Oh yes I forgot about the likes of Zoneminder! I was initially thinking of interfacing with the cameras themselves. That's very helpful indeed. Thank you. Nah I'm thinking of scenarios whereby you'd be physically in the garden, say for a BBQ or something similar, however I heed your...

Again, just like the insinuations you made earlier in this thread, those are assumptions that you're making. I never said anyone was mean nor did I say I didn't like the forum. In fact I'm very appreciative of the help I've received thus far. I do indeed, yes. Why? Because people have...

I was wondering if there was a way to automate Dahua cameras? I'll explain what I am thinking - say for instance a camera is covering a garden with motion detection however I see no point in triggering the motion detection if you know you're going to be in that area. Due to this is there an...

Woah. The hostility in this thread is unreal. People have lives outside of the internet hence someone might not reply from one day, a week or a month to the next. On the subject of a fair and balanced forum everything can't be positive I'm afraid and fair and balanced is exactly that - people...

I'm truly disappointed. From seeing all of the recommendations on here for Andy I thought I wouldn't have any issues but unfortunately I was wrong. I had bought one IPC-HDW5231R-ZE to test the water so to speak to see if I had any issues. I specifically asked for IPC-HDW5231R-ZE as I knew the...

So, Firstly, I think I was being a little ambitious with regards to the cameras I first selected. I feel that the Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE will be much more forgiving in my scenario allowing me to fine tune the camera to get the most optimal picture what with its varifocal lens. I am not aware...

Can I quickly ask specifically regarding the devices subjected. If buying from a reputable seller you will get genuine hardware however it could be a fact of receiving the device without manufacturer branding? Hikvisions since they no longer sell to end users can have issues with firmware if...

Thanks for your responses all. I am going to create another revision in the next few days to gain further feedback.

I wanted to create a thread to type out what my current thoughts are on buying a dome camera over a turret camera or vice versa in order to help me make a decision. Please feel free to chip in on anything I have missed. I am currently looking at two camera models DS-2CD2185FWD-I (dome) and...

Thanks for your response mat200. I am hoping that I can strike a deal with the electrician, as I have a box of solid cat5e left over from the wiring of a family members house, that if I give him my left over cable he won't charge me for pulling an extra cable to my selected locations...

Hi all, I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on the design I have so far come up with and answer the questions I have below? So I am buying a currently being built house and I have the opportunity to run cables wherever I like. Due to this I am going to install CCTV and I believe I...
