I have a customer that is unhappy with current cameras. It's a strip club in the private dance area. The cams look straight down about 9' on ceiling. The room is dark with black lights and very little white light. He wants to see if a black dancer and black customer wearing black are doing...

Hi guys, I have a customer that is looking for a pc to handle 80 cams at a "club". They are watching and controlling the system constantly. Anyone have a ballpark what this will cost to have someone build it? He wants better than the 128 channel NVR I recommended.

Good suggestions. Thanks!

Yeah. Some guys at adt called it "lick and stick "

True. But you True. Been hardwiring for 23 years so I guess I need to market to higher end customers. Thanks for the advice!

Hi guys. I already know hardwired is better. But I need to offer something competitive to diy because I've been losing out on a lot of bids lately. What's the best battery wireless cam out there? Everyone wants alerts so something that detects humans and not a tree or bug.

Wondering if there's a way to control a ip ptz camera with a joystick. Nvr is an Alibi 64 channel. (Hikvision) and ptz cam is Alibi. Currently can drag mouse to move cam but want to use a joystick. Any suggestions?

We’re open to any.

Yes. Every person who comes in they scan driver’s license. I’m researching ip devices that can do this. Anyone use one before?

Thanks guys! using indoors. Any specific specs I can look for? There will be a total of 50 cams there so don’t need facial recognition on these. Just good picture for low light.

Ok. Think they’ll work with black lights? Very dark setting.

50 cameras, drivers license reader that will store on HDD, video cards That will send some cameras to a monitor and other cams to a different monitor. He has a system that does this now but analog and cams look terrible. It’s a pc. Maybe rebuild it?

I need a device that will store driver’s license pic on hard drive for a club/bar. Anyone use one that works well?

I’m bidding a job that is very dark, has black lights, and customer doesnt want the red ir’s visible. Is there a low light camera that can do this? Black and white picture is ok.

Hi all. I usually use standalone Nvr. But I have a customer who needs a lot of custom features that the Nvr cannot do. Wondering if there’s a reliable and honest guy that does this?

There are 12 cams on a Nvr. Static ip there. He wants to see all cams on a tv in a different state. Smart tv work? How?

I have an older customer that wants to view his cams from a separate location on a tv in his office. Anyone know easiest way?

If you have experience cleaning dome cameras or any type please tell me best cleaners and soft towels???

I’m sure it’s much better but I always offer 3 tiers but that cheaper kit isn’t bad. 5 mp hd. will help competing with big box. I’m small and starting out w new biz but 21 years installer. So I need resi fill ins til I can get more commercial work.

I get these Toshiba kits as low as $185 Four channel kits. For the entry level low cost customers. Still run good wire for future upgrade.

Do you have approx prices?

Nice drawing. The buildings are approximately 200-300 max distance to the farthest camera away. I was considering home running all cams but using 8 ports at each would cut down on cable costs. What type of switch will I need by pc? Two cams on central building are gonna be right there. And at...

Here’s a rough drawing. Any suggestions for different system design?

Owner is trenching some areas. He just doesn’t want to do it all over the place. The stables close to each other I’m just gonna trench from one to another. Will I need another switch near Nvr? If anyone has other design ideas please let me know. Pay attention to my legend. It’s rough but a start.

. Some of the barns are very close to each other. Any way to use WiFi for those or just shovel trench from one to the other if 25 ft or less?

Ok. Very helpful. I will post my layout sketch soon and see if you guys have any other suggestions.

I used ubiquiti once. 1300 ft thru trees. Locom9. Works good as of 3 months. **But this site may not have great internet due to such a rural area. Is there a way to use these bridges and split with Poe switches and have entire system recording as one even if Internet is down?

Hi guys. I don’t use wireless cameras often. But this customer wants 20 cameras placed on 9 different buildings. Besides trenching are there any wireless options? Unfortunately these buildings are metal.

Conduit looks ugly on a home. Depends on how they built it and where you live. Chicago area newer homes have a lot of mortar oozing in. Gets stuck. But I have fished outer stud space thru brick going down. Send couple pics of cam location and we can give you better suggestions.
