    Pelco Endura Problems

    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.
  2. 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.
