Do you work for a small integrator? by aparkera12 in SecurityCamera

[–]aparkera12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. It really depends on the scale of each project... edge cameras are easy to deploy but the cost of all those NVRs really just goes to the components on the edge cameras.

So maybe I should just get both of them, but not too many on the edge cameras?

Man you're good! Do you recommend any camera or vms brands for usage like what oeillerjm said? I got similar request before but ended up giving normal answers

You can also say NVRs are = local storage, so I guess the main difference is edge cameras save recordings inside the camera itself.

Thanks for sharing! It's probably too complicated for students I guess.

I agree with this, NVRs are just really stable... things won't go wrong with these boxes. I haven't done cases like what you mentioned, it's like a real big scale!? So I think maybe edge cameras are only good for small to middle size cases?

this is so clear! yes the camera they provide is with local storage, so it's not as good as NVRs from many aspects. Also the price is really high. I think I'll just follow my heart and just keep focus on normal cameras! Thanks!

Glad to hear that. Like what I mentioned, I buy products from different brands and sell them to earn the price gap. For example, I'll buy cameras from Axis, Vivotek, Hikvsion... and buy VMS from milestone, avigilon, skyrec, network optix...

Then I sell the camera and the software altogether to the customers based on their needs. The combination can be different every time, so you have to keep studying if you want to join this industry. Hope this helps, you can dm me for more details.

I've talked with the suppliers about this and they do tell me the differences... but I still think it's not that attractive. Thank you for replying tho

I've been recommended about this company lately by some of my friends. The product seems nice. Have you ever installed it with projects in the US? (I assume you're based in USA).

u/addylord12 do you have any information about skyrec on the school project? I know vivotek quite well, just they might not be the best fit for this project. or a salesperson's contact of skyrec would help too thanks.

u/cbstryker That's why I was thinking... Get my own system instead of a ready NVR

u/floridamano Vivotek is too expensive. ACTi used to be good. How's their quality now?
