very likely.. but I guess it depends on what you were looking for.. they dont look half bad for what you paid, but saying you spent $230 on 3 cameras you didnt pay much.. you surely got the bottom of barrel in performance and features and that rarely works out well.. depends on how well your environment copes, I paid more for better cameras so I could save money/power on the storage backend, as a result my setup is not very tolerant to any of the cheap ass cameras Ive played with simply because they are so feature poor, and unstable.. (i record 24/7 via FTP an embedded linux server that uses 5w tops).. I also find great value in some features like alarm IO, OSX Support, etc, where others wont.
but other guys here run a big BI server can use all sorts of cheap stuff and get good results because they offloaded all the hard work and nice features to BI with its vast hardware support.. so it can be very subjective.. if all you want is a quality h264 video stream for your NVR then you can use all sorts of cheap stuff out there without much trouble.. heck you can have the entire interface be in mandarin and it wont make a lick of difference to

We cant even convince some people that FoScams are worthless because in some very rare situations they work well enough that people are happy with em.
