    RJ45 corrosion problems ? and power q's

    Hello Has anyone had corrosion problems on the network cable on outdoor cams and is there any substance that can be used like dielectric grease to prevent this ? Also can the hikvision cameras be powered with the poe and connect with wireless so basically using poe instead of 12v adapter ? I ask...

    DS-2CD2232-I5 - IR light is visible

    I think a few IR spotlights would act as a deterrent to potential villains if they can be seen glowing slightly, they would probably think they were cameras

    PoE requirements for HIKvision

    That's all looks nice ! My problem is the layout of the property where a centralised PoE controller and gigaswitch cannot be implemented and oh how I wish it could ! So I'm stuck with having to use multiple smaller devices although now you've pointed out what's available I'll look out for it...

    DS-2CD2232-I5 - IR light is visible

    How about using a separate IR floodlight and then turn off the cameras IR ( if that possible with a hikvision) I have a small IR emitter that certainly works with my Tenvis and it turns itself off during the day

    I bought a Linksys 320N wireless router and configured it to work as a gigabit switch,WAP and NAS, there was no firmware changes needed just set to bridged mode,changed it's IP, set DHCP to relay to my main router - works fine - not bad for under £20, I just bought two more off Ebay for less...

    HIK 2632 varifocal

    Not sure why they don't ask for this on other hikvision cameras? On my Tenvis cameras there is a box to choose from 50 or 60 Hz. Do you like the camera ? Thanks

    I/O ports and lens size q's

    I'm considering one of their new lighting controllers so I can light up a whole remote area manually or automatically and trigger the cameras -maybe add a speaker system that plays dogs barking and shotguns being loaded and cocked !

    I/O ports and lens size q's

    Further into the planning stages I remembered about a lighting controller I have in my house that was fitted by the previous owner in 1989. I had to dismantle the unit to find out who made it and it lead me to this Link here These are high quality PIR's and this unit seems to be ideal for...

    PoE requirements for HIKvision

    Indeed I have many options and I do like reliable quality stuff but sometimes I just can't justify certain options from an expense point of view but time is money so you have to take into account the ease of install and maintenance. I'm looking at buying some older adsl wireless modems which can...

    PoE requirements for HIKvision

    The gigabit version is this Here and then there are these injectors Here I have 240v and rj45 cable in all buildings and I may get away with just one Dlink gigabit switch in the middle building and then use DC adapters for the others or maybe give the cheap 4 port a try -just need to find a...

    PoE requirements for HIKvision

    My problem is that I have 4 buildings a long way apart so I'd need 4 x PoE switches which start at $80 for the DLink multiport unit or I could use the single port units which are about $30 -$40 plus power supplies.Bit of a minefield out there in PoE land

    I/O ports and lens size q's

    Hi I notice there are some I/O ports on the 2432 camera has anyone used these for anything ? I was hoping to wire an output to a buzzer in the house or maybe to an alarm system and maybe install another remote PIR so it starts recording before target gets in view also Not sure what the...

    unique job coming up, multiple nvr vs wifi bridges

    I have a similar sprawling property with five buildings approx 50-60 yards apart. I ended up running cat5 cables inside MDPE water pipe along with a multicore phone cable and then I put a hub in each building.This was done mainly for internet access as its just out of range for wireless but I...

    Good info The 2432 seems to run about $110 on aliexpress which seems good value I like the PIR feature which as NCC points out is more reliable than motion detect-perfect Also I'm looking into the PoE option with those neat adapters and I may upgrade my own network to use PoE hubs so long as...

    Tenvis Cameras

    Hello I got 3 Tenvis cameras running at the moment and I've been happy with them but I recently bought another newer version and the software is really bad rendering the camera virtually useless for what I want, It's unusual for an upgraded product to be worse than the previous. I mainly want...
