    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    All of a sudden since I don't agree with a few of you here , I am a nut case and my credibility is in the tank and have no experience with VMS or other stuff you like. I don't like windows for security anything. If you like it I am fine with you making your choice and I won't insult you for it...

    Do you really need a NVR with a small deployment

    I am not familiar with iris and I personally would never run a camera security system on any windows platform. I like dedicated nvr systems running Linux. Security is better and if you get the right one you get good processing power that can provide maximum resolution on all channels. Some...

    HikVision firmware vulnerability effecting Alibi IP Cams

    That doesn't tell me anything, Are they bullet cameras? If so, They may be HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I if so you can get latest firmware from hikvision. Several companies rebranded that camera. Post several photos of one here. Still I think Allistair can help you here better than anyone for this...

    Help with cable run layout?

    I really like TAPCONS since I started using them You don't need an anchor just drill and screw them in with an electric impact driver. - they work for me better than anchors and screws. You can get them in many sizes. I get them at LOWES. More expensive then plastic anchors but they hold. You...

    Help with cable run layout?

    I am not familiar enough with it, as long as it is copper and not copper clad aluminum it will probably be fine but I have never used it so I cannot say. By now you know I only share what I actually know and not try to guide someone irresponsibly. Maybe someone else that has actual experience...

    Trying to Idnetify an unbranded camera

    You mean SADP does not see the camera? That is strange... then you can try other network scanning open source software. There are several that can get the ip and the Mac but I prefer SADP because it can see devices that are not on the same subnet your pc is on. If you don’t know the up address...

These pics are from a hikvision bullet you only need to remove the three...

    New home pre wire for outside cameras -Help

    One poster said make sure don’t use CCA , Copper clad aluminum. He is absolutely right. It’s a lot cheaper and a very bad choice. Stay with solid or stranded copper. Also, last time I checked cat 5e and 6 have the same identical specs. Only difference is 6 was tested . Are you going to put this...
