I am looking to install additional IR but want to make the wiring as hidden as possible. How have you don it? My leading thought is to run it under the eve and paint the wire to make it blend as much as possible. How have you done it? do you run it all back to a central location? you can see...

Any thoughts before I pull the trigger on this NVR - http://neotech.ge/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/DS-7100NI-SN-P_.pdf

wow, that's crazy. I did buy mostly turrets because of your recommendations, I guess they should have all been turrets. I think I will figure out an IR story, I just don't want that one time when I really need the footage to be such bad quality that I can't see anything.

good idea. maybe i'll never put the intercom in...

so you are saying the first camera has much better IR? I would think the IR quality between the cameras is similar?

both cameras are default settings, any suggestions on how to fix the second camera? first camera - CMIP1142W-28 second camera - CMIP3142w-28 Grrrrrr. Happy to try stuff...

Yeah bars in the recommendations I will go with one of my extra cameras and skip audio for now until I figure out what intercom system to build. I will research intercom systems in the meantime. The area he want to monitor is about 50' x 50' so one of my extra 2.8mm will do the job. The...

sorry I have mislead you guys. I didn't need feedback on the camera specifically, I mentioned recommendation on the camera only because I don't know of a camera that does two-way audio so I'd want recommendations on that. Since you are recommending audio separate from the camera didn't need...

Let's assume I can build whatever is necessary to get the right cables out there. I am really looking for feedback on the NVR, camera and intercom system you mentioned above.

Like I mentioned above there will be 1 camera but would like to handle growth up to 4 cameras. No gate. Just obstructed view. Any intercom suggestions?

He said he is willing to spend up to $500 but I am thinking it will be much cheaper than that. BTW - if you have suggestions for a monitor that would be awesome. he wants something relatively small, I am guessing 8". Even an ipad mini that can just always display the camera.

Hi all, My dad just asked me to setup a camera for him. He will need something that is dead simple so I wouldn't want to use blue iris. Plug and play so probably an NVR. He wants one camera now but I want to have growth for up to 4 cameras. he would like two way audio also (I haven't messed...

I am currently using win10 with BI hardware acceleration on a i7-6700k and I would like to switch to Windows server 2012 and beyond. Does anyone know if the hardware acceleration is supported on Windows server? (I assume yes but before I wipe my machine i'd like to confirm)
