It’s seems you’re expat in this area, what brand of version of the IP cctv will you recommend for lay man like me in Nigeria situation of no light no strong internet connection finally security of network.


This is no small work order.

1. Which brand of IP CCTV do I recommend?

The CCTV you deploy depends on your ideological leaning - if you subscribe to American values, you cannot use HIKVISION or DAHUA. Reason being that America is worried about HIKVISIONS association with the Chinese Military and the Chinese government as a whole. The other reason is if you do not mind China storing and processing your data....that is the position of the US government's cyber security agencies.
Same can be said for UNIV CCTVs.

If you don't mind, those products are good.

If you do mind, then appropriate substitute would be Panasonic I-PRO or the American product Lorex.

2. The light issue here?

Get inverters and batteries. If you do your research you can buy good batteries in Nigeria, if you don't believe in quality in Nigeria then order from the US.

Size the installation for as many days of downtime as you want the system to be online.

Add solar panels so those can be recharged even if there is no public power supply.

3. Internet Supply

Investigate the strongest networks in your area and pay their 1TB 1 year N100,000.00 plan and subsequently determine based on how much data goes how much data your installation needs and how often to recharge.

You can also set up a system that if internet from network A fails, network B takes over, if network B fails, network C takes over. You get the gist

It will be expensive, but security is always expensive.

Thank you sir, I do research as lay man, data storing from eternal system without one knowledge is my greatest privacy concerns. Lorex is one my first choice, Owl is another good affordable brand. Another thing is when one bring it over. After spending that much, I don't want to hear Oga this one no the work here. The regular language our people use to discourage one to go their way. Thanks, we keep leaning every day

One of the best decision that I unwittingly made earlier on was to jettison the USA only ideology and stick to what works in Nigeria. I inspected a house in Ogun state that was built by an Americana. It was disappointing to see most of the door locks, faucets, kitchen cabinet hardware that were all shipped over has become dysfunctional over the years.

Please is there any sort of system one can install say maybe in the kitchen that does water treating (filter and treats) in a home? Such that one can SAFELY drink the borehole water from the kitchen tap. I'll like information on it if available.

Has anyone attempted to buy house things from Alibaba. Stuff like toilet and kitchen fittings, toilet sit, washing hand basins, etc. Even some electrical fittings... From what I'm seeing, shipping by sea will reduce prices drastically. My fear is determining quality. Does anyone have any experience in this line or ventured this route before and is it worth trial or a no no even though potentially cheaper.

I don’t need to read their brainwashing spiel my brother. I worked and lived with ex employees.

I’m just thinking that for a Nigerian in Nigeria both Chinese and American covert operators are the same.

If you have used a Chinese phone in Nigeria, that is riddled with ads and forced app installs, that even if uninstalled forcibly reinstall themselves and keep sending data to China with no way for the user to limit such transmissions

Or have used a Chinese browser that restricts access to sites critical of China you may feel differently, try Maxthon and visit websites critical of the Chinese Government or the ruling party there to appreciate that this applies even if you are not in China

If you work on sensitive stuff that might interest China, you may feel differently

That notwithstanding your position on the matter is reasonable and a valid point of view

The safest and most secured way is to have the items shipped to a trusted Nigerian shipper over there. He will do the quality inspection and then ship them to you in a consolidated container. The advantage is that the shipper can easily return the items for refund if they do not meet agreed specifications and quality.
Moreover since those are heavy items, you save on shipping cost from using container instead of air cargo. They would charge per cubic meter of certain weight limit.

you should never try this if you are not going to China yourself to source the items. but if you do not care about quality, then you can ride on.

2350 for wholesale Give link! We bought over 600 bags and the difference between the wholesale and retail was just 100naira.

We still paid 50naira per bag to the laborer for delivery.
