CCTV recommendations?

[Jason Green]

Hello, all!
Wondering if anyone could recommend a CCTV company in Chiang Mai area? I have a wired system currently, but lightning fried some of the channels on the DVR… And it was a kind of low quality/old tech system anyhow. I’d like to get something with higher technology, the software was really clunky. Any tips or experience? ???? Not sure what to buy or where to get it from, but would love any recommendations or info experienced folks might have.
 

Thank you!! ????

AFAIK wired is still the best quality/price but would depend on what you need it for a bit I guess.  I have been using a normal HIKVision system from Lazada for several years at home as basic recording and has worked flawlessly.  Have seen shops with same name here in Bangkok so suspect it may be a franchise as well as retail product.  There does not appear to be much it can not do if you have specific requirements.

I just went through replacing all my old analog cameras & DVR first week of May.  I spent a lot of time researching what and where to buy...started out w/Lazada- lots of sellers but I was leary of buying last year's technology and wanted the seller to install.  Lots of HikVision products so I spent a lot of time on the HIKVISION website researching their products- clearly they are a major manufacturer so I narrowed down by choices to find a Chiang Mai seller.  The Chiang Mai area seller of HIKVISION is ALLTECH Solutions out at the intersection of Outer Ring Road (121) & 118- where the major flyover roadwork project is ongoing.

 

Went to their shop and tho their product range was less than what I expected they would have, they did have my primary choice of the camera model I had decided upon from my research.  They were very helpful and patient in answering my Q's and did not try to sell me a product of higher price/quality than I needed. I placed my order for 8 cameras, power supply and DVR...no money required until after delivery and installation.

 

They came out a few days later and swapped out the old cameras & power supply; connected the new DVR and set up all the parameters to my request.  And unlike my prior system setup where I could do remote viewing via IP address, this new system a simple download of the app on your phone and tablet does the trick.

 

I'm going to send you a PM next with more info....

Wonderful information Jeff.  Could you copy that PM to me with more information.  I have been thinking of getting a system but have been stuck behind the massive amount of information and choices.  If you could send me the info I would go and get what you got, easy for me.

 

Thank you.

ALLTECH Solutions worked very well for  us too. No problems, good service and a good price

I would recommend the Ezviz Mini O wifi cameras.  I have installed four around my house and had them for 3 years now (mostly without issues) and they are very easy to install and connect to remotely even from abroad.  You can even use them outside as long as they are protected from the rain and have a power socket relatively close. 

They are a steal on Lazada at the moment at just 549 THB and free delivery from a Thai supplier too.  Here is a link to them for your info Lazada link.

Any queries feel free to PM me.

Had them move a 5 camera installation to a new location and they were good.
