    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    lmfao, I should totally know that as well, what an idiot suggestion of mine.....it's late I re-read your message, I get what your saying now about pull a separate cable for power, I initially read that as, "pull apart", hence my suggestion for modifying the ethernet cable so, as per my initial...

    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    cheers for that. if i'm getting this right, the power brick (24v AC) requires me to pick apart the RJ45/cable to piggy back the cables in to provide the power (f**k that) OR I use an existing lan cable from my poe enabled switch, connect that to a POE+ injector and then connect the camera to...

    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    cheers why would I need the POE injector in addition to the power supply? wouldn't I run the existing cat6 and the power supply to supplement the power requirements of the PTZ?

    Hi All, I recently decided to buy a PIR POE camera from AliExpress. Despite it being Onvif compatible, I cannot for the life of me get it to play nicely with BI, i've used the supplied software to change the IP address so my network see's it, I can also get a live feed in Internet Explorer...

    Dismantle a camera for stealth installtion

    Hi All Has anyone taken a camera apart and used the internals in a different case? Im thinking of sacrificing a 2CD2032 so I can create a stealth case that only has the camera lens visible as opposed to the whole camera unit and IR LEDs I am about to place a 2CD2032 inside a bird box and...

    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    hmm, just looked through a ton of dahua cameras on aliexpress, it seems the one listed at the beginning of this thread IS the cheapest....time to dig deep into the pennies

    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    Cheap PTZ recommendation please

    i was looking at that one, but doesn't seem to be available in the UK I could order it from Aliexpress but I'm a little reluctant to spend close to 300GBP on a product with the worse returns policy in the world and a lucky dip chance of it not being broken on arrival. that's why i was looking...

    Hik DS-2CD2032F-I replace RJ45 socket

    [solved] After reading a few more threads and realising I had the budget camera with the pro wiring, I eventually bought a pin-out board for the RJ45 so I could try re-wiring it several times without sacrificing the cable length Pin RJ45 (T-568B) > HikCam 1 white/orange >...

    Installation and test equipment

    Just checked the compatibility of the USB OTG Ethernet adapter, it seems my Nexus 7 is supported and quite probably my Nexus 6 as well. Seems like an interesting idea for using browsersync over ethernet for my web development (day job) And..........i've just ordered it ;-)

    my car starter is no bigger than a standard portable battery pack for consumer electronics, it weights 390g and is 145mm x 76mm x 27mm, small enough to fit into a pocket

    Installation and test equipment

    Interesting idea about the 12v car starter, I have one of those already, an Angry Jester car booster starter, couple with something like this, USB2 OTG to Ethernet That eliminates the need for mains power and is a hard wired solution

    Installation and test equipment

    That battery powered POE injector is $200, seems a little excessive and single function, the original test device I posted was multi function for roughly the same price. My DIY wifi router/POE injector can be done for about £15 + old crap lying around.....on the assumption that the idea works...

    Installation and test equipment

    I like the idea of tinyCam, but i'm thinking more of a situation where I don't want to commit the cable run to the network before I have the camera in the ideal position. I'm kinda kicking round the idea of using an old router with a mains powered POE injector, it would look like this: I can...
