    Recommendation for Wireless router / Bridge

    Exactly what I would do, buy LocoM2 or LocoM5 and turn the power to try and keep the signal level 50 or over, you will see around 90 mbps or true throughput, I install UBNT radios daily and they work well

    Setup cheap IP surveillance system

    With the cheaper cameras you will get discolored video and the image will not be as good, also with wireless you can lose frames if they are dropped allowing your thief to get away. also going with a blue iris can be pricy it may make more sense to good with a nvr the same brand name as your...

    Types of Cat6 cable recommend for surveillance runs

    I have had to climb many towers, replace several radios and revisit several customers due to the ubiquiti cable (i own a WISP), they offered to replace my cable but who did we know we would not be back in the same boat in another 1 to 2 years, it cost us a lot of man hours for that reason we...

    what would be the difference between these 2 cameras??

    If you know you need a 2.8mm lens I would get the 2332, the IR is better and the domes have been know to give of IR reflection, however hikvision has released a troubleshooting guide to help fix the IR reflection in the 2732F. If you are not 100% sure you need the 2.8mm lens with the 2732F you...

    Wife pushed me to buy a DropCam but I'm thinking about returning it for a HikVision

    Re: Wife pushed me to buy a DropCam but I'm thinking about returning it for a HikVisi You can record directly to an SD card that you can place in the camera or you can purchase a cheap NAS to save your video too

    Assistance with Cam Location?

    I think in that tight of an area you will want a 2.8mm lens and I think the 2532 would be a better fit as it is much smaller then the 2332

    Assistance with Cam Location?

    What is your overall goal of the camera? To get a picture of a face coming in the door? If so that location may be to high unless the person looks up. What is under the 2nd step of steps? is it a closet or space you can gain access to you?

    small grocery store setup

    You don't need a true gigabit switch due to the fact the cameras are only 10/100Mbps but make sure to get a switch with at least 1 gigabit uplink port

    small grocery store setup

    the issue this blue iris there is NO specs that you need to meet, it depends on many factors such as FPS, MP that your recording at, etc.. @fenderman would be the guy that could tell you best with the blue iris for sure, but I would bet the machine would be in the $1500 range maybe even higher...

    small grocery store setup

    another issue with with 20 to 24 3 MP cameras is you have the chance of overloading a 100Mbps uplink so you have to make sure that either you NVR or Blue Iris box is using 1Gbps uplinks to the switch that your cameras are connected too. if you feel that you would rather run a NVR you are for...

    small grocery store setup

    Due to the height of your store/building you are going to want to use the Hikvision 2332 turret cameras as if you used bullet cameras that can be easily turn by a vandal where the turret camera would be a little harder to turn. For the area you want audio you are going to want the DS-2CD2532F-IS...

    That camera is HD CVI not IP based so you will need a analog dvr card if using Blue Iris or a NVR that supports HD CVI cameras

    Suggestions on new cams

    @kylen, hikvision or dahua do not make PTZ that $100 camera sorry, you best bet is to increase the amount of cameras to get better coverage. the 2332 is a great camera and IR on it is pretty decent. I personally would recommend starting with 4 2332 cameras and see how the coverage is for you...

    dahua vs hikvision, what is better to get?

    I agree with @vector18 seems the hikvision gear is easier to get support for in the US, then the dahua. So it just comes down to personally preference to which one you go with. I personally am going with hikvision if I install anything for another person but I will try both hikvision and dahua...
