    Cameras compatibility

    If your NVR is a Dahau rebrand NVR, then the C500 (Hikvision?) may pose some problems. I have the Amcrest 5MP UltraHD turrets, IP5M-T1179EW, running on Lorex LNR6100 NVR (Dahau) as well as Windows pc running Dahua PC NVR/live view software so u might consider those value cameras if your NVR is...

    New Hikvision ECI-T24F4, ECI-T24F2

    Thanks, Aristobrat. Lux ratings are a good initial gauge. Shame that Hikvision seems to be lagging Dahua in terms of budget low light cameras.

    Transform a wire Dahua camera into wireless

    btw, EOP needs to be on the same electrical circuit for it to work. May also interfere with some wifi signals.

    Transform a wire Dahua camera into wireless

    Only possible way I can think this can be done (it may even not work though as I don't know if anyone has even tried this): 1) install a Ethernet over Power (EOP) input device on your electrical power line to your camera at the NVR location. NOTE: these devices are typically rated at 10 mbps...

    New Hikvision ECI-T24F4, ECI-T24F2

    Anyone have any experience with the above Hikvision camera models? Specs. (see Hikvision ECI-T24F4 4 Megapixel Outdoor EXIR Network IR Turret Camera, 4mm Lens) seem to be very similar to highly rated Loryta IPC-T2431T (Dahua) budget cameras. I would get Loryta's but trying to stay with...
