My hikvision NVR has HDMI and DVI output so I use a HDMI to cat5e extension to the loungeroom tv and run the DVI to a Dell PC monitor next to the box. Because the NVR is in my closet, the screen is easily visible from bed with the door open. The wife leaves it on at night when I'm at work or...

The she you are referring to is my wife. My wife had no idea what had happened and walked outside. I was in bed when this happened which is why it took me longer to get outside but she was still up with our baby. We don't live in the US so not usually a gun violence problem requiring a shotgun...

Old video dig up but recently found out the peanut who crashed through the wall has lost his wife, kids and a lot of family over this. Turned out his drug addiction was a big secret and this was the tipping point I guess in his life. Sad that people will put themselves through this for drugs...

Yep. HAHA :D

Yeah they sure were. I guess when someone tries to run you or your friends down and you've had a few drinks... Fence will be a few thousand to replace by the looks. All insured of course. I see you're a fellow Aussie too :D

Sorry about the large image size, but thats after it was all over. Theres a whole section of wall missing (you can see part of a brick pillar bottom right)

Surprisingly the bricks pushed into the draw bar at the front and only the aluminium bars touched the white part/walls of the van. Most of it will actually buff out or be painted over. Looks like no structural damage. The safety chain I buried at the front to secure the van saved the back...

Oh and it's a 3mp Hikvision bullet(exir type) 2232 and Hikvision NVR(8ch) There is another cam that can see all this but this angle was better. You can see the IR illumination on the ground near the caravan.

This happened Sat night about 10pm... House over the road had some guests and was having a nice quiet night until a guest invites their friend to attend. He turns up hammered drunk AND off his face. He then assaults a girl and is forcibly removed(few punches of encouragement). He gets in his...

Why were the only options coax and wireless? Why not coax, wireless and Cat5 IP wired? Wired IP is basically as secure as a coax system? Also is there no way of making your current DVR more physically secure? Locked cabinet etc?

Ah ok, I guess that highlights my 'NOOBieness' to IP cams of this quality. I had no idea about some of those features etc. Probably something I won't ever need and as such I wouldn't risk all the issues people have by updating the firmware but at least I get the point of all the hassle if you...

OK so I am a super NOOB to IP stuff and have just finished my first part of my install around my house. Stage one has been, NVR - Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P with 4TB WD Purple drive(will add a second drive later) 2 x DS-2CD2232-I5 3MP Bullets 1 x DS-2CD3332-I 3MP 'Turret' APC UPS to protect it...

Print color copies and post in all mail boxes in their street or at least 5 houses either side of their house. Public shaming works wonders for behaviour...

That is dust, mist or heavy fog partcles. It is not bugs or a spider web.

That's the whole point of comparison images, one thing stays the same(the scene) while the other changes(50m vs 100m illumination) The images show the 100m is narrower but further illumination(back wall is brighter) but 50m is wider(roof trusses and sides of image better lit) Does anyone else...

Lazers are only bright when focused or scanned across a surface rapidly OR really really big and extremely expensive.

According to a loooong PDF I have read, high infra red exposure can lead to damage like being too close to a fire or looking at the sun BUT not so much at 850nm, more like 1400+ in their animal testing. It is still electromagnetic energy and even though your eyes photoreceptors are not...

I don't think it will be an issue, never heard of anyone being blinded by IR? It's almost heat energy compared to 'light'. You don't see blind kids from looking directly into remote controls haha. I also had no plans of holding this type of light in my eye!. I'll be using a cam to test! Once...

Will take a few weeks with shipping etc to get the first light and then order the subsequent led components I need to turn it into an IR illuminator. One of the biggest issues with the chinese LED's is poor assembly and heat sinking due to carelessness, not so much the design. You find stupid...

Ive ordered a 10w led light as a test unit to try out the theory so will wait and see what it has in it when it arrives. eBay, dx, alibaba etc seem to have various types as a starter ;)

Sorry to hijack, but how many TB would be needed for 7 cams, 1080p 15fps constant recording? I will be using a 4tb WD purple as a minimum, what will 2 drives give me? I found an online calculator that says 6TB would last 30 days at the above rate. Does that sound right?

I guess the white light may not be for you. Mine switch over too but its very quick. Maybe 1/2 a second to change, and another 1/2 second for the light level to adjust. Day vision/white light is significantly better for close range facial ID so in my case is substantially better than trying to...

Why would it wash the camera out? It's no different to any other sensor security lights... My cameras are fully adjusted in less than one second when my normal sensor lights elsewhere turn on? You don't mount illuminators right next to cams anyway. The lights will work fine. The optics should...

On further investigation, you could even use a multi lensed light bar/work light and replace a few with IR emitters(simply controlled with dusk/dawn switch same as garden lighting) and use a 12V pir to have the other lenses activate in white as a normal sensor security light. You would need...

A:With a cordless screwdriver..? The screw drives into the 'cross' which you used to drive the anchor in.

HI! Ok so after a bit of internet browsing, I came across the excellent but expensive Larson Electronics illuminators. These all look like led light bars off 4wd's which can be bought very cheaply. For example, their $181 3w LED illuminator is an ebay $20 10W led 'work light' with a 3w IR...
