Any home video surveillance system experts here?

[chuckp]

My current video surveillance system is getting old and I am looking for an upgrade. I have looked at some systems and checked their reviews and they seem to be hit or miss. I had an issue here lately and want to update to a much better system.

Is there anyone here that has some reccomendations on what systems are good or ones to avoid?


Thanks,

Chuck

If image quality, reliability, low light performance, good product support, longevity, and durability is a concern, I highly recommend Vivotek IP Cameras. If those factors are not a concern, most security camera kits from amazon or best buy will do just fine.

The following vivotek cameras have IR illuminators for better night vision performance, POE compatible so you only have to run one CAT5/6 cable to each camera to power it and provide feed, have the ability to push live feed over the internet to be viewable from your mobile device, and come with desktop viewing software for recording and viewing all the feeds simultaneously. Furthermore, the cameras have intelligent recording firmware that enable you to specify it to record only if a large object moves in a certain part of the screen. That way you won’t have 24 hours of footage to sort through each day.

-For outdoor wall mount I prefer the vivotek IP8335H,
-For outdoor overhang mount I prefer the vivotek FD8134V.
-For indoor ceiling mount I prefer the vivotek FD8134.
-Connect and power them via a TRENDnet TPE-S44 Switch

Might get some info on this thread, though it is a couple years old.

Thanks for the information guys. My wife is more tech savvy than me and I will have to see what she thinks about what will work for us. The Vivotek system looks promising.

The Vivotek system looks promising.

If you do end up going with the Vivotek cams and you have any questions during install/setup, let me know. I have installed dozens Vivotek IP cam systems over the years.
