CCTVINSTALLER 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Ive seen the new budget DVRs they're shifting on some flyers ive been getting. Looks interesting, hoping to take a look at it tomorrow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 17, 2005 if they use the same cameras they do on this side, id stay very clear of them .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooperman 0 Posted May 18, 2005 Went to IFSEC yesterday, Don't know what hurts more today, my head or my feet! Only managed to get round about fifty stands so far, so it looks like I might have to go back again tomorrow (still 650+ to go!!!). I stopped counting DVR's when it went past 150. Strange how they all begin to look the same after a while, apart from the ones built into 15" LCD monitors. Seen enough 'bullets' to start a price war Can't decide .... beer or aspirin ....

Cooperman 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Bacardi!!! ... now why didn't I think of that (Mrs. C's favourite tipple... sorry, drink). Had to blow out the 2nd visit today s**t happens Not sure about the passing Manchester bit rory, if I went to Birmingham from London via Manchester, I'd have to set out the week before As it is, driving to the show was a five hour round trip, so I suppose at least that's one thing I won't be missing today. Still all the more time to read through the brochures, brochures ... so many brochures! Anyone else managed to get there, and what did you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 19, 2005 I hate brochures (just give me a link darnit!). I got some now I have to pick up from the PO. they are piling up .. and i dont even know who sent them ,, plus theylll probably try to charge me customs duty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frosted 0 Posted May 19, 2005 yeah i very much enjoyed it was awsome. lots of products. however i just dont know who to trust and use as a supplier. thinking copsecurity or y3k frosted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rory 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Dont know about y3K but COP is just another OEM importer of very cheap Products ... so they arent anything special ... But if you are targeting the low end market then they should work okay .. over this side though they are considered a stay away product, I used them for the first products I ever sold ..... What they do is have a main branch in Asia that buys wholesale and then sends them off to the reps in the UK and the USA ...same as Eclipse CCTV in Miami does .. except I touch eclipse products while I wont go near COPs anymore .. at least on this side of the globe ...

Cooperman 0 Posted May 19, 2005 Shame about the brochures rory, I was going to send you all my old 'archive' collection Hey frosted, I don't deal with any of the far east import companies so I can't make any recommendations. That said, I did have a chat with a guy who imports GSP equipment from Korea, and I was more than pleasantly impressed. No idea what the gear (or the company) is like, but if you check out their website, it's at http://www.ezCCTV.com I haven't looked myself yet, so don't shoot the messenger if it's a load of old you know what.
