You Can Buy Used Arecont Cameras From Arecont
Presented without comment:
Recent Arecont coverage:
Don't forget the window etching and the anti-rust undercoat.
Are there still any vintage 2011’s available?
That year was prolly a bumper crop for Arecont refurbs...
Most of them are probably brand new cams that were DOA on the test bench...
Umm... not sure of the significance of "presented without comment." Isn't the story here that Arecont Vision is selling cameras direct?
They are selling direct to SI's though. What is the concern?
I thought the choice for manufacturers in our industry is that you either sell through distribution or you sell direct ("...and never the twain shall meet").
No, that is not correct. Several manufacturers sell both direct to integrators (not end-users) and also through distributors. There are pros and cons to both methods, for both the manufacturer and the integrator.
However, concerns arise when either the manufacturer or distributor sells product direct to an end user without an integrator involved.
Nothing particularly new here. This has been an option for years, although previously I had to run it through a distributor which always seemed a bit of a hassle. Not sure what this sales process specifically is. We have used them for one off out of warranty replacements and service inventory. None had issues/problems that required additional service so it worked for us.
So I guess a 'comment' is needed. My point was why in the world would you buy used cameras from a company who has a history of QA and reliability problems? Nobody says, "Yeah their new stuff tends to break, but used, it works well."
