    Reliable sub $1k NVR, 16-ch

    Excellent, thank you for this! You wouldn't happen to have a working mms.cfg would you? I've tired building one for IE and for Chrome, and in both cases the error message goes away but the flash player doesn't actually load. It looks like the latest version of Chrome removed the ability to...

    Reliable sub $1k NVR, 16-ch

    Part of the challenge is time. Between working full time, plus running a business separate from my main job, and wife and kid, there just isn't time to source and build. I need a solution that comes out of a box ready to turn on and run. I'm a computer engineer by trade and built my main work...

    Reliable sub $1k NVR, 16-ch

    I've got a mix of cameras from 3 different brands so matching them all isn't realistic at this time. I was able to get them all working with my current NVR, however my current NVR relies on Adobe Flash for remote access so it's basically obsolete, which is why I'm shopping for a new one.

    General question on use of POE switch for NVR

    Just run a separate switch for your camera stuff. Put all of your cameras and your NVR on a dedicated switch, put the rest of your computer stuff on a different switch, connect them through 1 port. That will keep the traffic between your cameras and your NVR separate from the rest of your...

I'm looking for an appliance that boots from internal flash (won't be dead if the hard disk fails) and does not need constant attention, set-it and forget-it type of thing, no windows...

    General question on use of POE switch for NVR

    I bet your NVR is sending you a less than 4k stream, so it doesn't take much to decode and display it. Decoding and displaying a 4k stream just takes more computing power. If your CPU is getting hammered, check if the software you're using can take advantage of hardware decoding in your...

    ONVIF door camera recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend an ONVIF door camera with a fish eye lens and audio? If it is known to work with GW Security NVR's that is a plus. I've been all over the web and all I can find is cameras that want you to use their cloud service, but I want to use my already existing NVR. :)
