New to all of this. Been in the hospital the last two days and have been reading all the threads constantly.
Looking to buy a 16-channel but would prolly run 6-8 cameras, from 2-4MP. From what I've read and from @nayr's recommendation I am considering the Dahua 4216. I've found several from aliexpress, B&H, A1security and CCTV-mall. Some are 42A16 and cost more and some are 4216 and say they are Dahua just don't have name on the front. Are the cheaper non-name ones safe? Or is it better to pay a little more and get an official Dahua brand one?
I think im pretty sold on the Dahua, but would also consider the Hik or LTS, if given reason why they're better, or a better deal money wise. And since this gets asked a lot, my budget is hoping to stay under $1,000.
Thx for the help!
