Hi, I’m looking for a reputable supplier of cameras as I’m struggling to pick through the endless camera suppliers across the net. I’m also a little confused to pro/cons of range now available from Hikvision inc Ezviz, Hiwatch and the traditional range. I understand the target market but struggling to identify best for £££ spent. I have a single Ezviz husky dome that performs quite well but it’s a little on the “consumer” side for me. Setup and use is by design, easy, but motion detection is well below par with many false positives. Rely on internal card as not interested in PAYG cloud.
What’s important?
Requirement for ~6 to 8 cameras added over time
Low light performance important in small, dark village
Good motion detection with selectable area and low false positive
Resolution to read a number plate (as my Ezviz can at reasonable distance)
PoE is a must
Prefer turret (ideally in Black not white finish) as EXIR method is appealing separating lens from ir
Avoid proprietary protocols onvif desirable
3MP or higher
Budget <£130 / camera
Fed up of low quality dvr / nvr has in the past I have x3 Dell poweredge servers running. Can I leverage. I can easily create an ESXi VM to host a NVR recording to a FreeNas box.
Amazon supply but can not verify if official uk device although amazon returns are excellent. Looking for good impartial uk supplier.

Any advice / suggestions welcome. Thank you.
