LE5538 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Hi All,Have got a contract in the UK to install a high-end large residential IP CCTV system. Am just trying to settle on a brand and one of my suppliers (CCTV Direct) here in the UK stocks UNIVIEW kit. I understand this is very high-end kit and the specs are impressive and fits the bill for the design I have created. However, I cannot seem to find much in the way of user/installer reviews. Anyone used it and can give me a heads up?Happy New Year to all.Thanks,Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go as far to say Hik and Dahua are a mid range product, Uniview is more base product bit like Floureon or Swan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise agree swann floureon Hik and dahua both have a base line kit just like uniview , I don't use any of the stuff though except hik anpr which in terms of cost and product is better than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I dont rate any of the the Uniview kit that I have seen. That said I have some very old system q stuff that is rebadged Hik that I would have rated quite poor at the time compared with the likes of Mobotix and Axis which was what I was installing top end at the time. There is a market for cheap end CCTV and if you look how far Hik have come because they sold cheap tat, there is always room for another cheaper brand for Sony to sell their seconds too.

Filipe Andrade Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I agree on the bit of cheap (right about this) but compare quality / price is on the same level as HIK/Dah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWCFC Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Anyone have any more info on this kit? Guy I work with raves about Uniview and the images he showed me on his phone do look very good. They seem to offer a better value for money compared to the other products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
