Thanks for the info rory

thats expensive trial and error

this is what it says for the camera specs on ir "4 times brighter than general IR LED" so that would go with what you said about blasting the area with ir....? im not debating, im learning.... I like the look of that camera with ir and all else built in, rather than going with a box cam in an enclosure with a separate ir blaster.... the only i dont like is the lens, would rather have varifocul, i think... in analog system i only try to use varifocal but is it as important in an ip system, where the image is larger already....?

how does one know the difference? that camera has icr

1 lux color, then b/w...no problem 1.2a 12VDC... no problem but 6mm could be a problem, crap didn't see that

hot swap RAID 1 with only 2 drive slots? That's a first. http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=182 http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=211 http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=161 Just for starters... lol well i guess im gonna look at qnap or lacie....i've read too many failure stories on netgear units

lol....yeah, i'm looking at a Lacie instead

Ok

Hey, didn't I read about this over at RC

Long Island, NY Aver hybrids.....eh series

I'm in NY..I was given a distributor to the trade but i'd like to check other options....thx

Yes thanks for the heads up....will check that out today... Aver sent me to another distributor but I would rather not deal with them, so this has been a great help, thanks again

Thank you...I do have an account with them they are 30 minutes from me, but I didn't think they carried aver its not listed on the website

I'm thinking of a 6216 for my own use, but then any of the stand alone hybrid dvrs, 4,8 16 channel for clients. I will also set up with a nas, I like the fact I can separate the video from the unit.

Bueller.....Bueller

Looking for advice for ip cams. Are there any good ip cams with the following specs in price range 200-500 us? Looking for outdoor bullet and dome 1.3 mp tdn / icr poe h.264 varifocal

looking for reviews / input on q-see QD6003D http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005PVXTSY/ref=asc_df_B005PVXTSY1849115?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B005PVXTSY

thx just saw this also http://surveillance.aver.com/product/hybrid-DVR-SA6832E-RACK

Hi Tom.... 1. Not all administrator settings are available remotely, some settings only made at unit 2. no hdmi output, only vga and is limited to 1024x768..... actually, after reviewing a little more those might be my only gripes... you seem to be the resident expert on aver units, so info coming from you is appreciated...thanks Actually 1 other question...what if I need more than 16 channels...would I just put in 2nd unit and use the cms software to view? Wondering if they will have a 32 ch. unit in the future

ok, so I've done a dozen or so analog systems, dvr's etc.....I am looking at moving into IP systems and have a few questions if you guys could answer would help, thanks. 1. Unless i'm confused there are more pieces of equipment in an ip system? An analog system has cams and dvr. IP has cams, i know that but after that i'm confused. Are there 2 different ways to go, first cams to pc with a card or second to an nvr....? Or, a third, cams to a switch, then to a nas...? So im a bit unclear on this. I personally do not like the use of a pc (please dont turn this thread into 'pc is better' etc) so im left with an nvr or nas. I 'think' with nvr the viewing software is built in as opposed to a nas where i would have to configure the network to the nas, use cms software on a pc to reach the nas? 2. Are there 16 channel nvr's or only 8 channel? 3. I am concerned with motion blur with the ip cams.....any info on that appreciated. 4. I have been looking at some ip cams, and for my first step into ip system I would like to find cheaper ip cams (bullets) that have ir, possibly 1.3 mp. Im not looking for a 1500.00 camera for 300.00 bucks , dont get me wrong..just dont want to spend a ton right off the bat but also get cams with a nice pic. It would help if i could get them at dealer status. last but not least.... a dvr is pretty much plug and play with a little networking...how hard is it to set up the network for ip system and then maintain it...i see some posts saying there is ongoing maintenance with ip systems? Probably will have more questions as I think of them thanks guys

nice. Thinking of doing this first at my house before putting any into a clients setup...I have 30 mbps upload

Thanks guys....haven't used an aver yet but the more I look at it the more I like it...I think it's missing a few things but overall looks nice

Should nas connect to gigabit port...or it doesn't matter?
