I have to put cameras on a piece of equipment at work. We keep getting a fault codes and the manufaacturering is claiming it is operator error. We don't believe it is. I would prefer a NVR but will accept a DVR. i would like to have at least 1080p cameras. I need two channels but would...

Has anybody done a non POE setup? What is required to power the camera? Volts? Connector type? etc.

I got my computer and I'm getting ready to order cameras. I'm going to start with a few Longse. They are cheap and seem to get good reviews on here. I have a question about resolution. When they say Main Stream: 5MP/3MP/1080P@30fps, 5MP does that mean that is the only options I have for...
