    Interior Camera with microphone and speaker

    Is there a camera, Dahua or Hikvision, that has a speaker and microphone that works as well a phone? It has to be very clear in both directions. I see many have microphones but can't find any with speakers. If I have to I will settle with one that has a clear microphone.

    Import tax

    Does anyone have current information on import taxes for purchase made from overseas. Many have purchased from empiretecandy and I was curious if you incurred additional expenses/taxes after the purchase. Has the dollar limit changed from the $800.00 I read on the site? This info is for US...

    Who Watches The Watchers?

    Interesting so he just decided to speed through your neighborhood. Did you follow him to see if he was responding to a call or do you just like to degrade local law enforcement? Grow up!

    BI Alert Distance

    I've seen numerous videos here where the cameras see much further than 400 feet without zooming. If BI has nothing to do with it what does? If the camera, then my question should have been what is the maximum distance the camera can be set to so an alert is activated? I just want the camera...

    BI Alert Distance

    Not sure if I phrased the question properly but what Im after is the maximum distance BI will set off an alert. My driveway is several hundred feet long and I want my camera to alert me immediately when someone approaches. Camera would be approx. 400 feet from driveway entrance. Would you have...

    Hard drive stopped recycling itself?

    How would one save older updates in case of a problem? If you did roll back to an older update would that also negate any positive attributes of the newer upgrade?

    Hard Drive choice

    Thanks DavidDavid An ssd for the main drive would be great it would be worth more than the entire computer so that opinions out of the question. Just concerned about the difference of the two in my first post.

    Hello

    Thanks Yojinbo I will will keep that in mind when researching. For the POE switch I'm going with an 8 port unmanaged whether I get a NVR or go with BI, which needs one anyway. Personally for BI just go to the website and purchase. For the guts of a system seems pretty cheap.

    NVR vs BI

    Mr fenderman I have read many of the threads, I'm sure not all, and decidedly BI is the favorite choice. There however must be many satisfied users of NVR's and I was hoping for some input from them. As far as costs go setting up BI with used equipment vs new NVR is probably a wash. The...

    NVR vs BI

    I have no experience with either an NVR or BI software. I initially was leaning toward BI but am having second thoughts. BI seems to offer much more than an NVR but with added complexity and cost. An NVR seems on the face of it much simpler but offering fewer capabilities. I need something...

    Cameras

    Thanks Chris527 I was looking at Nelly's and I need to figure out what their product numbers are vs Hikvision. Esenta looks promising, they sell how about service? Kind or a short list though. Looks like many here buy from overseas and the prices are very inviting. I just don't want to spend...

I'm in the process of trying to choose a computer for the BI software. I'm looking at the Dell XPS or Aurora i7-7700k. Based on my readings here...
