    IP cam advise needed, for use with qnap NAS

    There will be some Chinese characters for day of the week on the video timestamp, however I think it can be removed somewhere in the settings. About internet explorer/active x, no, it can work with other browsers. Possibly not Chrome, not sure if they've sorted that yet. If you're interested...

    IP cam advise needed, for use with qnap NAS

    That's a Chinese version with multilanguage firmware. You can get that same camera in an official english version so for that price it's probably pointless to get the Chinese version. The 4x zoom I linked to is not available in official English version though, and I'm struggling to find a...

    It has IR hidden behind the black cover which surrounds the camera lens, common design by hikvision these days.

    IP cam advise needed, for use with qnap NAS

    This thing is a bargain, only downside is it's only available in China, I may hunt for a multilanguage version though. http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/prgs_1142_i10433.html Costs approx $70 2mp mini ptz, 4x zoom 3-12mm, 30m IR, microphone, sd slot

    Why mess with lower resolution IP or even non-IP cams any more?

    You would be surprised how much different image quality between camera sensors can be, especially at night. Don't assume that image quality is based soley on how many pixels it is. Each sensor can have its own advantages and disadvantages.

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    Forgive my ignorance, but if you're using keystones, you'll then be using stranded cable from them to the camera, and to the nvr? I thought stranded cable is not suitable for PoE.

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    Solid core is not meant to be moved anyway, so why do you have to worry about insert/removal cycles? Btw, there are rj45 connectors specifically for solid core cable.

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    Pretty clear the products he's buying are Western Region. There's no 2142FWD-I in China and it says 'US English Retail' The NVR is 7608NI , I means it's the international version.

    motorized Varifocal vs zoom vs auto focus cameras...What's the diff?

    Standard varifocal, you must physically adjust the zoom and focus on the camera with a small screwdriver Motorized varifocal, you can zoom in and focus from the camera web interface. PTZ is a motorized varifocal with pan and tilit capabilities. "So given a negligible price point, why not...

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    Are you saying it's typical to expect to be charged ~$1500 on a ~$1500 job to cover the installers own expenses? Because it's either that, or the NVR actually is complicated :)

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    I would have thought the margins on the hardware were included in that $1300 labor cost. I know enough about professional installations to know that's practically double what it should be for a non-warehouse 4 camera installation. You'll always get people who charge more because they think the...

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    $1100 for an NVR? It must be one of the complicated ones, which is something you definitely don't want. Nothing wrong with the much simpler ~$300 ones. Yes, $250 per camera is expensive. At that price, it's too low to be one of Hikvisions higher end cameras. But their standard range, even at...

    Please help me with security system for an optical shop

    Fenderman is right, your upload/download speed from your ISP is completely different than your local network speed. Since your internet is slow, you won't see any impact on a standard 100Mbps network. Remote viewing will use the same amount of bandwidth on a tvi or ip system, assuming you have...

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    I think smart ir is just a gimicky name for auto exposure. It's probably not increasing the exposure time enough. Same kind of issue here, go to 1:55

    5 MegaGixel 1/1.8" low light destroyer for $90-AVOID LONGSE JUNK

    Looks like there is smart IR, I can see it dimming towards the end. It just takes a while to dim down which is something I see on my hikvisions as well. Btw, I think I know that intruder !!

    EXIR Turret Camera's 2335 v 3335?

    3xx5 are the consumer cams in China. Usually have plastic base, 1 year warranty, ip66, cheaper. 2xx5 are distribution cams. Usually have metal base, 2 year warranty, ip67, a bit more expensive. Those prices are horrible btw. You can easily get a 2335 for 60 pounds delivered from aliexpress...

    Dahua 12mp Vs Hik 3mp Comprison

    It's not more zoomed in, just resized/cropped them differently. The 3mp hikvisions are definitely great cameras, just not in all environments. Here's the 2 videos I got the crops from, just noticed now that the 3mp is actually set to 2mp, but you can still tell the sensor is worse in this...

    Dahua 12mp Vs Hik 3mp Comprison

    Outdoors maybe. But honestly the 3mp sample you posted looks extremely fuzzy, there's no detail or sharpness in even close objects. Here's a comparison between a 2mp and 3mp hikvision. You can see that the 3mp is worse because once there's not much light, it loses all detail. Both are taken at...

    Dahua 12mp Vs Hik 3mp Comprison

    The 3mp hikvisions are only good in the bright outdoors imo. Once you bring them into low lux environments, they turn into a blurry mess pretty quickly.
