Here's another hikvision. Doesn't have POE though. I have a DoorBird and it's okay. I wish it had more accurate motion detection, higher-resolution sensor. I leave the motion off because there are too many false detections so it's pretty much useless. My DoorBird was installed about 5 yrs...

Here's a complete guide on how to set up your Hikvision cameras and NVR, in addition to setting up the smartphone app, etc. It's super detailed. The only issue I had so far was that my NVR needed a reboot, after going through the Wizard, before it would detect any cameras...

Hey Horseflesh, how's your NVR? I'm thinking about buying the same.

Is there a ceiling-mount bracket for this camera so I can mount this underneath a roof eave or sloped ceiling?

Anyone here use Netonix POE+ switches? I read about them on Ubiquiti forum and the user base there seems to really like them. I plan to run some Hikvision cameras as well as Ubiquiti APs: http://www.netonix.com/wisp-switch.html

Has anyone here run BI on a VM? I might buy a simple Lenovo server and run BI on a Windows VM as well as run other VMs for things such as Plex, fileserver, etc.

I've never owned any Hikvision cameras in the past. Is that part of the face usually metal? I'm surprised they would only make that face black as opposed to the entire exterior if that is the only difference. It's possible that the black face could help reduce glare but I wonder if it is...

Looking at the Milkisbad catalog, anyone know the difference between these two models: CMIP1142W-28 CMIP3042W-28 EDITED

Interested in newest catalog with new Hikvision 4MP camera. TIA!

Just found this PDF which provides a good summary of all of these 4MP Hikvisions. Maybe this was already posted elsewhere but I didn't see it.

Wishful thinking on my part I suppose because I'm sure you're right.

Razer and MrFixit, do you have any shots of your 4mm and 2.8mm you could send our way? I might consider doing a 2.8mm at the front door as both of you suggest and then 4mm or 6mm for the other areas.

I wonder if he meant this model which has motorized pan/tilt and is IP66: DS-2CD2142FWD-I(W)(S) http://overseas.hikvision.com/uploadfile/image/20150513121241461.PDF

These look nice. I'm a newb. Where's the best place to buy these in the US? Edit: found 4 turrets for $570: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bmAxDi56 Anyone know where I can buy the inclined ceiling mounts (DS-1281ZJ-M)?

Please PM catalog. Thank you!

Can I get an updated catalog please? TIA!

I did not know that! Thanks for letting me know. Any alternatives to FreeNAS that can run in VM environment and has ZFS capabilities?

I'm getting the Xeon E3-1245. I want to run VM for FreeNAS (Plex), Blue Iris, Windows Media Center and a test environment. I'm leaning towards ESXi at the moment based on this guy's machine which is running XEON E3-1230V3. He's running 4 x 1080p on a Blue Iris VM with a whole lot of other VMs...

What OS do you run on these boxes for BlueIris? I'm debating whether to run Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 or ESXi. With Hyper-V and ESXi, I will have to create a VM but with WS2012, it sounds like BI will run on it. If I plan to run around 4-5 cameras in addition to...

Re: Good source to buy Hikvision items at. How can I get a catalog and price list?

Just read that Canon has offered to buy Axis: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2015/02/10/canon-offers-to-buy-swedish-security-camera-maker-for-2-8-billion/ Canon Offers to Buy Swedish Security Camera Maker for $2.8 Billion
