    Quick Question For A Practice On BI

    That's great Frank, yoy have a very similar number of cameras as well as anticipated specs of 2-4mp. Seen as I haven't chosen cameras, I keep thinking 2-4mp would be good. I'm thinking the best thing at this stage is to just be sure the pc covers any potential design improvements. However I...

    Quick Question For A Practice On BI

    Thanks Frank, you link was very useful. I looked through eBay several times before getting frustrated and quitting. This is mainly because of my inadequacies in pc jargon. I'm fairly sure an i5 would do but not certain. 8gb ram also. Good as that link is, someone could improve it by defining...

    Quick Question For A Practice On BI

    Dahua cams - moving my expenditure up a notch

    I have just purchased a used Netgear GS724TP, I am only going to run 12 cameras or less and they aren't chosen yet. If I want to run some POE+ cameras would I be able to?

    Quick Question For A Practice On BI

    I'm aiming to build a BI system as a project for my mum. Could I help educate myself with the following? I have a shop that used to have cctv before dvr broke and the cameras were not compatible with any new dvr. In that shop, I have existing cat 5 running to certain camera locations from a...

    POE switch downstream from another POE switch

    There is a RJ45 splitter to allow two feeds from one cable? I'm a novice so not sure it'd suit your setup btw. But I have read it is appropriate for cctv. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Thanks fenderman, so for instance does that mean it would be better to have Dahua cameras running on BI as opposed to a Dahua NVR? Does BI work with all camera makes? Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Does that mean something like Blue Iris could accept all camera models or would that then be using...

    Nice one Looney, so I can carry on as I was with 2 switches as the initial setup. That makes me wonder though, even with the two switch Setup, they still both go back to the incoming supply router, so don't they link up anyhow[emoji848] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Thanks for replying jas, I haven't picked the cameras yet but presumed I'd use rj45 Ethernet style connections. No, Wi-Fi is the most likely. I hardwired my house too and it's barely used but it does help locate routers for weak spots. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Recommended Recorder

    Hi All, I've been doing plenty reading here as I'm trying to set up my mum with a decent quality cctv system, the main aim in quality is because I'm fed up of rubbish playback and lack of definition.
