My name is Al, I’m a licensed Electrical Contractor, and have no problem wiring your house, commercial building, high rise, or running miles of cat 5/6 wire however don’t ask me to fix your radio, or change your camera's ip address.
I’ve been watching and reading the posts for some time now. Know I’ve made some mistakes with regards to my system, although some things have worked out ok so far (or pretty much so).
I’m using a PC with Milestone Essential, works pretty well although have nothing to compare it to. One of my Hikvision turret DS-2CD2332-1 cameras has died after a rain storm, which I need to replace. In addition would like to add 2-3 additional cameras. Have read it’s suggested not to purchase from Amazon? Also that the higher the megapixel the lower the night quality which I doesn’t seem logical. Cameras purpose is security, ir’s try to reach apron 50 ft, system set to record on motion trigger.
So my questions...
*Is there a more “friendLy” software I should consider
*Adding 2-3 cameras, turret have worked better than domes (especially at night) would like 3-5 mp cameras- any suggestions? and where to purchase?
Is there a substantially better recording software?
and oh so many more questions that I’ll resolve over time!
Thanks for taking the time appreciate the help!
