I just recently went through this for some installations that were against a brown/bronze trim. I ended up just getting some high temp/outdoor rated rattle cans and prepped the boxes and cameras before installation. Takes a little bit to mask everything off on the camera, but the finished...

Thanks. I will initially try to mount it with the stock mount. It would be nice to save ~$20 not needing to purchase one of those anderson boxes or a manufacturer made junction.

Can anyone tell me if the Hik or Dahua turret cameras can be mounted against a verticle wall and achieve a positive 90 degree view from ground being 0 degrees? The wall is a wood wall and I would like to be able to drill a small hole to feed ethernet through, terminate on the outside, then...

After some more information was obtained it appears the cameras have edge based analytics on camera. We are going to find out how well this works. The plan now is to record 24x7 from the cameras to our existing NVR and then have the edge analytics send events to the monitoring company when...

Has anyone had any experience with the VisualInt cameras? I am being asked to look at remote monitoring solutions and one of the vendors is pushing this line of cameras. I am sure their back end system is built around these cameras which is why they are pushing them. I should be able to...

Re: Need suggestions for a Hikvision baby monitor and (wireless?) surveillance monito The switch you linked to does not do PoE. You linked to the GS1910-24. For PoE you will need the GS1910-24HP. I can't find that model on newegg, but here it is on amazon...

I am going to assume that this doesn't have a SmartNet contract associated with it. Have you checked the firmware version and/or reset to factory defaults? I have a number of Cisco IPC cameras installed, and I have had constant issues with the exterior cameras from the IPC2xxx series on. The...

Alastair, I won't question the reliability of your NVR, but those load averages are horrible. I can't believe that thing is running well at all. Normally the simple review of load average is 1.00 for every CPU, with the ability to average N+1 as your ceiling. Obviously 1 min averages are...

Double check the permissions you set in your smb configuration. You will also need to make sure that you have the permissions on the mount point set to allow the user write to it.

Check Amazon. They offer a bunch of services called AWS and one of those services is remote disk. They even have different flavors of that in case you need something archived or need it highly available. S3 is available for remote access and can be coupled with their content delivery network...

According to the documentation it looks like these are stand alone. I don't see any indication that these are supposed to be integrated with any central management system. I am more interested in seeing 4 AA batteries lasting a year in one of these like the spec says. The other side of this...

The concept of using Windows servers for anything other than a Domain Controller for AD, a MSSQL box or possibly a DNS server is crazy from an OS licensing standpoint. IIS is a horrible web server. Why would I pay for a server 2012 license to run IIS for a web server when I could easily run a...

Horrible idea unless this is just for fun. Don't ever expect it to be there when you need it.

I figured that it might be better to configure the pi as a z wave master with an addon module and then control all the outlets and/or sockets via zwave. This is what I had been thinking about trying with mine. mi casa verde seems to have so many nitpicking issues I have decided against going...

Re: Hikvision POE LAN segment - access to cameras without virtual host or extra wirin Are you just needing one of these? I am not really sure based on the OP what you are trying to accomplish here, but it sounds like you need the PoE from the NVR to power the camera, but you want to be able to...

I don't think this is going to work out as well as you think. The bandwidth is going to be the killer here. Unless you are capable of running a wireless shot between the two properties this will not end well for you. I would suggest that you spend your time and effort on researching and...

There are options, albiet they may not be ones that someone wants to invest in. We have a couple of thermostat controlled AC powered vent fans in our attic and it keeps the space really close to ambient temp.

I wouldn't waste the extra money or time on a keystone jack in the box. Terminate the end of the cable and leave yourself a maintenance loop of a couple feet.

I don't know what part of the country you are in, but I don't want any part of my interior home to be that hot. I would invest in some proper ventilation and get that closer to ambient. I don't know that I would just assume a cheap PoE is the way to go. The switch I listed is one developed...

You are looking for a nema enclosure. Many manufacturers and sizes available. I would run all of the cables to the cameras and terminate them as home runs directly to the camera. Not much sense adding additional pieces to the puzzle that could cause frustration when troubleshooting a...

If you can't ventilate the attic to bring the temp down you will probably have to supplement one of these with a PoE injector. The five port switches can be found on the internet for around $100. http://www.moxa.com/product/EDS-208205.htm

Why couldn't you have used zoneminder to save off the content as an mp4 and write it to a usb drive or dvd? I don't understand how windows has any advantage over linux in this regard.

I don't think I will ever use this because of the horrible WDR I am getting from it. The attached image is in a basement and is completely blown out by the exterior light coming in the windows. I initially thought I would use it in an interior application somewhere in the house, maybe hidden on...

Can someone please explain this? The screenshot shows Language = 1 for English. The first sentence here says to use 1 for English. The second sentence here says to use 2 for English.

Something else that I would suggest is that you block outbound traffic from this camera to the internet at your firewall. I don't have a capture available now, but when I put this thing on my network it was pretty chatty outbound. I just made a rule to deny outbound traffic and left it at...

I am going to let someone else here chime in on where to purchase equipment from. I am still trying to determine that myself. My suggestion would be to pay a little more on the front end for something with US support unless you are willing to mess with gray market devices with foreign language...

I would suggest steering clear from anything wireless and do the work to wire everything. You will have better results. Those are also less than 1MP cameras if I am reading the heading correctly. You don't want those for the price. You would probably be better off purchasing a 4 port HIK or...

OK, I misunderstood what azthig was trying to do. This is really over the heads of many of these users when they can't even explain what environment they are in. I was making some major assumptions on what he was trying to do based off the description "When I try to telnet the Windows share...

We began using Ubiquiti products a couple of years ago and have been increasingly turning to them over the old Cambium and Freewave radios we had used in the past. I am using some in surveillance applications and others for telemetry acquisition and have them deployed in point to point and...
