    NVR and 6 cams

    So I figured out how to move the cameras around in the NVR and IVMS 4200 GUI, I never would have expected drag and drop on an NVR. Next problem, I unplugged 2 cams to work on mounting solutions, now I can't get them to add back into the App. Any ideas?

    Big Lag in Video Performance with Hikvision DS-2CD2432F-IW

    Forgive me for approximating this answer. I think you will be able to make sense of it. It is under the properties of each camera, video tab, then the Setup button (something like that), you will see the option at the bottom.

    NVR and 6 cams

    Thanks Del Boy. So I have logged into each cameras interface and added a name on the overlay text. I have also added the 2 indoor wifi cams to my wifi. However, I am having a few issues. 1.) I am using 6 cameras on POE, so I have 2 ports that show No Link. I would like to be able to assign the...

    NVR and 6 cams

    So I switched from importing, to using Nellys. I got 16ch NVR and 8 cameras. As I have read, the NVR is not exactly silent. I can hear it running from the hallway. It is supposed to live in a media room closet... I need to call them on Monday and see what other alternatives they have. Upon...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    I just looked at that, it says it ships within 5 business days. Thanks for helping me notice the writing on the wall, so to speak. I hope it delivers by next weekend.

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    So I placed the order for the IR light 2 days ago and paid $20 to get 3-7 day shipping. It has changed status from Verifying Payment to seller is processing order. For future reference, is there a faster way to get shipments? Maybe one form of payment is processed faster than another (I like...

    NVR and 6 cams

    I had to apply for an account with them to see the price of the nvr. They process a background check. I think I'll call Steven at Nellys or stop by. I just feel bad buying only the nvr though him.

    NVR and 6 cams

    Thanks. I contacted Milk before posting this thread. He just sent me this: Hmm i would do a LTN8708-P8 for the NVR app you can use ivms4500 from hikvision cameras i would use CMIP3042 / 3042W (if you need wdr) http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ip-netw...cmip3042w.html (available in 4mm or 2.8mm)...

    NVR and 6 cams

    Hi all, I am looking for an NVR system with 6 cams. I need to get a 6 cam setup with an NVR. I am thinking 4MP on 4 of the cams, and maybe 2mp on the others. I need the NVR to support these cams via POE as well as remote access and a viewing app. I am still working on the lenses I would...

    USB 3.0 VS eSATA Hard Drive

    How far are you trying to connect? I suspect you are trying to cover several yards and eSata doesn't support more than a few feet https://www.google.com/?ion=1&espv=2#q=esata%20max%20length

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    I ordered the IR light you all recommended. Thanks again!! The list of helpful suggestions goes on! Great pic! I would have never considered a POE splitter to use 12v. I did just buy some 12v barrel splitters today though. I just ran a shielded burial cat6 cable up to the pole where this camera...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    The Ir lens you are using was making me think that you were using a different product that had only one emitter. Thanks for your extra effort to make that clear to me!! To answer your earlier question, I'd say the target distance is about 60'. Good info on the IR illuminator thread too. I need...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    What is the mounting point on that IR cannon? I can see a raised area on it that makes me think it will have a couple of bolt holes like the Dahua has. Right? If so, I am hoping to find a spot in the enclosure where I can drill a hole or two.

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    I agree with all of your comments. I settled on the one I linked because I have a bunch of solutions to come up with asap. I cancelled it just now. I can see the one you linked will be much better. Nyar's would be better as well, but I was only seeing the type I linked before... Do you have...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    I think I am going with this enclosure: http://www.amazon.com/Evertech-Security-Surveillance-Heater-Blower-Weatherproof/dp/B00LU2NLIA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463411789&sr=8-3&keywords=camera+enclosure The product page I found says it is 4.5" wide. The Dahua I want to put in it is 3" wide. I...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    Thanks for the quick reply @nyar ! You are right, this one doesn't need to be discrete. I will just go with Amazon options then. Not sure if I want to add 12v back to power a fan, but I guess I can get an enclosure that includes it just in case. My final question is IR. This camera doesn't...

    Enclosure and solid IR filter questions

    I went to install this Dahua IPC-HF5421E (specs) as an LPR and I ran into two issues. 1. It doesn't fit the enclosure by 1/4" :sad:. (See pic) 2. The enclosures have an IR lens (see dark circle in pic). I had a hard time adjusting the image settings to get a usable image. So, I need to get a...

    Larger single HDD or multiples

    Great info! I agree that space is a prime asset. My PC is SFF, so I can squeeze 2x 3.5" with 1x 2.5" if I unplug/delete the dvdrom. Mini towers cost an extra $300 (ebay off lease and outlet stuff). If my pc can handle the load, I will order a single 4TB purple (my 5TB is a WD green) and either...

    Larger single HDD or multiples

    Thanks! Milestone spec'ed a server based on a request i put in, and he suggested 2 HDDs. I would have gone with fewer drives until he planted that bug in my head. 7 Panasonic PW502 @3mp, H.264, 10fps 7ACTi Encoder running LPR, MPEG 740x480 10fps i7 4790, 8GB, 1x 7200rpm 146GB for OS, 2x...

    Surge protection for POE

    I have seen lightning arrestors for network cable. I think it supported POE. I think I saw it on Ubiquitis site when looking at ToughCable. The cable has a built in ground that is wired to connectors. I haven't used any of it, just wanted to make you aware of the concepts. (On mobile)

    Larger single HDD or multiples

    At what point (of throughput, individual cameras, etc) does it make sense to add more hard drives instead of a single larger drive? I ask because I am trying to spec out a replacement server that is from 2011 that uses 2 separate storage drives. I don't want to find out I am limiting...

    Audio Device not available in BI

    I wouldn't try connecting 2 power sources at the same time. If you want to try 12v at the microphone dongle, switch to a standard switch, not poe. Though the mic needing power doesn't really make sense.

    Audio Device not available in BI

    I changed that setting and restarted the service. I also checked the camera audio settings. They look good. I have also tested 2 way audio (not just Cam to BI) and it works. I am still confused...

    Audio Device not available in BI

    I'm trying to get audio that the camera captures. My clips used to contain the audio, now they don't. You are both right, the mic drop down is empty because I don't have one attached. I am just trying to find a setting or something that is causing the issue...

    Audio Device not available in BI

    I haven't had audio on my records for a while. I decided to look into it. Here are a few printscreens showing what I see. 1 way audio has worked in the past for me. 2 way never has. I think BI used to be able to see my audio devices. Does anyone else have this behavior?

    Is a 2Ghz 8-Core CPU enough for Blue Iris?

    I don't see anything about Quick Sync support on that processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/87039/Intel-Xeon-Processor-D-1540-12M-Cache-2_00-GHz Not sure if ESXi supports QS.

    BI app freezes if I leave it open for a while

    So I have noticed this happening at least one other time now. I open the app and full screen all cameras. After a while, the image is static and old. Home screen and back into the app clears the problem. Has anyone else seen this? I have been thinking about using a cheap tablet as a viewer that...

    can this splitter be used?

    This is a good option with room to grow. Assuming the 601 supports 802af. TP-LINK 8-Port Fast Ethernet PoE Desktop Switch with 4 PoE Ports (TL-SF1008P) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003CFATT2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_PgtixbE1VFJ8Y
