My current camera project has a couple of sites that are in remote locations. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using a USB cellular modem attached to the server. I wouldn't be streaming much of anything, other than the 1-2 times a week I check to make sure all the cameras are...

I see Arecont has the AV10115v1 10MP offering, but haven't found any good reviews of it.

Thanks, we did check out the review prior to getting one in for testing, and as you mentioned we're worried about poor low-light performance at 10MP. So we had planned on using them only where we're certain we have adequate lighting. I was just wondering if there are any other 10MP offerings...

Are there any other 10MP IP cameras on the market? I've been testing the ACTi E77, but wanted to give it a fair shake against other models that may be out there. - Thanks

Here's a picture showing what is being covered by this camera currently.

All these cameras would be mounted onto a building at roughly the top of the 3rd floor. Two of them cover a meandering drive, the third would be covering a parking area. I'm wondering if multiple fixed cameras for the parking lot would be better, as long as I can ensure decent enough quality...

He's wanting to be able to catch license plates and see faces clearly at that 80-85 ft for the price point of the 2732.

Just wondering if anyone could give some recommendations on sub $1000 PTZ's that can zoom/track motion targets autonomously, and will work with Milestone Xprotect. Thanks

Here's a couple of pictures. First one is the old Panasonic BB-HCM531 camera that was installed at the site, second is a Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I(S). My boss wonders if there is any "Improved Quality" over the new Hikvision in the same price range. The distance from the building to the fence...

I did set this up prior to deleting and re-adding the camera, but I did not try to set it back up afterwards. I'll have to try this when I make it back out to the site on Monday.

I did verify that the latest device pack was installed, 7.3. It finds a device driver of Hikvision8x3 when I let it auto-detect the camera.

Well, I guess I fixed part of it. I now see a "Live" listing in the camera on Xprotect, but the Motion Detection recording doesn't appear to be working.

Well, I think I fixed it. I ended up deleting the camera from Xprotect, reseting the camera itself to default settings, and then reset everything up in milestone and the camera again. I must have checked/unchecked something initially.

I got the camera mounted, added into Milestone. Video looks GREAT compared to the cheap camera that was in the location originally. Here's the issue though. When I look at the camera in the Xprotect Essentials Smart software (running as a trial version currently), it shows that the camera is...

Just wondering if these can be outdoor wall mounted? The issue being, we've got an installation that will be pointing toward a gate that is roughly 30-45 degrees off from the building it's being mounted on. So the camera would be wall mounted, and then I'm going to have to adjust the field of...

Disregard, I finally found them on a google search. =\

Just wondering, where do you get the windows 7 64-bit drivers for a T20? Dell only seems to list Server 2012 or 2012R2 on their site for the T20. Thanks

Sorry, should have mentioned that the coax has BNC connectors on them for the existing analog cameras. We'd be using the BNC connectors, but replacing the cameras with newer IP based cameras.

Just wondering if anyone can share their experiences with PoE/PoE+ switches with Fiber capability, or experience with Fiber media convertors. I've got a couple of sites that will need fiber runs, and I'm trying to decide if going with LC GBIC terminated fiber capable switches or just going with...

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on NVR software for up to 16 3MP cameras running at 5-8 FPS. My boss has green lit Dell Xeon T20's with WD Purple storage drives and a small SSD for Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I've been checking out Exact, Salient, Milestone, and Blue Iris. Big...

I've seen several people mention using "Business Class" workstations for 'smallish' NVR systems. I was just wondering if someone could give me an example from Dell or somewhere that would be considered a business class workstation capable of running 10-16 Hikvision DS-2CD2732F-I at 8-10 FPS...

Do these come 1 or 2 to a package? It would make sense that you'd need 2, unless I'm missing something. =\

I have thought about that, but we're worried that during the pulls in the homes walls we'd lose the cat6. =\

I wasn't exactly sure which forum would be appropriate for this question. At one of my sites (personal residence), I'm not going to have the ability to run new CAT6 everywhere due to the amount of remodeling it would create inside the owners home. It was suggested to me that we could use media...

Thanks for the help. =)

Just wondering if anyone has experience good/bad with arecont vision camera products? Thanks

Yes, we would be placing one of these at each location. I was looking at the Dell PowerEdge T20's with the Xeon E3-1225 CPU. Do you think that would suffice, or would I be better off looking at other alternatives?

I'm planning on building NVR systems in house for the company that I work for. Thanks to some recommendations in another thread, I'm up in the air again about which software platform I'm going to be using. Here's what I'm spec'ing out for hardware though. I'm overbuilding this to account for...

Which Hikvision 3MP are you using, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm going to review the sites and propose the multiple 3MP camera coverage option instead of just arbitrarily making every external camera a 5MP. That alone will reduce the project costs by 1/3 if not more. That being said, can anyone recommend some quality 3MP outdoor cameras? The ones our...
