    Hi People!

    So "bandwidth requirement" is stated as "bit rate." Is that 240 cameras per 2.4GHz network? Interesting.

    Hi People!

    Hi Mat, Sure it's fun to get them and play with them. But I won't live long enough to play with all of them. That's why I came here. Hopefully this will save me some time and money. No, I'm not in a hurry. I like the learning process as much as I like the results. As for an NVR, I already...

    Hi People!

    Ah, thank you. I've noticed both of these brands but I know nothing about them. I'll check them out. I'm beginning to read about POE. It looks useful for simplifying wiring, but it seems to limit your choice of cameras. I've also been looking at Wiremold non metallic. It might not look bad...

    Hi People!

    Yes, I can see there are inherent reliability issues with wifi, and I certainly wouldn't use it in a bank. So far the Panasonic has gone down twice while I happened to be sitting in front of the monitor. Mind you, the cam is 2 feet from the modem. I discovered I can revive it by rebooting the...

    Hi People!

    Looks like a nice crowd. I'm new to BI. I'm new to wifi IP cams too. I'm trying to get grounded so I can stuff my windows with these cams. I've tried Zmodo and Sricam, and I'm not satisfied with them. I've got a Panasonic BL-VP104W undergoing a stability test. I've got a Foscam R2 coming...
