    Need recommendation please

    It's been almost a couple years since I have been on here and I moved since then. My previous neighborhood had over $100,000 in tailgates, wheels, tires, etc stolen off vehicles in one night! What's crazy was it was a "crew" with multiple vehicles hitting higher end neighborhoods and although...

    Need PTZ recommendation please

    I read through the 2 MP starlight list, there is a ton of PTZ's listed. I even read the new review on the mini PTZ. There is a lot to consider. Here is what I currently know I prefer: 1.) Prefer it white (house is white and will blend in better) 2.) Prefer it be all metal, or mostly metal...

    Installer recommendation for Texas (Houston area)

Some times you have to pick and choose your battles. I called multiple "security" companies that were recommended by Homeadviser.com and every single...

If the same guys are over here, I apologize for the repeat. Just hoping to get as many opinons and feedback as possible. So to make...

    Need camera recommendations for specific situation

    I have been researching cameras for about 6 months off and on. Well over 30 hours of reading during that time. In the beginning, almost bought a cookie cutter POS system from Costco, but luckily waited to do more research. For awhile I was stuck on Lorec (which research showed later was Dahua)...

    Hello fellow camera enthusiasts! I have been researching camera systems for the last 6 months off and on, almost purchased some systems I now feel I would have regretted to some extent, but lucky through persistence of research found my way here. I am very torn as to what setup I should do for...
