Hey guys, I didn't know where to post this, but I'm looking for a camera for my friend. She only needs one static camera for inside her apartment. She like the easy setup of the dropcam/nestcam but doesn't want to pay monthly or yearly fees. She has tasked me with this job. I did an install of...

Re: Using POE IP camera as a peephole camera at the main entrance with a video monito But then would the camera only be connected to the tablet, or will there still be some way for it to be connected to the NVR with rest of my surveillance system? Because my goal was to have have a POE IP...

If the issue is fog outside the camera, meaning you live in an area where foggy weather is frequent, then IR wouldn't be as good as a dedicated light. From what I remember on vehicles; You can probably look into light bulb that has less than 3000K temp rating. Probably 2500K, which is a yellow...

For night time, I suggest you invest some money into a good IR illuminater or have a couple of lights on. Infrared in the camera puts out decent light but if you want even better night time video, you'll need more illumination. I went with cat5e and cat6 because they didn't have much stock of...

hmm I have my desktop running at my other place and I remotely controlled the computer and opened the link. It works on that computer which is in another province. So I think the issue is probably with my laptop and trying to tether the phone's internet to the laptop.

So I mounted it outside, I'll try to update here in the future, when it has seen different types of weather.

Hey guys, I've installed all of my cameras, but one. I have installed Mini-dome cameras inside and outside. Inside they are ceiling mounted and the one on the patio is wall mounted. The patio wall mounted camera has a little roof on it, but still exposed to the rain and snow from the sides...

Yes. I just rechecked those ports are open. And live view on the app works fine. The app wouldn't work if the ports weren't forwarded correctly, right?

Hey guys, Everything was working fine for me before and I don't know what happened, but I can't seem to use live view via different IP address. Everything work on local address, but as soon as I tether my phone to the laptop, I don't get live view. I am able to login into my NVR's page but...

Re: Using POE IP camera as a peephole camera at the main entrance with a video monito I did consider the tablet route, but like you I thought about the latency over wifi. So that's why I was considering using that video out. What kind of resolution does that put out? The monitor that I will...

I have already installed 5 hikvision cameras around the house. I have been trying to find a way to get rid of the peephole in the door and put a camera outside and a monitor inside by the door dedicated to that camera. While also being a regular POE Ip cam running along with 5 existing hikvision...

I did something similar too. I wall mounted the mini dome camera and secured and weather sealed the cat5e cable.

If you meet the right sales person, they can sell you stuff on ADI's account. They can sell this way to attract the person to ADI and open up an account in the future. Obviously if you do it 3-4 times they'll need to open an account.

Am I? no, i got the cables coming right out of the holes, I will connect the POE cable to the camera and cover the holes with the camera. I looked at that, that would only work if you are pulling the cable from the top to bottom or vice versa. If you go horizontal to the wall then you will run...

I spent 3-4 just trying to get these three connections to meet in one place. I went out and bought a cheap inspection camera and it helped A LOT. Drilling through Joists and studs was tough. Also went out and picked up a felxable drill bit 72" long. So yea it was fun. Any of you guys have...

why do they suck compared to turrets? pros and cons?

Well I'm in Canada (Toronto) and this store was 5 mins from my house. However They have one or two locations in the US too. Look at this map. http://adiglobal.us/

I didn't know this store existed but they sell alot of home automation and surveillance. There were 4-5 aisles of just cameras. They had almost all the popular brands and some not-so popular.

DS-2CD2132F-I is the model number for all three. So I think it's good

Damn I went out and bought everything locally. I came home and saw your reply. I definitely would've asked you, infact one of my friends is interested in getting home surveillance system. I will definitely hit you up. Since I'm short on time, I had to buy everything locally. it cost me little...

From the research I have done, I think IP cameras are the best fit for my situation. I haven't gotten a response from the seller on Aliexpress. I am wondering if I should look into Nellysecurity. Do you guys think the markup is justified, compared to aliexpress. I just priced out the same...

I think the wifi model also has PoE, doesn't it? or should I just get the PoE version? I did know I was leaving, but I had planned on getting a Dropcam or a shitty D-link wireless cam but the more I read, the more I realized how I need a decent surveillance system. And from their description...

ok, so I have spent some time reading this forum and reading netwrokcameracritic.com I have narrowed down my choices to these: I will install camera 1 at my main door to the house. I will install Camera 3 outside of the room on the second floor. So imagine that it will be installed about 30ft...

After doing more research and asking around. I think that having a dedicated PC running blueiris is better than having a dedicated NVR. Do you guys prefer a NVR/DVR over a PC running Blueiris?

Please design me a hikvision Security system for $1000 *[UPDATED]* hello I have been doing a lot of research into home security cameras and the more I look, the more options I see and it gets hard to decide. And I need a good security system asap because I am leaving for a month and I need to...
