Hi All, I'm new on here but have been trying to do a bit of homework before posting.
I'd like to have a 3 camera all-Hikvision with NVR set-up, and I'm a bit ham-strung with wiring, and would like to make use of powerline home plugs for ethernet within the house where possible.
So this is what I'd like to do... would appreciate your thoughts and advice.
I'm thinking of an EXIR 2232 bullet camera mounted on one corner of the house to cover the full width of the property at the front: principally pointing across the driveway and across the small front lawn (total 50ft). A second EXIR 2232 bullet camera would be mounted on another corner of the house, and point across the full width of the property at the rear: covering all ground floor windows and doors, (a single door at the far end, and double doors in the middle) plus some of the garden (again, total width of the house is 50ft). A 3rd camera (EXIR 2332 turret) would be mounted inside the storm porch at the front of the house - pointing directly at the front door (7ft away).
These are the cameras.
2 x 2CD2232-i5 (4mm) EXIR 3MP bullet cameras: Aliexpress.com : Buy Hikvision IP camera DS 2CD2232 I5 (4,6,12mm optional) 3MP HD 1080P Network camera Infrared CCTV camera POE IP66 from Reliable camera poe suppliers on CSST wholesale market | Alibaba Group
1 x 2CD2332-i (2.6mm) EXIR 3MP turret: Aliexpress.com : Buy Hikvision camera, DS 2CD2332 I, Network IP camera, 3MP dome Camera w/POE & 3D DNR, Full HD1080p real time,IP66, HD IP camera from Reliable camera handbag suppliers on CSST wholesale market
I would then like to wire all of the cameras using PoE, into a PoE (unmanaged) switch: TP-LINK TL-SF1008P 8-Port 10/100M Desktop Switch Including 4-port PoE: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
The PoE switch would be located in my garage, to allow me to run ethernet cables out to the cameras from there.
The PoE switch would then be connected up to my router (in the lounge) using a 500 Mbps powerline homeplug (real world 150-200 Mbps in each direction).
The router will then be connected to a Hikvision NVR up in the study, using a Gigabit powerline homeplug (real world 250-300Mbs in each direction).
This is the NVR I am thinking about (7808N-E2): Aliexpress.com : Buy Hikvision IP camera DS 2CD2232 I5 (4,6,12mm optional) 3MP HD 1080P Network camera Infrared CCTV camera POE IP66 from Reliable camera poe suppliers on CSST wholesale market | Alibaba Group
I was also thinking of this NVR (7604NI-E2): Aliexpress.com : Buy Hikvision NVR DS 7604NI E2 4ch Independent Embedded NVR International English Version HD 1080P DVR 1SATA from Reliable dvr usb suppliers on Shenzhen Uin technology Ltd | Alibaba Group
I like the higher 50 Mbps bandwidth of the 7808 over the 25Mbps of the 7604, but is the 7808 an old model or something? They seem too close in price to both be current models.
I intend to capture footage in max resolution of 3MP.
I would supplement the NVR with WD purple drive(s).
Do you think this set-up would be ok?
Would the fact that I'm using Hikvision cameras and NVR make it pretty much "plug-and-play"? I don't really want to do too much messing around.
I'd like to be able to view live footage (and ideally historic recordings) remotely on my ipad - is that possible using the Hikvision app?
Finally, do the camera lens sizes look reasonable?
All thoughts, help, and advice gratefully received...
