Summary:

I have 3 sets of used gear to sell, either as a take all set, or 3 individual sets. Worst case if I don't get enough interest in either of these 2 options, I will break up the individual sets if it makes sense and if there is enough interest in the individual pieces:
  1. 8 x used Vivotek 2MP IP-based PoE IP67-rated cameras - R3000 total
  2. Used Unbranded 4U Intel Xeon Server Box acting as an NVR (Win 10 + 8GB RAM + 128GB SSD (for OS) + 13TB storage + rackmount rails) - R7000 total
  3. Used D-Link 24-port PoE managed switch + 4 SFP (fibre) ports (R3000)
Prices are somewhat negotiable, especially if you take more items. Full system (all items) works out to R13k.

1. 8 x Vivotek IP-Based MD7560 2MP PoE IP67-rated Cameras
Age
: 5+ years
Price: R3000 for the lot (or R500 each if I decide to sell separately)
Warranty: 2 weeks from me.
Packaging: None, but will box up nicely if required
Condition: Good
Location: Lenasia, JHB
Reason: Upgraded to a new system
Shipping: On you, at your risk. Can arrange to send to our company branches in DBN and CPT at no cost, if this helps.
Collection: Yes, preferred

The cameras only work with Vivotek systems. They are not ONVIF compatible, so won't work with other CCTV systems (unless there is some kind of hack that I don't know about). That said, I will include a 24 Channel license (comes loaded on a USB Key) for free for anyone that takes all the cameras. The NVR software can be downloaded from the Vivotek website (called Vivotek VAST) and installed on Windows. I had this system running initially on Windows 7 64 bit, then upgraded to Windows 10 64 bit. It's a really good system with excellent software and mobile apps. Very easy to manage and set up. I will miss it. The new system has good cameras but crappy software and management features.

The cameras themselves are quite good. The casing is metal, strong and hefty. They can be used indoor or outdoor, are weather-proof (IP67 rated) and have anti-vandal features. The white camera casing can also be seperated from the glass cover, which means you can spray the camera housing any colour you want and then put it back together. Nice if you want to try to hide it better or match your decor / office / home.


To go with the above 8 cameras, I have a 4U Windows 10 NVR server box with 13TB of storage space:

2. Unbranded 4U Server Box + 128GB SSD (OS Drive) + 8GB RAM + 13TB storage + Win 10 Pro 64 bit
Age
: 3+ years
Price: R7,000 (originally cost me around R25k)
Warranty: 2 weeks from me.
Packaging: None, but will box up securely for shipping
Condition: Very Good.
Location: Lenasia, JHB
Reason: Upgraded to a new system
Shipping: On you, at your risk. Can arrange to send to our company branches in DBN and CPT at no cost, if this helps.
Collection: Yes, preferred

Server Details:

Intel Xeon E3-1220 V3 3.1Ghz quad-core CPU
Windows 10 Pro 64bit
8GB RAM
Crucial M550 128GB SSD - Primary OS Drive
3 x 3TB Western Digital WD30UERS Greenpower AV-GP Surveillance Drives (5+ years old, but still has good stats)
1 x 4TB Western Digital Purple Surveillance Drive (+- 3 years old, but still has good stats)
Space for 1 more Hard Drive (1 free SATA ports + 2 free SATA power cables)
Vivotek VAST 24 Channel License + License USB Key (already loaded / activated on the server)

The above server box will also make a great Media / Plex / Storage server if not used for CCTV/NVR. Or it can be used for multiple other things. Your imagination is your only limit. The box can be rack-mounted. Rackmount rails are included.

The 8 Vivotek cameras are already loaded and working live on this server, with recording storage already setup. So no additional setup is required, except maybe to change passwords. You can set up remote access (through the internet) to the system, for both PCs and mobile users (via port forwarding)


To go with the above NVR box and 8 cameras I have a 24 port D-Link PoE switch:

3. D-Link DGS-1210-28P Web Smart Managed PoE switch - 24 PoE ports + 4 SFP (fibre) ports
Age: +-3 years
Price: R3,000
Warranty: 2 weeks from me.
Packaging: None, but will box up securely for shipping
Condition: Very Good
Location: Lenasia, JHB
Reason: Not needed
Shipping: On you, at your risk. Can arrange to send to our company branches in DBN and CPT at no cost, if this helps.
Collection: Yes, preferred
