acesinghit wrote:This question is for the CCTV tuners out there. I'm looking to purchase one of these complete built-up home camera systems and install it myself. Kind of like I'm buying myself a Christmas gift. I'm seeing basically two types:
1. BNC type
2. PoE type
Both have 720p, 1080p and 2K ( and even 4K) resolution cameras. Both have weather proof IP66 water rating and both have bullet, dome and PTZ compatible cameras. The Lorex and Swann websites says you can download an app on your mobile phone and pc to gain access to the DVR. Swann calls it SwannLink and Lorex calls it FLIR Cloud.
Questions:
1. Are these good systems to buy in terms of brand, reliability, after sales support, ease of use etc?
2. Do you need a static IP address from your ISP?
3. Since the DVR is connected to your home router/switch and has 24/7 internet access, are these systems vulnerable to hacking?
4. What if you go the wireless route, can a sneaky techy neighbour hack into your camera/DVR?
5. If your house is broken into and the DVR is damaged or stolen, is there a cloud storage app that you can retrieve footage from (in other words is there a possibility to save footage on an offsite cloud server?)
6. Is it overkill to get 1080p and higher resolution which dramatically increases the price?
7. I see Lorex is advertising colour night vision in some of their higher end systems, anyone can tell if this is marketing or its really what they claim it is?
I know Pricesmart and several other electronics stores have been selling these systems locally for years so I want some real local input before I decide to buy. Thanks for any help you all can give on the subject.

POE CAN be run over cat5e and cat6.
You do not need a router to send electrical signals. you need a poe switch or poe injector
I dont even want to know what you talking about storing energy on a camera, its not a FACKING battery.
Op ask about static ip from ISP not for the cameras.
Wireless 802.11ac/n has to do with speed and NOTHING to do with network security...any network can be hacked with the proper knowledge,tools and time.
I could go on but we have already established the fact you dont even know what you talking about so please stop commenting on things you know nothing about...you just confusing the fack out of everyone
OP i hope all the information that i just corrected has been useful to you.
