    STARVIS vs Starlight ?

    I am up to 13 cameras, using BI. Nothing can beat the Dahua Starlights! Mine are mostly 2MP, but (as pointed out by Fenderman) 3MP are out and 4MP are coming out soon...

    Mountain Lion Spotted Just Before Midnight

    So much more exciting than catching/capturing/filming thieves I can safely say, from here in the East Coast..

    how to make good cat6 cables all the time

    For outdoor cameras do not forget grounding. I use Vertical Cable part #012-021, with the load bar. I also wrap the drip wire in copper paper.

    That's the bottom line: A product is good until it's not. Learning costs money!

    Wild life viewing

    I ended up springing for the PTZ DH-SD49225T-HN. It's set up on my desk, for now, working with BI. So far so good...

    Carelessness cost me...I got hit...

    Well said, looney, surveillance tech alone couldn't have prevented this theft. How about an alarm camera, or anything different that could have been done to make us believe we're not spending all this money on a false sense of security?

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    Pardon my ignorance, but don't you need to plug into AC in order to get POE+?

    Dahua 2MP 25x Starlight IR PTZ Network Camera (SD49225T-HN)

    I suppose that if you don't juice it up to POE+, you won't get an IP (which is why I had to return my IMPORX PTZ). Is anybody making a good mini PTZ camera out there, i.e., needing POE only?

    What bulk cable for 4k system?

    I've had one instance, so far, when the rj45 burned to a crisp, but the spike went to ground, saving the camera. I use a wire tracker to ensure a good connection on the 8 wires AND ground.

    What bulk cable for 4k system?

    I burned a couple of "cheaper" Lorex cameras before I started grounding my cables, via the drain wire, and using in-line rj45 spike protection.

    I learned from fenderman that Lorex and Amcrest are rebranded Dahua's. If they're just repackaging the stuff (vs. modifying it) what's wrong with buying from a Canadian or US company, if you're willing to pay more for a more "localized" service?

    What bulk cable for 4k system?

    For outside, I thought you had to use the more expensive cable with sheathing and a drain wire, for grounding...

    Wild life viewing

    This would be my "fun" camera. I'm an equal opportunity Amazon junkie currently running 7 Dahuas (including 3 Amcrest and 3 Lorex -- repackaged) besides 2 Hikvision. I had to return an Imporx ptz, because it needed AC. I realize $500 is probably low, if I want top quality...

    Wild life viewing

    Need recommendations for latest camera(s) for wild life viewing in New England, night and day, less than $500. Thank you.

    Hot zones and PTZ presets

    A common omission is not to set the zone that contains the other zones, i.e., zones B and C, for example, must be contained within an encompassing zone A. There is a good youtube video explaining it.
