Anyone very knowledgeable and/or work in the security field? I'm comparing a couple proposals for the installation of a video surveillance system in several buildings, and I'm looking for a 3rd party opinion on them (regarding quality of equipment and price).
The environment is a combination of industrial / warehouse. The outdoor cameras that do not point toward buildings will have to deal with pretty low-light conditions, at range. The ones that point toward buildings will likely have a flood light or two in their field of view.
My biggest concern is the price difference for the DVRs (one is ~$2k, the other is $5k+). The tech specs appear similar... so why is one more than double the cost of the other? Is it the software?
Proposal 1:
Cameras:
Speco HT-INTD8 (Outdoor, 27 Total)
Speco HT-7246IHR (Indoor, 6 Total)
DVRs:
Speco DVR-16TN/300 (2 Total)
Speco DVR-16TN/600 (2 Total)
Price: ~$37k
Proposal 2:
Cameras:
American Dynamics ADCTDN2412N (Outdoor, 21 Total)
American Dynamics ADCDH2506TN (Outdoor, 6 Total)
American Dynamics ADCPWH2506TN (Indoor, 6 Total)
DVRs:
Intellex LT (8 input, 500GB) (2 Total)
Intellex LT (16 input, 500GB) (2 Total)
Price: ~$49k
Thanks.

The cameras are rated between .002 and .5 lux, depending on which proposal you are looking at. They are either vandalproof dome or bullets w/environmental housing. All are 540 TVL and above. None are PTZ which, as I understand it, are the really expensive cameras that can be several thousand dollars each.
