correction to my post on spelling, its a "Mier" unit not a "Mirror" unit. Our HOA has already ordered a Mier air conditioned & heated Nema 4 enclosure. Probably something like this (but I'm trying to get specific model numbers) Mier Products BW-1248ACHTW | Air-Conditioned & Heated (ACHT)...

Thanks looney, kind of what I figured. What's not made in Asia Pac these days! Is Geo Vision good enough if that's what I am inheriting? As far as NVR, software, camera's from a reliability and accessing stored video perspective?

Well I am learning more about what our HOA has done in the past and what is currently being installed (done before my time) for our HOA entrance security system. The HOA selected a security vendor who is putting in: 1) a Nemo 4 enclosure with an AC/heating component from a company I believe...

Thanks guys! Great advice / discussion. The comments are in line with my thoughts as well. I'll post back as we make progress here in Vegas so we can all have another data point

Looking for experts advice. Our neighborhood is upgrading our front gate drive entrance / exit. Since we are in the Vegas area there has been much discussion about how to protect recording equipment from the intense summer heat. Current thinking is some type of housing unit for pc and storage...

Curious on how the non-professionals really use their security cameras and associated hardware/software on a regular basis. I ask this because prices and features keep getting better and better but the reality as evidence by all the Q&A on forums like this indicate lots of tweaking, fine tuning...

congrats coney27, can't wait for your updates on experience with these new bad boys!

likely a dumb question but, given the high security conscious group on ipcamtalk, do people here generally use a VPN service provider for general web access as well as their own VPN tunnel for security devices? Or just the private VPN tunnel?

Here is the Hikvision Color Vu 2.0 flyer

I saw a press release on Color Vu 2.0 which seems to be from 15 October (see attached). Thought I also previously saw a reference to Acusense 2.0 which brought person detection to the on camera accusense (I believe first gen Acusense on camera was zone detection only). Maybe Acusense 2.0 is...

Thx guys, by the way is my Linksys WRT 1900 AC (running DD-WRT) basically past its useful life? I have gotten many years out of this so that would be ok if its time to upgrade. Is it worth the potential hassle to use this as an access point with a new router? Or compatibility issues and its age...

Are there any speed/bandwidth concerns with OpenVPN? I have a Linksys WRT 1900 AC that I am pretty sure will provide me with OpenVPN. Luckily my home is in an area with Fiber that is pretty inexpensive monthly. I am planning for remote access to cams for live viewing (not admin). Wil OpenVPN...

Thx Looney......great signature comment!

Two questions: 1) Any real world users of on camera Acusense 2.0? How do you rate the latest greatest Acusense AI regarding motion detection and the ever elusive goal of eliminating false alerts and better "type of object" detection (i.e. car vs person). Sounds like "2.0" has brought more...

Thx Sebastian, great advice! It does sound like remote access via android browser & VPN (i.e. UI3) is the more stable approach vs. an android app. Again I am sure there are some out there who have good success with an android app but that might be a little thin ice for the average user
