Undisclosed Manufacturer #1
Well-educated impression/feedback on Videopark from someone who has done a lot of business with them:
•EXTREMELY HIGH rate of failure, 28% DOA, with night and day performance differences from lot to lot
•Dozens of PCB revisions, some hand-soldered, some with soldered wires added
•Many NVRs and DVRs with stray loose screws behind their motherboards which cause them to short
•Backorders (non-preferential part allocation from chip manufacturers)
•Erratic data storage algorithms with a tendency of tearing hard drives up
•Poor color/contrast and WDR performance
•Issues with TVI performing over 500' of coax
Just to name a few.

Undisclosed Manufacturer #1
Product line overall- TVI cameras, IP cameras, recorders... Every order would arrive in partial shipments, so an order for 500 DVRs would yield partial shipments of 50, a quarter or more of which were DOA, reason enough to test everything before it shipped to the customer. Hard to fill backorders with your customers when your supplier only sends 10% of your total stock order. A vicious cycle, and the type of mistake that puts companies out of business.

this is normal that there are some company will slander other company , i think time will prove everything , and real testing to compare with other manufacturer products can tell us something true or wrong . we are looking forward to get more news from them .
