Thanks for this everyone. I picked up a 30W and it works great. Next is to configure the auto tracking… wish me luck.

Thanks to both for your replies, much appreciated. I figured it was something simple enough but never considered power to be the problem. I will pick a injector up - does it matter if the injector is rated for more than 30W (i see some are rated 30/60/90, or are they managed?) Also I presume...

I’m using a net gear JGS524PE rated at 100W. However I’m using all 12 channels so I presume this definitely isn’t enough for this cam. https://www.netgear.com/support/product/JGS524PE.aspx

Hi All I just installed this new out of the box today andI can zoom, tilt up and down, but the second I try to go left or right the image freezes and I loose connection. After it loses connection, regardless of where the camera is pointed it then turns to its default position and default zoom...

No problem. Makes sense to me to keep the cams secure and on LAN and to not hog the internet line.

Thanks for the reply. I read the wiki on the storage and calculator and figured I could go with a 4-6 TB drive for recording. I’m only going to be using up to 12 - 2 MP Dahua starlight cams. Ideally I would motion record in a few of them and a few will be continuous due to distance. The guy I’m...

Apparently there are 2 slots for the HDD. He has offered to swap the 1TB drive to a SSD for the OS and then I can purchase my own WD 6TB drive for the video writing. Any thoughts on this or would I be better off having both slots with high capacity HDD? Extra network card is cheap and they...

You got me in the right direction with the off lease and ebay. Here is what I found. Will likely upgrade the HDD to a larger one as well as add a network card. Specifications: Intel Core i5-7500 3.4Ghz(up to 3.8Ghz TurboBoost) Quad-Core Processor 8GB DDR4 RAM(1x8GB PC4-2400T, 1 slot free) 1TB...

Thanks for the reply. I will start to look around both ebay and local as well. I am not in a huge rush, but I definitely want to get it close to right as possible the first time. I have heard the 2MP cams run better at night vs the 4k cams.

Good Evening All, I've been browsing the cliff notes here as well as various used PC's for my future cam setup. I intend to have blue iris running with 8-12 2-4 MP cams running for my home and property. I see the minimum requirements but I am hesitant to click the buy button on a few of...

Thanks Walrus. I'm transitioning to this from my first lorex system to an independent system that is more user friendly and less proprietary.
