Anyone tried Security Camera Warehouse (SCW) NVRs and Cameras?

I have HikVision and Dahua systems. I have generally found the HikVision systems reliable and the software reasonably put together. I have found the Dahua Starlight turret cameras to have great night vision (Why I decided to try them on recommendation from Nayr), easy to install and the remote adjustable zoom and focus was also nice to have over the HikVision dome cameras. But the Dahua software is absolute crap. And over time, parts of the system (Like line crossing or emailing a photo) that used to work, have stopped working. And one of my 5 cameras died. Documentation is worse than the software. I will never buy this brand again. As much as I have no major complaints about the HikVision hardware or software, the track record and practice of Chinese spying bothers me. So I have begun to look for alternatives. Cost is not really an issue. What is an issue is quality, as the lack of is has cost me a lot of time. SCW's systems seem to be well documented, come with good support and they focus on quality. Yes, they are Chinese made, but it seems they have influence over the software. Has anyone bought them or know of a review comparison to HikVision?
