 It's not profitable and it makes you look bad. All I can say is, Google th=

My suggestion (?)   Shop around for the product you want. Find the high pri=

 buy direct but these are some of the  popular DVR/NVR manufacturers that i=
nstallers use. They're not cheap and will likely not talk to an end user sh=

You ask me ..... How do I know all this?=20
Well ...because ONCE ..... Just ONCE, mind you .... I bought one and I'll n=
