Recommended Brands in Africa

Widely available: Hikvision (best value, Chinese), Dahua (alternative to Hikvision), Reolink (budget IP), Samsung Wisenet (premium). In Nigeria, buy from Computer Village (Lagos), Ikeja Electronics District or your local CCTV dealers. Always insist on genuine products — fake cameras have poor night vision and fail quickly.
