    Looking at first system a bunch of ?s & is this a good deal?

    If you are thinking about buying 8 cameras, why not start with 2x 2.8mm and 2x4mm or even 1 each? Then you can do a few trials by stringing loose cat6 along the ground and temporarily mounting cameras. Try this during the day and night so you see what your shots look like. You may want to add an...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    Thanks for that info. I figure the seller isn't going to give, so had to. I ordered this item this morning: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001PS9E5I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I had the same logic you did, I will probably find it useful at some point. It will be here...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    I am not sure what to do with this seller. Now they suggest that I have a compatibility problem with the TL-SF1008P and they want me to try another POE Injector or switch. I don't have another option. I have another TL-SF1008P that will deliver tomorrow, but I don't expect that to help. With 504...

    Idk what the wiring is supposed to be, but there is one connector that isn't used. That could be power.

    Cheapie garage door camera

    "Yes, we have another customer have this issue before. As our experience, it is the camera cable's problem. Do you have another poe switch or poe injector?" I would guess non poe pigtail but they don't make it 100% clear. I already showed them pics and give them the model number of the poe af...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    In case any body else bought cameras from the same seller, they replied to say that the pigtail is wrong and they have had this issue with other customers. They want to send me 2 so that I can replace them myself. ugh. At least I know I wasn't doing anything wrong. It is frustrating that they...

    Warehouse Camera Placement

    What does it look like when it is fully zoomed and what is the max zoom rating of the varifocal? That would be a good way to determine the fixed lens you need. Also, you could mount the cameras sideways so that you have a portrait image rather than landscape. Then you would rotate the image in...

    Looking at first system a bunch of ?s & is this a good deal?

    I see that the 6500 supports quick sync but not hyperthreading. I found on another thread that Ken says BI is highly multithreaded How does that CPU handle BI?

    since there have been a couple of days in between, You have probably read on here that you need at least a 4th gen i5 with quick sync. Ebay has HP Elitedesk 800 SFF for $350 ish. HTH

    At this point, stupid questions are fine. Yes, I am using POE ports on a 802.3af switch. The description says 6w. I messaged the seller, I hope they come back with helpful info.

    Cheapie garage door camera

    I realized the 1.12 Panasonic address is my TV, not a camera! Crap. I was assuming that Panasonic was branded on these for some reason. I can't ping it now because my wife is no longer watching it and it is off. Onvif Device Manager sees my Hik 3345 but not my LaView 902. It does not see...

    Cheapie garage door camera

    @Ford and @Kawboy12R I just received these cams after ordering on 6/9. I connected both to my POE switch and I don't get a link light. However, when I check my router, I have 192.168.1.12 listed now. I can ping .12 unless I unplug it. Advanced IP Scanner shows its manufacturer as Panasonic AVC...

    Alerts from a location without Internet - wireless hotspot?

    That is a good point about logging in and DDNS. Cox has spoiled me with my internet, my IP hasn't changed in a few years. I wonder how much of the free 500MB the Dyndns client updater app could chew through.

    Alerts from a location without Internet - wireless hotspot?

    I found the Netgear 6100d at Freedompop. Seems promising. They have 500MB per month free. I would guess usage could stay under that. https://www.freedompop.com/devices/netgear-lte-gateway I am reading through this conversation for poipnters...

    Alerts from a location without Internet - wireless hotspot?

    A friend of a friend wants to setup a system to protect his shop. It is a steel building out in the country. He has power service but no internet. I have been wondering if a wireless hotspot might be a fitting solution. I searched on here to see if this concept has already been discussed. I...

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d So here are a couple of images from the camera to look at the Zoom slider and the Speed dropdown. I took a few snips showing 2 browser windows open to show that the speed drop down doesn't change the focus...

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d I hope I don't come off as sounding ungrateful for help or too cheap to put a plate in front of the cameras. Neither are the case. I am very grateful for the help I have received so far and I was telling my...

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d Your edit is correct, this is the webui of the dahua.

    Re: LPR is currently looking like about a 50% success, slow cars capture, fast cars d So what I want to do at this point is get a good handle on the focus during day and night before I set out with a target to zoom more and do some tweaking.
