C.S TEK. Posted November 20, 2004 Author Share Posted November 20, 2004 thanx for the advice peter, they sound much the same as LJD then. Talking of Y3k, i bought a covert camera in pir once, no paperwork with it and it lasted about a week, Most jobs need reliablity so i think ill stick to norbain or Vcl then. chris Trade Member As Mr Kingswood said "Dont forget the 6 P's when installing.....Proper Preperation Prevents P*** Poor Performance!!!"

Service Engineer Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 We fitted several System Q CCTV kits a few years ago, all are still going strong and have never given us or the customer any problems. Those small all black totally weather proof cameras are great. Even work under water if req`d. Never fitted one of their DVR`s though so shant comment on those. ........................................................

Paul P Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 We did fit their stuff until a warning about the non-existent returns policy. About 9 Months latter we had one of the small black cameras produce a poor picture. Returned it and they said it has a cracked lens must of been hit very hard. No visible damage to any part of the camera or bracket it was mounted at roof level on a domestic so couldn Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eddiefast Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 hello chris if you are on a buget then buy the dvr recoder from systemq its better to have something recording than nothing . if you are using high quality cameras you will not get the quality when you play back on a buget dvr. but remember a dvr is still better than a standard video recoder and it runs its self no tapes to change hope this helps you eddiefast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you don't go misadvising your customers with little comments like this. A decent time lapse VCR is better than a crappy DVR, just because something is newer and\or has 'digital' in its name doesn't make it better.

The first line of my reply was tongue in cheek, the second is quite right and it wasn't meant to be a personal attack on yourself. It was slightly pedantic, but also a common misconception among a lot of people is the fact that anything digital is better. Sorry if I caused offence to anyone, it wasn't intentional.
