Hello All,

Greetings from NYC! I got thrown into managing an Exacq based mixed IP and analog camera system with over 200 cameras.
Came here for the knowledge on IP cams, switches, networking, etc. as the system is a mess and will be pestering youse with million questions. Get ready! :)

Welcome! Westchester dude here but born in the city and my entire family is from the city. Where about are you? Our roots are the Upper East Side.

BTW good luck with that system, seems like it could be a hell of an opportunity as well as a headache.
 
Welcome to the forum.
I lived in Peekskill NY of 10 years, and went to college in the Bronx, NYC, I am now a hard core southern boy...

Please read the cliff notes and other items in the wiki. The wiki is in the blue bar at the top of the page.

Quick start
1) Use Dahua starlight cameras or Hikvision darkfighter cameras or ICPT Night eye cameras (Store | IP Cam Talk) if you need good low light cameras.
2) use a VPN to access home network (openVPN)
3) Do not use wifi cameras.
4) Do not use cloud storage
5) Do Not use uPNP, P2P, QR
6) More megapixel is not necessarily better.
7) Avoid chinese hacked cameras (most ebay, amazon, aliexpress cameras(not all, but most))
8) Do not use reolink or nest cameras (they are junk)
