Shipping agents and couriers – the hidden costs of shipping CCTV abroad

CCTV
CCTV .get it there!

Ship a load of kit to Australia – £450

That gets it there, but they don’t tell you that there is tax to pay if you are an individual….

oh, and get this, that £450 to ship? that gets it to the other end airport – if you want it delivered to the recipient’s door, that’s more

Rip off……..

Honeywell HREP range.

Honeywell has introduced the new HREP DVR series to its selection of CCTV products.

The HREP DVRS are embedded digital recorders and are economically priced in order to compete against the influx into the UK of cheap highly functional DVRs from the far east.

Classed as an entry level device the Honeywell HREP can be accessed via a web browser and uses H.264 video compression for easy fluid remote access.

Simple installation and set up via a USB mouse means the unit is childs play to navigate and requires the minimum of training to familiarize yourself with the functions available. This reduces time on site for installers and service engineers alike.

With no software to install and remote access via the web browser, Honeywell hope the HREP range will be a big hit with installers and customers in both domestic and business scenarios.

A bold move from Honeywell? well we will just have to wait and see.

Honeywell HRDP iPhone app.

Honeywell have joined with Apple to enable the HRDP DVR to be accessed via iphones and iPads.

This is the way many manufacturers are going as the Apple app gives end users the ability to view CCTV images from their HRDP recorder whenever and where ever they may be.

Honeywell HRDP iPhone

The Honeywell HRDP H.264 DVR now supports  the iPad/iPhone feature that makes it comparable to many high-end embedded DVRs but at a much lower price something many end users are currently looking for. The DVR has always boasted crisp clear images but now this added benefit brings it into line with many of its competitors.
