I'd love to see an image comparison between the dahua 3.6 lens and the anykeeper 3.6 lens. So, what is the FOV from a 2mp with a 3.6 on the 15th floor? LOL.

I was considering something like this, but if I'm doing a big IP job with multiple switches at different locations, than I would need one of these at every switch. Ideally, I'd like remote access to each switch. http://www.digital-loggers.com/lpc.html

Queens, eh? Fehgeddaboudit! LOL, yup, that's woodhaven blvd in that video and manhattan in the far background.

You definitely would need written consent from each and every parent and every year for as long as those cameras are in there. The first parent that finds out their child was video taped in class without their consent and if they have a problem with that, be prepared to shell out a ton of money.

Dahua 2mp 3200s bullet camera Daytime Dahua 2mp 3200s bullet camera nighttime

Here is my night time video of my 3200S. I'll take some daytime in a day or two.

Keep the light so the camera gets a better picture and make a hole than cover it with the camera and silicone around it.

I'm installing an 8 IP camera job tomorrow in PA and I'm using 1.3mp bullets. I actually went with a 16 channel NVR with 2 3tb hdd's. The wholesale price difference between the 8 channel and 16 channel was not a big deal. I'll know by tomorrow if I can get more kbps because of going with the 16 channel for 8 cameras.

Post some screen shots of both night and day of your swann system. You might be knocking your head for no reason at all.

I actually emailed that question to Tina at DSD a few times and every time she replies she changes the subject and tells me something good about this new NVR. I actually ask her why she nevers answers the questions I ask or if she can have someone technical to answer my emails. Gotta love it, lol.

I haven't touched one of these NVR's yet so I couldn't tell you.

Why do I always have problems with you? I just finished saying that dahua is lease expensive than other NVR's and was curious how much ANOTHER NVR would be that can record 8 5mp cameras? Why in the world would you even say there is no dahua that can record 8 5mp cameras? Who said there was? And if there was dont you think I would know the price? I install dahua!!

I still think for the money it's not bad and we all need to stop comparing dahua to more expensive manufacturers. It's definitely not wrong to let everyone know its downfalls but I think they know exactly what their doing and probably making a ton of money at it. I'm just curious, how much would another 8 channel NVR cost that can record 8 5mp's cameras at full fps?

What you say makes sense. I ordered a full D1 dahua dvr on e from my local distributor and when I set it up at home, I noticed the extra stream was only going to qcif. I brought it back and he told me he was going to bring it in the back and upgrade the firmware cause it had the old firmware. How can upgrading the firmware let the dvr stream in higher resolution? If that's the case, why are they charging more money for a full D1 over a non D1? Just upgrade the firmware and there you have it! Same dvr, same processor, same mother board, same hdd, everything but the firmware? And this new NVR that records 5mp, looks exactly like the 3216! I wonder can they just upgrade the firmware on my 3216 to get a 5mp camera to work?

well the answer to that is in the guys post. and wired is always better than wifi WHEN I SAID WHY NOT USE WIFI, THIS IS WHAT YOU SAID! There you go Tom! Right there! YOU said it, not me. You said the answer is in his first post when I mentioned to use wifi and than you say wired is always better than wifi, which I have proved can either be just as good and possibly better at times. You are saying he wouldn't be able to use wifi because the answer is in the guys post. I have asked you SEVERAL, SEVERAL, SEVERAL times to show me in his first post where it says that he wouldn't be able to use wifi, but you keep avoiding that. I address everything you say and I provide links to proof, screen shots, etc. You avoid everything I ask you that you cannot provide an answer to. Like I keep saying, you simply hate with a passion to admit if you make a mistake or someone doesn't agree with you. What more can I say? Your turn. But I know and will bet any amount of money, you won't be saying that you made an error or that you have been corrected.

A happy wife means a happy life! I know what you mean!

I understand what ur saying. The swan/Costco kits are great deals for the money. I just didn't understand how toms info was helpful since you had purchased the swann kit. I would guess though by the time your ready to upgrade, there will be more options out there for your needs and budget. But if you keep drinking free beer, you'll probably save up enough money sooner than you think! Lol

For the record I wasn't in the market for a 5MP nvr...I just went to their website and saw it was coming soon. All I wanted was ip cameras 720P or better. Quickest satisfaction, at a reasonable cost. For me that happened to be the swann system. If I ever redo this thing. I might consider the dahua, because it fits my needs for what I want to do. It almost seems like you think this is the only dahua nvr, is that true? You thanked Tom for the info on this NVR and than you said that you won't be buying it because you picked up the Swann. If all you wanted 720p or better, did you look at the dahua nvr's that do not record 5mp's? I'm not trying to start anything with you, just trying to understand.

Why wouldn't he be able to use wifi? Where is the answer that your talking about Tom?

well the answer to that is in the guys post. and wired is always better than wifi Ummm, if I mentioned that wifi was an option, and than you said immediately after my post, wired is always better than wifi, than how does that sound? And you never answered me about what answer is in his post? What are you talking about? Where does he say anything about not using wifi or about his garage is too far for wifi?

I think I've done enough. The OP just needs ideas and suggestions on what he can do. This is not an internet speed contest and we're not here to argue amongst ourselves, we are here to help people that need our help. I just wish every member on this forum would feel the same way.

Please quote where I actually asked you what you used. I don't remember asking you. I do remember me mentioning wifi and than you saying wired is always better than wifi. I simply asked if you can back up that statement. Than I provided a link to a wifi router that can transfer up to 1300mbps and than a screenshot of my wifi data rate. How am I messing up this post? All you had to do was rather than be negative towards me and my reply about wifi, was to say that either idea would be fine. If you ask me, this is another post that you have ruined.
