Anybody familiar with GW Security systems?

[AsadK]

I am eyeing on GW Security USA camera system. I was wondering if anyone knows what's different between their 42 series and 55 series NVRs?

Don't waste your money....you will notice most of the posts are old so that should give you some insight into the quality....they overcharge for cameras on less than ideal MP/sensor ratios.

Anyone used GW Security cameras?

Why GW Security ?

First, no sales tax and they give a 10% discount. second, some of their bullets cameras are IP67 rated and do have built in mic. third, i am getting tired of Lorex.

These will be worse than Lorex. Most of their models have the ring of IR that is very dated technology and just about everything they offer is on the 1/2.8" sensor.

What is your goal of the system - general look around or identify capabilities?

Why are you tired of Lorex ?

What makes you think GW will be better ?

10% discount .. wait for Black Friday time period if you are needing a discount.

Remember to also check the sensor size ..

IP67 is nice, should be able to find Dahua OEM or Hikvision OEM cameras that meet that spec if you need it, and also .. the way you install it is more important in terms of water / heat issues .. see the notes on di-electric gel and what we do wrapping up the pig tail, this also is why I really like junction boxes

FWIW -

example of some of GW security IP cameras :


OEM .. some of the models look like what Swann also has .. Chinese OEM perhaps


so far, spot checking .. looks like the cameras are significantly more than I would like to spend for a small sensor camera.

Yep, you can get better quality for cheaper/same price.
