Hello everyone, I have a microphone connected to the Audio-In/G terminals of my Hikvision DS-2CD2942F-IS camera. I've attached a photo at the end of this post showing how the camera and the mic are wired up. I know the wiring is ok because I get both audio and video from the BlueIris mobile...

I've identified the need for 9 cameras to have good coverage on a large property. Here's what I'm looking for: * One PTZ with awesome night vision. I'm looking to be able to view wide angle as well as zoom into around 60 feet away into the street to capture crisp detail. I don't need...

Hello, I just found this forum and have been reading some posts. Seems very helpful for newbies. I have just started learning about surveillance systems. I purchased a home with a few outdoor cameras installed. There is one camera at the front gate, and three others around the perimeter of the...
