Is this kit worth buying?

[NigelL]

Hi all,

I was talking to my local locksmith about getting locks changed when I move next month, and we started talking about my plans for a smart home (locks, cameras and lights for now). He told me that they have a kit available, on special right now. It's currently on sale for $500 regularly $800. I know I'm new to ths whole thing, but I can't seem to track down the camera model.

The kit is this one
The Systems Depot : HIKT7108Q2TA (T7108Q2TA) - Hikvision

But I can't seem to find any details for the camera model DS-2CE56D0T-IR

According to the Ebay listing I saw, it talks about COAX which I wasn't expecting.

Is this worth buying? Any pointers?

no...that is crazy overpriced for a tvi kit...first start doing research on the difference between tvi/cvi hd over analog and IP cameras..

I'm located in Canada so the pricing might be kind of skewed if you're used to US pricing.

Thanks Fenderman, I appreciate the pointer. I know I have a lot to learn.
