Im being asked to value engineer (reduce cost) from a CCTV package which was originally an IP NVR system, the client has suggested Ring.
We've got a full surveyed wifi networking with multiple access points, and we would be going with the hard wired powered Ring cams.
Has anyone had any experience with these ? Where they good / stable or should i steer clear at all costs ?
Unless you have power available at every camera location I don't see the benefit of the camera. For one camera at the front door, sure. If I am going to have a complete surveillance system, No. It will cost twice as much to get an electrician in to provide power at every camera location than to either run a CATx or use the existing CATx cable.
Also as lippavisual said, you still need to pay for the Ring cloud which overtime will exceed the price of an NVR.
