Hey ... did you ever figure out how to hook it up correctly? I bought one but I couldn’t figure it out... so i ended up buying a few other POE amcrest cameras and NVR. I bought an PoE switch for the PTZ camera to try it with this new POE NVR but I couldn’t figure it out. I don’t have a lot of...

I bought a Schlage Connect Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt :noworry: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D1M66GQ/ref=twister_B00X3C1FPQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 The damn NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE 16-Port Gigabit went up in price since I posted it earlier ... I found it again though for 179 :)

Hello guys :) One of the cameras came with a little CD ... Im guessing its software ... when I launch it ... it gives me an error - "Disk full while accessing" .... What would this software be for normally? Isnt there other software like Blue Iris that I can use instead? Aslo.... Which would...

Whoo... This one is very large ... I will try to return for another 9 inch one. I like it but it would look odd for sure. I don't mind if people see the cameras up top... The ones by the doorways will be more discreet. I won't have them up and running for a while since we close on the house in...

I'll be running like a mad man �� Thanks guys Oh ... The cameras came today.... I can share pics if anyone is interested. I'm not home yet ... Will be soon

Anyone ever try these ? My brother said he has one for his son's tv and PS4 and it works good he said... I just would think there would be lag https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AWRUICG/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yea... That is an air duct �� So is the one in the master closet. What is odd if you keep that bedroom a loft that duct isn't at that location. Not sure if they double the other one up or what.

Awesome guys I will have to find a closet and install this all in the back... So you have your router in the OZ room? I guess I could do that if I make runs to all the TV's as well I will just pick a location and do it... The builder is a big company and they won't do anything if it's not on...

Hello... when you say ... "Don't put an outlet / transformer in your attic. Run some 16-2 with 2 Cat-5e to the power hungry cameras." What do I connect this 16-2 wire to ? If you look at te bedroom near the cameras ... There is a box in the ceter of the room that I was going to jump off of and...

Ill have one or two nights to run the cables before the drywall goes up... it should be in a few weeks. The switch I can wait on like you said but I wanted to make sure it is a good one... I only have 2 poe cameras but might add a few more down the road so I was thinking 8 poe ports will be ok...

Thank you for that information :) How are these CAT6 cables below work well? Is this switch better because its managed? The builder doesn't want me to install anything for liability reasons... so the builder REP told me to do what ever I needed to AFTER the drywall inspection is done :) So I...

How does this switch look? I figured I'll need some POE for future cameras I will install �� https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000ANF8FE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1464793840&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=16+port+switch+with+poe&dpPl=1&dpID=31p6Ykt0RXL&ref=plSrch Also... Do I need CM or CMR Ethernet...

I can make outlets in the attic near the cameras I'll have one night to add things before the drywall goes up so I can run the Ethernet then and run the new outlets as well. 1080p is fine with me... I can always upgrade later if I need it. I also bought the corner brackets so ther will not...

Well ... That sucks because the seller of the cameras recommend this NVR... Any recommendations then or maybe explain what I need so I can find it ? Why won't it work correctly? What is wrong with the power supply that comes with it? I'm short on time so I need this ironed out fairly soon ��

Will these work or are there cheaper ones? http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/High-Power-PoE-Splitter-10-100-1000-Power-over-Ethernet-Splitter-MAX-54W-FOR-CCTV-IP/835210_2016260988.html

Thank you ... I have to understand what all I need before I start to decide on how many wires to run or extra power outlets to install... this is why I wanted to know how to power these 2 ptz cameras since they are not poe ... should I get an power outlet installed near the camera location or...

So the switch will have to have enough POE ports as cameras I have and/or want to install in the future .... So to connect the PC and NVR what do those ports need to be ? Also... The 2 PTZ cameras are not POE... is the "D-Link 1-Port 10/100 Power over Ethernet Injector/Splitter" what gives those...

Thank you... I was thinking the NVR plugged into the router and that is how you can view remotely on the app ... I guess that is where my confusion started. So would I connect to the cameras with the app? So I guess I should just connect it to my workstation since it does not have to be near...

I tried to find some information but was not able to find what I needed obviously and I happen to find this site and thought I could get some simple help

I have no deal with wifi .... As I have said a few times ... I do not understand how the cameras connect to the NVR .... I am hoping someone can explain how this works since there is no Ethernet ports on the back of it for the cameras ... only 1 LAN port which I am guessing is for the router...

I understand what you mean ��... I think I am good with the placement right now ...I can always add more to the other 2 corners. I just wanted to see how all this connects. I don't see Ethernet connections on the back of the NVR so how do the cameras connect? Do I connect the router to the NVR...

I was thinking of putting the first PTZ at the STAR but also considered the RED dot ... The star covers front and side of house.. That is why I wanted to put it at that location. What CAT wire should I run ? I think the run will be 50 to 75 feet for each... Is that a safe length? Thank you

So you think I should put the PTZ on front patio soffit? I just thought it would be more hidden on second floor but I get what you're saying. I do have 2 fixed Amcrest for the front and rear doors. I was going to install them on the ceiling on the patio.

I don't think the 2 PTZ are POE that is why I thought I needed the injectors to make them POE?

Thank you for the reply ... so would I need a Switch like the one below? Do they make wifi ones ... Which would work best for my setup do you think? Thanks again http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LW9A328/ref=psdcmw_281414_t2_B004O9M6DW
