Good work. I like the plugs that come with an insert that you slide the 8 wires into. You just have to straighten the wires, cut them at an angle and then slide into the sleeve which can then slide into the plug to be crimped...

I'll always recommend Monoprice. However, you're only going to find stranded cat6 patch cables, not solid. For $20 more than what you'll pay for four 75-ft patch cables, you're better off getting a 250-ft bulk, crimping tool and plugs. Otherwise, you'll have to look elsewhere. I personally...

I finally got Zoneminder set up to record motion detect on this camera. For $45, I really can't say that I have any complaints especially considering this is my first camera. Now to hunt for more cams... I now understand the addiction.

Due to my time working at a support help desk dealing with old Java apps, I already tried all of that. Renamed it shorter to firmware.bin, moved to to the root of C:/, moved to Desktop. No luck. I was using my wife's Windows 10 computer and I'm running Linux on my own. I'm going to try on an...

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone Looking at my old Coleman cat6 that I have, it looks like the only difference is that the Monoprice cat6 has a thicker sheathing. I don't believe they are pushing out CCA--or at least not anymore. You'll...

I'm not sure if it's a Windows 10 thing or not but I can't seem to apply this firmware. When I select the bin file, it says "File not found" even though it's clearly there and is 7 MB.

Re: Recommendations for pulling CAT6e wires in an existing home.. DIY or hire someone Running wiring isn't very hard to do especially if you are dealing with a one story house with an unfinished basement ceiling and/or attic access. You can save a lot of money doing it yourself and I always...

I can't think of anything that would get messed up. But obviously other devices on the network won't be able to connect to it while it is on a different subnet. Other than that you should be fine.

I just set up my first Chinese non-Hikvision camera without any documentation/support (the CD with manual was broken). I know Hikvision has their own software, but a universal process should probably be: Document the computer's current IP, subnet and gateway. Connect the camera directly to a...

Thanks I actually just did that and realized there was a " 24" at the end that I didn't copy Fedex just shows that the label was created. But I forgot to go back on the EC-Firstclass site and check again with the FULL number.. USER ERROR.

Still waiting for my tracking number to report back something besides "Not found" :sad2:

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with a couple LTS 4MP turrets for now for my primary cams. Being impatient, I planned to get a 3MP from Amazon just because I know it'll ship fast, but it's hard to justify since it is just about the same price as a 4MP elsewhere. I'd go with Ali but I don't feel...

I'm new to this and looking for some camera recommendations to cover the areas pictured. I have a brick ranch on a corner lot. I have a monitored security system so I'm honestly not concerned with break-ins if someone actually went that far. I just want to be able to identify vandals and...

I keep reading about how terrible the night vision on the Hikvision turrets are, but does anyone have examples of how the Hikvision cameras look at night with external IRs or any other techniques to make them look better?

I just ordered one. Sadly this is my first camera order, but it won't be my primary cam by far nor the first installed.. And if it sucks, I have plenty of low priority places to put this one.

^ What they all said.. From a data perspective, perpendicular runs are fine even if they physically touch. What you don't want are parallel runs that are too close for too long. Even then it's possible that you won't notice a problem. I have 4 cat6 lines going to my family room and I'm sure I...

I'm in the same boat. As soon as I dig around and figure that I want the Hikvision turret (DS-2CD2332-I) I read someone talk about how night footage is not great. The more I read, the more I go back to square one.
