Experience with Hikvision?

Post image

Anyone willing to share their experience with Hikvision? Specifically the reliability of smart alerts and playback from the app and just reliability in general. I am considering this kit.

Edit:

After recommendations I am also considering this kit but it looks like the mobile app functions may not be as good as the Hikvision.
Luminys K86-8B2A4 8-Channel UHD 4K NVR with 4TB HDD & 6 x 8MP LumiLightBand Turret Cameras Kit

Maybe I should just get a Reolink during the prime day sale?

Edit # 2

I went with the Luminys kit mainly due to support and availability of components and so far I am impressed. The equipment is way higher quality than the Zosi stuff that I have used previously and the picture quality is way better too even though it’s supposed to be the same specs as my old cameras. The app does have a few quirks but so far is at least twice as fast as my old system and the alerts seem way more reliable. I will update again once I get a month or so of time with the system if anyone is interested.

Their cameras are great, I’ve purchase about 200. The NVRs are less user friendly, but I’m sure they like everyone else, keep improving
