    I've purchased a NV41AI-8P-4K NVR to go with 2 x IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 and 1 x IPC-B54IR-ZE from Andy. EmpireTech NV41AI-8P-4K 8 Channels Smart 1U 1HDD 8PoE Network Video Re I may be looking to add one or two more cameras in the future. What would be the choice of current recommended hard drives...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    @guykuo Many thanks for that. I'm in the UK, but I've found that exact tool on Amazon UK. Great tips with regards making up the terminations! I had thought of buying some ready made ethernet cables, and cutting one end off to self-terminate. Failing that, I will look at some unterminated cable...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    So I also need some cable, RJ45s and a crimp tool? Are there any specific cable & RJ45 recommendations? I'm guessing the cams will be around 5 metres from the NVR.

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    Forgive my ignorance - how are the T54IR-ZE-S3 terminated, and how does one make the connection to the NVR cable to the camera inside the junction box?

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    OK - I need to decide whether to use a junction box or not. Do you know what the difference is between the PFB203, PFB204 and PFB205? I have some silicone grease, not sure if this is the same as dielectric grease? I also have some self-amalgamating tape.

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    @wittaj Thank you again. I aim to insert the pigtail directly through the wall, just need to go out & buy a suitably sized SDS drill bit! How are they for waterproofing when mounted directly? I had planned on cutting some 3mm EPDM foam rubber sheet I have into a circle to mount behind the...

    IPC-T54IR-ZE S3 Wall Mounting - Direct or Bracket?

    Hi all! So I'm awaiting delivery of an order from Andy. Two of the cameras are IPC-T54IR-ZE S3, which will be mounted to a brick gable wall, with the lens of the cameras orientated as per the enclosed images. Can they be mounted direct, flat to the wall, and if so can the body / lens be...

    Best 'Identification' Camera for Pavement

    Many thanks! I'll steer clear of the dual lens in that case, and opt for a couple of cameras, I'm guessing facing toward each other for best coverage? A couple of turrets sounds like a plan. Just to mention - the gable is actually 12ft high to the ridge after I measured it, image enclosed...

    Best 'Identification' Camera for Pavement

    @wittaj Thanks. That's disspointing, I had hoped one of the dual lens cameras would have been suitable. I'm happy to install two cameras, but them being 6ft above ground level, and facing the pavement, will make them highly susceptible to vandalism. Do all 'IDENTIFY' cameras need to be no more...

    Best 'Identification' Camera for Pavement

    Hi all Can anyone recommend the best camera for 'identification' in this location? I need to be able to provide footage to the police, with clearly identifiable faces, day and night. The house is a single story house, with a gable fronting the pavement / road. The gable peak is around 20ft...

    New Installation - Camera & Location Recommendations

    Hi all I'm looking for some recommendations. I’ve enclosed a couple of drawings which illustrate the general layout of my house, neighbouring properties, and access points. The pavement & road are reasonably well lit at night, with a streetlight on the opposite pavement a little further down. I...

    Mac OSX / Safari Compatibility

    Hi all So whilst learning more about what's out there, it appears there are issues with OSX / Safari compatibility with Hikvision & Dahua NVR's. I was planning on installing a NVR & a couple of PoE cameras for my bungalow. I wonder if anyone has any idea what the current state of play is?
