    BRAND NEW Complete Home Surveillance System

    I still have this system for sale, selling for only $1,200. Never installed. Paid $1,785 for everything included. I can meet anyone in the Washington, DC area. Otherwise, shipping would be added to the price.

    BRAND NEW Complete Home Surveillance System

    Thanks for the replies! in addition to my intended installer being unreliable, I'm getting transferred to another state and will probably be renting for a couple years. I suppose another option is keeping the equipment for approximately another 3-5 years until another transfer to an area with...

    BRAND NEW Complete Home Surveillance System

    After a lot of research, I purchased a complete setup from Empire Andy. Unfortunately, the person I hired to install the system didn't work out. I have 7 IPC-T3241T-ZAS cameras, 1 IPC-T5241H-AS-PV 3.6mm camera, an NVR 5216-16P-4KS2E, WD Purple WD102PURZ 10 TB 7200 RPM 256MB Cache Hard Drive...

    Camera Mounting Options?

    That's what I was afraid of. The height of my soffits are just unfortunately too high for ideal placement. Thanks again for your reply.

    Camera Mounting Options?

    My soffits are unfortunately 11' high. Is there another mounting option besides drilling holes on the brick walls?

    Camera Mounting Options?

    Thanks for the picture, that is very helpful. Is that mounted with a junction box?

    Camera Mounting Options?

    Ideally, I would like to install Dahua turret cameras underneath the eaves. However, the tree in the one picture and lack of space in the other picture seems to limit placement. Can the lens orientation be changed so the turret cameras can be mounted vertically? Are there any recommended...

    Ethernet Cable Quality / Source

    Is there a specific vendor (ex. Amazon) or brand (ex. Monoprice) of cable that is recommended? The ethernet cable will be installed from soffits through the attic. I researched older threads and found the following recommendation but didn't know if there is a newer recommendation...

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E vs. NVR5216-16P-4KS2E

    Thanks for your response. Does that mean both NVRs are identical except the 16 channel provides the ability to add a separate switch later for additional 8 PoE cameras? I don't understand why a 16 channel NVR does not have the capability to support 16 PoE cameras out of the box. I tried...

    NVR5208-8P-4KS2E vs. NVR5216-16P-4KS2E

    I initially intended to buy the 8 channel (NVR5208-8P-4KS2E) NVR until Andy mentioned the 16 channel (NVR5216-16P-4KS2E) as an option for only an additional $40. I almost placed the order for the 16 channel before Andy mentioned it was only 8 channel PoE. Although I don't see the need for more...

    DIY Installation Questions

    Thanks for your response! I'm glad to hear CAT5e will work fine. I initially decided on Dahua 3241 cameras since it's varifocal instead of the Dahua 5442 cameras. Do you mind briefly summarizing benefits of the 5442 over the 3241? I have learned a lot from the Wiki notes you mentioned and am...

    DIY Installation Questions

    I'm about to begin a DIY project installing several POE cameras and am hoping for some clarity. 1. Is there any difference between CAT 5e and CAT 6. I originally intended to install CAT 6 but am now wondering if it's worth the extra cost if there is no added benefit. 2. I have several...

    WD Purple Questions

    I really don't know much about backup UPSs but found the following three options. In addition to the NVR, I will probably connect my modem, router, and NAS to the UPS. I just don't want to overpay for something that's overkill. Any thoughts or recommendations are appreciated...

    WD Purple Questions

    @looney2ns Thanks for your reply and all of the information you post on this forum. Can you clarify what is meant by "put it on a good backups"? I will likely only be able to afford one drive fr the NVR and will probably be able to buy a micro SD card for each of the 8 cameras. Any...

    WD Purple Questions

    Yes, thanks for the correction Biggen, I did mean TB. Would I be good if I only purchased 1x8TB rather than 2x4TB? I'm assuming the 2 HDDs are for redundancy purposes in case one HDD fails but that's just a guess. Thanks for the clarification regarding the RPM and cache.

    WD Purple Questions

    I'm preparing to purchase WD Purple HDDs for a Dahua NVR5208-8P-4KS2E for 8 IPC T3241T-ZAS cameras from Empire Andy. I'm thinking of getting 8GB storage (1GB/camera) but am confused whether I need to get 2x4GB, 1x8GB, or 2x8GB for the DVR. Also, what RPM and cache is recommended? Thanks for...
