Mounting on the lower eave would be better. (In my opinion).

Here's a thread... a member posted awhile back with pictures of a real setup using 2.8mm for front door and 4mm for driveway & yard. It sure helped me when I was obsessing over focal lengths.

Welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum. You'll find good info here.

I might point out "inexpensive" is relative. What is your budget? Do you need support or are you a systems integration expert? From my experience, (and I am a systems integration expert, just not with security systems) it's always good to have a lifeline where some sort of support is available...

I ordered the NSN-608-8P NVR from Nelly's. When I discussed the NVRs capabilities with Mike at Nelly's on the phone he assured me the NVR would handle 5-6 4MP cameras. One day later I'm now concerned about the setup because of a post post by user optik ("bandwidth was not good enogh on 7608 for...

Hello from Spring, TX. I'm new here too. Lots of good info here.

I've never had any luck setting up email from my personal email server. I've tried on both Swan and Dahua DVRs but had no luck on either. I ended up using a gmail account but even then it would quit working intermittently. And with both those systems when I talked to support their response was...

After much thought and gut wrenching, I've decide to go with either Dahua or Hikvision. I had pretty much made the decision to go with Hikvision but then I saw this... Is it something the I should be concerned about? I hate flakey equipment. My Dahua DVR, as much as I've bad mouthed it, does...

I'm in the Houston,TX area. I bought a Blackvue in July of 2014 and it bit the dust a couple months ago, so about two years (I'd guess it was the heat). I went to a Garmin nuviCam and the camera flakes out if the outside temp goes over 90 degrees.:sick: Haven't decided what's next yet but I do...

Since I'm replacing all my stuff. I decided to use this thread to ask all my questions instead of posting in various different sections of the forum. If that's not ok, just let me know. Skip the parts in blue if you just want the questions. I've actually been lurking for a couple weeks reading...

On my current Dahua DVR I use PSS. The program appears to have all the menus to do things and some of them even appear to work but when I go back and look nothing has changed. The only thing that works is viewing live and recorded videos and viewing recorded video is a very painful process as...

A little background first Back when I set up my second security camera system in 2012 it had been almost ten years since I'd set up my first one which was a 4 channel Swann. So, I thought since it had been ten years since my last purchase I'd go with Swann again. My thinking was... After ten...

This will be my third home surveillance install. My first and second systems were Swann and Dahua. Now I'm finally ready to go IP. I'm hoping there are some improvements to the user interfaces on surveillance systems since my last purchase but from my research so far I'm not too excited about...
