I started buying Seagate Skyhawk drives since I've had some more issues recently with WD Purple. People seem to think that you may be getting refurbs or similar from Amazon and I'm inclined to agree.

BUMP. $100 shipped.

Link on LTS Website: Platinum Motorized Varifocal Bullet Network IP Camera 4.1MP I purchased this about 3 years ago for a side project and never used it. I unboxed it, verified functionality and upgrade to the latest available firmware. Will come with everything in the box - manuals, screws...

This is possibly your issue. Take a single 1080p camera and set it to VBR with a cap at something around 8Mbps and see if that helps. It's possible that you are hitting your bandwidth cap so the camera drops frames to stay beneath the 4Mbps mark.

Glad that a firmware update worked for you! Post up some screen shots of the FoV!

Seems weird that you can't see the web page of the door bell but I haven't been able to play with it yet. I can take a guess that there is no driver for the doorbell in NVMS that will let you configure it. Can you try a different browser? Any chance that it is a conflicting IP within your local...

Can you post a screen shot of the config options when you go directly to the doorbell? I'm thinking you have to set it to ONVIF on that end.

Plenty of options. What type of recording and access to the camera do you want? Is local storage enough? Do you have power available there?

Is that your budget with installation as well, or are you guys handling the install? I think you can get a decent system for that price. I would definitely map out key coverage areas and minimum resolution and storage requirements before moving forward.

You will not get anything better than 1080P live view. What are you asking?

Any thought to doing away with the PTZ and going with a multi-sensor camera? Arecont (meh), Axis, Avigilon, etc all have different variations out there that give some really good picture and coverage. If it is pitch black at night, I would definitely recommend going with a separate IR and never...

You can definitely do cameras --> switch --> PC and have that as a LAN so they are not accessible to the outside world. You can then open a port on the other network for the 2nd port and have remote access to the machine with BI.

fenderman - I haven't compared a starlight to anything so I can't create a comparison there. I was more so referencing a Dahua/Hik 4MP dome vs. an Axis 2MP dome in normal lighting conditions. I don't get to play with the Dahua/HIKs as much as I'd like.

Just my .02..... I've run Axis/Avigilon 2MP head-to-head with Dahua/HIK 4MP cameras and the Axis/Avigilon's blow them out of the water - especially when viewing in a VMS/digital zooming, etc. More pixels doesn't mean that much of the quality of the components aren't great. I'm a bit biased as...
