    Unusual request for advice

    Not 100% sure this would work (hopefully somebody else could confirm) You could mount a camera with an SD card inserted in a classroom then supply local power and have the camera connected directly to the teachers computer. The camera can be on continuous recording and should an event happen...

    Ptz mount screws how to fit

    Thanks guys, really appreciate the help. In the pic below, does the nut go on the outside of the bracket and the other two washers (not sure of the correct name) go behind the bracket (if that makes sense)

    Network Security Primer

    Thanks for the first post, really useful. Just a quick question that might sound stupid. If I've set up a VPN. Do I only need to connect via this VPN whilst away from home? Or does it need to be used locally and remotely? Thanks

    Silicone on Mounting Bracket?

    Oh ok. Thanks. Also what about the holes where the wires enter the building? I don't want water coming inside, so is it best to seal from outside and inside or just one?

    Silicone on Mounting Bracket?

    Hi, Just wondering if it's worth sealing the edges of the hikvision mounting bracket with silicone sealant to make sure water doesn't get it or is that being unecessarily excessive? Also when sealing holes, do I need to do it from the inside and outside or just one of them? Thanks

    Installing PTZ

    hi, is the method for installating a ip ptz the same as a normal ip camera (i.e. just one cat5/6 cable ) also is there anything else that needs to be considered when installing a ptz camera as opposed to a normal ip bullet or dome. thanks
