    Starlight vs HIK turrets

    Hi Andy, I've came across some of your cameras on Amazon and had a question or two. I have several Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 4mm 4mp Turret cameras and think they've got some great day and night quality. However I have heard some great things about the new Starlight cameras recently and have...

    Newbie wants wireless security system

    Yep I'm in the market for an alarm system as well, biggest thing I see with most of these systems is that they don't come with enough extra devices for most homes.. and when you do look for the extra devices it's hard to find any for the system. Hoping to find a good wireless system.. I...

    Cameras not working after power outage

    That's one thing I don't have for my NVR that I now wish I did.. Or I could get in there and figure it out easily. I'll likely have to get the guy who put them in back here to fix the problem since he has everything you'd need.

    Cameras not working after power outage

    I had someone put these up for me and configure everything, I wasn't here the when he was doing that. I'll have to get him to come out here when he's free and fix the problem I guess. I wasn't sure if it was a simple reset ( unplug and plug back in) the NVR or if it was a little more technical...

    Cameras not working after power outage

    Hey everyone, I'll start off by saying that I have absolutely no Idea how to trouble shoot this as I'm not a pro with computers or configuration etc. So we had a power outage the other day in my area, I was on nights and got home to find that I am now unable to view my hikvision cameras online...

    Quick question!

    Ok just a really quick question here.. I have a good chunk of my wiring done for my new system, but I'm curious to know if a cellar in my basement would be considered too cool or damp as a place to have my NVR? Or if I should simply stick to having it in the main portion of the house where the...

    Checking car doors at 4AM

    Ahh I know this is exactly the type of shit I'm going to be seeing once my system is up and running.. caught 4 so far, so I'm sure there's more. Handing those pictures to the police should be a positive thing, 9 times out of 10 the idiots doing that stuff are well known to the cops and are...

    Guy checking for unlocked cars

    I've got a mixed bag of 2.8 and 4mm lens cameras. That was hands down the hardest part for me... picking a proper lens for each location, even then I likely won't have gotten it right!. I saw a few samples on YouTube of this camera and it really didn't take much extra lighting from complete...

    Guy checking for unlocked cars

    Are you sure you aren't living in my neighborhood?? lol.. sounds pretty similar to the bs that has been happening here, and I live in a small country town!. Really impressed with the quality, those are the exact cameras I just ordered.. can't wait to get them installed as I know I'll be getting...

    Not impressed..

    Jack B Nimble, I will most definitely NOT pay till all is said and done!, I made that very clear to him and he agreed that I would not have any issues doing so. I'll be sure to throw up some pictures and a review when all is said and done.

    Not impressed..

    Very appreciated Zero-degrees!, no harm done. Things can have a huge variance in price here in Ontario, so it always pays to shop around. I offered to help run wires which he appreciated so that gave me a bit of a break in labor.. I will definitely keep note on the firmware as you mentioned, and...

    I suppose I should also clarify for you @Jack B Nimble what I'm getting also.. The cameras are 4mp Hikvision Turrets with EXIR DS-2CD2342WD-I, Running CAT6 cable, 3TB HD, Hikvision 8ch NVR DS-7608NI-E2/8P obviously I'll have the remote viewing and all of that fun stuff too which is a key thing...

    Not impressed..

    You most definitely can, I was right around the $1300 dollar mark. That's fully wired, installed, programmed etc. Basically everything I requested which I personally thought was very reasonable after shopping around and talking to other people.

    Not impressed..

    I apologize for such a late response to this! I didn't even notice the message notification :laugh: To answer those responses, it's simply been VERY frustrating on my part trying to get set up with a system.. I got completely screwed by the first installer ( JS Lemac Computers) Scott had the...

    Well for those in Ontario Canada I'll save you one hell of a headache by telling you to avoid going to ADI, Tri Star and Smartech in Toronto for your camera needs.. just drove an hour and a half in rough traffic today to visit these stores to finally get a complete camera system which I've had...

    Looking for a complete new camera system

    I absolutely agree, we all have bills to pay and money to earn.. some people wouldn't think twice on this, but for me specifically I've really gotta watch the dollar signs on this purchase due to ongoing renovations. I just never thought something could go so high for the average homeowner...

    Looking for a complete new camera system

    You guys are absolutely right, the mark up is insane with this seller... I have absolutely zero intentions of spending anywhere near that kind of cash on a system, after all this isn't the white house!. It's definitely an eye opener hearing things from you guys who already have systems and know...

    Looking for a complete new camera system

    Thank you very much for all the insight and information!, very appreciative of that. I'll be sure to keep all of these things in mind. I actually had a company come by today to give me a quote, I was pretty shocked at the price... but he did tell me they were a higher priced company off of...

    Looking for a complete new camera system

    Thanks for the info!. I figured I'd be somewhere in that ballpark dollars wise for what I'm looking at. I'm on 12hr continental shifts so I want something I can depend on for when I'm not home for some length of time. I have excellent neighbors, but they can't babysit my home all night long...

    Looking for a complete new camera system

    Hey everyone, all the way from Southern Ontario, Canada. So I'll start off with the fact that I very recently got jerked around by someone who I previously had a camera system ordered from... I ordered December 1st, paid in full as agreed, and still until this past week no install job... I took...

    Give DOD-tech Canada a try, Specifically this model... http://dod-tech.ca/product/dod-ls460w/ I've had the LS460W in my truck for the last couple of years and it has been nothing shy of excellent. Both day and night vision is clear as can be.. plus the camera itself has a lot of other...
