    Cellular Modems on NVR...

    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...

    Camera Suggestions...

    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...

    DS-2CD2732F-I(S) Milestone Xprotect Essential - Camera Stopped

    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...

    DS-2CD2732F-I(S) Wall Mount?

    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...

    Dell T20 & Windows 7

    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

    PoE/PoE+ switches w/Fiber or Fiber Media Convertors

    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...

    NVR Software

    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...

    Business Class Workstations for NVR?

    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...

    Media Convertors - CAT6 to COAX to 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...

    DIY NVR Suggestions

    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...

    5MP Outdoor Camera Advice

    Hello, I'm kind of overwhelmed with the amount of information on security camera models. I've been quoted a price for some Axis P3367VE cameras at around $1000 (not installed). I've priced them out found pricing anywhere from $975 up to $1200 (again, not installed). I'm shopping around to...
