    CCTV transmission system

    That might be a bit low for good quality 5MP video, depending on camera video settings and codec. The diagram shows a single 1Gbps fibre uplink from each building. Is that correct? That may get quite congested with 80-100 cameras aggregate plus multiple workstations traffic.

    CCTV transmission system

    Add up the bitrates for each of the cameras connected to each PoE switch, to discover if the traffic level can be handled by the switch backplane and uplinks. The bitrate required for each camera will depend on how the camera video encoding is configured, and what codec is selected.

    Alternative way of recovering HikVision NVR password

    The 'trojan horse method' of finding an NVR admin password depends on the fact that apart from the later versions of NVR firmware, it was the NVR admin password that was used to 'activate' an 'inactive' camera when first plugged in to an NVR PoE port. And then the backdoor vulnerability of...

    Alert on simple contact closure. Any suggestions?

    How does that do recording? It seems just to be a set of USB controlled relays. Unless I've misunderstood the spec. Many cameras, and more NVRs, have the ability to trigger recordings from wired alarm inputs.

    New Shed - Camera Suggestions

    And unless because it's not yet completed, and none of the ties are yet in place, what's to stop the roof from simply lifting up / moving due to air pressure fluctuations from wind gusts?

    Hikvision NVR 256-CH No enough network bandwidth

    There are 4 ethernet interfaces. If you can trunk them all, this will give you the needed capacity, and spread the load.

    Hikvision NVR 256-CH No enough network bandwidth

    How are the NVR ethernet interfaces connected to your LAN / what is the capability of the LAN interface? Are you trunking the NVR ethernet interfaces / how many are connected?
