Hey all, I have 2 CCTV cameras (each 4W max) that I would like to connect to my network using PoE. As my switch does not provide for PoE the other option would be using a PoE injector. I have been recommended the LevelOne POI-2001 Gigabit PoE Injector which provides up to 15W. The POI-2001 has only one input and one output port. Would I require an injector per device, or would I connect the injector to my switch to provide power to any devices requesting PoE (up to a max of 15W)?

I have an installation with 20 IP cameras. For the server machine I'll be using a Pentium Quad core with 4GB of Ram and a 2TB drive running Windows 7 and using Eyesoft (from Novosun). According to the software the recommended display requirement is 256MB and stipulates that as it is only for 2D a high end card is not needed. The supplier providing the machine and software has quoted the machine with an nVidia Cuda 512MB card and states that the card was built for that software. Now I don't mind paying for a high end card, I just want to know how necessary a cuda (massive multi-processing) card is for an installation of this kind (and size).

As the customer is not concerned with keeping the data for long and that the recording will be transaction and motion based we're using a single SATA 500GB drive. If I had it my way it would be 2 x 1TB HDD's striped. But the director always gets the last word eh!

Has anyone got any info using the Cyeweb software by Novosun? Branded version is Eyesoft in the UK. Basically I'm trying to make it only record during motion detection. Currently it seems to record all the time and only tags event times whenever motion has been detected. This is causing it to use alot of unnecessary disk space.

Hi Terrance My name is Darryl, I'm currently in Northern Ireland and I have a new Hikvision DS-2CD7133-E 4mm camera using a PoE switch. According to the specs it has a 3-axis adjustment but when I connect using the web browser the PTZ controls have no effect The picture is great and I can zoom in (but not out again without resetting the camera). Any idea what it could be (maybe firmware?) or is there anything I can do to get it working? Thanks in advance!

No worries Tom, I never actually installed the unit myself. I guess I could have cracked it open for a better look before posting. Anyway, thanks for the input guys!

That'd be Irish for, 'sup!' Anyway, actually from South Africa but in Ireland now and hacking away at the CCTV market. Looks like a great site guys!

Based on the groundreakingly hillarious use of graphical smiley content by good ol' Tomcctv guy I'm just gonna go ahead and assume they mean manual 3-axis adjust! Cheers!
