Greetings, from the cold Midwest!
I stumbled across this forum after doing some research on IP Camera systems. Unfortunately, I found it a day after I spent a couple thou on Lorex.com. Thankfully I found it soon enough as I will be boxing the NVR and cameras back up for a return. I will be keeping the LNZ44P12B because this thing is ridiculous!
After finding this site, I ordered an Edge 4 router and Ubiquiti 24 port POE Switch. I somehow stumbled through that setup and downloaded a trial version of BI and was able to get it all installed and added the PTZ (LNZ44P12B) to BI. I recently ordered 3 IPC-HDW5231R-ZE and look forward to getting those installed this coming week. I spent all-day running Cat6 cable to the different drops. Learned how much of a pain in the ass crimping RJ45 connectors on solid copper Cat6 cable is. Ended up having to cut 4-5 connectors off because the cable wouldn't work.
Anyway thanks for all the knowledge you guys provide!! This feels like it could become an expensive addiction!!
