I found a really low price on a camera there but was wondering if this vendor is any good?

Ive ordered from them before with average success.

1- They are slow and 'in stock" doesnt mean what you and I think it does. Figure on 3-4 weeks for delivery to CONUS
2- Make sure and be VERY clear with them on specs and model numbers via email.

You'll generally be FAR better off purchasing from forum member Andy - @EMPIRETECANDY

Agree with BRF above.
They are legit with good pricing, be sure to add shipping that's not included in price listed and
it does take a while to get orders from them.

And you will get a better price from @EMPIRETECANDY

A "really low price" camera might not be that great of a camera.

Somewhere in the space/time continuum
I avoid them because:

1) Once you add DHL shipping, their price is almost the same and often times more than EmpireTech's or BEC's.
2) EmpireTech/BEC states a 2-year warranty, and they work with the end user to get problems resolved.
3) You are buying not only a product, but also a service and support. I have never bought anything from anyone other
than EmpireTech/BEC, but I know they are very honest to deal with.
4) What other vendor will ship a new product to an end-user for test and evaluation? I doubt CCTV will do this. And yes, I find it
extremely valuable to read the reviews posted from all those who have done these for us. Many thanks for the time and effort.

Just my $0.02
