Hey JTS I never was able to get a door chime to work with my Hikvision IP camera alarm output. The infrared photo beam works great for alarm input and email notification afterwards, but I'm sure that I am missing something on the door chime. Lost patience in trying.....

Okay so I purchased a 12vdc door chime to work with my Hikvision IP Camera. I have a infrared sensor already that I use for line crossing emails and now I would like for audible notification within my house when someone breaks the beam. I have connected the door chime to a 12v power supply and...

My mother in law who is the City Office Manager basically told me the samething when I mentioned placing a camera on the utility pole. Can not attach anything to their pole..

I would agree, but all of our car door checkers seem to drive through my deadend subdivision first and come on to my property on the way out. My thought was they may see the camera and if I could get them as they come in I would already have their tags. I have already had locked up the last...

Guys what about this setup for lpr reading? I already have cat5e ran to my driveway entrance columns and I was wondering if the Dahua IPC-HDW2231R-ZS would work here. I really don't want a bullet camera here as I want to probably paint the exterior of the camera to match the brick. With the...

Wow!!!! Smart idea on the plastic and twine. I would agree about ole "Mr. Murphy" seems to happen to me often. I'm a firm believer in running extra cables for the "just in case"" I need to add something later.

Thanks wtimothyholman!!!! I'm getting some great ideas from everyone.

Thanks great advice.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have thought about the bird box and or mailbox for hidden cameras. Might possibly do this. Thanks!

No power at the entrance unfortunately. I have looked into the Ubiquiti products and they look promising.

Guys thanks for the feedback. This site never disappoints! I think I will look into an alternative location for a lpr camera as the distance and lighting might be a challenge or the results won't be what I need with the Dahua 12x. Those larger cameras are nice, but they are pretty big and...

I am wanting to purchase a camera such as the Dahua IPC-HFW5231E-Z12 to record license plates as they enter our subdivision. There is only one way in and out and I have the corner lot, so it would be ideal for me to do it for all the other neighbors. I currently have a Huisun PTZ 10X mounted...

Thanks sneakcyber. I ordered the chime and relay from amazon, so hopefully the install goes smooth.

Guys can someone point me in the right direction on setting up a audible warning. Last fall I was able to install a light sensor at my drive entrance that is wired into my alarm input. This has been great to reduce the number of false line crossings I had previously used. Well this past...

Thank you Vasycara!!!!!
