Here is a screen shot of my current laptop using the internal wifi card. If I use my 5.0ghz usb adaptor, I usually get 450mbps, and I don'not need no stinkin cables connected to my laptop. So, I'm not sure why you wouldn't just said you can go with powerline or wifi, those are two options you can use because todays wifi technology has come a long way and you can achieve speeds that are acceptable by todays standards. But no, you just wanted to shoot me down, as you always do.

We are just having a discussion here, since you are the one who said wired is always better than wireless. Doesn't the Netgear R6300 wifi router send data up to 1300mbps? http://www.netgear.com/R6300# If my math teacher took his meds when he taught me, than I think 1300 is more than 500, no?

What answer is in his post? I don't see where he says he doesn't want wifi? And if he would use the powerline adaptors, wouldn't he be interrupting his internet? So tell me Tom, what is your data transfer rate with these powerline devices? I like wired over wireless myself, but if your going to say something, at least back it up. Tell me how much mbps you can get with the ethernet over powerline, just for the record.

Hi. you could remove your cat5 from network and use that for cameras and then run your network over garage power using Ethernet over power box. which is not expensive That is if his garage is on the same panel as his house. If his house is not too far from his garage, why not go wifi?

Why not put an ethernet switch and a dvr in your garage?

Your taking that as a personal attack? Your skin is way to thin my friend!

As I said, but you didn't seem to either read my entire reply, or you just are too stubborn to actually understand. It's the way you constantly point out the negatives rather than point out both the pros and cons. I only had a go with you once you started with your Listen Victor comment. How short is your temper if your going to let a little picture of a tshirt showing mr.negative actually bother you? Have you taken your meds today or is your next reply going to be something crazy again? As far as the fix for my nvr, I was concerned about kpbs, not fps.

Funny you mention that. Yesterday I was installing 16 1.3 mini domes onto a 3216 NVR and after the 6th or 7th one, I had to lower the bandwidth cause I was getting an error mssg and it was kicking the camera out of the system. I was only able to install 8 of the cameras so right now I'm at 4096kbps and the image still looks sharp. The NVR is a local system, not connected to the internet so I didn't even think the bandwidth would even matter. I guess I learned something new. For the little extra money, I do wonder if this new NVR could handle higher bandwidth. I would even pay the extra for it even if I wasn't connecting a 5mp camera to it.

I think you mean Where, not were. It just seemed like every post you make shows the negative limitations. Maybe it's the way I read your posts, nothing ever positive, always negative, and the way you say it, as if it's garbage. Other topics you always bad mouth Dahua and it's so obvious that you either dislike it or love pointing out the cons. What does it matter if you sell it or not. You sell it cause it makes you money, you don't have to like it or think that it's good. If you were simply handing out advise, than why is it you never say that it's a good deal for the price but it is just unable to do........... As usual, your misinterpreting what I am saying. What I was trying to say is, that I thought it was weird that if he was in the market for an NVR that can record a 5mp camera, how did he end up with a Swann? That's almost like saying I was shopping for a Mercedes but decided to go for a toyota corolla cause it suits my needs better. Why did you look at the Mercedes if a Toyota Corolla suits your needs? To me, thats weird.

Go in a room in your house with no windows, shut the door and shut the light off. Do you see anything? No you don't. Do you think you need IR's to help you see in the dark? OK, you just answered your own question. You can either go with an IR illuminator, or a better choice would be to actually light up the area better to secure the area more and help the camera out in return.

Were you in the market for a 5mp NVR but decided to go with the swan kit? Weird.....

There are other options I'm sure, but this is how I would try to do it. Everyone would have to buy a compatible dvr for the software though. They do not need a PC and run pss. Only the server that everyone will log into needs to run pss. You enter everyone's dvr into pss and log into their dvr's. Than you can open as many clients as you wish all at once.

In that case, a rather inexpensive way IMO, would be to run a server running PSS and add everyone's dahua dvr as a device and let people log into the server. It actually seems like a friendly idea and a nice way for the neighborhood to feel safer. I'm for NY and everyone here is out for themselves so something like what ur looking for around my way is almost impossible, lol

That would mean constant upload from everyone's house and would eat up their bandwidth. Also, that would mean the same cameras on their property would still be viewable from anyone in that community. Either way you set it up, I'm sure people would not like that idea.

have your neighborhood put cameras all over their house, put their dvr on the internet, and share the URL of each dvr to the neighbors you want to share them with, and give them the passwords to log in. Most people do not want their neighbors to be able to log into their camera systems, so good luck with your cctv community.

issues with what ????? why giving info is having issues. is that not what the forum is for and again you have gone personal WHY Someone who explodes over a little t-shirt? Someone that starts off their comment with listen Victor. You know damn well that is not my name. Yes, you have issues. You need to sit down, take a breath, and call your therapist. Yes, we all know you are god and that you know it all. You are the perfect cctv installer, no one better out there. Thank you lord O mighty for pointing out all the negatives of this cheapo garbage crap NVR system. Thank you so much for all your wisdom and buyer beware advise! You are 100% right. No one should ever purchase this crap system, it has no reason to be in human existence. If you record 5mp's you LOOSE other channels! OMG, someone call the FBI, DEA, NYPD!!!!! HEY BUYERS, BEWARE OF THIS GARBAGE!! STAY AWAY!!! IT'S DAHUA CHINESE JUNK!! DO NOT BUY IT!! BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!! BEWARE!!!!

You really have issues Tim. Have you seen someone that might help you for that?

Does anyone know a TV or monitor that can display 2592 x 1944 ? The reason for a 5mp camera is for higher detail when you need to zoom into something.

Are you wearing this shirt Tom?

I was just told by Tina at DSD that an 8 channel NVR can record 2 channels real time at 5mp. She also said the 32 channel can record 8 channels of 5mp. The 8 channel is 398usd The 16 channel is 430usd The 32 channel is 475usd Those are pretty good prices for an NVR that can record at least one 5mp IP camera!

It's probably not very expensive, so what do you expect? But at least if you have one 5mp camera, you will be able to record it now on a reasonably priced NVR. If you have more than one 5mp camera in your system, chances are your not on a tight budget and would be able to afford a higher priced NVR that will record more than one. It's nice to have options out there to fit certain budgets and needs. I think it's great what Dahua is doing and rather than pointing out what it is unable to do, I think it does alot for the money. What do they say, best bang for the buck!

Nothing beats driving 20 minutes to your local distributor with a bad part and walking out with a new one. I just wish our local distributors had the same prices as the Chinese websites.

I don't think they have release a price on this yet. I too received the email from DSD, but without the price and they don't reply to my email asking for the price. I really like that it records up to 5mp. I was thinking on using one of their 3mp vandal domes on one of my jobs, but the NVR I was using only goes up to 2mp.

Sorry, do not know the answer to that. So, no one is interested in anything I'm selling?
