Anyone know what they are rebranding here?


My brother is about to pay CAD$4k for these plus installation. He will probably do it regardless since he wants everything integrated into his Elan system, but I at least want to find someone to give him some options with the "same" or better cameras anyhow.

I'd like to say it strongly resembles a Dahua, but Hikvision has been making them look like that, as well. I think the two clearly visible LEDs should be easy to ID, though.

Hmmm...wonder if it's any good. Thought they'd just be rebadging a Dahua or Hikvision. Never heard of Meritlilin.

Looks like they’re 4MP 1/3 0.3 Lux min illumination. That’s not good compared to Dahua or Hik low-light models, IMO. Dahua’s newish 5442 series with the larger 4MP 1/1.8” sensor rates a much better 0.002 min illumination Lux.

From the one link. "1/3" CMOS image sensor". At 4MP they are dead on arrival as the sun sets and the night falls IMHO. In fact they may not be all that great during the day at high noon as far as getting any detail.
