Is there a comparison of Lorex vd dahua empiretec turret dome?
Any "smaller" poe mini dome turrents you sugguest? looking for a 4pack with dvr like riolink sells.
Oh helll no. This looks like crap. Ok so we buy seperates. Any smaller individual cams out there that are worth it?
Hi
@stevef22
DO check out the
cliff notes and various threads ..
We've all gone thru this learning experiences, and we have all gotten boxes of crap lying about some place which are not worth it ..
That stated:
1) Get a normal Turret models cameras .. I like to use junction boxes .. are they pretty .. not really, but they work.
2) Get larger sensor models if you are about quality of image capture, especially in low light. DO NOT look for smallest or smaller cameras .. look for cameras that work well.
3) Expect cheap kits = poor performance ..
4) Most of us do not recommend Reolink ..
5) Lorex is now owned by Dahua, and most of the cameras and kits are Dahua OEM .. they're putting in smaller sensors now so I do not like them as much any more.
6) Amcrest and EmpireTecAndy sell Dahua OEM cameras - and both are approved vendors here on the forum as they've passed the approval test.
Many of us buy from Andy to get the better cameras.
Amcrest I have also, and depending on the camera model can be decent. The better cameras I have are from Andy.
7) Dome cameras can be problematic outdoors .. most members here recommend avoiding them .. you can search the forum for reasons why ..
Advice .. determine what she wants to do with her cameras ..
ID someone? See the DORI section of the cliff notes ..
See something in low light .. do not get Reolink .. get cameras which have larger sensors ..
