CCAR 0 Posted September 28, 2021 Building a new home and got an estimate on a surveillance system from a low voltage/alarm system/audio installer. Any thoughts appreciated. Is Luma a good quality brand? Are these good prices or just MSRPs? It looks like these are only sold through distributors so it is difficult to find price comparisons or reviews. -- Surveillance System -- Luma SurveillanceTM 710 Series Dome IP Camera with Starlight and Heater -- White QTY 4 at $675.95 each $2,703.80 Total Luma SurveillanceTM 510 Series 4 Channel NVR -- 5TB QTY 1 at $1,400.90 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence the reason why I posted here because the price seemed high. Can you elaborate on a better value or why these are "basic"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it home or business and will you be installing your self Hi. Thanks. Home. Mid-East US. 4 cameras. Under porch, and 3 eaves cameras - two in front drive on either end of home and one over garages. The two in front will be second story eaves and garage will probably be 10-12 feet high. Looking for a good quality system, reliable with good remote viewing capability on app. I would like audio but 2-way is not important. I've had HikVision and LTS cameras that are meh in prior homes. Luma may be a good equipment but their website sucks. I can't even see the specs of their products. It honestly looks like a kid did their pages: https://www.lumasurveillance.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted September 28, 2021 Hi. There just resellers they don’t make anything system come in 4-8-16-32 way one of the best systems on the market at the moment is TVT and they also have the best app ever made for a cctv system it gives you full control of your system including remote reboot TVT makes hikvision and dahua look like toys if your installing your self I would buy an 8 way nvr and buy cameras as you build up all there system take 2mp upto 4K as standard and you can use almost every camera brand I have installed over 60 of these units and had no problems just to show how much you was quoted luma nvr basic $1.400 tvt Ai 4K nvr is around $400 and does a lot more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCAR 0 Posted September 29, 2021 Not sure where to get any of their kit since they have no North American distributors. http://en.tvt.net.cn/about/partners244.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
