your dvr 439
4 x camera 329x4 =1316
1T hdd prolly 150
poe switch 130

total 2035.
the original cynics quotation around 2400

So that fell make a few hundred buck from you only. fair enough la bro ppl need to make a living providing service to others whom have no knowledge to install/setup themselves.

You will need to connect a monitor to your dvr to do the initial set, tests everything working before sending it up the ceiling which is actually not that uncommon.
do all the monitoring via tablet /hp. good luck.

Dunno why nowadays ppl so quarrelsome.

1) I did not say you are doing anything wrong.
2) I just roughly calculate the cost based on the sticker price on the boxes to estimate the savings.
3) Obviously, if you have the knowledge to do the work yourself I would say go ahead and do it. I even give you a few tips on that and everbody knows saving money is important.

Just that companies helping others setup their system need to make a living and pay staff salaries. Of course there are many cut throat vendors around which I did not dispute.
So the option to scout around for prices and compare quotations is always there.

BTW........If you source from Taboa you will find the prices are cheaper still. Just that if there is problem with the product you have to solve it yourself.



Cheers and pls dun bother to reply to my comments.
