Im a noob so take my recommendation with a grain of salt but my suggestion would suggest either a varifocal or a ptz camera. Doing a cat5 run from the house and maybe setting a timber post in the line of sight to the dock if not possible to get too install too close to dock. I think basic...

Does anyone have any more video footage other than stills for the HDW4433c-a ? For a comparison this is mainly focusing on the 2431.

Well here we go. I dont see anywhere more approriate to discuss this. Ive been messing around with putting together a cctv system for close to 3 years now. Ive bought everything i needed and also bought 2 cheap cams from a third party seller on walmart. Those cams cost me a grand total of $50...

Update: I actually see the same ptz controls just by right clicking the camera. Under the bottom of the list. I have the same problem. Once I check a setting ie: IR off. It doesn't actually do anything even though this time the setting stays checked. I've tried this with both the network IP set...

So I found the HTTP setting but everytime I select something like "brightness 5" and hit ok, I don't see any changes in video quality. Once I reselect the the same EDIT box it is defaulted back again to "pan left", the first option on the list. Am I supposed to do anything with /page box or post...

Was watching a video where the guy mentioned adjusting brightness/contrast. Ive installed BI and have gotten the cameras to be recording but would like to adjust a certain cameras exposure during daylight as the sunlight creates an overexposed image. The video mentioned i could schedule this...

Eventually I will buy/build up atleast two more cameras in the front to aid with IDing people. These are just to mostly monitor activity at the doorway without having to go peeking outside. I've done test footage at night just mounting them with clamps and I can get a pretty good ID from 6 to...

The cameras would cover the area in which im taking the picture from but i put in a model so you can see the general location. Ive already done some testing and on the left doorway i think the best view is mounting the camera either on the ceiling or siding but aiming out. The camera has a big...

Sorry about that, no they are all being mounted in the exterior of the home.

Do you guys bother with having the poe cables from the camera exposed? I have a few concerns about camera mounting. If i place them in the ceiling i dont have to worry about having the camera cables exposed as the cables would drop directly into the attic. The only thing that worries me is the...

Since the camera seems to record fine without being connected to any network I think I'll be fine with that. I use Google's remote desktop to access the computer and view the cams/blueiris there rather than through the blue Iris software. I just want to theoretically prevent people from snooping...

Im not new to these forums but im problably a bigger noob than i was a year ago. Thanks to this covid crisis i about finally have the time to set up my home security system. About a year back i was designing/brainstorming everything i needed for my home surveillance system. Not too long after...

To anyone wondering, I ended up going with the 16port gigabit (8poe) linksys. It went on sale for $99 so I bought it. It's not a fancy industrial switch but hopefully it gives me a few years of use. I also looked on eBay for those "Enterprise pulls" and the vast majority we're like 10 years old...

Thanks for the tips. Ive been in communication rooms before and i know how loud poe switches can get. I plan on having 4 cameras to start with and around 8 total. I know im not going to use all 8 poe ports right away because the cameras are somewhat expensive. 8 is my "future number" so thats...
