Trying to find out what the best way (least amount of loss without running one long cable) is combining two Cat6 cables. So far my choices seem to be... 1. Put a connector on both ends and use a coupler. 2. Put a connector on one end and a module connector on the other...

I was asked to look at the camera system in a client's garage. # of the 13 cameras have gone out. They are all POE running 1080p. I have not tested the lines yet, but I am guessing the problems lies in the cameras themselves. I tried resetting, but no luck. Is anyone familiar with the...

Does anyone make their clients sign any kind of liability waiver? Does anyone have a generic one they can pass my way? Thanks

I have a client that owns a restaurant and would like to log in remotely to watch the cameras. The NVR is a 24Ch POE similar to the Dahua but doesn't have the Dahua name on it that Andy sold me. My question is... Is TeamViewer the best option for logging in to the computer in the office then...

I got my NVR today, installed a HDD, and powered it up. IT starts on the bootup screen (says NVR), but will not take me through the initial setup process, then the monitor shows nothing like it has been disconnected and it starts to beep 4 times. It beeps 4 times about every 20 seconds or so...
