Actually, I did some research a couple of years ago when I was thinking about reprogramming the keypad password. The alarm still works because I accidentally set it off one day while fooling around with it. There's a siren on the roof and it's loud enough to wake the dead. There are sensors in...

Thanks, kawboy. I currently have an alarm system that covers all the entry doors and has motion, carbon monoxide, smoke and heat detectors. It has a siren on the top of the house that's loud enough to wake the dead. I know this because I accidentally set it off one day when I was playing with...

Thank you, kawboy, for your prompt reply. That's just the information I was looking for. I was thinking of using a 4.1MP 2.8MM turret for the stoop area but I think your suggestion of a 4MM turret is the way to go. That particular location you suggest will also give me excellent coverage of a...

I have one final question. I need to select a soffit mounted (8 ft. above ground level) camera that will allow me to identify someone at my front entry door. I don't mean "facial recognition" as it applies to using software to identify someone already in a database. One of my other planned...

Thank you, fenderman. You know, I've spent weeks researching all these issues and I still can't seem to understand a lot of it. I've watched the videos. I've looked at the pictures and the charts. I've read article after article after article. I'm retired and I spend hours at a time trying to...

I have a question for you, klasipca. I've selected the cameras I'll be buying. The cameras I'll be using are all 2.8MM except for two of them, which will be 4MM. They will all be turrets with the exception of 2 or 3 bullets. All the cameras will have DWDR, 3D Digital Noise Reduction, 1/3"...

Thank you, klasipca. I've done so.

Hey klasipca. Is the LTS you mention the same as this link: http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/ If so, do you have to be a reseller to purchase merchandise from them? Does LTS provide the warranty/repair service? Are their Hikvision products made for the U.S. market? If so, who provides the...

Thank you very much, fenderman, for the information. I appreciate it very much. As I told klasipca, it was your post that prompted me to do the research that led to the discovery of my mistakes, especially the mistake concerning the CMOS sensors. I think I'll still go with the 4 MP models of...

Thank you again, klasipca. I need to correct some information on my previous post. I spent some time researching the post made by fenderman concerning the IR cut filters and that's when I discovered my errors. I've been studying, for several weeks, all the Hikvision cameras and NVRs at B&H...

Thanks again, klasipca. At the beginning of this thread I stated "I've spent weeks researching different issues such as frame rates, resolutions, megapixels, data flow rates and angles of view and I'm still not competent enough to arrive at certain conclusions." That's a fact, which again, is...

Thank you, klasipca. I appreciate your prompt reply. Yes, I care very much about warranty/repair and support. That's why I'll be buying from a Hikvision authorized seller. There are three authorized sellers I'm dealing with and I'll choose whichever one gives me the best price. These sellers...

I need some assistance with cameras and angles of view. I've spent weeks researching different issues such as frame rates, resolutions, megapixels, data flow rates and angles of view and I'm still not competent enough to arrive at certain conclusions. I'll be using an 18 port/18 channel IP POE...

Hello ColBogey, I'll be using this software to configure my system: http://www.jvsg.com/ I'll be buying this NVR so the software will be imbedded. I'm fairly certain that it will handle whichever cameras I choose. The seller I'll be buying it from was referred to me by a Hikvision USA sales...

I'm still in the first phase of configuring a 12-16 camera IP POE system. I'm not very knowledgeable about security systems so I'll have a lot of questions. I always spend hours or days researching a subject before I turn to forums to seek advice from those with knowledge, skill, experience and...
