Andre Winegar: No where you cant get a good CCTV system for $300.00 you cant even get an ok one for that price.A good IR camera will run about $300~800 per one (if you want to to see over 70 feet outdoors)Not all CCTV equipment is created equal, in fact there are many options that offer varying levels of performance much like the automobile industry. In the world of DVRs you can buy the equivalent of a $1,000 golf cart and a $350,000 Ferrari and everything in between. Both have 4 wheels and windshield but that is where the similarities end, it’s under the hood that counts. And using the car analogy you would be getting a golf cart that need the engine replaced if you spend $300.Just like any other consumer electronic in the end you get what you pay for. Most retailers and sellers make about a 40-80% profit margin, this is after costs like shipping and overhead. That means when you buy a product that costs $60.00 the manufacturer usually has only spent $30 to build it wh! ich simply means it’s not a good product and will probably have a working life of about 2 months. There is a reason these products are 1/10 of the price of good and reliable DVR brand names. The type of seller these products attract are online sellers (ebay) and will make profits margins as low as 2% which means they can’t afford to offer service or allow for RMAs (returns). Cheap products are like disposable razors they are NOT designed to last for a long time and you will end up replacing them every 2 months.Now some products can be made cheaply like ipod cases, screen protectors, and other simple products with no moving parts or electronics. DVRs need to be good quality as they run 24/7 (20X more than the average electronic device) and process anywhere from 30-480 frames per second which in a year is over 15 billion images, and a good DVR should last 3-5 years.A true DVR requires years of research and development to facilitate the seamless integration of both the har! dware and software. DVRs are highly complex systems that must ! run 24/7, processing millions of images per day and are one of the few products that can’t be made both well and cheaply. Cheap and inexpensive products like Q-see, Swan, Lorex, and other low grade DVR’s sold by Tiger Direct, Newegg, Sams Club, are not used by security professionals and should only be used to to see if the baby is sleeping and even they cost over $300 and don't offer nightvision.. You mase well get a web cam and point it at the area you want to see.Here are the websites of some good DVR and CCTV camera brands.http://www.ascendentgroup.com (AVP-4120)http://www.honeywell.comhttp://www.pelco.com/ (DX-4000)http://www.bosch.comLink to a good IR camera: http://dealer.ascendentgroup.com//dvr-ir-cameras/a...Two good economical DVRs I would recommend are Ascendent's AVP-4120 DVR or Pelco's DX-400. They will allow you to view all your cameras instantly from anywhere in the world using either IE, or a client software. The AVP-4120 uses the latest H.264 codec to im! prove streaming and recording time, and will allow PCs and Apple computers to remotely view cameras. These are the DVRs I would recommend that are good quality and affordable.Hope this Helps,If you need anything else feel free to email me atwilliammorales93@ymail.com...Show more
