The Web GUI has options for day/night switching. Most of these ACTi cameras have a slider control with a 0-100 value of when to switch between day and night. I would try different values. admin/123456 is the default factory username/password for these cameras. I would assume they are checking...

ACTi's own software NVR system is free to use with their cameras.

dannieboiz, are you familiar with ACTi cams and their NVR software? I think it might work well in a commercial setting. I like the NVR software and it's designed for server/client: server can run separately from one or more clients that view the video feeds.

I have this Linksys LGS116P. I believe I'm using all eight POE+ ports. Most are POE cams, but two have zoom which uses a few more watts and one IR illuminator needs POE+. http://a.co/eKTUoqp

The Carlon PVC conduit parts I used included female/male threaded pieces that fit onto the pipe. But I don't know if those threads are compatible with your camera junction box. They also make female/female couplers and reducer bushings that might slip over the junction box threaded adapter. I'm...

If you are using NO, then it looks like you need to use wire terminals 8 & 9 (C & NO) on the motion sensor. On the Crystal Maxlife, page 3, it looks like you need to use the specified resistor on one of the lines, otherwise when the Bosch shorts the line, it is considered a tamper, not an alarm...

I recently installed a motion sensor and light over my driveway. I wanted a low voltage solution that could also trigger the digital input on a camera. I used a Bosch OD850 motion sensor and a Raytec var2-w2 white LED light. They both run off the same 12V supply. If you're searching for a light...

I did not do the installation yet, but I bought direct burial CAT6 which I will run inside PVC conduit. I spray painted the conduit to match my vinyl siding. My previous installs used regular CAT5e and it's held up for years. But it's not exposed, it's above the soffit.

I use ACTi cameras. I think there is a way to have the motion detector's alarm signal trigger two devices if I daisy chain them and use the correct type of trigger (either NC or NO). I did not get the hardware yet so I have not tried it. That is a good point about the white light turning off the...

Hi, first post. I have three IP cams and one motion sensor that triggers the DI on one of the IP cams. I'm interested in adding two more cams and also IR illuminators which I have never used before. I was thinking about also adding a white floodlight over my driveway, triggered by motion. I was...
