I have a customer looking for a residential solution with the following requirements: 4 Indoor/Outdoor Cameras - No Audio 4 Indoor/Outdoor Cameras - With Audio 16 channel DVR to allow future expansion Adequate storage to give him at least a month's worth of history Ability to "ZOOM" in during Live Stream or during playback for identifying faces of trespassers I have installed a LOREX LH030 4 camera/ 8channel system at my father's beauty shop and a SPECO D8RS 8channel at my place of business. The SPECO has the "ZOOM" in capability and seems like a good brand, but it is a bit out of the budget range of my customer. I had high hopes for the LOREX system, but after it was installed I found that camera feeds could only be viewed in "portrait view" in the Lorex ECO Stratus application they provide and there is no way to "ZOOM" in on the live feed or during playback. When you turn your smart phone to the side, the feed frustratingly only stays in portrait veiw and does not switch to wide screen. If necessary, I can install cameras without audio, then install a mic, and run a 2 conductor wire to the locations that he wants audio. Advice from some of you experienced installers and technicians would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
