    Light as a deterrent

    No probs. Where I live, most options are LED by default. I have a DIY LED light system (12V DC) which comes on at night and slowly dims out as described above, using a simple LED dimmer. Floodlights with PIR are already LED. Wonder whether the camera can adjust quickly if the lights come on...

    Review-Dahua NVR4216-16P-4KS2 NVR

    I see so I can just use my laptop to view em rather than needing a monitor! Great, because I'd like to avoid a monitor under my stairs! Thanks. I will look into a POE switch and go for a NVR without the POE functionality. Thanks!
