    Mounting cameras to trees close to the street viable with new Hikvision strobe light cameras?

    Sorry for the delay, I missed the notification. A LPR would probably be a good idea like yours to get the plate of the car that comes when the wheels are stolen.

    Axis 221 with Hikvision DS7608 NVR?

    Due diligence unfortunately is a buyers issue not seller. Unless you asked them if it was compatible and they said yes, then you wouldn't have a case.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    Thanks. Specs don't seem half bad since they are confirmed. Still cautious if it's true English firmware from Aliexpress / eBay.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    I was looking and found sellers on ebay too. Probably safer to buy from eBay for 65 in case of fraud I would think. If the cameras only for daylight would the 4mp unknown Dahua camera be better in your opinion? I'm going to send a email to Dahua if I can find a contact page and ask them about...

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    Was looking on Aliexpress in similar price point and found this that claims English firmware and can be upgraded. Might be dceent price to performance vs the 2mp I'm thinking? Also just as I was about to buy this B&H sent the code for 54 for the 2mp camera. They are catching on. IPC-HDW2431T-AS-S2

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    I sent a email earlier today to see what they have to say. Maybe I'll get lucky like you did. What was the quantity limit? Also thinking of getting the 1.3mp just for the basement as I need coverage to see what's going on and it isn't risky. Just want to see if there's a sewage backup.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    What's your suggestions at around 75 from Dahua or Hikvision based on Andy or B&H pricing? It proba I'm thinking of trying the colorvu Turret next without the spotlight on for a front door camera at night. I want to see color at night at least for certain areas.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    I actually wanted to get 4 once they came back in stock due to the wide fov and 2mp plus 5 year warranty.

    I would wait to see what Andy has to say if he has anything comparable.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    Now they are taking advantage as according to the last rep I spoke to 64.95 was normal price without discounts. Wonder what Andy has it available for.

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    It's been out of stock and B&H raised the price to the normal price of 64.95. At 65 I'd rather get one of Andy's cameras and wait. 52 though it was quite a deal while it lasted. When I asked B&H about the price change. "My apologies this is due to a recent sales pricing special from Dahua...

    Doorbell suggestion

    Can any doorbell camera be used with an existing intercom system? I currently have a Panasonic intercom for when someone rings the bell.

    Mounting cameras to trees close to the street viable with new Hikvision strobe light cameras?

    Hi everyone, In order to reduce people attempting to go through cars or breaking in would it be a good idea to mount cameras directly on the tree next to a parked car that can see the vandals with the new hikvision spotlight cameras? I would assume they would be less willing if they see the...

    REVIEW: Budget 4MP Turret Comparison - IPC-T2431T-AS vs Chinese HDW4433C-A

    Thank you I'm new here and I wasn't aware. Off topic but if I were to purchase directly has anyone had to deal with import taxes if so on what value of goods?

    New Dahua N22AL12 Budget Cam w/Starlight

    I saw these added to B&H and and thought even for a bare minimum budget camera specs didn't seem bad. Can't wait for more reviews and input on these. The $80 Dahua budget 4mp cameras Andy showed seem excellent too on a budget.

    I figured around 300 to install each camera so your numbers sound correct. Anyone you recommend?

    Recommended installers in Queens and Brooklyn New York.

    That email was all we got back no details included for the type of cameras they would use etc. The original installer went out of business the business closed so the email, phone number etc don't work. The system I would say is 3-4 years old. The existing cameras are all dome cameras. I'll check...

    I wonder if there is one for camera / security installers if so I agree probably adds to the cost.

    Recommended installers in Queens and Brooklyn New York.

    They didn't want to do it but should have just said no the first time they came. The old system even could have been kept and a additional 4/8 camera NVR would have been fine in my opinion if the throughput was maxed out on the old 16ch unit which they didn't check. For more background info they...

    Recommended installers in Queens and Brooklyn New York.

    They have a rebranded Hikvision DS-7616NI-E2/16P along with some rebranded 3mp Hikvision Dome Cameras. Along with a few POE switches so additional runs or upgrades wouldn't be too long. The original company didn't check the camera models and took a picture of the model number of the NVR.

    I don't see a issue with building a system based on the forum but it's more about not having to support them and like you said not having to do the runs/ drilling through a friend's house. Rather have someone else do it.

    Recommended installers in Queens and Brooklyn New York.

    I looked through the forum first and only saw one member recommendation a few years back. I have a few friends in Queens and Brooklyn who asked me who I suggested both for homes and small offices for security systems so I figured why not ask the community besides looking through Yelp. I first...

    Hi Everyone.

    Matt had suggested I join from another forum and I am just starting to learn about cameras for myself and a few other friends.
