Does this deal get the mat2000 deal of approval? Or wait for a better deal from frys or bh that may come along?

Hi Dangerousbri,

I would wait a bit - and see all of what comes out by Thursday afternoon.

Also, if you can afford a better kit I would consider it.

Lots of options should be available for IP PoE kits by then.

I'm wanting to pickup an IP camera system this black friday. Is LaView a decent brand in your opinion mat2000? I'm basically needing at least 6 cameras and would like some mobile notification piece if motion is detected. On the fence between 4MP and 8MP. Not wanting to spend a fortune but also not bottom of the barrel junk either.

Do you all install yourself or hire an installer? I checked out local security camera installer but they all have their own suggested camera system

I installed my camera myself. One cable is all needed for each camera.

I will stay away from LA view. I got 3x nvr and 24 cameras, i had nothing but problems. These were hard installations and replacing bad cameras cost me. Worst part the replacement cameras had different form factors that costed me a lot more in time to pul back wire to make bigger holes (1.25") to accomodate new connectors. Still have issues of slow play back, and cant playback more than 2 camera at a time, and it resets at random. All 3 of the nvr does that. Got tired of sending back and replacing them and replacment has different problems. The ones from Costco seem to be a good choice, not having to deal with horrible customer service.

I had same experience with those Costco devices too. I picked up the nightowl and they had the worst accent I've ever heard from an offshore customer service hotline. I then returned it and swapped with the more expensive Lorx one, same thing! Neither systems can playback more than 2 cameras at the same time. Later I learnt from my local installer that the recorder puts most resource to keep all cameras recording, it is not common for those diy systems to have enough resource to decode all playback. Now I have the pro line Hikvision nvr sourced from the installer. Costly but works perfectly.

HI Mathena2,

LaView is a decent brand and option, it is a Hikvision OEM product.

Many SD'ers have picked up LaView kits when they've hit fp. Some have reported customer service issues with LaView - but that is not unusual in this product space - plan to do some DIY learning.

Playing with more advanced features ( Dahua calls them IVS ) - I've become a fan of those - and yes, that does take more DIY learning to figureout - rather cools once you do learn it.

Well the LaView products seem to be Hikvision models which do not have those features, just the typical motion detection features. Which is still good.

What does this mean?

If you like to play around more with your computer equipment to maximize it's potential, then it is nicer to have the "IVS" / advanced style features.

I know there are a lot of options and things to consider - and sometimes owning an affordable kit and learning is a good start.

I would also consider the Q-see NVR deal from Costco - as I really like Costco's return policy and the Q-see kit is good hardware. Q-see like other brands in this space, will require you to do some DIY learning also - and their customer service is probably also short compared to customer service from companies which get monthly payments from customers.

Hi Superdealsonline,

You definitely can DIY install - do have someone help out on the cable pulls, it is very tricky to pull cables by yourself as the cable rolls up and snags - which can result in a broken wire if it gets bend too much.

Easiest houses to do are one story with nice roomy attics.

Thrifty ( thanks ) makes a very good point.

Sometimes you will want more powerful equipment for displaying - do consider using the VMS software on a more powerful PC for display

Could you please suggest any 8 cameras set with those features (IVS). So we can keep an eye on it or similar and buy if the deal is up?
