, he also takes paypal, and prefers payapl over the aliexpress crap. kingsecurity2014@163.com http://empiretech01.com/ His amazon store also https://www.amazon.com/s?marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A329YQ83EBQGJF&merchant=A329YQ83EBQGJF&redirect=true Heres the ali store https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1200032 I am in the process of buying about 6 of these for my house, https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/IPC-HDW5231R-ZE-2MP-WDR-IR-Eyeball-Network-Camera-IPC-HDW5231R-ZE-free-DHL-shipping/1200032_32837850138.html?spm=2114.12010612.8148356.2.40a01f6blbcg7F No I am not affiliated with him, just seen alot of positive reviews about him from fellow people on cctv sites.

Don’t bother buying expensive dahua from 3rd party sellers that are over priced You will find the same products from lorex and cheaper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
