Need Advice Choosing Replacement Cameras

[vmgtlexi 0]

So, now that I am replacing my new (but totally crappy and malfunctioning) Samsung cameras, I need to bounce some thoughts around here. What are your thoughts?

 

[*] Other than trial & error, how does one get a handle on finding reliable, long-lasting camera brands?

 

[*] Do the installers among us have names that they absolutely trust for reliability and many years of steady performance?

 

My general requirements are:

 

- IR cameras

- Priced less than $300

- varifocal approx 3-10ish plus or minus

- Dual voltage 12VDC/24VAC

 

I know this is open-ended, but appreciate any and all comments and suggestions on these topics.

Go with CBC camera lineup - http://computarganz.com/index.cfm - most cameras are below your price range and all come with iron clad three years warranty.. They have excellent tech support as well.
