I generally follow the advice of adi but at times I also think hey your here to make money and go with the cheaper options I have installed 10 000 ft of the Honeywell alarm wire in the past couple months love the stuff

the hard drive make will not matter any make will work the question becomes for how long. replacing is easy insert new drive go into the menu and format it and away you go. usually hard drives start to click when dieing. if you unplug the hard drive and power on the unit is the noise still present?

have you tested your wireless network to ensure you have a strong enough signal for wireless to function properly? I am going to assume you have a single wireless router which isn't likely to give you the wireless coverage you need for a wireless system. before you buy wireless check your network as it probably isn't going to be able to handle video to well.

you will need a hybrid unit to handle both Analog and digital or a nvr with encoders for the analog or a DVR with a video server to let u connect the analog cameras. I would suggest skip the analog stuff all together and go nvr and ip cameras. if you are looking for easy configuration I would suggest simply buy an nvr and ip cameras

you would probably need to find yourself a riser card if such a one exist.

what makes you want to get the 5mp camera? almost all DVRs and nvrs do streaming via web and mobile phone now. you mentioned specs but do you have a price range in mind? generally I don't recommend using your home computer as an nvr if u will be using it for other stuff.

Hey guys, looking to get feedback on what flexible conduit you use when connecting outdoor dome or box camera housings to a junction box. I have been using a flexible conduit from home depot but it isnt very flexible and is expensive at 100$ for 100FT for 3/4in. What do you guys use when making these connections and where do you get it?

That is fine, those will allow you to send the video over the existing coax, but you will still need to use a poe injector, those aren't going to do anything about power for you. This is what you would need: Camera > POE Injector > Media Converter This will allow you to power a poe ip camera and send the video down a coax cable. Why not just use the existing coax to pull cat5? Attach the CAT5 to the coax and pull.

Unless you know how to actually set up switching just go unmanaged, unless you have a need to create VLANS and trunks and advanced options like that.

Have you tried 111111 or 666666? Call the manufacture they should be able to give you the password.

Have you port forwarded port 80? and try a different port I bet port 80 is blocked by your ISP to keep people from hosting web servers on residential connections.

You have to use what is right for the cameras you are installing 12V is usually DC and 24V is AC, don't mix the two.

Depends on what you mean by paper trail, most banks and businesses are required to store records for 7 years.

I would say try reformatting the hard drive once you put it in the DVR.

You could try adding a ground loop isolator to your camera.

Im thinking I may give these guys a try, seems most have had a good expience, and I just checked the same camera at ADI was almost 250$ more, wont give product names or prices. May work well for customers looking to save that are willing to wait, but for my corporate customers I will continue to use ADI as I like to walk in drop the broken equipment on the counter and say call me when the new one is in. And my account rep is good looking too

You can not have a WAN IP of 192.168.0.100 this is a class C private address and is not internet routable. use a website like canyouseeme to determine your external IP.

Are you sure the water is coming from the cable and not another source? Did you install an actual outdoor IP (IK I think in the UK) rated camera?

If you think it is hard now wait until we switch to IPV6

The 1/4" chip on that unit is going to give you a rather tight picture, if you are looking to cover a wide area then you should look for something offering a 1/3" or 1/2" chip for a wider picture.

I know of a couple cameras that would work great but they are about 5 grand for a full wireless setup with solar power and everything not sure what your budget is, but I am going to assume not 5 grand.

I dont think this would be possible. Not without somehow splitting the network cable carrying the POE into 2.

Try looking for an option to lower the remote viewing frame rate, it may be set to high and may be causing bandwidth issues.

Also note if this is a 24VAC power supply do not put 12VDC cameras on it. And yes if connecting 2 cameras put both + wires on one side and both - wires on the other, don't mix + and - on the same terminal.

Never tried pushing it that far so I can't say, you could add a video quad in the shop and add a 'T' BNC connector to each camera, this would allow you to run the cameras back to the DVR and to the quad, the quad would let you output all 4 ch to a TV.
