    Q's New Kit

    Q...I have a very similar box I use for electrical supplies...wire nuts ext. Once you get the box set up how you want it, throw a drop of hot glue on the top of those little orange dividers so they don't raise up when you are pulling out a part. Saved me a lot of frustration. Nice ammo...

    Self Monitored System w/cell text messages?

    +1 here. I have a honeywell vista 20p with the EVL-4 and its great. The only down side is it is internet based. I have my modem, router, and NVR on a UPS so theoretically, I would have internet on a power failure (short of cutting the cable line coming into my house. My router (Synology...

    Smoke detector camera with mic

    I looked around a bit...look like you might have to build one. There are a few hidden camera smoke detectors but they are crappy analog cameras. What about getting a pinhole camera and mounting it inside a gutted smoke detector?

    Where to buy

    Just connected the EVL-4 this morning before work and got it up and running in about 45 mins. The EVL-4 mounted to my vista 20p via double-stick foam tape and wired into the same terminals as the keypads. I plugged the cat6 into the EVL-4 and the other end directly into my router (had an open...

    Noisy audio output on Camera

    Ahh I understand. I'm not to familiar with the topic then. You could check the ground that is powering the speaker. I know from AV equipment, grounds tend to pick up background noise unless you have a ground loop isolator installed in the speaker system.

    Noisy audio output on Camera

    Do you have speakers on site or just the mics from the cameras? Ruling out speaker feedback

    Need new Dome Outdoor IP Camera

    Don't get too hung up on megapixels. There is a ton more that goes into a good image than just the MP rating

    Looking for CCTV solution for poultry farm

    I just googled the conversion rate....6000inr is roughly 88USD. You are going to have to increase your budget if you want a decent camera not to mention NVR or computer. Also, provide a better description of what you want. I have no idea what a sade is or what you are trying to accomplish

    NVR: Line Crossing Min/Max

    I don't have the new firmware but my understanding is the cameras treat the NVR as the surveillance center...IOW when you have a line cross or intrusion detection, the linkage action is always set to notify surveillance center, and then the NVR performs the appropriate action. Have you looked...

    If your budget supports it, you could get a decent TVI PTZ and own the cul-de-sac

    iVMS-4200 - Camera Order

    Non-expert advice as well. Check out this video. It looks like there is a way to stop the live view of the cameras and then add them back one-by-one in the order that you want.

    Fish Sticks (Push / Pull Electrical Fish Tape) Best $ 10.00 I've spent in a long time

    One of the best things I bought. I used steel fish tape trying to fish wires over ceiling tiles...what a pain. The fish rods are much better. You like fish sticks....what are you, a gay fish?

    Security suggestions for an expensive zero turn mower

    If you go with a traditional alarm panel (honeywell vista or similiar) you can get a pressure mat and tie it into the alarm..just park the mower on the mat, add in a PIR, door/window sensors, and you are good to go. USP-901 9'' x 15'' Indoor/Outdoor Pressure Mat

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    Agreed tangent! I also have a habit of knocking crap over so having everything neat and secured is a plus. As far as cleaning behind my rack, nothing a can of air duster can't fix. Take a picture when you are done, I'm curious to see what you come up with.

    Setting up "rack" with POE cameras, can I use a Punch Down?

    It would work but personally, It seems like a lot of extra work and since half of your network equipment is going to be mounted to a wall anyway. I don't see why you wouldn't just rack mount everything and when you have to move, just unscrew the rack (since you have to do that with switches and...

    I think I understand. You can get something like this Amazon.com: Samson SRK16 Universal Rack Stand: Musical Instruments and whatever you cant rack mount (cable box) use something like this Amazon.com: StarTech 2U Universal Vented Rack Mount Cantilever Shelf for 19-Inch Server Racks - 16-Inch...

    If I understand your post correctly, you want to use something like this...Amazon.com: Cable Matters Rackmount or Wallmount 24-Port Cat6 RJ45 Patch Panel: Computers & Accessories ? If its just a patch panel, you can run POE through it with no issues. Also, why are you using two switches? Why not...
