in particular this mini-bullet maybe of interest
LaView Saturn Series 5MP mini Bullet Ourdoor PoE IP Camera,3.6mm, h.265+, True 120dB WDR, IP67, IVS, 2-pack
SKU LVS-DHPB8652W-36-2P
$116.80 w/july4 discount code ( i.e. <$59 each camera )
https://www.laviewsecur
additional notes:
Definitely a Dahua OEM product, thus with some configuration work you should be able to get other Dahua OEM IP PoE cameras to work with this kit. ( IP, port, user / password config maybe needed )
Amcrest sells a similar looking turret, however iirc it does not have IVS functionality.
Dahua OEM international model cameras should work with this kit, and I would consider augmenting the kit with a couple of Dahua OEM 2MP starlight cameras for areas which need better low light cameras. ( or perhaps some of the newer 4MP starlight+ models )
Remember not to port forward. Turn off P2P and UPnP on your router. If you need remote access look at running a VPN server on your router.

Question... My electrician who will be installing the cameras insist on getting a junction box for each camera...will laview junction box be compatible to these saturn kits ?
another question... if i want 9 cameras connected to NVR... anyway i can connect a wire from NVR port to 4 port POE switch and connect 2 more cameras ? or do i need 16 port NVR... since 10, 12 or 14 port NVR's dont exist....

1) Junction boxes:
( you may need to hit this url 2x to actually get beyond the splash page )
https://www.dahuasecuri
The following junction boxes work for 3 screw bases like those these turrets have:
PFA122
PFA130-E
There is also the PFA136/137/139 - however I do not like these as much as they do not create as good of a seal, and you need the right model for the right camera to get the proper fit.
I did not see these on the LaView accessories page..
Lorex does carry the PFA122 ( squarish box ) in 3 colors
https://www.lorextechno
They also have a discount code for 15% off.
You can also look at Amcrest and Montavue and see if they have an appropriate box.
( for the mini-bullet cameras w/the 3 screw bases: not certain if the PFA122 / PFA130-E will fit, you'll have to double check on that.. normally look for a similar Dahua OEM camera and look at the spec sheet to see what junction boxes work for that model )
2) Wanting more than 8 cameras - the max number this NVR can handle is 8 channels. You'll want to look for a 16 port / channel NVR or consider a POE switch + PC w/VMS software running on it.

Unfortunately there are not many 16CH NVR that seems to be on sale... on slickdeals at least....
What do you think of this QSee System in Costco...
https://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-C...69088.html
may be buy separately couple of dome cameras
https://qplus.dozuki.co
I feel like i rather have nvr with 16 ch vs poe hub + PC+Software... (less headache to configure i am assuming)
what do you say ?

Those newer Q-see models are from an OEM which I have seen little posted on. I especially look for comparison reviews to get an idea and as I have seen little on those I am unable to note much at this time.
Good news it that with Costco's great return policy I would be comfortable taking any Costco sold kit home to do a bench test. Ideally you want a reference camera to compare them to.
I think the OEM maybe a company called uniview iirc Sam88 posted on this in a thread

I have not seen EoC converters sold at LaView. Personally I have little experience with them, I do see some on ipcamtalk mentioning them as an option.
I recall their line up being all Hikvision when I first started to look at security cameras.
Now La View carries 3 different OEMs from what I can tell. The Saturn products are Dahua OEM.

Hi Mat,
I like Amcrest phone app, and currently own the 3MP Qcam system, looking to upgrade.
So, my question is which one is better? This deal or this system? https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-8-...B07S18S981
I don't mind paying the extra $100 for if the Amcrest is a better system
Here is a screenshot of what I'm currently recording, to give a better idea of the field of view:

I believe the Cameras in the LaView Saturn kit are a bit better as they support IVS. Otherwise, spec wise they seemed close to each other - iirc it was mentioned that they have different f-stops. ( see the prior thread on the discussions )
The NVR hardware maybe close to each other also, so you want to check the spec sheets on those.
If the Q-see 3MP cameras are Dahua OEM you can use them with either NVR, just need to change port / ip and sync the user / password between those cameras and the channel they will be using on the NVR.
If you want to upgrade to more cameras, the 5MP bullets at 2 for <$120 look like a very good deal, and I would certainly look to add 1-2 of the Dahua starlight or starlight+ cameras to cover the most critical area in low light conditions. ( normally at night a lot of car door checkers .. )
I suspect the NVR is a Dahua OEM NVR4208-8P-4KS2x - though I have not looked at the specs too closely to see if that appears to be a good guess.
quick review on the spec sheets:
LaView NVR LV-DHN6208
lists Record Rate 200Mbps
also note: "Lite Network Video Recorder" - thus I strongly now suspect this is one of the lite Dahua OEM models ( i.e. NVR4xxx )
https://www.laviewsecur
looks similar to the Dahua OEM NVR4208-8P-4KS2x
https://www.dahuasecuri
would need to check more on the specs to see if this is a good guess as well as contrast it with other NVR models.

I happen to have access to a LaView 4K NVR, and I connected one of the QCAM cameras, it did not work as plug and play. I have the option to change the port and IP but wasn't sure of the correct settings (user ignorance here)
I also have access to Lorex 4K NVR and connected the same QCAM camera and it worked without adjustments. It seems the Lorex NVR uses a similar interface to QCAM and probably Amcrest. I felt the Lorex NVR interface is more stable and easier to use than the LaView interface.
The Laview phone app asks me to scan a QR code from the NVR interface, that does not really exist. The app looks outdated and seemed buggy. I also had the chance to play around with Annke 4K that gave a great video quality, but uses the same buggy interface of LaView.
In summary, i feel QCAM/Amcrest and Lorex have a lot in common when it comes to feature and operating interface.
LaView and Annke are similar to each other "that I don't like" and different from Lorex/Amcrest.
Anything wrong with this set? 4 cameras is enough for me. Would I just need to add a 2mp starlight for optimal night time surveillance?
