So I’m thinking of upgrading to these cameras, can anyone tell me if they are worth it? Does the color night vision work well? Thanks. https://www.laviewsecurity.com/8-channel-4k-nvr-4-2-rx-484.html

Ok your post led me to the answer. Put the injector on it and boom, it's up. Thank you!

Oh ok... It did come with a power adapter that I don't have hooked up to it because it powered right on without it. Does it need that for sure?

It's POE and all my other cams have power. I switched it to another open port and got nothing. I'll switch it to one of the other cams ports and see if I get power.

I have a Hikvision 30x PTZ in addition to 6 other fixed ip cameras. My power company decided to do unannounced maintenance on my area and cut the power while I was away. The whole system powers back on and works normally except for the PTZ. I've reset the system multiple times. I'm at a loss as...

what makes you say that?

Sweet! Then I can camp out and also report forest fires.

I just received a Hikvision DS-2DE7186AE 2mp 30x PTZ. Now to mount it. I want to put it on a pole near the street in my front yard. However, I need to buy and install the pole first. Those of you with experience... What type of pole did you use, and where did you get it? And how hard is it to...

The big question is... If this isn't labeled Hikvision right on it, how can I tell if it is or not?

Supposedly English/international version. The $500 is shipping included from a US seller.

First question. Is $500 a good price? Second question. Does the auto tracking work well?

Will the Huisun work well with the LaView NVR? I'm new at this and trying to make it all as easy as possible.

I have a 6 camera LaView system with NVR. LaView is supposedly rebranded Hikvision. I'm looking to add a good 20 or 30x PTZ to the system... Is Hikvision my best bet?

Did you get that 6 camera deal plus NVR for $450? Mine were just installed. Cameras are great so far.

Milkisbad, I'd appreciate a catalog when you can send it. Thank you!

Another question. The package came with six 100 foot rolls of Cat5e. This cable will be run outside across my flat roof portion. I also don't know if it's the bad type of cable (CCA?). Can you guys tell from the pic? And is it good enough to be run outside?

Quick question... I got a 4 tb WD Purple drive but found a good deal too on a 3 tb WD purple also. Is 4 tb plenty? Or would 7 total be way better?

Here's where we decided to place the cameras. Also one additional cam inside.

Had a contractor give an install estimate. Running 600+ feet of cat5e, all necessary install parts and labor for ~$600. Seems very reasonable. Had a few other guys quote lower, but didn't actually come out to look at the house. He's been doing installs for 20 years, so it seems like a good choice.

Awesome, thanks for the help

I was going by the discussion on slickdeals and the video about them on newegg. What resolution do 3mp cams display?

They are 3 mp. I'll keep you guys updated, they'll be here by Monday. Installation should be a little interesting, it's a custom home with varying ceiling heights... I'm hiring pro's to run the cat 5.

Ok, so I just jumped on this deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16881183053 Got it for $425 after coupon. Supposedly rebranded Hikvision cams. Any thoughts on it? Also, anyone know of any good hard drive deals right now to go with it?

I'd like to keep it under $2k if possible

This is my first install. I highlighted a few proposed locations for cameras. I had a security company consultant suggest the two locations closest to the road be aimed to cross each other to eliminate blind spots. Then one to cover the two garage areas on the left, and also one covering the...

He's in aspen, where the beer flows like wine...

I'm closing on a new, larger house for my family in two weeks. Currently researching the best options for security cams for the house. I have a crazy ex who I'm sure will be showing her face, so I want to be ready. I'll be asking for setup advice!
