Thanks for the Info... Great reading here. The more and more I read I think I will go with the Dahua NVR5232-16p-4KS2E 32ch with 16 PoE ports max support 12MP Resolution 4K NVR Reader
I take it that these units have multiable hard drive bays? and I have to add my own HD later?
Is this the store to by from in Aliexpress... Empire Technology Co., Ltd That is where the link took from in the
Cliff Notes.
When you are in Aliexpress there are seems to be alot of sellers selling the same thing. Looks like Dahua Franchised Store has alot of good reviews also.
Hi
@Kendive
If you're not under an immediate threat, do take some time to look at the cliff notes and the reviews of cameras here by members.
While the Cliff notes are heavily influenced by the better international Dahua OEM cameras which came out when we were putting the notes together - the basic principles apply to other OEMs and brands.
Also the "Dahua Franchised Store" - is just another vendor selling Dahua OEM products, not any more or less official than others.
Remember, in general be cautious with randomly selecting vendors as I have seen a significant amount of misrepresentation of products on vendor's pages on Ali, Ebay, Amazon, and others. Also we have seen a number of vendors game the ratings system, especially those based in China. Some brands have been especially bad - to the point of us, as a community, basically banning those brands from promoting their products here ( because they are junk brands and abusive / fraudulent companies )
I recommend you only go with vendors which members here recommend.
Note, Andy at EmpireTech is listed in the vendor section here and you can message him via email. He also does provide IPCT members with a slight discount, as we try to help each other out.
On the Dahua NVR5232-16p-4KS2:
NVRx2xx = holds 2 HDDs
NVRxx32 = 32 channels ( think camera feeds )
NVRxxx-16p-xx = 16 POE ports
