    NO. I have two large Endura systems and they both have always been buggy. I have Pelco remote in all the time and they can't fix issues and say it a known or new bug and a fix should be coming out soon.

     

    I'm getting ready to tear one out and replace it with a Panasonic ND400 system running ASM software.

     

    I will have a ton of Pelco Endura hardware on Ebay soon.

     

    As with any network CCTV system, buy good switches! Everyone loves Cisco, so we use the SG500X-24P as a standard.

    Someone with a small budget will have to go with a cheap package. Samsung has some good analog kits for the money. $1000 for a DVR and 8 cameras. That's like getting the DVR for free. But it won't even compare to a 1.3MP network setup in picture quality.

     

    Analog Pros: Price and the camera wires can be ran much longer(up to 4000ft with Balan) than the 330ft(longer with PoE extenders) network limit. No network knowledge needed.

     

    Network Pros: Image quality and system control.

     

    I just quoted a 16 network camera system to a hospital. This is my cost on the system:

     

    16 channel NVR 2MP/CH 4TB Storage = $1,900

    1.3MP WDR Dome Camera = 13 x $400 = $5,200

    2MP WDR Dome Camera = 3 x $700 = $2,100

    Cisco PoE Switch = 2 x $500 = $1000

    Surge/UPS = $300

    Plenum CAT5e = 6 x $200 = $1,200

    Labor = 160hrs x $50 = $8000

    -----------------------------------------------

    Total Cost = $19,700

    25% markup makes the sell price = $24,625

     

    So $15,000 is very normal for a good network CCTV system.
