Anyone used GW Security cameras?

I'm upgrading my cameras and ran across this company called GW Security on Amazon. All of their all-in-one packages have all 5* reviews and their camera specs look very good. The individual camera's also have pretty good reviews. I'm wondering how they compare to Hikvision.

Either of these will blow that one away for just a few $$ more.

I will give you my quick thoughts on GW security, I own a few of their Bullets, They are compatible with my Dahua NVR, they have given me NO issues and I toasted one of the connectors with a POE(MY OWN) problem and melted the pigtail on the CAM. Their support was very good and shipped me out a new one.
I know a Installer who uses their gear all the time and likes it. They are expensive and the Night time quality of the ones I own is not so good. As @looney2ns says I would spend a little more and get something tested and proven.

Thanks. Im upgrading from Hosafe/dlink crap, so not gonna take much to improve. I'd like to get a decent hikvision or dahua but seems like everything I see is grey market stuff. Most confusing things to purchase.
