    Starlight vs HIK turrets

    Hi Andy, I've came across some of your cameras on Amazon and had a question or two. I have several Hikvision DS-2CD2342WD-I 4mm 4mp Turret cameras and think they've got some great day and night quality. However I have heard some great things about the new Starlight cameras recently and have...

    Newbie wants wireless security system

    Yep I'm in the market for an alarm system as well, biggest thing I see with most of these systems is that they don't come with enough extra devices for most homes.. and when you do look for the extra devices it's hard to find any for the system. Hoping to find a good wireless system.. I...

    Cameras not working after power outage

    That's one thing I don't have for my NVR that I now wish I did.. Or I could get in there and figure it out easily. I'll likely have to get the guy who put them in back here to fix the problem since he has everything you'd need.

    Cameras not working after power outage

    I had someone put these up for me and configure everything, I wasn't here the when he was doing that. I'll have to get him to come out here when he's free and fix the problem I guess. I wasn't sure if it was a simple reset ( unplug and plug back in) the NVR or if it was a little more technical...

    Cameras not working after power outage

    Hey everyone, I'll start off by saying that I have absolutely no Idea how to trouble shoot this as I'm not a pro with computers or configuration etc. So we had a power outage the other day in my area, I was on nights and got home to find that I am now unable to view my hikvision cameras online...

    Quick question!

    Ok just a really quick question here.. I have a good chunk of my wiring done for my new system, but I'm curious to know if a cellar in my basement would be considered too cool or damp as a place to have my NVR? Or if I should simply stick to having it in the main portion of the house where the...

    Checking car doors at 4AM

    Ahh I know this is exactly the type of shit I'm going to be seeing once my system is up and running.. caught 4 so far, so I'm sure there's more. Handing those pictures to the police should be a positive thing, 9 times out of 10 the idiots doing that stuff are well known to the cops and are...

    Guy checking for unlocked cars

    I've got a mixed bag of 2.8 and 4mm lens cameras. That was hands down the hardest part for me... picking a proper lens for each location, even then I likely won't have gotten it right!. I saw a few samples on YouTube of this camera and it really didn't take much extra lighting from complete...

    Guy checking for unlocked cars

    Are you sure you aren't living in my neighborhood?? lol.. sounds pretty similar to the bs that has been happening here, and I live in a small country town!. Really impressed with the quality, those are the exact cameras I just ordered.. can't wait to get them installed as I know I'll be getting...

    Not impressed..

    Jack B Nimble, I will most definitely NOT pay till all is said and done!, I made that very clear to him and he agreed that I would not have any issues doing so. I'll be sure to throw up some pictures and a review when all is said and done.

    Not impressed..

    Very appreciated Zero-degrees!, no harm done. Things can have a huge variance in price here in Ontario, so it always pays to shop around. I offered to help run wires which he appreciated so that gave me a bit of a break in labor.. I will definitely keep note on the firmware as you mentioned, and...
