    How do Uniview cameras stack up against others?

    I use Uniview for pretty much every install and have never had any issues with them. And if there is ever a need for tech support they actually answer the phone in a few rings and speak English. And they have a 3 year warranty on everything they sell. I would rather pay a little more and get...

    Can anyone identify this Nvr?

    The yellow sticker is the business card of the original installer. There are no numbers or markings at all on the recorder. I have a feeling it may be a rebranded Dahua due to the cheesy menu. I opened the cover and found bo useful info inside either

    Opinions on Cloud based video surveillance systems ?

    On average I install 3 Systems a week and always use a VPN for remote viewing. If a customer is really concerned about someone hacking into the system. The only way to really prevent that is to not have the system tied into the internet! Most of my larger commercial accounts have a dedicated...

    Wireless cameras recommendation?

    Wireless cameras recommendation?

    One bad thing about wireless cameras is they are garbage! If you cant get a cable to the camera location maybe call a electrician to install the cable for you. and install a quality ip system. I have never seen a wireless system that has worked properly. and they have a pretty short life span.

    How do I connect speaker and mic to IP cam?

    Best bet is to use the audio out on the nvr and connect into a amp. The speakers built into most cameras a horrible its basically the same speaker that is used in a cell phone. you can get a small amp from amazon and a bullhorn style speaker and that should be enough to get someones attention.
