    Does the HDD make any difference?

    Building a system for blue iris. My options for storage are buy 3 WD purple 1tb drives for $150, or I can put 3 SSDs I already own in raid 1 to have 700GB. I'm leaning towards the free option because the build is costing me $1200 and thats not even including the 4 cameras I have to buy and the...

    when your RJ45 connector gets wet

    Impressive what can happen when your PoE connection gets wet for about a day. Looks like the third conductor down from the top is half etched away from the PoE voltage. This pic was after I cleaned it up with alcohol and a q-tip, before the area was all black. This was a casual install just as...

    PoE lighting - compatible with Hikvision NVR?

    I've just found these Wifi Texas PoE 8w LED floodlights. Would they be compatible with the PoE switched built into the Hikvision NVR's They're a good price (1/10th of all other PoE illuminators I've seen) and have a pass through for the camera so don't take up a port or need an additional cable.

    Hikvision POE stopped working

    I have 2 Hikvision cameras that went out on me this month. The POE stopped working but I can put them into a 12v power supply and they work fine. These were in locations though where a 3-6ft power cord is not long enough. I have tried using a POE extender / injector and none of those work...

    NVR Selection and Configuration Confirmation

    So, reading through threads on here has of course been useful and educational. Given the amount of issues I've seen with people trying to access their cameras through their NVRs (and the clear advice from nayr), I'm going to invest in a separate POE switch. I'm not a network engineer and this...
