home alarm companies

LaView is a company that officially re brands Hikvision CCTV equipment. So the hardware is really top notch stuff and that explains the much higher cost compared to Reolink and Amcrest. They will also customise kits to your exact needs, so you can get the best bank for your buck. Audio in/out, alarm in/out, advanced motion detection, NAS/FTP support, you name it, this kit’s got it. By the way did I mention it supports 4K HDMI output?Imagine hooking up this NVR to your 4K TV and see all 8 cameras simultaneously on your high res TV. That’s quite impressive, I tell you.

Audio in/out, alarm in/out, advanced motion detection, NAS/FTP support, you name it, this kit’s got it. By the way did I mention it supports 4K HDMI output?Imagine hooking up this NVR to your 4K TV and see all 8 cameras simultaneously on your high res TV. That’s quite impressive, I tell you. PROS:Excellent image quality with 4MP cameras, max 8MP supportedWide 3rd party camera support through ONVIF standardIR LEDs provide night vision capabilityRedundant storage supported due to dual SATA interface8 channel synchronous playbackAdvanced motion detection methods such as line crossing, intrusion or dwell detection supportedGreat value for moneyUSB Backup featureLaView will customise the kit to your exact needsCONS:Incoming bandwidth of 80 Mbps limits maximum bandwidth per camera to 10 MbpsCheck Price on AmazonBack to comparison tableBest 16 channel NVR KitsBest Budget 16 ch NVR Kit: Reolink 4MP 16 channel NVR Kit with 8x 4MP PoE cameras and 3TB hard drive Reolink RLK16 410B8 NVR Features16 channel recording @ 4MP supportedPoE enabled3TB hard drive included, max. Support for 4MP cameras is impressive at this price level, but note that it cannot simultaneously play back more than 4 channels. The hardware is not powerful enough to simultaneously playback 16x4MP streams. Its a great option if you are on a budget but I would encourage you to look at our best value recommendation below. PROS:Good image quality with 4MP camerasIR LEDs provide night vision capabilityExcellent value for moneyUSB Backup featureCONS:No advanced motion detection methods such as line crossing, intrusion or dwell detectionNVR doesn’t support ONVIF standard for automatically adding 3rd party IP camerasCan playback only 4 channels simultaneously synchronous playbackNo redundant storage supportNo remote controlCheck Price on AmazonCheck Price on Reolink. comBack to comparison tableBest Value 16 ch NVR Kit: LaView 6MP 16 channel NVR Kit with 12x 2MP PoE cameras and 3TB hard drive LaView LV KN996P1612A4 T3 LV N9916C6E NVR Features16 channel recording @ 6MP supportedPoE enabled3TB hard drive included, max. I believe its great value though as most people can do just fine with 1080p resolution. What is more important is that it supports advanced motion detection algorithms to cut down on false alerts.

emergency response system

Some systems come with an LCD panel that serves as the brains of the system. The panel is typically installed on a wall in a central area of your home and connects wirelessly to your home network. Most of these panels use capacitive touch screens and contain multiple radios that allow them to wirelessly control Wi Fi, Z Wave, Zigbee, and Bluetooth sensors and home automation components. Most panels also contain a cellular radio that connects them to a monitoring center if you subscribe to a professional monitoring plan, and they almost always have a speaker and a microphone for two way communication with a monitoring agent. The cellular radio is also used to push updates to the system. For example, the $229 SimpliSafe Foundation is a starter kit that gives you the hub, a door/window sensor, a motion sensor, and a yard sign. Additional door/window sensors go for $14. 99 each and you can order glass break detectors for $34. 99 each, smoke detectors for $29. 99 each, and water sensors for $19. 99 each.
