    How awesome is this?

    That's generous, I'd likely give them each a size 11 up the clacker and send them out the door

    Critique my home security hardware choices! 6 PoE Cams, 1 NVR

    My suggestion with regards to the router would be to check whether DD-WRT or TomatoUSB supports it and load that instead. Agree with the above suggestion to use turrets over bullets.

    UPS recommendation to power nvr, modem and router??

    Can't beat the Cyberpower for bang for your buck. I've got 2 separate 1000VAs, one for the POE switch and the other for the Synology NAS. I've not had to see how much runtime I can get out of each but they were ok for a 10 minute outage while I isolated the supply to hook up a couple of new...

    What style drywall anchors are best?

    I tend to use these over the wallmate pictured above http://www.ramset.com.au/Product/Detail/86/Hollow-Wall-Anchors It involves making a pilot hole but can then be set by screwing down completely with a screwdriver or driver bit in a drill or you can set them with the anchor gun. What I like...

    How do you mark your cable runs?

    +1 to the Brady Labeller. I have the Dymo Rhino Pro 5000 which is the equivalent of the Bradys and is able to print on to special heatshrink that you're able to slip over the sheath. I've also used numbers and letters on a plastic ring that you've able to slide over cables to make up words...

    My Hikvision Home Setup

    I'm pretty sure that's just an open rackmount frame. You can buy them readily off the shelf

    OK... so why am not able to make a patch cable that works!

    Hi Flightrider I've recently been using the Platinum EZ-RJ45 connectors for CAT6 without any issues. A point no one has mentioned is possibly the potential of crosstalk being the cause of the issue. How much cable are you leaving untwisted in the RJ45 connector? Don't quote me on it as I'll...

    My Hikvision Home Setup

    Hey lingnau Nice install there. As another Surveillance Station user I'm keen on your thoughts of it. Are you utilising the motion detection in the cams or you letting SSS do the motion detection?

    Anyone use enable smart ir on 2332 turret domes?

    I used it on the one I had up at my front door. It seemed to do the job well enough compared to being very over exposed when I turned smart IR off.

    Replacing an unreliable Slingbox, DIY-style!

    Thanks BP2008, I was only just thinking that I might need something of the sort but had yet to hunt around to see what was out there and you post up your findings and experiences. I appreciate that you've taken most of the work out of it for me. Cheers

    What methods to secure cat cable in drop ceiling?

    I'm unsure about where you are but in Australia, we aren't even allowed to secure to the ceiling hangers due to someone previously bringing down the entire ceiling. I've used these in the past which allow it to be secured to timber or masonry and a strip of velcro to secure the cables to it...

    Cheap - 2032-l 3 pieces $185 if you dare

    Damn I think it's going to be worth the punt to save almost half of getting a bunch of 2732s. I'll put in an order in the morning and will report back to this thread when they arrive.

    Server cabinets does anyone use them in there homes??

    Great ideas all, I'm currently considering installing a 12U cabinet under the staircase to house a couple of ethernet switches, patch panel, UPS, any power supplies and alarm panel rather than having it sitting up on top of one corner of the walk in robe in the master bedroom. The idea of...

    How many cams do you have at your residence?

    I had 3 cams up but took them down over the weekend in preparation for demolition starting at my house for the renovations. I'm just waiting for some funds to clear and will put in an order on AE of 5 varifocal domes, another turret, a mini dome to replace the turret I had at the front door and...

    Dahua Eco Savvy PTZ

    Hi All Thanks for the replies. As cable is a cheap commodity in the overall scheme of things, I may as well run the extra cables as suggested just in case. To Paarlberg, what's the logic behind all the conduit if you've got cavity walls?

    Dahua Eco Savvy PTZ

    Hi This post is directed to anyone who might have one of the Dahua eco savvy PTZ cams with the following model # SD59212S/220S/230S-HN. I think Nayr may have one??? How are you powering yours? Looking at the specs it says 24v AC / 12v DC+POE plus. Can you confirm if it'll run off POE+ as...

    IP Camera set-up without internet

    This is easily achievable with a couple of control relays and a time delay relay. You might need to advise how you want to start the control circuit. With regards to what Nayr has said, if the winch motor was of a decent size, chances it would be fired with a contactor for forward and reverse...

    RJ45 corrosion problems ? and power q's

    In hvac, I've used petroleum jelly to insulate electrical connections from moisture which surprisingly worked quite well.

    Off the wall

    I personally don't see anything wrong with that Vector, I've made up similar things previously to mount floodlights to. All I would suggest is to fix a full saddle over the conduit on the vertical above the box to give it extra support. You might need to stand it off with something if the...

    Testing out a New BEAST

    Thanks for that, I'm still debating if I actually need 30x zoom on a PTZ or if I could get away with 10x or 20x. I'll have a hunt and see what's for sale on aliexpress.

    Voltage for PoE HIK cameras and temperature of camera

    IP cameras utilise 48v when powered over ethernet. I can't really comment on the operating temperatures of the camera although I don't recall mine being that hot to touch. I will check tomorrow and advise.
