Milestone hardware replacement
If memory serves on the newer versions they have a check-box for automatic license activation under the Basics->License tab, if that is checked I've never seen any issues with it automatically going through (not sure the interval though) - If not, I know in the past I've had to just run a...- HereBull

Milestone Essential will be free for up to 8 cams..no recording limit...
If you have the capability of running virtualization like VMware, you can run multiple instances, of course with an 8 camera limit per. Of course since Milestone uses Windows, that means you'll need a copy of Windows for each instance. Milestone is very good software, I've currently installed...- HereBull

Christmas Sales 2021
Hey @EMPIRETECANDY - Wanted to ask, do you carry the NVR608-32-4kS2? If so, how much if on your black-friday deals? Might be upgrading now or in coming weeks and thinking this might be good NVR (currently have 28 cameras) - Or would you recommend something else if newer better NVRS out there...- HereBull

Ordering out of country concerns
Can also confirm, Andy is absolutely worth working with. Before him, it always felt like a shot in the dark ordering on other international sites like Ali-express or Ebay, you never knew what to expect. He's also SUPER fast at shipping, like I've had cameras show up from him faster than items... -
Corridor Mode / Function
That is probably the statement of the year :) One more reason to rely on personal thoughts and experiences on some of these units. As much as I'd love to order one and find out, my boss would not be pleased with me ordering cameras just to see if it works or not for one feature. -
Corridor Mode / Function
Hello all, I am looking to see if anyone can confirm the following functionality on some higher megapixel models for Dahua if it works or not (since the spec sheets don't seem to be accurate in this regard). On some 3MP cameras you can rotate the lens 90 degrees and then flip 90 degrees in the... -

Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)
+1 Would like to add my 2 cents to this as well as I've had the misfortune of dealing with CCA junk before. We got an order from our supplier of this stuff for some very long patch cables used for POE+ electric door strikes and began experiencing a myriad of issues almost immediately. Finally... -
Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.
Just want to say after owning this camera for over a year now, I'm extremely pleased with it. It has survived a major hurricane recently (Florence) that damaged several of my older Hikvision domes due to water intrusion (still not sure how yet). I wanted to ask, is this still the GoTo model... -
Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.
Very professional level install. What is that black stuff you're using to cover that hole? Is that the firewall plug/boot people have linked before? -
What dash cam are you using?
Figured I'd mention I heard a lot of people having troubles with SanDisk (least I think it was SanDisk) SD cards in the Blackbox cameras. One person on Amazon gave a good reasoning that SanDisk cards have some kind of special wear leveling logic in them that conflicts w/ the dashcam software... -
Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.
Finally got my unit installed, up a ladder, by myself....Totally easier w/ a harness and loop belt! Unfortunately I somehow managed to forget the stupid rubber gasket for the PFA box! Gah...Now to put ladder BACK up and climb again, pull the camera off and put it back on :P I'll say this... -
Got my Hikvision Cams
Adding to this, as a habit I like to document IP information (if static) and serial numbers, etc at this point. IE "Garage - 192.168.x.x - Serial# , etc" -
PFA137 mod
Another thumbs up for Toughcable Pro, they have two levels and you're fine with the Pro series. (Carrier series is much better but extremely stiff and VERY hard to work with) Keep in mind that since Pro and Carrier both have shielding in them, you will really want to use the TC connectors as... -
PFA137 mod
I guess it all depends on location and exposure. I've personally had to repair some runs where cheap installers ran indoor Cat5 across a rooftop for wireless AP's. Cable all cracked and brittle, line still ran but I'd be worried about water intrusion at some point. Edit - I live in NC so UV is... -
PFA137 mod
Nice! Hope you're using outdoor rated cable though, UV is pretty harsh on cabling. If I might ask, location too difficult to run cable inside the house to? IE masonry or just hard to get to? -
How do I get the best possible live video feed?
In terms of network bandwidth you should be fine, 10 2MP cameras even at highest quality barely saturated a modern gig ethernet line. When I look at NVR's the biggest thing I concern myself over are: What megapixel level does the NVR support? - IE some of the more inexpensive Hikvision's only... -
How do I get the best possible live video feed?
Are you asking about bandwidth concerns or how to display them? If trying to display, are you using an hardware NVR or software (such as Blue Iris, Milestone, etc)? Either option allows you to dictate display layout, so you can have all 10 up at once and lay them out as you wish. -
switch powered by PoE? passive injector backwards?
So to add to this, I've done this before when I wanted to run cameras off my UPS but didn't have the conduit capacity to run more cable or on a few farms that had no power in remote locations. I found that some TrendNet POE switches had a low power consumption (onboard, not POE capacity) and... -
Aliexpress question
From a security standpoint, I'd also advise against sending copies of your CC and bank info. Not sure why they'd need anything beyond the credit card info, but even then I wouldn't trust sending it via email/skype, etc. I've had good luck with many AE sellers accepting PayPal. I've also had... -
Review-I'll be the guinea pig for the new SD59225U-HNI PTZ.
Got mine in yesterday from Andy (SUPER fast shipping!), must say I'm quite impressed with the build quality of the unit. I will say though, this beast is HEAVY. I'm used to old school Axis 23x's that are light, no way I'm putting this puppy up while on a ladder 30ft up! Wish they included a... -
Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)
Thanks for the detailed response! I got a bit impatient and actually got a SD59225T-HNI instead from Andy yesterday, figured the tracking would be fun to toy with, lol. Next one I'll buy will probably be the 49 then :D The 49 series is just such a good deal its crazy! -
Milestone support company
Wow! That is a complete 180 from the market when this all started. The XProtect Essential licenses were marked as EOL on BH, same with support last I checked around in Nov. I really appreciate you bringing this up as this means we can still add more licenses to our servers at the $50 rate versus...- HereBull

Milestone support company
Go was definitely limited VS essentials. Part of my issue was that before the transition, Essentials was very reasonable entry level around $50 a camera IIRC. Now, if you want to go the buy it once route, you've got to license for express which starts around $70 a license. It appears you are...- HereBull

Milestone support company
I'd like to add to this in that we found out the hard way that Care Plus still doesn't allow you access to call Milestone directly, you have to go through your reseller for support. Care Premium plus an onboarding fee or such does allow you direct access to them though (I can't remember exactly...- HereBull

Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)
Looking to buy myself one of these Starlight PTZ's but I'm torn between the newer SD59230U-HNI. I see some small differences in specs between this and the SD49225t-hn so I was curious what the general view was between them? Especially someone that might have gone from the 49 to the 59? -
