    Do they make a PTZ that is automatic?

    I sold a PTZ that was fully automated a few years past. He liked it to a point, it had its flaws, not to mention the $1,170.00 price tag. Do they make an IP PTZ that will see movement and follow it and zoom in? Old one - SKY-AT28VN - Skyway Security

    Newb question ~ Why do you put SD cards in IP cameras?

    Oh wow, so its recording on the camera at the same time recording on the NVR/BI! That's huge compared to my analog systems. So when I reboot my BI, the cameras record to the SD, does it then send to the BI when its back online? Is that what edge recording is? What type of memory do you use and...

    Newb question ~ Why do you put SD cards in IP cameras?

    Yeah, I know.... noobie. So I see these cameras all have SD card slots. They use it for edge recording but even that im feeling a bit daft after reading a few articles. Doesn't the NVR - in my case blue iris - record all of the video? Prinler

    I think some of you miss the most basic part of security

    I love it! Yes! Layers like an ogre lol. I love the beam detectors. They make several ones that make 4 difference noises. My best bud uses them and he has met people, from a dead sleep, at a door or window with his shot gun. They will be jiggling the handle and checking windows... Then he steps...

    I think some of you miss the most basic part of security

    The main point of security is to 1st DETER the person from attempting to break the law. Everyone it seems is so focused on catching people. The main goal is to let the crook know they are being recorded. They don't need to know how good your system is. The simple fact that you have one will...

    Running CAT 6 to cameras...

    Hidden is just so much cleaner. I always run my wires and use my cable stapler, on the eaves but thats only because i have stucco and have no more options other then the attic.

    Can i record an ipad screen on my NVR?

    Sounds weird i know. So id like to record everything happening on my ipad POS system. The company says it doesnt support "POS text overlay" so the only thing i can think of is maybe recording the screen in real time as if it was a camera? IS that a thing? We are using Cake pos. Prinler
