Thanks, is there a specific setting? I cannot find it :-)

Hey guys, got 2 of these cameras. One is working well, but the other doesn`t match the 2 sides properly, see attached pictures, do you know how to fix it? Also do you usually keep the illuminator on at night?

OK guys, I have been reading the whole post about the new T180, I think I am sold and probably buying 2, one for the backyard and one for the driveway. I have a newbie question. The T5442T-Ze has an identified distance of 5.8 while the T180 7mt. Those distances mean "Value or less" or for a...

@Perimeter @wittaj and all the others Thanks guys for the precious tips. I have been testing the cameras today and ended up with a few questions before my final order. 1) is the varifocal the right choice for the 2 sides of the property? I am wondering if it is better to go with a 180-degree...

This is gold, thanks for directing me to the right post. I have got all up and running. A couple of questions: The number of settings on the cameras and the NVR is outrageous :-) Is there any guide to learn about everything? I guess I will need to start with the basics like recording to sd...

@wittaj the first lot of cameras was delivered :-) I ended up buying this NVR DHI-NVR5216-EI + PoE switch and the following cameras to be tested: DH-IPC-HDW5442T-ZE; IPC-HDW5442TM-AS; IPC-T5241H-AS-PV. Also got the micro sds on their way ;-) Now, when we talk about testing, what do we mean in...

Ok guys, test camera, NVR and switch on their way. Any guide on how to test them with the laptop? Do I need to have a laptop fully dedicated to the system?

NVR: after reading around I have sort of realised it is better to get a non-POPE. Do you usually have a power switch in the roof area or run a cable from where the router / NVR is? Is there any risk of getting things on fire :-)

Ok guys, I had a bit of read-around and I think I have shortlisted the below as suggested by a few users: 1: This will act as a doorbell too in a way that I can see who is around and set a standard message for the delivery guy/intruder. It also needs to have a deterrent light. Camera 2 will...

Hey guys, the more I read the more I think I will get into it Now it is just a matter of buying the right cameras, nvr, cabling and bit and pieces and I will probably even run the cables by myself Hopefully I will be to find good guides around to set everything up

Thanks guys for the tips. Does it take much to set everything up or should I get a specialist? I am sure I will get there, just don`t want to spend days on it :-)

Thanks @wittaj. Based on what I need, is there any brand / model you would recommend in particular, including the NVR? Please keep in mind the models here in Australia could be limited. Considering the bad experience with the "professional", should I buy all the material and get someone to run...

@Perimeter I already have a Bosh system inside the house. I am mainly looking at cameras to cover the outside area and monitor while we are not home, I guess the main reason is to identify people before the get into the house. I don`t want to spend a lot, just need something reliable and...

Here is a picture of what I am talking about :-)

I also would like the 2 way mic on a couple of cameras of the set...
