    Dahua NVR5216-4KS2 / NVR5216-16P-4KS2

    Great thread! After reading through, there were several notes of the PoE version being loud and muffling techniques - foam, placement, etc. While I am using a Lorex with their 60 day return policy and the noise is a legitimate reason to return. I am very tempted to create a video review that...

    Lazy Package Deliverer

    That may be true or a strong reprimand, or what ever as we just don't know. But I tend to think in a macro level - to change behavior for the larger group it improves for everyone. Essentially as co-workers learn, either formally or through the grapevine, the awareness impacts their behavior. As...

    Lazy Package Deliverer

    Gotta love Amazon! I had a similar clip from my Ring doorbell which precedes my full camera install. The item was a cheap coffee mug wife had to have that didn't break. Sent the low quality clip to Amazon. Refunded the purchase plus $5 credit on future orders, extended Prime membership 1 month...

    WiFi Extender & Bluetooth

    You may be right as I tried to check specifications before posting, but appears most keyboards for PC use an RF signal on the 2.4 GHz spectrum (much like TV remotes, IR for 'line of sight' and RF for 'indirect - through walls/obstacles'). Logitech does make one (model K480) specifically labeled...

    WiFi Extender & Bluetooth

    I may not be the one to reply as I gave up on Bluetooth. While my Logitech keyboard and mouse use Logitech's USB module, it is not Bluetooth but wifi and works great. Added Bluetooth as bought a very premium Bower and Wilkins headset and the nightmare began. Tried two different USB dongles, both...

    How do I get the best possible live video feed?

    The biggest problem I see, even if the NVR supports 4K - your source is the 2mp ultra Starlight whose maximum is 1080p (1920 x 1080). You will be in the position up upsizing 1920x1080 to at least 4000x? (didn't do ratio math). The problem with upsizing is that it simply enlarges the original and...

    Camera placement review/suggestions

    Due to company, won't we assembling this weekend but received the unit yesterday. Initial setup/testing with one camera and will definitely be going back. Cannot believe how loud it is. Granted was set up on top of desk, but even if hidden in a closet would give off sufficient noise calling...

    Camera placement review/suggestions

    Per my other discussion, the Lorex 4 camera system with 60 day return arrives tomorrow which will serve during my 3 week trip and get to know. Also ordering a Dahau 2MP Turret and the 4MP Zoom bullet separately for planning final system and cross comparing. Wiring home with CAT6 and don't want...

    Lorex vs Dahau

    Why do I want cameras? As a professional photographer I travel a lot. Perhaps "home" a total of 7 or 8 month a year. Last month in CT and Massachusetts, next month will be in Switzerland for a month or so. Obviously, remote monitoring is a must. Neighbor's home broken into when they took a 10...

    Lorex vs Dahau

    About to pull the trigger on a 4 camera/NVR 'starter' system that can add to later. Ruled out Reolink and Swann - based a lot on what is posted on this forum, but the one that has me most interested in the Lorex HDIP84W (4MP LNB4321B or substitute white LNB4163BW) and NVR (NR9082) for $799 less...

    CAT6 - Shielded or unshielded

    I was thinking of PVC because it is so easy to work with. Conduit was for cosmetic purposes primarily vs the individual wires clipped to the wall. Looked at EMT at Home Depot today and it was so heavy for something that doesn't go all the way to the floor and given the location, not certain...

    CAT6 - Shielded or unshielded

    About to purchase IP camera NVR system and while they typically come with CAT5e, if running wire, may as well do CAT6. I need to upgrade my existing computer network runs anyway which I believe were the original CAT5. No problems with the existing 2 network line which are primarily data. In my...
