    Considering opening a shop to sell and install cameras

    My suggestion would be to write up a business plan taking into account your overheads, population size, cost of support, etc and see if it will be a viable business venture. If you expand to include maintenance such as cleaning of cobwebs, inspecting operation of the hardware, it could make...

    Disguised Cam in a lightbulb

    Hmm I still like the concept though not the application in this case. Should have looked a bit more closely before I posted it.

    Disguised Cam in a lightbulb

    Hi all I received this in an email and thought it looked interesting enough to post up. Has anyone else seen anything like it? http://www.tomtop.com/hd-1080p-wifi-led-bulb-hidden-camera-home-safety-for-iphone-6-6-5-5c-5s-samsung-htc-smartphones-tablet-pc-s326.html?aid=em2

    Tool storage

    I appreciate the offer but I'm sorted with my setup. This is the setup in my van that I work out of and I transport to and from it with Kincrome modular cases.

    Tool storage

    Oh cool, we have a similar style mobile toolbox set from Stanley Tools. It's more of a chest with added toolboxes not like the Dewalt or any of the systainer copy boxes which are modular. They are pretty good to work out of as I used to use one when I was an apprentice. Edit: I worked out...

    What would make a good spider-web removal tool?

    I use one of these http://www.bunnings.com.au/morgan-angle-cobweb-extension-broom_p4480408 It comes with an extendable pole and you can adjust the angle of the brush head.

    Hikvision Turret and Ceiling tiles mounting.

    I would personally use some metal plate or sheet metal, even flat iron bar, etc on top of the tile and fix into that so you can spread the weight over the tile rather than where the fixings are.

    Tool storage

    Yes they are pricey which was ultimately the dealbreaker for me. I picked up these instead https://www.kincrome.com.au/product/K7682/tool-stacker-case-lge---248mm https://www.kincrome.com.au/product/K7681/tool-stacker-case-med---151mm...

    Tool storage

    Hi Pal251 If you're interested in the Dewalt modular boxes, look up Tanos Systainer who made the original boxes with everyone else either copying or licensing their design. I was just about to splash out on quite a few of their modular boxes when I found that Kincrome had also released them...

    Suggest outdoor HD PTZ with 20/30x zoom?

    I had a TP Link TL-SG1008PE. I like it enough that I'll be getting another one when I move back into my place.

    Poe to poe switch?

    I agree with code2 with pulling in more cables than you require or at the very least pull through a draw wire.

    What to do with DC Pigtails Outside

    Thanks for the clarification, the silicone tape is something I can get locally as opposed to getting from Amazon. Although I'm not one to have connections exposed to the elements without some form of mechanical protection, I'll keep some silicone tape on hand regardless.

    Hi Fenderman Back to the original topic, is this coax seal also known as silicone duct tape?

    cable through wall question

    Hello So let me know if I'm reading this correctly, you fed the cables up the wall cavity, through the hole in the top plate you drilled and over to the other wall through the ceiling? Sounds about right, I'd have done the same. If you're keen to install a wall plate with a bnc jack and dc...

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Thanks for hijacking :oh: The replies in your thread aren't up to scratch? The gist of it is you'll need to tftp the firmware back on to the camera. Do a search for more detailed directions.

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Yes they are available in the ds2cd2732 as a dome and ds2cd2632 as a bullet. Unfortunately the 2332 isn't available in VF.

    Hik bullet Install with custom mounting plates

    A very schmick looking mounting plate. I'd also be interested in one to suit the turrets if you get around to selling them. Also what is the chances you might be interested in creating one for 2 x 2732 VF dome?

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Hence why sometimes it's better to start with a varifocal cam which can be moved around to different locations to work out the best lens required in each spot. That was my initial plan but my other half prefers the look of domes after the turrets so mostly domes we went.

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Fair enough Fenderman :) I've never installed SADP before so wasn't aware of any issues. Either way, after resetting the cams they're accessible at the default address.

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    Just an update, I still wasn't getting anywhere so decided to reset one of the cameras after finding the procedure on here. I am now able to ping and connect to the camera at 192.0.0.64 though SADP still doesn't see it so unsure if something is amiss when I installed it. I've changed it to...

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    wincap is already v4.1.3 so might be that. Hi jordanb here's a constant lit red led on above the IR led ring and another green led further back that you can see the glow from. Both cams doing that.

    Testing out a New BEAST

    I went with a Dahua SD59230S with the black face. 30x optical zoom could still be overkill but we'll see. Also plan on mounting it up high so size doesn't bother me that much. It's landed locally but held up by customs so waiting to get hold of it for a play.

    Hi allI'll try upgrading winpcap and see if that makes a difference.I'm only connecting 1 camera at a time so it can't be an IP conflict issue.

    You mean by crossover cable? I've already tried that using a POE injector and still nothing.

    Anyone recently purchased cameras from CCTV CAMERA CHINA

    I've just received my 7 cameras with 5 being 2732 domes. I've so far been unable to see any of the 2 I've tried to connect to either by changing to the same IP range as the default IP address and even scanning with SADP. I've contacted Julia but thought I might ask around in case anyone else...

    Current Known Problems?

    Happens to me as well. I think it has to do with Surveillance Station polling the cams which defaults the motion detection settings. Previously it hasn't too bad to manage with just 3 cams and having to reload configs but it's going to become a nightmare with 11 cams so if there's a...
