I believe it is a 24V AC, because 2 cameras were on it at one point. So can i just hook up both + to the same side, and the same with the negatives on the other side??

I have this power supply and would like to know the proper way to use it, it doesn't have any labels on the screws.... Thanks!

Finally got the E32 installed, have yet to set up the NVR software, and adjust settingts... So many options your mind will spin! Here is an image, let me know what you think.

Pages 12 and 14 of the installation manual cover waterproofing. http://www.acti.com/download_file/Product/hardware_manual/E32_Hardware_Manual.pdf Thank you! I ordered some of these to route the wire on the brick wall. http://www.amazon.com/Grip-Clip%C2%99-Single-Cable-Mounting-White/dp/B000E9VK1K/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1373906561&sr=8-14&keywords=cable+clip

When mounting outside how do you cleanly hold the Cable in place? Also, what should i do to keep the connectors safe from the elemants? Thanks again.

The lens on there is 4.2 per ACTi website, I just ordered the camera, once it comes in and i get it mounted i will see how i like the view and change the lens if i need to (you can change the lens on this camera right?!) Thanks for the help

I will check out wrightwood, and the switch you suggested, i figured those eBay POE were POS lol. But if you use it and it works ill consider that. I just added two light fixtures on the side of the garage and the camera will be roughly five feet away from the lights, problem is the light doesn't really illuminate say, 60 ft away and nothing probably will unless i add a light post near the end of my driveway. The driveway is exactly 50 ft long, the camera will be at least 10 ft up, one of the cars has to park on the street instead of inside the drive so add about another 15 ft. That is the vehicle im cornered with covering, but i understand the limitations of the camera based on placement, or the lens i choose. I don't want to be too zoomed just to cover the that's furthest away, i would like even coverage of the driveway and partial amount of the street.

I think i will stick to the e32 for cost reasons. Let me know if im missing something. I need Acti Camera (where to buy? a1 security had it for 292) Switch - TP-LINK TL-SF1008P cat6 cable to run switch to router, cat cable to run to camera from switch PC on same network to run ACTI NVR software. Will i be able to remote view from my iphone? Thanks again if i missed something let me know!

The ACTi TCM-1111 is sort of it's way out, the E32 would do a lot better there, a 3MP bullet from ACTi or even their 1MP E31 but resolution counts outdoors. With 3MP, the ACTi would be able to ID someone about 20' away, the 1MP may only be good about 6-7' away. Figure a typical car is 16' long, if they break into your trunk, you may not be able to ID someone with a 1MP camera with a typical lens. ACTi provides free NVR software, but you still need a PC to run it. I've run as many as 6 ACTi cameras with their NVR software on a small Intel Atom based PC the size of a book and worked well so you don't need much. Thank you for the reccomdation on the E32, looks like that might be the ticket. I am REALLY concerned with low light performence, will this camera be able to do that without an extra infarred light? If i need one what should i get? I have a spare computer that i can dedicate to the NVR software, but wanted to know if this would hurt bandwidth if constantly recording? Also, can i set it to just record to a Hard Drive attached to the network? What benifit, if any, would a stand alone NVR give. Any other cameras i should consider?

Hi All, I am looking for a single IP Camera to cover my driveway. It is a typical style about 5 ft long. Recently some theivs have broke into our vehicles and i would like to at least be able to ID the type of vehicle at night as i believe they might live in the neighborhood. Anyhow i have poor lighting outside at night and a limited budget. I would like to spend up to $500 dollars. I have installed 4 different Qvis CCTV set ups before so i have limited experience but have been reading to gain some knowledge. My question is what would be my ideal camera & setup? I was looking at the ACTI TCM-1111 I don't want to have to buy a DVR since it will just be 1 Camera, with this camera would it be ideal to have it write to a PC that is constantly on, or to a harddrive that is attached to the network (is that considered a NAS?) I am concerned with my bandwidth on my network, will writing to a NAS or even a computer use enough bandwidth for me to notice? (I understand I can probably adjust the Codec to H264 and FPS to 15 to help with that.) Any input is appreciate, models and pricing would be appreciated.

Leaning towards the Apollo HD Pro 16, seen some cheap Cantek but worried about product quality. Where can i find the best price on the Apollo?

i meant 12 DBM24VD (total 16 cams) what would be the benifet of the Samsung vs the more economical Apollo? thanks for the reply!

Hello all, So i have most of my components chosen already. 14 DBM24VD 2 VCM24VF 2 BBB24F Now i need a good DVR. I do have a good computer available if i decide to do a stand alone card. I would like to be able to record at 30 FPS (need to see sleight of hand movement, high cash flow) Remote viewing from an Android. Allow external hard drives. Open to options, like i said i have a good computer (asus motherboard, i7 processor, 6gb ram) that i can designate for this task, or i can just buy a standard dvr. Let me know what you suggest and where!

geo will not tell you if the card is genuine or not just by a photo. only by ser number from card (has to be running) and software. D1 30 fps on a card 8 years old. i think you have been given the spec of the 1480. if it is a high cash flow business you will need to spend a little money on a good DVR of card (and not from ebay) it used to be cheaper to build your own system but take alook at the dahua DVRs cheaper and working out of the box. I already have a good computer to put the card in i7 processor, Asus motherboard, 6gb ram. And i did mean 1480 card, what would be the highest fps i could operate on that older version card? What dahua DVR would you recommenced for my application if i do decide to just go this route. Thanks again.
