This will be deployed in a covered doorway protected from water so it should be ok. But perhaps not the best if more exposed to the elements.

Not bad. I found this product by wiremold which comes in 4 3/4 and 5.5 in diameters. The 4 3/4 is a good match for the base. The larger give an extra inch all around. I am trying to find a white one. Locally I can only find beige:(. You may need to add an extra hole or two to mount the...

I want to mount this camera on a front doorway stone wall. The pig tail which includes leads and audio cable is fairly bulky to put directly in to the wall. The plate that comes with the camera is a 4 3/4in round 1/4 in depth. I need some kind of mounting box/pan that can work with this...

Same problem with the 2532

I can direct you to a few options. What is your email

I have one installed in my backyard. The daytime image is good but I would caution it is not designed to see images that are further away regardless of it being 10MP. I have some Hik as well. It has 10MP but it is spread out on a 100+ degree radius. While I can see cars driving by 120...

Milestone is even worse in the sense that you have to pay for updates after the initial period is over. I like the features but given MS costs you need to be able to justify it. Hopefully some of the more cost effective solutions catch up. I would love not to use Milestone because of...

The other thing to keep in mind is playback and finding content. I think if you are using all Hik their NVR may be a better bet for overall cpu resources over BI but I've never used it to know. I have been using Milestone and its fantastic for playback. If you are willing to spend the...

POE switch is simply an Ethernet switch that can deliver power on some or all of the ports. When selecting a POE switch you need to be sensitive to the max amount of power delivered on a per port basis but more importantly the total power budget available on the switch. 26 cameras is a big...

The E77 had an introductory price which I believe ends this month. I bought at the introductory price and moving it at my cost. I'd be happy to sell it for more if you like :). I haven't been able to figure out how to attach the image. It doesn't give me a browse to get images off the...

$275 ACTI E77 10 MP Dome Available in Canada I have a brand new never opened ACTI E77. I'm located in Canada where they are a lot more expensive and a little harder to get. I just have too many of them. Its available for $275 CDN plus shipping or pickup.

Well FWIW I decided to go with a build using the i7-4770K (got a deal on cpu) - 500GB SSD, 4x3TB WD Red drives. Still deciding whether to use BI or try Milestone.

I'm about to pull the trigger on the T20. I looked at Supermicro and ASUS as an alternative since they give a little more power and drive flexibility as well as support for Hyperthreading which is only supported on 1230+ chips (T20= 1225). That being said the T20 is so nice and compact on...

Thank you NCC! Have you had any experience with either the Trendnet TPE224WS 24 port POE Smartswitch or the DLink Web Smart Switch 24 10/100 POE Ports, 4 Gigabit ? They both seem to have mix reviews. I'd like to get more than 8POE ports just in case.

This is quite a range between the NUC, T20 and Digifort design tools Xenon E3 system (~$6k). I'm thinking a server with 4x 2TB SATA Drives and RAID SW. I'm thinking under 2K for everything. It needs to be able to process 8 cameras but also viewing and playback.
