r/cctv

We are an access control integration company who is looking to add security cameras to our offering. We are looking for one cloud-based option and one non-cloud.

Looking at Ubiquiti cameras, customers can buy direct, and for dealers, looking at ADI, there is only a 7-10% margin. Dealers who install Ubiquiti, are you only making your money on labor/cable?

We are looking for a non-cloud based option that is easy for installation and for the end user.

I am looking for advice on where to purchase "gray-market" or "refurbished" commercial-grade IP Cameras and NVRs

Does any one have experience and /or recommendations for a company, that’s not ADT, that does installation of residential CCTV cameras?

We have a 6 year old HIK camera CCTV that was installed by ADT but the NVR (? name) is outdated and now we can’t go back and replay videos from past events.

We don’t think a swap of the NVR will work, and we want to update to newer cameras anyway.

TIA.
