Is this overpriced ?

[Joe Shmoe 0]

Hi folks.

 

Looking for a 4-cam set-up to protect my home, and this seems to cover what I want from a system.

 

Cant work out if its overpriced though? Can anyone guide me?

If it is overpriced, can you suggest an alternative to this that works out cheaper ?

I see you can the same cameras and a simular DVR here:

3 x Sony Effio 700tvl 50m IR special offer for £226

1 x Sony Effio 700tvl 50m IR for £80

1 x AVTECH DVR 793 H.264, Full D1 High Resolution Real Time Recording, 4 Channel CCTV Camera DVR DVD-RW

1000gb memory = £275

So I guess I may have answer my own quesion that the first one was overpriced? Unless anyone can see a difference etc?

Look, I have found the same thing (but with dome cameras) for only £525etc

 

Not that I really know what I am doing, but it doesn't say at what frame-rate the DVR can record 4 cameras at?

 

I thought for best picture you need at least 7fps ? Will this machine do it ?

Hi Tom.

 

Okay, I see what you mean. The DVR is just a re-branded budget make ?

So I should go for a dahua DVR, but my choice of cameras is okay?

 

Am I right in thinking that some of these websites constructing these 4-cam kits etc, so they can chuck a really rubbish DVR in with say Sony cameras to fool you into thinking you're getting something great by trading off the sony name ?
