Hik 16 NVR failed last year, replaced with new in May, 12 Cameras and only the two new ones i bought work. Tech support is great if you could understand them as well as me having No clue as to being an IT. Downloaded SADP Tool software from and have NO idea what the hell to do with it. my...

If someone gets one of these critters maybe you can come back and Rant about what they have built-in. Iv got 8 a choice video players alone, have no idea what those Chinese are up to.

Marketing, that is all i can thi Pre-made when needed, however usually subbed out IT cabinet work, they get anal about "Colors" From switch's to routers to networks.

Iv seen this on the Bay also, looks like that on has all the bells and whistles, and likely a price to match. Wile looking into them i found many options i would never use (being Retired) so i figured $2 Bones would get me what i need. It did, the 8600 was a couple years back model, this dam...

Yes ideals is what iv always used, back in the day there were few to choose from, these work well for solid Cat no matter what another vendor states they are use for. I only know this for using them for 15+ years. Stranded? would not know or pay a mind to, i dont run it. I found it interesting...

Good link, describes a couple quality connector(s). However these cheapies with a single blade did not go into the wire, they skimmed the side of the insulation, hence the reason for the Dissection. They Stay in the trash, i do not run stranded Cat for me or anyone else.

Three prong is a good description. Two edges of Gold cutting into the conductor is better than one slicing one side. The Bulk one is the quantity cheapies that are now in my trash can. (The bag on the right).

Gearing up for my Re-wiring of the Homestead, iv been picking up supply's here and there. Shopping RJ45's couple weeks back, i realized i better watch my azz. what i found is worthy of this inner look as to the "Deals of Quantity" that abound everywhere. Ideals from Home Depot on the Left -...

Punch up this Ebay item # and then other items, this Kmoon makes quite a bit of IP hardware. My Mid price model 8600 has a ton of already built-in software, PTZ control, cannot say enough about this for 2Bones.

Gearing up for my Re-wiring of the Homestead, iv been picking up supply's here and there. Shopping RJ45's couple weeks back, i realized i better watch my azz. what i found is worthy of another thread. And this i shall do, couple min will post.

Back in the day when just a Yougin, i tripped on a dam run of RG59, A nice stud/rafter caught my fall, only my hands went THROUGH the ceiling. Of course this was above the office of the CEO (He was out Golfing).........

I agree with IAmATeaF, No reference to CCA. I would shoot them an email asking them to confirm NO CCA, before purchase of item.

I like Yellow for Attic residential runs, (Because you can see it). A "C" note + or - for 1K Feet of the Decent Cat6 on a WOOD Spool shipped to your door. EBay item number: 153170011701

Newark eh? Well they do have a good selection when everyone else runs out. I grew up knowing Newark, still get their emails every week, you can sure tell it's a Union shop when you look a Belden prices..... Ok pricing till shipping gets involved. i'll post my guys in another reply.......

Kmoon is the name for this item, i picked the mid-price rig @$200 + change. The Bay has quite a selection. Self powered / wifi / update-able / even has a built-in flashlight. Ip Tester eBay item number: 183439108310

Morning Gang: Bench test-Break-in of a couple Cams my Hik seems to be happy with. Motion sense, 24/7 Record is ALL i require. Shut down / Rebooted Hik couple times last night and let sleep over night. Fired up first thing this morning, Retains all settings. Motion has been flawless. Hik has some...

Thank You: I will fire these up soon and confirm as to weather "Retain Memory" or not. Weather here is pushing 80s, Cabin fever at maximum, im outta here....

Hummm, interesting. 1. These two came out of Canada, a stated authorized Hikvision dealer. 2. Hikvision is clearly on the camera 3. They both fired right up. I do have a couple No-Name IP cams that i tried for two days to get them on the NVR, VOIP they are, still the NVR would NOT pick up the...

Couple Hik cams came in today, Model# SG-7536. Just a couple off the Bay from a Bud. I am impressed, True plug & Play. Powered up both cams, connected to inputs 1 & 2, Then powered up Hik NVR. Instant Video!

Lots of us educate our self's with our wallet first, that's ok. not only have i done it, i STILL do it. Being a newbi here myself, im still gathering/honing my questions.

Although i totally agree with that statement, Current Closet Workers, (IT's) have quite a bit on their plate and dam sure earn their money. Makes this old Analog guy feel like iv got away without stress for 30+ years.

Just saw this thread, thought a quick read through before bed for this aging engineer might do me well. THAT WAS TWO HOURS AGO! After these Links posted i need a drink. I do feel good with the fact i can follow every reply here, and know what is being stated. cool.

You came to the right place.

Welcome Newbi here myself, you came to the right place. Study the links these members post for you, the knowledge base here is amazing.

Old school Analog, phasing into the Digital world.

"Need to match the brand" That statement alone is a most helpfull tip, For many people going Digital, that was last thing on my mind couple years back. Surfing the Bay one day, NVR's were just showing up, jumped right in and bought one, some NoName brand. Had a few Digital cams laying around...

Good read there guys. Iv just picked up a 16 channel Hik, couple Cams on the way. I will be running a few bench test(s) before committing to a make/model of Dahua or Hik. Just happened to pick the Hik first, once i get to know the innards, i pick up a Dahua. May the best/easier/friendlier Device...

Thanx for the Link: Got some dam fine refining on that Link, i admire good engineering. Iv seen you here for a few years, i was a lurker, You have givin great advice over the years.

Yank, Thank You Quick read through this little list here reminded me of life before Retirement! Likely my second year into installs some 30+ years ago, i lived for a "Better Way To Do It". I Retired couple years back, good time to watch the Digital age evolve, and it's getting there.
