Grandstream GXV3672 V2 worth it?

[kwitiii]

Hello IPCT,

I'm looking to set up some security cameras at my house and came across a set of 6 GXV3672_HDs (the 720p model) in the price range of 200-250 dollars. I believe 6 cameras are more than I need, but I'm not sure I'd be able to get 4 cameras better suited in the same price range. Are these cameras worth getting, or should I wait and get some dahua starlights?

datasheet can be foundhere

I'm hoping to get away without having a full NVR, I'm in the process of picking up a dell server where I am hoping to archive "motion detected" videos during times that we're away from the house and allow review of these, and to allow live view of multiple cameras through vpn connection to my network.

You could do a lot better given those specs with Dahua 2MP Starlights and save a few bucks at the same time.

Avoid those are old poor-performing units.

I believe it's the entire lot for 200 not each.

Any good distributors for the dahuas in canada? I should also mention that it's not uncommon for -40 temperatures here (Celsius or Fahrenheit, take your pick)

It was for the entire lot.

Duh.. my bad. Still I'd pass.

you might consider cams with a heater circuit, like this one:
