Thanks for the info. I guess the model you picked up is a 16 channel NVR with no POE build in. Essentially you just connect your NVR into the network to pickup the IP cameras. If you don't mind me asking, what type of POE switch are you using with you setup? Thanks. Andrew

Mat, Thanks so much for the information. The NVR you have is in the $400 range by itself. :) As for POE Switch and NAS, I do have a NAS. However, I am afraid about the Chinese market model that might be able to get hacked, last thing I want is for all my files in my NAS got compromised...

Hi Mat, Been up past 2 nights reading on all the great info on this forum. On one post, you mentioned you had an Dahua NVR, can you let me know which version it is? Also, I read on another post where some users recommends IPC-HDW4431C-A or IPC-HDW4631C-A. What is your thoughts on these 2...

Hi Mat, Thanks! As for thickest, the house was gutted about 10 years ago and the walls are fairly think, the bricks I recall are about at least 4 inches wide and than we have the studs, installation and drywall. As far as drilling thru the mortar, I haven't try yet. I had an old bnc system...

I'd read that Spiders hates the scent of Peppermint. Get some peppermint scent oil, put a few drops in the spray bottle and mix it with water. Spray around the area by the cameras, it suppose to drive them away. HTH

Hi Everyone, I was referred here by another member on this forum where he had provided me with some great information. Recently, there were some new neighbors that moved in and had been throwing trash all over the place. A friend recommended to install some cameras in front of the house to...
