Hey guys,
I hope you are all doing well.
My first post here. Please be gentle.
I am looking at buying the Dahua TiOC 2.0 PTZ camera, mainly for Active Deterrence and SMD.
I am located in Melbourne, Australia. I usually buy my security products from Security Wholesalers.
www.securitywholesalers.com.au
I have also reached out to Andy from EMPIRETECANDY to see if he comes out with a better deal.
As much research as I could muster in my spare time, I still have some questions I was hoping some of the expert members here could assist me with.
Q1. I am looking at buying the Dahua DHI-NVR4108HS-8P-4KS2/L 8 Channel Compact 8PoE 4K H.265 Lite Network Video Recorder.
Will this NVR be compatible with the TiOC 2.0 PTZ camera, or be overkill?
I may install one more Dahua camera later next year - Dahua IPC-PFW5849-A180-E2 Dual Lens 180º 8MP.
Hence, it would be best to future proof now.
Q2. I am a Mac user, and currently I don't have access to a PC running Windows. So, will I still be able to configure the Dahua TiOC 2.0 PTZ camera and the NVR via macOS / iPadOS / iOS?
I might consider buying a PC for running Blue Iris. However, for now I just need to be able to configure the camera on my mac to get it up and running.
Q3. This will be a PoE setup. I will be installing using a corner mount bracket such as this: Dahua PFA151 Dahua Corner Mount Bracket – Security Wholesalers
on one corner of the building. Could all the other extra accessory cables (external power if not using PoE, mic, reset, etc.) be hidden away inside the wall mount bracket without the need for a junction box?
Q4. I am going to be using these cables for all my PoE needs: Will CAT6A cabling be adequate for security cameras for some years to come? I just don't want to have to hire someone to re-do the cabling in 5 - 6 years time.
Thank you, and all the best guys.
