First of all, thanks for taking the time to check out this post. I'm looking at a 3 camera setup for my home to start with. A dome by the front door(2.8mm) and 2 4mm bullets for a driveway shot and back door/back yard shot. I don't know why, but I've been drawn to Hikvision. I've done quite a bit of research(here and elsewhere) so I am at least familiar with the "issues" with Chinese products, firmware bricking, etc. I'm looking for a plug and play solution.
I went to B&H and found a Hikvision package that I assembled for $923.
