    Harassment at night

    I was a contractor for the cable company for several years. When we did modular homes and didn't want to get on our hands and knees, we would drill tuck the cables between the skirt and the plastic flashing that held the skirt to the home. We always drilled holes through the floor for the cable...

    Free, PC based NVR software for Hikvision 2432

    I use iVMS and it has been working great for me. Leave the storage server program running in the background and it will record everything triggered by your camera. It uses very little processing power. When you want to view recordings or live, just open up the client software and check things...

    DS-2CD2132F-IS sharpness issue

    Are the apertures different between the 2.8mm and 4.0mm lenses? You also have some algorithms contributing to image quality with the dynamic range needed pointed at the outside lighting.

    Water got in connector!

    Hubbell Premise makes some watertight network cabling jacks and plugs. They probably approach the cost of a new camera though.

    Hardware requirements for a large 60 camera system

    You might try IVMS-4200. Supports up do 256 devices. Run the NVR Server in background and let all the cameras do the analytics. The server uses very little CPU to record. Using the Client is another story, but you aren't going to watch/playback every channel at same time anyways.

    Cat 6 vs 5e? Can the run be next to an electrical line?

    Go into the counter of an electrical supply house and ask for a couple referrals. They should be able to provide you info on a couple little guys that will do a good job and not charge you like a union mega-contractor.

    replacing dlink dcs-7010L with DS-2CD2342WD-I

    The nice thing about the Hik, is the higher resolution will allow you to digitally zoom in and still have a better image than the D-Link. So if you go a little wider, you'll still be able to get more detail. You are also covering much more area. However, the 2.8mm lens does show a little...

    Dynamic analysis?

    If you check Dynamic Analysis, it should highlight an area of image where an event is occurring that would trigger the channel. It's to aid you in setting up sensitivity of motion detection, line crossing, etc.

    Hikvision 1280ZJ-DM18 Junction Box Conduit Plug

    That's what we get for not adopting the metric system. I've never really thought about trade conduit sizes compared to the rest of the civilized world. Those Hikvision boxes may have a pretty standard thread in another country, but if that was the case we wouldn't have much use for them here.

    Cat 6 vs 5e? Can the run be next to an electrical line?

    My preference is to Cat6 because you can find it in 23awg. Either one should be fine. Shielded cable may help if you really have to run it parallel next to electrical lines. Still not a good practice and you may violate codes - based on performance, not so much safety.

    Hikvision 1280ZJ-DM18 Junction Box Conduit Plug

    Haven't used these boxes, but if it is made for 1/2" or 3/4" conduit connectors, I would think "bell plugs" would work. They are usually metallic finish but I have seen white ones. search "bell plugs" on Home Depot's website.

    Cat 6 vs 5e? Can the run be next to an electrical line?

    Keep it away from the electrical line and do not use any of the same penetrations through studs or walls. Try to keep the low voltage and electrical on opposite side or completely different stud cavities. You may end up with an intermittent network issue because your connection will drop when...

    Cat6 & rj-45

    Yes, it is okay. Sorry, read through thread and forgot original question. There are category 6, rj-45's rated for solid conductors, even though stranded ones probably won't give you a problem.

    Cat6 & rj-45

    I'm no longer a BICSI member and haven't kept up with recent changes, but I believe their Telecommunications Distribution Methods Manual (TDMM) made an exception in the last few years for IP cameras. In the past, horizontal cabling was specified to be terminated on keystone jacks at both ends. I...

    Home Insurance Policy requires monitored solution.

    Isn't that silly? Who does 911 dispatcher take more seriously? The alarm monitoring company that calls with mostly false alarms or the homeowner that calls and says, I am watching someone burglarize my house in real time on my smartphone? In my experience, 30-60 minutes for response to monitored...
