Thank you, am guessing Hikvision is somewhere at the top of your list - only problem is that the only decent prices are from AliExpress and that takes for ever to be delivered.
I read on here that some Lorex are rebranded Dahuas, and Dahua is meant to be good?

@Varun12, on the blue bar at the top of the site, click in Wiki, then look at the bottom for the link to the Cliff Notes document. It's a summary of the brand/models of cameras most folks here are using, where to get from, etc.

Welcome Varun12,

Definitely avoid the Reolink, numerous members have tried it and found it to not be as good of a value as they were hoping for.

Aristobrat has an excellent recommendation, do take some time to determine your needs and take a look at the notes

Chances are those systems you noted may not fully meet your needs, so if you're not in a rush take a little time to determine what will work best for you.

Tbh, I am sort of in a rush. Am flying in a week and have limited time to take up some of the deals in op. That's why I posted on here.
But I appreciate the links. Checking them out now.

Do you think you actually would have time to install them? I would think you'd be better off waiting until you return to complete this.

Am not buying the system for myself but to take with me to the country that am flying to. It was requested by someone over there.
 
Ugh, you're in a no-win situation. If you're limited to the choices in your first post, I'd think either the Lorex or Swann would be more stable/supported than Reolink. Stinks you don’t have time to research and order better stuff, but no real way to do that in a week.
