We ordered this security camera system from Security Camera King because we thought the package contained everything we needed for our business and we were right, it does. Actually it has a little more to offer than just fulfilling our basic needs. First of all the cameras fit our needs perfectly, including (and especially) the PTZ camera. The bonus prize for this system is the Hybrid DVR/NVR. We get everything we need to adequately construct our security camera system, but with the NVR capabilities it allows us to "experiment" with IP megapixel cameras to see if we may want to go with full IP megapixels systems in the future. I can't say enough about the cameras and the hybrid DVR/NVR and I won't because it would take a heck of lot more room than what is available here. Let me just say that the Hybrid DVR/NVR handles the work load with ease, including remote access, and controlling the PTZ camera, and the video recordings made with this combination of recorder and cameras are very high quality. The videos are clear, detailed, and are very color true. We did have some issues with getting everything installed and set up because we are basically the technical crew here at work and not professional CCTV guys. However, a big "Thank You" goes out to Security Camera King's technical support staff because the were very helpful in getting us on line.

Security Camera King says there is no other system like this available and I have to agree, it is very unique, effective, and cost efficient. We ordered this system for use at our business and we couldn't be happier with it. It's got such variability and functionality and yet all the cameras and components fit together with perfect integration for a full functions system. The 6 700TVL resolution Indoor/Outdoor Vandal Resistant Dome security cameras work excellently in our office lobby areas as we always have some degree of ambient light available there and as these camera are so sensitive to light, they do an excellent job of capturing all the activity that occurs there. Our 6 700 TVL Dual Voltage Infrared Day/Night Vandal Domes Security Cameras are also spread throughout our facility and do an excellent job of operating in either day (lit) conditions or night (dark) conditions. I'm not sure what the purpose of the dual voltage feature is unless that is in case you have extremely long cable runs. AC voltage by it's nature has a much lower change of dropping and degrading over long distances that does DC. The 700TVL 12X PTZ camera also does an excellent job. We have it mounted in our parking lot where it is able to "see" the entire parking lot plus all of our major entrances and exits. We did make a slight change to our package however. Instead of using the twist on BNC connectors we upgraded to compression fittings at the advice of our electrical maintenance supervisor. These fittings, once place well, would take an earthquake to undo them. The package is nice because not only does it include all of these camera components but the hybrid DVR/NVR unit allows you the luxury of also working with IP megapixel cameras. Although there are no "network" cameras that are included with the kit, that is alright too, because I am sure that many customers will have different needs and maybe be difficult to "fit" with just one "standard" type of camera that fits all configuration. We are pleased with our system and even more impressed with the help given to us by Security Camera King's technical support department.

We placed an order online using our corporate credit card and received the CSS Hybrid Ultimate DVR/NVR Security Camera System from Security Camera King in just three days. Not only was the system shipped to us in a timely matter but all of the components were packed safely and securely so there was absolutely no damage that occurred in shipment. Reading the previous reviews, I'm not sure what Security Camera King offered before for this package, but they have obviously updated it and we are very satisfied with our new system. The Hybrid DVR/NVR is incredibly impressive. This hybrid unit does an excellent job of recording video and integrating the megapixel cameras with the TVLs. We need the higher resolution of the megapixel cameras and we have added 4 1080p resolution IP megapixels cameras to it already. I can tell you that this hybrid does everything a standard DVR does and more. It's got alarms, audio, multiple video display options, and Internet integration. The unit comes with a USB mouse and an infrared remote control for managing the hybrids On Screen Display (OSD) menu. There are many things about this hybrid DVR that I like, but there are two that stand out that I think are really great. The first is that as long as you know the IP address and log in names and passwords, you can control every setting of the DVR from another computer remotely. The OSD in this case looks much like a typical Windows file explorer GUI and is pretty intuitive to use. It may take a little bit of playing around to get used to where certain settings are located but it doesn't take long. So basically, once the unit is installed and initially set up, you really don't need to use a monitor with it or be near it to make adjustments! The second feature I like the most about this hybrid is that if you go into the OSD setting you can actually set your cameras for a frame rate of 1. That's 1 picture every second. However, if there is any motion detected you can set the camera to immediately start recording in realtime (30 frames per second) until the motion stops. This can save TREMENDOUS storage space and is a real storage expense money saver. The cameras are fantastic too. Between the four types of cameras included with this package (700 TVL Indoor/Outdoor Vandal Domes, 700 TVL Dual Voltage Infrared Domes, 700 TVL Varifocal Bullets, and of course the 700 TVL 12 X PTZ) we've got a selection of everything we need (especially when you had our IP megapixel cameras that we purchased separately). All of the components were fairly easy to install; we had no issues with that part. Set up was a little challenging for us but we contacted Security Camera King's support department and they got us up and running pretty quickly. These guys know there machines and they must have experience with installations too because they know the answer to your questions almost as soon as you ask them. Very willing to help too. This is definitely an A+ system!

The equipment works extremely well, but the description on this page versus the actual equipment and specifications differs somewhat. My suggestion is that you call Security Camera King before making this purchase and confirm what you are purchasing. Other than that, it's good.

We recently purchased the Security Camera King Complete Custom Surveillance Systems (CSS) Security Camera System package. The kit isn't bad but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me (my company purchased this product). It seems like this must be a left over special from a few years ago or something. I mean why bother with buying this pre-made package system when Security Camera King will let you build your own custom system from the very beginning? I went back to Security Camera King's first page to try to build this system but they didn't have the exact cameras listed available so I selected the next closest thing in price. Unless I did something wrong, you can build this system from scratch using slightly higher resolution cameras in some cases and still come out about $400 or so cheaper. Doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, like I said, the company bought it. As far as the actual components go, everything works fine, but I think this package needs a major overhaul.

I recently purchased the Complete CSS Ultimate DVR Security Camera System from Security Camera King for my store. I'm certainly not dissatisfied with the system, to the contrary it is working very well, but I'm just not as impressed with its functionality as I thought I would be when I saw it on the Internet. To be fair, I am not a security camera professional and I made the purchase on my own without any consultation or other help. The infrared vandal dome cameras are excellent and they have a range of about 50 feet in total darkness. My only disappointment here is that these cameras do not have a varifocal lens or an On screen Display system. Of course the true day/night cameras have an OSD but I don't know how you could escape not having one for that type of camera so that you can make proper adjustments to it. The PTZ is okay but the 10X optical zoom doesn't do as much for me as I thought it would. The best part of the package is the Ultimate DVR. I must admit this DVR does a very good job. It records D1 resolution on all channels simultaneously at 30 frames per second (of course you can record at a lesser resolution if you want) and handles the functions of the PTZ camera with ease. I think that in my case, my biggest disappointment is probably with myself in that instead of ordering the CSS Ultimate DVR Security Camera System, I should have just started out on the first page of the Security Camera Systems with the Custom Built Security Camera System and built mine from scratch. That way I could have ordered exactly what I wanted.

Well this system certainly saved us a lot of time shopping for the security camera system we wanted. As it works out, this Security Camera King Complete CSS Ultimate DVR Security Camera System is pretty much the exact combination of DVR and cameras that we were looking for and at a decent price. Our company had every intention of having the system installed by a local security camera surveillance system contractor but when we told our managers about this one and how we thought it could easily be installed by our electrical crew they gave us the green light. What's included and how does it work? First the cameras. There are 7 630 TVL resolution day/night vandal resistant dome cameras. These cameras are true day/night cameras so they don't need any external infrared light illuminating source and they can record in color with very low ambient light. There are also 8 indoor/outdoor 600 TVL resolution infrared cameras with built in infrared LEDs that illuminate a range of about 50 feet in total darkness. The real bonus as far as the cameras go is the 10X 540 TVL indoor/outdoor mini Pan, Tilt, and Zoom camera or PTZ. It gives you "mobile" camera surveillance and allows you to zoom in on objects to get a better look. Next the DVR is one of Security Camera King's finest DVRs, the Ultimate Series (full size) DVR. This DVR comes with an already installed DVD burner and a 21 Terabyte hard disk drive. The Ultimate has loads of features and record all 16 cameras at D1 recording display resolution at 30 frames per second. If this system fits your needs, you can't beat it, as it comes with all the hardware and wire necessary for the installation (except the PTZ mount) and a 16 channel power supply box. Ours was easy to install saving the company thousands of dollars and it earned me a Certificate of Merit by the company with a cash award. Great system!

This is a great package for indoor and outdoor coverage with a dome Pan Tilt Zoom camera. Although this exact package may not exactly fit your needs it did well for us! We were able to use the 7 630 TVL day/night cameras indoors and the remaining 8 600 TVL infrared cameras on our store front and around the building to give us complete surveillance coverage. Our store layout allows us to mount the PTZ camera directly over head of the check out area and zoom in close to the registers or give us the freedom to pan the store from our office. The DVR has shown us amazing performance, recording all 16 cameras simultaneously at 4CIF resolution at 30 frames per second for each channel. We ordered the 8 TB hard drive along with the DVD burner. If we ever have to produce copies of our footage we'll be able to burn DVDs right from the DVR. We also set up the hard disk drive to back up to our PC where we store the files so we don't create overwrite situations on our DVR hard drive. The USB thumb drive capability is also incredibly convenient. There are so many features and functions on this system that it is difficult to cover them all here, let me say that this system has served our purpose extremely well and has already proven its value on a few occasions protecting our merchandise as well as our employees. It gives you far more flexibility in surveillance and monitoring than a standard 16 camera system. I would recommend this system to anyone that can use its specific design.

Security Camera King's Complete CSS Ultimate DVR Security Camera System is the perfect security package for anyone needing 8 indoor/outdoor 600 TVL infrared day/night dome cameras, seven 630 TVL high resolution day/night vandal domes, and a 10X indoor Pan/Tilt/Zoom camera. The system includes the power distribution supply box, cables, and connectors to install the system. All you really need is the tools to install it. We are really pleased with the performance of all the equipment, including the cameras and the DVR. The DVR is loaded with features including the ability to control the PTZ camera from the DVR using only a USB mouse (and Security Camera King includes that with a remote control as well). The ability to remotely access the system via Internet is just astounding and we truly love this system. We highly recommend this system to other users; I can vouch for the quality and performance of the equipment and will return to Security Camera King for any further purchases. Furthermore, their support staff was a tremendous help in getting us up and running and they were extremely patient and knowledgeable. This is good stuff!

The Security Camera King Pack-CSS security camera package system is simply amazing but incredibly powerful and versatile. The cameras (both types) provide great high resolution video. The infrared cameras do an excellent job of producing a clear high resolution black and white video in infrared mode. The PTZ camera works great as that "mobile eye in the sky" allowing the versatility so look around its surroundings. The DVR is fast and powerful and does an excellent job of recording all 16 cameras at once. Plus, the DVR has an on screen display menu system for set up and operating changes that makes the whole process easy. We are very happy with our system and couldn't find anything comparable at a cheaper price. Not only that, but Security Camera King's DVR can be connected to the Internet to give you remote access and monitoring 24/7.
