If possible, I would go with the NVR5208 because it support 320Mbps and give me room to grow in the future

:) as someone once told me.. "Can you teach a turkey to fly? " :) yes I have see a wild turkey flew.. :)

I think the manufacture set this option to reboot once a week just in case their camera run into some issues. I just got my system up and running and still learning as I configure them.. I do plan to disable the weekly reboot.

On some of the location that I plan to install is about 10 feet high. With multiple cameras that I plan to install, it is very high chance that some cameras may be able to see other camera locations.. so yes, if someone would be messing with the cameras, some other camera would have caught them.

Hi I just bought a Dahua Turret Camera DH-IPC-HDW44A1EN for testing and evaluation. The dome body (camera ball) are made of metal but I was disappointed with the Dome enclosure and the Dome pedestal made of plastic. It take some practice to disassemble the Dome pedestal from the Dome...

thanks for the info. Make sense

If using Hikvision camera, I would use the Hikvision NVR such as the 7716NI-I4/16P. but your Hikvison camera is 4MP, and the 7716NI-I4/16P incoming bandwidth is only 160Mbps. So you are probably some how limited by the bandwidth. I like the Dahua NVR as some of the model they have with built...

1) do you connect the 2 POE switch to the 2 ports POE on the NVR (kind of like expand more ports?) If your NVR can only support 16 Channel, by expanding more POE ports (i.e. connect more than 16 cameras) can the NVR see more than 16 cameras? 2) Have you tried loading firmware released from...

@Daybreak, did you buy the US version NVR or did you buy from Aliexpress? do you use external PoE switch or PoE is build in the NVR? I am also leaning towards Dahua NVR.

@Viking967 I think which (either Dahua or Hikvision) NVR depends on how many cameras, type of cameras and if you will need build in POE switch.

@nayr! Thank you !! Perfect timing..

Looking at some NVR where they publish their specification for incoming/outgoing bandwidth. If buying a PC to run BI, Is there a specific type of motherboard to meet the incoming/outgoing bandwidth?

I am also learning as well.. I think it depends on what kind of camera, MP, total number of camera and bandwidth. 7716 seems to max at 160MB/s incoming bandwidth. Dahua has some model that is 320MB/s

I think a 2.8mm probably will work best.

Does anyone here tried the following brand before and could you please share your experience, comment etc. ? thank you! 1) Honeywell 2) GeoVision 3) VivoTech 4) Interlogix 5) Speco Technology 6) Flir

nayr Thanks for pointing out the legality for audio recording in my area. I am located in CA and upon checking from the following sites, I no longer want to pursue the audio option. Just not worth it. for those interested, you can read the below Alarm Law & issues...

Both Hikvision & Dahua camera specifications indicate WDR is either 120dB (sometimes 140dB) or DWDR. It appears to me that the higher the WDR, the price of the camera also go higher. When the spec state DWDR, what is the equivalent dB ?

I am planning to install IP cam using cat5e or cat6 cables. I have some questions and your help and guidance are very much appreciated. The camera that I plan to use now does not have build in Mic or support Audio in/out. But for future upgraded purposes, Do you recommend pulling two cat5e...

if an appraiser needs to come back for second day, then he is not a great appraiser that can take good picture. It is good that you capture the license plate. At least you have something on record.

So if I have a Monitor and mouse connected to the NVR directly, it does not have the features like you describe? My plan is to put a monitor, mouse and Keyboard (in Room A) connected directly to the NVR (which is in Room B) using converter thru Cat5 cables.

could be a appraiser that is taking pictures for Comp?

NVR expert, Do you know if Dahua's NVR US version NVR54A16 (or non us version 5416) has the ability to let user to do a quick search for an event that was recorded in the continuous video? I saw from another thread that Hikvision's " ... HDMI/VGA interface playback timeline gives the ability to...

If possible, please share your experience between the two systems or camera. How about the pic/video quality? thanks

I am not a Hikvision expert. I looked at DS7716NI-I4/16P but have not decided to buy yet. Are your NVR Hikvision US supported? it seems that the 76xx and 77xx model we just release in spring 2016. May be Hikvision in USA has not come up to speed to release their firmware support? I recall...

Does anyone has any experience with 1) Dahua's DHI-NVR54A16-16P-4KS2 with 16 DH-IPC-HDW44A1EN cameras ? or 2) Hikvision's DS-7716NI-I4/16P with 16 DS-2CD2342WD cameras? I am thinking of either system for 16 POE cameras. (prefer to buy US version for warranty purpo will go with the same...
