Here is a web chat I had with a low-voltage CCTV installer earlier this week:

Raymond Shadman: and the price would be $87.95

Raymond Shadman: $107.95 each

Raymond Shadman: we generally use LTS instead of Hikvision because it’s the exact same camera (hardware and software), and the price is less and the support is better

Raymond Shadman: shipping is also faster

Make your own determination, or contact us for a professional recommendation on your specific application.

As of 2020-Q1: Another customer recently asked about LTS because he wanted to replace his Hikvision DVR. Apparently, Hikvision discontinued its DDNS service about 3 years ago. When I asked a Hikvision engineer about this, he did confirm they discontinued DDNS, but stated ” it is largely not needed now, since the HIkConnect app can register cameras to it with simply scanning the QR code.”

While this may be true, it does not change the fact that they have no DDNS with which to view systems connected to dynamic IP addresses.
