    Hikvision IR Mini Dome 2cd2532 Wall Mounting on Stone

    This will be deployed in a covered doorway protected from water so it should be ok. But perhaps not the best if more exposed to the elements.

    Hikvision IR Mini Dome 2cd2532 Wall Mounting on Stone

    Not bad. I found this product by wiremold which comes in 4 3/4 and 5.5 in diameters. The 4 3/4 is a good match for the base. The larger give an extra inch all around. I am trying to find a white one. Locally I can only find beige:(. You may need to add an extra hole or two to mount the...

    Hikvision IR Mini Dome 2cd2532 Wall Mounting on Stone

    I want to mount this camera on a front doorway stone wall. The pig tail which includes leads and audio cable is fairly bulky to put directly in to the wall. The plate that comes with the camera is a 4 3/4in round 1/4 in depth. I need some kind of mounting box/pan that can work with this...

    ACTI E77 10 MP Dome Available in Canada

    I have one installed in my backyard. The daytime image is good but I would caution it is not designed to see images that are further away regardless of it being 10MP. I have some Hik as well. It has 10MP but it is spread out on a 100+ degree radius. While I can see cars driving by 120...

    Building Your Own NVR

    Milestone is even worse in the sense that you have to pay for updates after the initial period is over. I like the features but given MS costs you need to be able to justify it. Hopefully some of the more cost effective solutions catch up. I would love not to use Milestone because of...

    Building Your Own NVR

    The other thing to keep in mind is playback and finding content. I think if you are using all Hik their NVR may be a better bet for overall cpu resources over BI but I've never used it to know. I have been using Milestone and its fantastic for playback. If you are willing to spend the...

    Building Your Own NVR

    POE switch is simply an Ethernet switch that can deliver power on some or all of the ports. When selecting a POE switch you need to be sensitive to the max amount of power delivered on a per port basis but more importantly the total power budget available on the switch. 26 cameras is a big...

    ACTI E77 10 MP Dome Available in Canada

    The E77 had an introductory price which I believe ends this month. I bought at the introductory price and moving it at my cost. I'd be happy to sell it for more if you like :). I haven't been able to figure out how to attach the image. It doesn't give me a browse to get images off the...

    Building Your Own NVR

    Well FWIW I decided to go with a build using the i7-4770K (got a deal on cpu) - 500GB SSD, 4x3TB WD Red drives. Still deciding whether to use BI or try Milestone.

    Building Your Own NVR

    I'm about to pull the trigger on the T20. I looked at Supermicro and ASUS as an alternative since they give a little more power and drive flexibility as well as support for Hyperthreading which is only supported on 1230+ chips (T20= 1225). That being said the T20 is so nice and compact on...

    Building Your Own NVR

    Thank you NCC! Have you had any experience with either the Trendnet TPE224WS 24 port POE Smartswitch or the DLink Web Smart Switch 24 10/100 POE Ports, 4 Gigabit ? They both seem to have mix reviews. I'd like to get more than 8POE ports just in case.

    Building Your Own NVR

    This is quite a range between the NUC, T20 and Digifort design tools Xenon E3 system (~$6k). I'm thinking a server with 4x 2TB SATA Drives and RAID SW. I'm thinking under 2K for everything. It needs to be able to process 8 cameras but also viewing and playback.

    How to install IP camera outdoors on wall

    Absolutely, I wanted to make sure there wasn't a special mount/plate. Or if there was a mount that perhaps added an extra inch or so of depth. I've not used Acti before but the E77 pricing right now is too good to be true. I have a challenge on some uneven stone.

    How to install IP camera outdoors on wall

    Thanks. Is there a way to mount it so the dome is right on the wall versus off the bracket. In some spots its just a cleaner look.

    How to install IP camera outdoors on wall

    I'm looking to install the acti e77 on an exterior wall. Ideally mounted directly on the brick so that the dome sits right on the wall. Forgive my ignorance but anyone know if any special plate is required first or can you do that right out of the box?
