Every other company with a website also claims they are a manufacturer... Just like every other person with a pickup truck claims they are a contractor...

Show some pics of your install when you are done.

He thought what a NUT!!! "We will put this guy on our suspicious person list...."

Here are some pictures of the GrandStream software (Gsurf) that they give free to use with their cameras. Gsurf Login Screen Gsurf (Monitoring and recording system for up to 36 cameras) GS Replay (Replay recorded video files)

Me too. If I need a CCTV operator to watch my cameras remotely I know who to call. How much do you charge?

No worrys.

Mount a piece of 4x8 plywood to the pole.

Maybe he thought he would get Avigilon software too...

It seems very intuitive... All the buttons are where you think they will be. How long have you been using the Avigilon NVR client? Do you have it running on a regular PC with an Ethernet switch? Keep playing with it and I bet you will discover more features that are amazing.

I was given a demo of the Avigilon software client and playback software today by ak357. All I can say is wow... Boy am I impressed... The software is very intuitive and easy to use and remarkably simple compared to the other NVR software I have seen. I can now understand why Avigilon client is used by high end markets, the software is very simple and yet seems very powerful and feature rich. I'm starting to consider making the switch to IP for my home CCTV and using the Avigilon control server software to record the video. Has anyone here used the Avigilon software server client with other brands of cameras besides Avigilon? Does it work well for you?

Question for thewireguys: Lets say a crime happens and you need to show you 16MP camera footage to the police or in court... You don't actually think they will start installing Avigilon client on their PC's or instead of a DVD player they will set up a special i7 computer in the courtroom to be able to use this processor intensive client software to see your video... We just want to see overall video quality on youtube so that we don't have to install extra third party software.... Granted the video quality can only be up to 720P or 1080 on youtube I think you can agree that is sufficient to assess overall quality of a camera....

ak357 call the VP of Avigilon. You need to be paid commission for giving them so much advertisement for free.

So is everyone else....

MSRP prices are private? Hmmm.... Seems like some guys like to charge more then MSRP....

They could have had the nurse install it.

Keep in mind that the higher off ground the camera is the more of an angle you need towards your subject. Example you need about a 45 degree angle to a subject to see their face well enough for identification. So for a narrow front door area for example mounting a camera at 10 feet might get you a 75 degree angle which will be perfect to see someones hat or bald spot.

Is this a public view monitor or a public nuisance?

Simply the best.

Use a separate power cable 18/2.... You cant run AC power over cat5e and not expect video interference.

We have used both Milwaukee and Dewalt tools. It has been our experience that Milwaukee makes quality tools which we felt were better then Dewalt in terms of quality, and durability. I think you will not be disappointed.

Wow... Thats a drop... not quite enough

Too many questions. Too many photos. That's why the responses are slow. But let me give you some suggestions. You can install cameras anywhere you want. However cameras located too high will get you a view of someones hat. Cameras should generally be near face level if you want a view of someones face. Its not that complicated.... and if you find it is, do yourself a favor and hire a pro....

If you were an installer you would like that business model also. Customers who want high quality equipment (Security, AV, Speakers, Locks, etc.) go to a dealer. There are some products marketed to end users (diy) and some which are only available for sale from dealers / installers. Avigilon did not make up this way of doing business. Have you ever heard of the rainbow vacuum cleaner? Go try and buy it at Best Buy. You Cant. Have you heard of Mul-T-Lock high security locks? Go try and buy it at HomeDepot. You Cant. If you want there product you have to play by the rules they set up. You cant make up your own and expect them to abide by it. I do understand your perspective though.
