    Computer Upgrade Help?

    Hi All, About a year ago I realized I needed a serious, cost effective computer for my security camera system. I got some wonderful advice from some of our senior forum members and ended up with links to a great buy for a refurbished Dell system (i7-4790, 3.6GHz, 16GB, 1 TB HD, Haswell...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    After my lights got shot out, I tried a couple of game cameras. They disappeared a few days after I installed them. I am not certain, but they might be used to spy on me now. The networked cameras give me positive feedback when they are tampered with. The downside is running cables/power...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    I am looking at a Speco HTINTB9H 700 TVL Intensifier H Indoor/Outdoor Bullet Camera, 5-50mm, but it looks like it uses a BNC connector and it did not see it on the BI list of supported devices. I bought a couple of BNC to ethernet adapters a few months back, but have not tried them. I would...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    No, never any traps, I play strictly legal. I am determined to beat these people without sinking to their level. Since I installed a number of cameras around my home the vandalism there virtually ceased, except in a few blind spots that allowed some. Frankly, it freaked me out that they were...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    I have mostly Hikvision bullets DS-2CD2035 (4, 6 & 8mm) with a few Huisun ptz turrets HS-SC8405IP in the mix. The varmint nest is nearly a mile from where the vandalism is taking place. I will investigate an IR illuminator solution. Thanks for the suggestion. PS Before I had cameras, I had...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    Thanks for your comment. After the first couple of damaged cameras, I did just that, have cameras watching cameras. More costs, but cheaper than replacing the cameras that might otherwise get smashed. It is difficult to add watching cameras as fast as I would like, some cameras have been...

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    Thanks for the excellent advice. Obviously thermal is not the way to go. I will investigate the PIR / Microwave option.

    I think I need thermal imaging camera advice

    Hi All, I seem to have a 2 legged, intelligent varmit problem. I have over 2 dozen IR cameras on my property, but incidents have increased lately and my cameras are being damaged. It appears they are identifying the IR light and reacting to it. I think a thermal imaging camera may help me and...

    DS-2CD2135F-I Password

    Thanks for the info. SADP V3.x is much better. The vendor got back to me. The default password is 1234567a, I have been able to access the firmware and change it to something more cryptic.

    DS-2CD2135F-I Password

    Hi All, Just got a Hikvision DS-2CD2135F-I, but am unable to install. I can find it using the SADP tool that came with it, but am unable to change the IP address as it appears not to accept the factory password (12345), username (admin). The error I get from BI indicates incorrect password...

    4.3.0.5 update anyone try it yet?

    Yep, tried 4.3.05 x64. My hardwired cameras go offline erratically. Wireless cameras seem unaffected. Some of the cameras recover after a few minutes, only to go offline in about the same timeframe. A few have gone offline and I have not been able to recover them. I can still ping their...

    Cameras at multiple DSL connections

    I intend to only have a BI computer at the remote location when I am configuring it. From what you have provided and what I have found out by clicking the Globe icon in BI, it seems a bit complicated, but that is not unexpected. I am trying to make a step by step list of what I have to do...

    Need to upgrade computer and graphics

    I am that paranoid, any recommendations for a dependable NVR that is reasonably priced? BTW, back when I was a sw developer, we always used full tilt Intel processors as they contained debugging registers that cheaper Intel ie Celeron and others like AMD did not. The result was consumers...
