We use the PRM4 surge module chassis and PNETR6 modules. You can also use the PNET1GB for a single run. http://www.apc.com/shop/us/en/categories/power/surge-protection-and-power-conditioning/surge-protection-devices/protectnet/_/N-1r8hw9s

Where are you located?

This^^^ Also the new tool fires up a DHCP server if one is not present. If he is just trying to discover cameras I think the old tool is better for the OP's solution.

I know it's the old one. I was trying to keep it simple for the OP. Since he didn't know where to find it tells me he doesn't have much experience with Avigilon. The old tool is much simpler for the task he is trying to accomplish.

I just did some mag locks on a portable building (AKA Mobile Home) using wire mold. It doesn't look bad. I can post pictures Monday.

You could use the hinge if you want to. They hold up ok. They generally get broken during the installation process. http://www.securitron.com/en/site/securitron/products/power-transfers/eh-electric-hinge/

Maybe use metal wire mold down to a single gang box and then use a armored cable to the device. http://www.securitron.com/en/site/securitron/products/power-transfers/tsb-c-door-cord/

I don't use Hik but I have a 9.99 a year Dyndns account that allows me to do 5 dynamic IP sites and I just enter my account info in the router and rock on.

Now lets see how long they last before you have to get one RMA'd This^^^^ Your profit goes out the window and so does your customers confidence in you. Been there done that and have the a box full of T Shirts.

It is disturbing how many companies are offering an entire camera and DVR/NVR line that Hikvision is the OEM.
