1 年Halo (https://haloeurope.com/) is a great BWV camera company that is now spread worldwide. They are fast resolving any issues that may occur, and their equipment and pricing are beyond reach from any other provider. You can have consistent uploading or dock stations, whichever you prefer and all equipment is included in their advertised pricing of ￡1.00 a day = ￡30.00 per month per camera. I have had them for over 4 years after seeing them at a trade show in London, England. The team are great and I Highly recommend them worldwide.
