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...
Guest Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 but remember a dvr is still better than a standard video recoder 35744[/snapback] In general, but it's not always. 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.

Guest PaulR Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Digital recording tends to be easier. No tapes to change, and longer recording periods, and motion detection, and often networkable. But in terms of ease of playback and recording quality I will fly in the face of popular opinion and say I still like a good quality VCR on a small (4 camera) system. Plus, Courts still usually only accept video tape recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colinthecctvman Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 i did a pub down the road from where i live and have to say the cameras where ok but certainly not the quality i thought at the time. cop security is where i order from now and have to say they are absolutly excellent. the cameras are really clear pictures and the speed dome that is also on our home i will certainly use cop all the time but not planet cctv or system q as its known. hope this is useful information colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CompostCORNER Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I fitted stacks of Q cameras to PoZiTion nightclub here in Hull 3 years ago and although my first impressions were that those things were total tosh, they have stood the test of time and are still operating flawlessy today. I managed to slice the edges down on one of these Q cameras too and fit it into the top of a RedWatch after the original cam kicked the bouquet. Just a matter of slowly shaving the resin away until it fit in the camera section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest VSS Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I've ordered a few things from this supplier and always found the service very good, I also order the small black advanced vision cameras, which are good quality barring the bracket. All in all though a 8/10 supplier for the budget gear. Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SystemQ Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 8/10 is far too low. Send me your full details and you will get our new catalogue out on Monday. Regards, Paul. Better than LJD?

Alexg Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 I have ordered many times from planet and find them excellent. The "advanced vision" cube type camera is excellent and good for domestic applications. I highly recommend there products and services. -Alex.

baywatch Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 I have used System Q for many years & like other members state the little cube camera is excellent for domestic work (agree about bracket) They usually give excellent next day service.
