PLEASE HELP, I'm losing my mind trying to find a home system

Recommended Posts

I need a home system (thinking IP with NVR), 2 cameras to start for sure, with the ability to do 4 for sure, maybe 8 if the cost isn't much more. I always like to leave room for expansion.

 

I'm really out of luck locally, besides this one system (enclosed photo "STORM BY INAXSYS").

 

The other two pictures are quotes by 123 Security and SCW. I don't know boo about systems, so I'm really at the mercy of every salesman I talk to. I want a decent quality system that will last awhile, give me good pictures, will notify my phone when motion is detected, and cameras that will withstand the cold Wisconsin winters. I think most will, and I'm leaning towards the bullet or turret design, not a dome. Would love more input to help make up my mind. Maybe the local guy, 123 Security, and SCW are all crap. Heck, I just wouldn't know.

To be honest, I like the conversations I've had with SCW and their 3 year warranty, lifetime support, but they could be feeding me a line of bull.

 

The local guy was VERY nice, older, seems very honest, but again, is his STORM BY INAXSYS system crap? If I could enclose more than 3 pictures I would have included all the specs, but I couldn't....

 

Can ANYONE help me with this. Is there maybe another place to shop, route I should go. I would love to get this done soon before it gets hot out and I pass out running the cables in the attic.

 

I would really appreciate anything you can give me related...

 

OH, and someone else suggested this system, but on the surface, it seems too much like a big box item that folks have told me to steer clear off... https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/hd-security-camera-system-with-2k-recorder-weatherproof-cameras/LN10802-84W-1-p#overviewSection

 

Again, HELP!

I agree, the prices look great. However, then I find things like this on the web.

Is the FLIR CLOUD app the only app you can use with it for remote viewing? That app's reviews are terrible and recent.

 

Curious, what is your experience related to the Lorex systems?

Hi I have never bought a lorex system

 

You can use all dahua apps

 

Reviews are pointless ...... .... and you will find bad reviews about anything

 

see the 2 you listed first...... both just for 4 cams and nvr supply only

....over $1000.......... over $500 of list price ..... yet your considering them.

 

 

You will always loose your mind reading reviews or listening to salesmen.

 

 

But the reason a recommended lorex ....... you are new to cctv. And many people who are going to install there first system intact waste that budget and buy crap

 

I could find the same products on eBay for you ...... but I think you would like warranty or support and updates...... which you don't get from eBay

 

I am not selling you anything ...... but look at cost .... saved you $400

And on my link the system is bigger spec than the others
