Best praise vs top criticism for Dahua DB11
“Arlo, Ring, Nest Cam are definitely the worst systems if you are looking for realiability, because all of those are WiFi and WiFi cameras are not reliable. I think some of those brands do offer PoE models but they are trash compared with other brands, even their WiFi models aren't very good. Bare minimum I would suggest is Reolink. The best one I'd say it is Dahua or Hikvision system. Always choose wired PoE over wireless.”
“Hikvision is the largest security camera manufacturer on the planet, Dahua is 2nd. Both are Chinese and are buddies with the Chinese government. They have poor track records on human rights (eg contributing to Uighur genocide) but they're hard to avoid given their sheer size. Sort of like Nestle is a gross company but hard to avoid. Reolink makes good products. They started out cheap, and the night vision reflected that as night vision is the hardest thing for a security camera to do. Any camera can do daylight photos fine of night photos without movement. I understand Reolink and Ubiquiti for that matter, now use image sensors and optics that are pretty good at filming movement at night. People are big on "smart" features, apps, real time notifications, painless remote viewing, etc. Unfortunately I'm not able to comment on those features as I don't use them - I pipe most of my video through Blue Iris, and have custom scripts for some other the other functionality.”
