    BI vs NVR

    Do you have a suggestion on an 8port POE switch? I only plan on having 4 cameras 6 at the most so 8 would be plenty for later for me. Also i cant find the power consumption for the 5442 vari focals.

    BI vs NVR

    So I am in the process of building my setup and am still trying to figure out the best way to get my video.

    So looking at some of the suggestions on the one post that was suggested. Thinking of using the following. A 5442 fixed lens 2.8mm to put on my front porch to cover my front door and i think the FOV we cover enough to get some of the front windows if aimed right. A 5241-Z12E at the corner of my...

    Hello all, I am from WV and have some questions regarding camera systems. I built a house about 5 years ago and when I did I ran cat5 to about 16 locations on the outside of the home. Right now I only want to install 8. To save cable I ran all drops to a central spot in my attic to a POE switch...
