I don't have a photo right now, but I just installed this model (2CD2532-IS) at my front door entry right on the surface with no box; I used a 1.5" bit and was easily able to stuff the pigtail in there with both the LAN and I/O connections without damaging anything. I did securely tape them up...

Is there a specific reason you don't want to do motion detection? Also, referring to your 30 day requirement; Obviously it is your choice, but if this is just a residence, why would you need more than a week of storage? If you get broken into, it probably won't take too much time to realize it...

Thanks for the reply! I finally got back in town from work so I could figure this out.. I spoke to someone at Nelly's and we sorted it out.. Short story is, one of the 2 camera I had connected to it somehow got set back to 3mp resolution.. This caused the nvr to constantly reboot... Very...

Just a quick update; I got mine installed at the front door and I am pretty happy with the built in audio.. I can hear pretty clearly someone talking in my driveway up to about 20' or so.. Gets a bit muffled after that, but I don't really care beyond 5-10' away anyways... Great little camera...

Not sure on the bitrate off the top of my head, I'll have to check.

Hmm, I think the ip is good, but I can double check. As far as cameras go, I have 2 and I am pretty sure they are set at 1080p@15fps each..

Excellent points; I haven't installed a ton of cameras yet, but so far I've powered up every one on my bench to at least verify it powers up and to configure network settings... At work this drives me crazy, as most of my jobs are out of the country and getting parts/material is a pain... I...

Guys, I got my ION all set up and connected to my TV via HDMI. I haven't installed a HDD as I don't plan on recording. It was working working fine initially, but yesterday it started beeping every 30 minutes or so.. Still seemed to be working though. But this morning the beeping continued...

I was surprised, but there is no fan on that netgear! I'm getting the 7716 from LTS.. I haven't played around with it much, but I think I can turn off the leds on my other netgear switches.. As far as the power budget, the Hikvision cameras I have are all rated at 7 watts with ir on, 5...

The price difference between a poe nvr and a non poe nvr is close to one of these; http://www.amazon.com/Netgear-ProSafe-M4100-D10-POE-Managed-FSM5210P-100NES/dp/B00AUEYX0Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1405131957&sr=8-3&keywords=netgear+poe+switch+8+port I just got this switch and am waiting for my...

Thanks Milk, but I think it will be fine either way. My primary requirement is the form factor and the Alarm contact... The audio was an extra that would be useful, but not the main requirement... I'll let you know either way what I find.

Well, I will say the documentation doesn't really shed any light on it! The terminals are labeled I/O/GND/A.... I choose to interpret that as Audio In/Out and the Alarm contact.... To me, alarm I/O makes less sense but who knows... Hopefully I will get a chance to get it installed in the next...

I just received mine yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet.. But, there is a hole in the cover for the mic, but it has some material covering it on the inside, presumably to keep out insects.. There is an audio input on the whip with the alarm connection, I could always...

Thanks; I just ordered the ION from Nelly's, so I should be able to get that going in the week or so. I also just got the rest of my cameras this morning, so I will be working on that for the next few days anyway..
