FYI..My POE V1 died...4 months. In case this is a polling question.

Ended up ordering another 250 ft roll of monopolize cat6. Same price as a 100ft roll at home depot.

Nope nothing. Have tried 2 different computers, POE injector, separate power supply, etc. Nothing will connect to it

Del Boy, how do you figure that the 2x4mm will give me 185 degree FOV? I thought the 2mm gave only 90 with the 4mm being around 70 degree FOV. Am I missing something. The 3MP I have now is the 2mm so I was thinking going with another 2mm would give me about 180 degrees but if the 4mm lens...

Thanks Gents. Already have the 3MP and am just adding a second one side-by-side to the existing. So looks like I'll likely be doing the 4MP sitting next to the 3. Should make for a nice panorama shot when I pull both live feeds up side-by-side in the camera viewer software.

Looking at a 2342, 2332, or 2322 in 2.8 to cover my front yard. I already have a 2332 covering my drive and left side of yard and plan on mounting another cam side-by-side to that one pointing to the right. Essentially a dual cam set up with each facing opposite directions to capture a near 180...

Thanks Tangent. Great idea running underneath the insulation but I'm too lazy for that. Good to know that Cerrowire is decent enough and will hopefully hold up to high temps. No outside exposed wiring in my install...mainly attic until my 3 foot wall drop.

So I decided to add just one more IP camera to the mix but I only need 50-100' of ethernet cable to complete this project. I previously bought a 250' spool (Monoprice) to wire up the other cameras but what is left isn't enough for this camera. The problem I have now is that no one that I have...

Well Melissa from Monitech told me to ship the camera back to them for repair. UPS wants to charge $159 for shipping to China. Um yeah, no thanks. Looks like this one will be written off as trash unless someone local wants to try and troubleshoot it for me and get it up and running again...

It actually died a couple of months ago when the weather was much more reasonable. I mess with it a couple of times a week until the kids drive me crazy or I want to throw it in the trash. The camera saw no direct sunlight as it's under the roof overhang and also on the north side of my home...

Well I got a few months (about 4) out of it. Still will go through self test but SADP will not detect it any longer. Tried multiple computers, POE injector, separate power supply, various Ethernet cables (5e, 6, etc.)... No matter what I tried nothing seems to be able to communicate with it...

Yeah I did Hik (well LTS - thanks Milkisbad) turrets (non-PTZ) for front and back doors (2.8mm)...very impressed with the quality but wanted more reach and PTZ to cover my curved front street.

Its not really that low. Do you have one? I honestly think its quite small but I'm new to the game.

Yeah I used something similar but not monoprice. Small sleve, insert wires, cut wires off at the sleeve, insert sleeve and crimp. BTW, didn't have to cut wires at an angle at all. I cut straight across, all cables worked perfect and didn't have to redo any of them.

Thanks all. I bought a cheap Trendnet crimper, some quality connectors, and a spool of 250' of Monoprice Cat 6 cable and made all of my own. Turned out to be relatively easy and made 5 runs with it and all work great. It's a bit of a tedious process to get all 8 wires lined up in a tiny...

Yep, I made a visit to the depot last night, purchased a weather proof junction box, some EMT conduit, some J-loop brackets, and masonry and stainless screws and bolts. Will relocate my Cat6 cable drop to the left of the garage and mount everything up. It actually will work out better as I...

Can this camera be inverted easily or is that a no-no? I purchased one and finally got in. In preparation I already ran cable but then realized my mistake when the camera came in. The mount prohibits me from mounting it where I wanted to...above my garage door and under the roof overhang. I...

She told me a day or two ago that MAYBE it will be by end of NEXT MONTH...

Ugh, got a message from Monica that said "how are you.i am sorry for reply later.mini PTZ v2 is testing . Maybe we will sell next month Thank you for your support Best regards Monica wen" So looks like this may take a bit longer than expected.

Found something interesting when looking at WD red and purple drives. WD rates the annual workload of their drives. The purples they spec at 60 TB per year and I believe the reds were speced at 150TB per year. Seagate says the following about workload ratings: Every HDD type has some safe...

Well crap, I was about to order my first one but now am hesitating. What are your thoughts klasipca...order first gen or wait for second gen? Looks like they improved it AND at a lower cost. So, are they using cheaper components, something has to give?

Will be installing my security camera system soon and am looking for advice on what kind of pre-made Ethernet cables to purchase. I know most of you make your own using bulk cable, ethernet jacks, and crimping tools, but I frankly don't have a need for 1000' of bulk cable, nor do I really want...

Where do you think I'm stealing all of my info from? Haha. So the low bit rates you are seeing at 10 FPS aren't affecting the video quality? That is where I am getting confused. It sounds like live view is great but recorded is subpar or am I misunderstanding. You have yours constantly...

So I'm confused, mainly because of my ignorance as I don't have any equipment as of yet, just thinking of ordering one of these to start with. So I will mainly be viewing recorded video likely stored on a Hik NVR. Will the quality of recorded video be disappointing if I'm only doing 10 or 15...

Well that certainly clears it all up........or not. Haha.

So in light of the "new development" of bit rate and recorded image quality is this camera still recommended if you aren't running at high frame and bit rates? This would be my first camera and I won't be constantly monitoring it but will mainly be using this IF something does happen and I want...

Recently moved to a new neighborhood and we are seeing some auto break-ins and theft of packages. Thankfully they haven't hit us yet but I want to go ahead and be proactive in setting up an outdoor surveillance system as a deterrent and potentially capturing them if they do come after us. I...
