    Help in Choosing NVR/Cameras

    Stable, stable, stable...It really is what I want more than anything else. I'm going to close all the search tabs I have open right now researching i7-4770's, I need to spend my time selling more management contracts.

    Help in Choosing NVR/Cameras

    I have to say that the whole thing is intriguing, but I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off with a non-POE HikVision or Dahua system that I could just plug in and go with? Do all the camera controls work with BI on all the Hikvision and Dahua cameras?

    So I was reading your post at cam-it about your initial build with the BI and the 4770 processor. You mentioned that if you tried high frame rates and motion detected cameras that the processor would explode. Why is that? Is it because motion detection is constantly turning on and off or some...

    OK, that at least shorten's the learning curve in terms of downloading tar balls or whatever... So does anyone bother with doing any sort of mirroring on the drives? Does the OS ride on a separate drive so we can keep the video captures discreet?

    To clarify, the VMS of which you speak is this one: http://www.hikvision.com/UploadFile/image/2012120106044654056.pdf, correct?

    I seriously have to resist the temptation to Roll My Own with Blue Iris. I have a Linux based phone system and ran a Smoothwall firewall in my home for about 6 years. Up time has been terrific, but my nature is to get into the weeds a try to learn how to do things when I should be buying...

    Does anyone have an opinion between Dahua and Hikvision in general? Is that like bringing up religion or politics in polite company? It is election day...

    Does VMS have all the same settings/features as the dedicated NVR? I have loads of old PC's hanging around that would work in that capacity. Win 7 64 has been very reliable in my office.

    Can we count on the UI to be just as good, (or bad), on a given NVR if it's rebranded, (Hikvision/LTS, Dahua/EyeSurv)?

    What is your opinion of "Turret/Eyeball" style cameras? Network Camera Critic made a very compelling case for the ease of installation as long as they were 3-axis style, (another reason to like the HikVision line, they have a lot of choices for the turrets, at least on Nelly's). Can't remember...

    Is the Hikvision VMS software a complete OS, or is it an application that rides on Windows? I would rather have a dedicated machine, given a choice.

    Hello all, I have been lurking on this forum for a week or so trying to understand IP camera systems in general. I own a property management business with two offices. We just had an issue where one employee accused another employee of theft, (to management, not directly), and my interest in...

    Four cameras. My impression is that they offered the service for anyone who wanted it, but aren't really trying to expand that side of their business, (big company, good service on the alarm side). I assumed some level of monitoring of the cameras for that amount of $, but no joy...

    Hi all, I've been lurking on the site for awhile now trying to understand security camera systems since my business was robbed. Spoke to my security alarm vendor and they said they would be happy to install a system for about $1K and an additional $65/month, (nice work if you can get it)...
