    Newbie NVR setup help with EmpireTech gear?

    Hey folks, I'm finally making some headway in setting up my EmpireTech system, but have hit a bit of a roadblock on the setup. I have the 5-EL 16 channel system. All the cameras are plugged in and I can see video just fine. I plugged in an ethernet cable to the ATT internet and that seems to...

    Contractor left me with this to mount my cameras

    Another reason why late night posting is a bad idea. You're right and my brain was mush. I did get the 5442 Turrets and IPC-Color4K-X 2.8mm & 3.6mm cameras. Sounds like there is a bracket that might work...

    Contractor left me with this to mount my cameras

    Got the laziest contractor who fought to do the most basic job. I asked to have the cat6 run outside for my reolink cameras. But he left me with this circular metal box. It has 4 screw holes and they only align to the reolink’s 3 holes. My idea is to buy the metal cover from Home Depot and get...

    Dahua recommendations for new construction

    Looking for a solution to for a small/medium 1700 sq ft house on a busy city street. Alerts and monitoring are important, but do not need license plate recognition or full color at night (since I don't have any artificial light sources other then a few wall lights). I did a bit more research and...

    Out of the box solution for house still under construction?

    Thanks to Mat for the pointer to the group. We are finally doing some remodeling and adding a new addition to my single story 1700 sq ft house and I wanted to beef up my terrible* existing setup.

    Aloha!
