The most popular cameras on ipcamtalk seem to be the Dahua and Hikvisions. If these are banned then what are our alternatives? Will be still be able to buy them from back channels like Aliexpress? U.S. bans the sale and import of some tech from Chinese companies Huawei and ZTE

Our HOA is not gated. We have 5 major points of entry. In the past the HOA board has considered installing security cameras, but the bids we got were well over $70k. The problem is power. There is no electricity at most of the entrances. I have explored using hunter's trail cameras with...

I already have 16 cameras around the property. However because they're run with a NVR, I don't have alert zones and other features that I would like. Therefore I'm going to build a Blue Iris server and transfer those old 2 MP 1/2.8" cameras over to my BI server. But I also want some LPR cams in...

My existing system dated from 2015 is now starting to act wonky. The NVR is not recording and the app that comes with it for my iPhone is kind of wonky to use. I have 14, 2MP ip cams around the house and a NVR. I already have multiple 32 port PPPoE switches in my media room closet. I would...

I've got a bunch of big oak trees at the front of the property. I'd like to use some of them for observation and LPR cameras, as well as having a couple of cameras pointing back towards the house. Does anyone have a recommendation for a band mount or any kind of specific mount for a tree? I...

I'm trying to organize my media closet right now. I have a need for 78 ethernet connections, Currently my 14 security cams are hooked up to a LTS NVR. I'm going to be building a PC to run Blue Iris. The Blue Iris Wiki says I can use a 10/100 24 port ethernet switch. Is there any reason to...

I have 14 older 4 MP cameras around the property. I want to add at least 2 more cams pointing back towards the house, and also a couple of license plate readers and overview cameras at the front of the property. It seems like I could easily build a new PC for what a 32 channel 4k NVR would cost...

I have 14 IP cams on my LTS LTN8716 (Hikvision clone). I've seen posts on adding a PoE switch to add more cameras. But since my NVR is 16 channels, I can still only record 16 channels correct?

Please bear with me. I'm a total newb at this. I have an existing 14 camera system with a NVR. The existing cameras are 4 MP IP cams: LTS CMIP1142W-28 4MP IR Outdoor Turret IP Security Camera The NVR is: 16 channel NVR so I have 2 open channels. This is a PoE NVR but I do not know if it is...
