    PCI Compliance and authentication outside the network

    Sorry, we’re looking for a solution where we don’t have to incur the cost of another ISP. They already pay for 2 for the SD-WAN. As we’ve converted then to our managed network, they’ve had to bring another ISP to the building just for their cameras.

    PCI Compliance and authentication outside the network

    Does anyone have experience with installing systems that allow authentication outside the network for streams and retrieval? Our franchisees must pull a separate ISP circuit just for their cameras because we do not allow inbound connections on the managed network. Seems like all of their...

    @bigredfish Thank you. How large is the enclosure? Any chance you could send me a link to it? Did you do anything for surge / lightning protection and power outages?

    Outdoor POE switch in Texas

    SD59225U-HNI auto-tracking help please

    Hi. I am considering buying a SD59225U-HNI from Andy. Have you had success using it as a critter cam? Have you worked out the AT settings more to your satisfactions (as much as it can be)? Is PSS free software? I run BI. I have two Dahua starlights from Andy, but have not come across this...

    With Internal POE +USD8

    I've had a 20x zoom that we've really liked for wildlife watching in the yard. I can't get it to power up anymore. When I plug in the power brick, the brick flashes at me. I took it apart and can't find anything apparently wrong wrong with it. Its clean and dry on the inside. I have a feeling...

    With Internal POE +USD8

    Hi. If a camera spec says “With Internal POE +USD8”, should I infer it’s got POE built-in? Or will I need to install a module? I’m looking at a PT5AM22XH500. I bought a previous model for $100 and have been happy with it for the price. I haven’t been able to find a 20x camera for less than $600...

    Replace PIR Sensor with Camera

    Can you email me an example of a beam sensor? I've seen a few things, but they only have a distance of about 12"...I need to cover 4 feet. The black cat has learned he is faster than the PIR sensor...so I likely need to set up a little proactively and activate before he crosses into the...

    i5-4590 vs i5-3470

    With 4GB of RAM and an SSD, how much difference would I notice between a i5-4590 vs i5-3470 running BI? Shoud I save the $70 difference? This will be dedicated home rig. Currently, I run 3 2 MP cameras on my Kaby lake machine with no issues. Will add 4 more 2-4MP cameras.

    Camera Install Vendors

    I've been asked to look source a few camera vendors for an RFP. Say, 30 systems. Can anyone provide recommendations? I need them to provide hardware and install services...but likely do not need them to pull cable.

    Review - TOP-201 Super Mini 720P HD IP-Cam (The Cheapest IP Cam So Far !!)

    When I try to log into the camera, I cannot get the language drop down menu to give me options. Any thoughts on how to get English? My other two Top201s work fine. In fact, this one works fine in BI, I just cant get into the camera itself.

    PTZ powered over POE with pigtail

    I'm trying to simplify some of my wiring. I currently use a WS-GPOES-8-7 POE switch. I can order a WT-GAF-12v12w. Do y'all feel it will deliver enough juice so I just have one line off my 48V POE and run my PT5AM22XH200?

    Setting up a subnet

    Great question! My understanding, unless I have misread, is that the general advice is that your home cameras should be on a different subnet. Have I mis understood?
