I need to replace my el cheapo ip cameras, which have served me well for about 5 years, and saw some recommendations about Dahua and Hikvision which I find on Ebay at prices that wont break the bank.
I'm particularly looking at the IPC-HFW4431M-AS-I2 and DH-IPC-HFW1320S-W as they are in my price range.
What I notice is that they have all the warning in the listing that the firmware is not upgradable.
Would this be a reason to avoid them at all costs or not.
The price range I'm looking at is $70 to $90, so if you should have better recommendations in that price range feel welcome to post here.
I need probably 2 wireless and 4 wired cameras, but I'm really not looking for the top of the range product, as it is more a deterrent than a real observation system, but a clear picture is of course always preferable.
Another requirement is the memory card slot which both types I posted have.
Thanks in advance.
