Not sure where to post this question/feedback request. I am still looking through the resource guide but I know Black Friday deals are upon us. I am looking for a surveillance system for my 10K foot warehouse. I am not looking for anything crazy, I just want cameras inside and out side of the building. Came across what seems like a decent basic setup for my needs but wanted feedback from the pro's here on IPcamtalk...! Lorex is running what seems like a good deal for Black Friday. ( 4K Ultra HD IP 16-Channel NVR System with 10 Outdoor 4K (8MP) IP Cameras, 130FT Night Vision, 3TB Hard Drive, Smart Motion Detection and Smart Home Voice Control ). What is the general feedback on this? Good, bad and ugly. Thanks guys! Off to read some more!

I would read up before buying.
Not certain on the specs on those cameras but generally speaking 4K isn’t very good in low light. Also those are fixed focus nit adjustable. Doubtful each location will require the same focal point.

Hi @Neilb75
From the camera's spec sheet:
"Image Sensor 4K (8MP) 1/1.8” CMOS"
That's good news as it is a newer and larger sensor. Dahua OEM - looks like with some "AI" features and no IVS. We should have some reviews by members on the Dahua OEM International model which appears to be related however it has IVS features. Look for reviews and 8MP AI ...
Remember to decide if you also need junction boxes, as this will be a good time for a discount on those.
Definitely take a little bit of time to determine what sort of functionality you want from a security camera system.

I'd check what Montavue has available... don't recall if Costco carries many kits will larger number of cameras
Thank you Mat. Looked at montavue and found smth similar at $3230. I was just wondering since montavue and lorex etc are dahua products, where should i best buy a set like this. I see some on aliexpress.... maybe?

Hi @magjistari
Aliexpress is loaded with Chinese market cameras which have hacked firmware for English.. I highly recommend using caution going that route. If you want to check out Andy ( empiretecandy here ) - he has a Aliexpress and Amazon store and sells quality goods. ( see the vendor section here ).
Otherwise, Montavue is a US based vendor which has good Dahua OEM products.
Black Friday 2019 is around the corner!
Black Friday is coming very soon, many guys ask us if have any promotion, the answer is YES! The discount will be from Black Friday to Cyber Monday, So have enough time to select. :headbang: Will post more details later next week for the plan on Amazon/Aliexpress shop/Buy from us via paypal...
What do you guys think of this 16 Camera Ultra HD 4K NVR Commercial/Residential Surveillance System with 8 4K AI Bullet Cameras and 4 4K AI Vandal Proof Dome Cameras – Color Night Vision, 200ft IR, 4K @ 30fps, H.265 – Montavue MTIP1216384KBP44KDP-AI | Montavue
vs this 4K Ultra HD IP NVR System with 16 4K 8MP Audio Dome Cameras, 250FT Night Vision
None of them records 30fps at 4k resolution. Its meant for a bar/restaurant surveillance system. At over 90 degree view, I dont think I will need more than 12 cameras. Preferably I would use dome cameras not bullet, as most of the installations are at about 10 feet height. I dont know whats the major difference in hardware between the two, since bullet seem to give a little more room to the assembly.

Hi magjistari
The montavue kit has newer models of cameras and AI + IVS features ( Dahua OEM term ) compared to the Lorex kit.
Montavue should have also kits with the 8K domes if you want those for indoors. Outdoors I would avoid dome models as they are more troublesome over time.
