Just make sure you have the bitlocker key backed up properly. Ask me how I lost 0.5 BTC... Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Funny, I was working on this issue just last night. Except mine would sit at it's usual 35-40% then all of the sudden be pegged at 100%. Rebooting didn't help as it sometimes does. No memory leak. Last stable BI version. Was behind on windows updates, so started that last night before kids'...

I'd stay away from the 2.5" drives. They're not made for the rigors of 24/7 recording. Stick with surveillance drives like the WD purple that are built and configured for the task. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Cat 6 shielded. (STP) Cat 5e stp would actually be plenty. You're talking ~10mbps per camera, so not a lot of data per run. Or fiber. [emoji16] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

If you manually set IR to 1-2, reflections are greatly reduced. You may still need external lighting depending on your situation though. I'm on blue Iris, so the IVS thing isn't an issue for me. Despite both issues, you're saving $75 and an Ethernet run off the cost of two turrets. Sent from...

If nothing else, you can use the PFB203 and drill and tap your own holes in it with the camera rotated to the desired angle. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I just extended my service , but it still gave me a "Not version 5 eligible." Then I realized I'm still on Win7... :embarrassed:

The 2231 also has only basic IVS functions. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'm curious as well about the new IPCT 2/4/8mp cams vs the trusted X231s. I'm torn since I do already have a Hik camera from the old house, but have a spot where I might trade off a smidge of low light performance for a better pixel count. Even though it's a little over $150, has anyone reviewed...

Yup. Not sure if op is even still looking for a solution, but I will point out that TeamViewer is free for personal use. At least this week. If you have the ports, you can ditch the separate (redundant) subnets, disable inter vlan routing, block the camera vlan from the wan, and create a single...

The link above doesn't work. The current info can be found here. Edit: I'll save you a click.

I'll throw this in there in the 'keep it simple' category... I have my cameras in a static IP block that I just made a block outbound firewall rule on the ER. Made port forwarding on the BI machine easier, and I can still access cameras via TinyCam on other devices. Sent from my Pixel XL using...

I cringed when I read this. I have a 24v Ubiquiti AP, and sending 24v to something designed for af is quite likely to cause damage. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Also, from a quick glance at the pics, that is a POE switch. No injector needed. Edit: nope. Sent by my Trunk Monkey™

Yes. You want these though. Genuine Cisco, and you can get them for $1 if you want 70. Lol. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271413080230&alt=web Sent by my Trunk Monkey™

Don't confuse uplink/trunk from the barn to the camera port on the NVR with an uplink for remote viewing. So... Yes, if you're set on just doing an NVR setup and won't have enough cameras to saturate the FE port on the NVR. You can just use a media converter to go from the fiber to NVR. But...

Late on the reply, but yes to all of this. I've done a good bit of repair work on lightning damaged equipment, and have seen a number of cases where equipment was damaged by a strike in the area where there was enough inducted voltage to still damage equipment. (Think of it as a 200' AM...

They're used to push/pull the wire up into the attic where it can be easily pulled. Not as useful if you're in the mood for catfish. http://m.harborfreight.com/3-16-inch-x-33-ft-fiberglass-wire-running-kit-65326.html?utm_referrer=direct%2Fnot%20provided Sent by my Trunk Monkey™

From what I understand, no. You need 2 pairs. They must be twisted together to avoid noise and data loss. Sent by my Trunk Monkey™

#2 can be budget friendly. I snagged a Cisco 24 port poe managed switch for $50 off eBay. Sent by my Trunk Monkey™
