Ok, great. What would you suggest? I want the interface of an NVR where you can drag around and review the footage, but don't need to actually buy an NVR (since my server is much more powerful anyway). Right now I have to manually click each 5 minute file and then open the next and the next and...

I've got cameras set up to record to a server. I am looking at getting Blue Iris (or an NVR alternative software) on my PC for the better interface. Right now I just use VLC to view everything but I've got to open cameras one at a time in VLC and then go through the windows saved files to review...

I don't think they are to that point quite yet (~60's). Maybe in 10 years or so. Thanks! I think you are right regarding the small business checking on the cameras. My last company I worked for we installed an AXIS camera system that was basically only used by me (no one else ever cared to...

A Honda accord for transporting up to four adults and no cargo typically. A Chevy Suburban for a family of six-eight. A Ford Ranger for a single person with towing needs (up to 7,500 lbs). A dually if you have need of towing horses. See that wasn't so hard when you actually put in a little...

Well that's a good question. I would go out on a limb and say the average place isn't going to spend more than, say, 3-5 grand on a camera system (for a small/medium shop or restaurant, let's say 800-1600 sq ft). So you tell me. Can we get that for the previously mentioned budget? Can we see the...

So then is that an argument, if you have a 4k camera, to record the footage in 2k res?

That's good, thanks. Yeah, I don't expect to be able to make out a hooded masked guy in the middle of the night. I'd say my expectations are relatively low/reasonable. Just knowing, "hey someone was on my property at this time and they are wearing a hoodie" is probably sufficient. 1. I'll...

That's great, thanks. So how about a small business, what would they typically use? Let's say a restaurant, gas station, laundry mat, that kind of thing. I'm sure they aren't paying $1,000 per camera, are they? Are they just using the consumer Chinese junk too? Basically the same as a home...

So I'm doing a new IP camera system for my parents, they want roughly 6 cameras. I've been looking a ton on amazon and costco for complete systems and also individual cameras and I have some questions. Before I ask them, here's some background. At my house I have these cameras...

I would probably run cat 6 if I were you. Here's why: A box of solid copper 1000 foot cat 6 cable only costs about 120 bucks. You probably save 30 bucks over similar quality cat5e solid copper and maybe 70 bucks on the cheapest, CCA cat5e cable. The previous guy is correct, the bandwidth on...
