Guest BellMan371 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 So nothing about actual performance and fit for purpose then?The remote looks nice. Pretty objective comparison then eh? to be fair i have been to a site where a dm 16 channel unit ds2 went faulty six times in the space of one month and yes the unit was out of warranty but no i didnt install it i took it on as a take over system but after the owner got fed up with its unreliability they asked me for a more reliable unit which i gave a price for them and has since been changed to the dvr i use. it has far out weighed the troubke they had with the dm sprite and they have asked me to price another job for the new place they are opening up (as its a resturant) and they want the same type dvr as they have now. so you see brand name isnt everything in this world :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barooga Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 i choose by the look of the packaging Seems to be a crucial feature. How remiss of me to overlook it. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BellMan371 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 your all forgeting the single most important thing with a dvr - event managment , nothing beats the motion detected thumbnails on the DM system thats if you rely opn motion detection which i dont i have always said motion is ok if the area is not busy but a carpark where vehicles and and people are moving about all the time, thyen constant record for me all the time.

Guest anguscanplay Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 still think a static cctv system recording the route would be better :!: dvr could go in a private office and machine set to motion quite high sensitivity the audit trail would be from the motion recording. change of heart there ?

It went faulty 6 times, but significantly whilst out of warranty? Just how old was the unit? And are you inferring it had been constantly playing up or just suddenly died? Either way you paint a slightly biased picture. Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make your mind up. And comparing the chaps house to a carpark is hardly a sensible comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterR Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Make your mind up.And comparing the chaps house to a carpark is hardly a sensible comparison. Hi Bellman Can you confirm what product from the X-Vision range you had a problem with, when you had the problem and exactly what the problem was please? I work for them and would like to help. Also to put it in to context, we sell 3000+ cameras a month and 500+ DVRs and growing, during the last 3 years we have been working towards a perfect product range without problems, but the very nature of electronics and the manufacturing of electronics means that there will be some product that fails, even when it is very expensive, and has one of the most famous brands in the CCTV world behind it (eg. the DM unit thats mentioned).
