< $1k 8ch NVR Security System

dergrert on 01/08/2021 - 21:05

Hi legends,

We had an incident last night out the front of our house last night and of course it was in a black spot of our current 4 camera set up. So I am wanting to get an 8 camera NVR set up.

We have a Swann system at the moment, the picture is adequate, but the bloody thing keeps cutting out at random times so we need to reset it often. For this reason alone, I don't think I will get another Swann system, unless it recommended here.

Can anyone recommend me some sub $1000k systems as I have no idea what to look for. If I really have too, I will stump up extra.

Thanks in advance.

Reolink seems to be the budget option.
Hikvision or dahua for quality.

You will definitely have to spend more if you are looking for a quality Hikvision/Dahua 8 camera PoE setup with enough storage. For under 3k (excluding installation) you might be able to get all 8 cameras, NVR, HDDs, cabling.

  This! Only for a $1K, you're lucky get an 8 channel NVR & HDD plus maybe 1 x camera that is 4MP

    Anything wrong with the reolink options? 4x 4k cameras with 8ch nvr for around $600?

      I don't know much about that brand tbh. I am focusing on verifying the expense regarding Hikvision and Dahua (same company) will be over-budget. I have recommended Svann as my comments below

        @vinni9284: From what I've read in the past reolink seems on par with Swann for a lot les $ but I've not tried them yet.

        @teacherer: Based on my experiences, I have had Swann for many years with no issue. Everything is original and still running well at this stage (even HDD). I purchased this kit at HN for around $800 in 2014 and running 24/7. Now it's poor compared with current (~720p) but does the job for now

Sorted! .. unless you are striving for POE?

Edit: I have had a Swann DVR for several years with no issue. This bundle has 6 x 5MP bullet Cameras and has 2TB HDD. All cabling inclusive for under $500. Another $300 will get you 2 more cameras & cabling for under $1K
So, it's a BNC 18 meter connection. PoE still need a physical connection to the Camera .. and start forking out for it? for an extra 3MP .. that you maybe lucky to see the number plates 60 meters away?
A Hikvision and Dahua NVR with a HDD will cost under a $1K alone
So not sure why I got negged?
