    Hi everyone

     

    Does anyone know what this is please

     

    Is it covert CCTV? Or motion detector , On each side of the object there is a groove which says "open"

     

    Thanks

     

    Picture attached

     

    That looks like a motion sensor to me. Would be difficult to see well through that clouded dome anyway, unless there is a pinhole somewhere to see through. What is stopping you from taking it down and looking at it yourself?

    Hi guys,I don't know if this is right forum for my request ,but i'm looking for a small camera that i can wear/hide in my clothes and record pretty much everything 24/7.My goal is to have my life recorded/documented and then used as evidence to free myself from false legal claims(self defense only).I want at least to have a good audio even if i can't get the video of the fact,because audio can be used in court too.Are there any portable mini cameras with good audio recording quality and long battery life i can buy?budget would be under 200-300$

     

    Amazon has plenty of body cameras under your price range. "Good" quality is subjective and you really won't know until you try. Good luck.

    u willing to pay 100K net

     

    LOL. You didn't even read the post. If I can find a job to work one day a week for 100K I'd be all over it too.

     

    Working hours:

    Part time. We have two days work a week, could fit in for someone only available for one day a week. Possibility of it being flexible, agreements can be made after further discussions.

     

    Salary:

    £negociable

    Salary will be based on experience, flexibility and qualifications.

    They are much better than domes .... And they do lock into place.

    The ones listed are small .

     

    I can vouch for those turret style cameras as well. My parents place in Queens has 8 of those. I personally like domes once you figure out the intricacies of getting the dang IR seal to sit correctly.

     

    As far as HIKVISION - change your default password and it's not s huge issue for 90% of people until the next firmware hack. Lol

    1) Do not run RG59/coax cable. Run Cat5/5e/6 and future proof your customer.

    2) Some IP cameras support a dual output (one to NVR and another via a BNC connector) which may be an option. To get multiple on one screen may require a multiplexer though.

    A couple things -

     

    1) A rent drop box is a horrible idea. This day and age you should have an electronic transaction or a different form of payment. You pretty much said the scenario a tenant may use - that someone else must have taken their rent.

     

    2) My father owns several rental properties and we put cameras in the main entry, hallways and front/rear or building. We placed an NVR in the basement as used PVC conduit for our runs. What is preventing you from install an NVR in a lockbox?

    Slayer - where are you located and what is your budget?

     

    I hate going with wireless cameras since you still need to get power to them. For a single camera solution, it may work though.

     

     

    I'm located in NYC. My budget, hmmm, I dunno. I'm not looking to spend thousands of dollars(on second thought, I might consider it if the security system is 5-star and virtually indestructible by brute force means, show me a demo/video to convince me). I'm a disabled veteran, and I need this security system, at least in NYC, where it is tough to get legal help when your property is stolen/violated unless you have something to bring to the table (evidence) The Ringpro system sounds really good, if there's a way to secure the camera itself properly, I'm all ears. I'm probably going to have 2 of those cameras outside, one for each door. My biggest concern is with outside tampering of the camera. I don't want someone to be able to rip it off physically and destroy it before they do something shady, that's why I wanted them to be hidden in the first place, as to not be obvious and out of sight/ out of mind. As far as the power issue goes, if worse comes to worse, I can manually tap into my wires and juice the cameras but I'm at home most of the time so battery power running out isn't too much of a hassle to get around.

     

    The 2 door cameras are priority #1. I also want to install a third camera on my first floor. I have a trouble tenant down there (I'm the building owner) and need to keep a close eye on him(very hard to evict in NYC, so this is the best I can do for now until the legal process is complete). The camera will film the hallway only, which is fine. That's another camera that I need to be robust/untamperable. All suggestions welcome.

     

    I thought it was NYC that's why I asked. I used to do work out there while I was finishing up school. Check out LT Security - they have an office in Long Island and another in central Jersey. They rebrand Hikvision cameras/NVRs. Honestly, I found that just putting cameras is was a good deterrent but dome cams are a must in NYC. The bullet cams can get smacked pretty easily.

     

    I would go with (3) Hikvision cameras and a 4 or 8 channel NVR. Stay away from battery powered systems. Ring pro is more of a video doorbell and not full fledged security system but it may work for you. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss.

    I have a customer wanting to install access control in 20 residential buildings. Is there a way to connect all of these to the internet other than getting a new cable connection to each building? The only thing I noticed is that there is a modem there for fire alarm monitoring and it has an ethernet port on the back.

    Any help is appreciated.

     

    A cell network is also another option. Is he planning to install something on just front doors or in individual units as well? Give me a PM, I can definitely help you out.

    For your budget, look at one of the complete system purchases. Something like this

     

    https://www.amazon.com/LaView-Camera-Security-System-Bullet/dp/B0149OP3P4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480030471&sr=8-1&keywords=laview

     

    I think it meets all your needs except for optical zoom. Thats a feature that makes the cameras more expensive, so may be tough to get with your budget. Personally I dont find find zoom to be all that great because it means someone has to be actively monitoring the cameras to take advantage of zoom.

     

    Thanks. I might start off with perhaps two or three cameras, and do it right the first time. I've heard good things about Dahua and Huisun?

     

    I would stick to Dahua / Hikvision for a home setup. There are a ton of rebranded versions out there so just find a vendor that is responsive and go with them.

    Hope this is posted in the right place.

     

    Hope someone can help me out here. There have been a string of break ins recently in the neighborhood. We have finally decided to mount some cameras. After reading on this site and browsing online, I figured the best cameras for us would be the Q-See 4MP set from Costco. I should receive it next week. I’ll probably pick up a turret cam to use on the front door.

    http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Chann...100213199.html

     

     

    Goals:

    1. Install without too much hassle. Would prefer to do it cleanly if possible.

    2. Accessible images/streams from mobile devices and an attached monitor.

    3. Access to recordings for at least the previous 7 days.

     

    Site/Installation Locations:

    1. House is a 2 stories plus basement.

    2. There is no crawl space or attic access.

    3. The basement is completely finished.

    4. The house has telephone wire that’s CAT5E (I plan to convert to telephone jacks to Ethernet jacks).

    5. All cables terminate in the basement by the access door.

    6. Garage is detached; there is power from the home.

     

    Plan:

    1. Expand the hole where the ISP routed the data cable and run the IP camera cable bundle through it.

    2. Run outdoor Ethernet on side of the house and run cables along the exterior wall.

    3. Attach a powerline adapter in the networking area to connect to the detached garage.

    4. Mount a box or bracket to wall above the basement door to put all the hardware (NVR, switches, etc.).

     

    Questions:

    1. Does this set up make sense?

    2. Is there anything I need to purchase separate from the kit to install?

    3. Anyway to improve the cable set up (especially the network area)?

    4. Do I need to run conduit outside?

     

    Whew! That was a lot. Any thoughts or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for looking and TIA for your help.

    First things first - what are you mounting locations? Will you be willing to patch and paint to do a completely hidden install?

    New house needs 8 outdoor cameras and recorder in hot arizona. Any suggestions on bundled systems to use? A lot has changed since I first had one installed 7 years ago! I have had eclipse in the past. The system will be professionally installed.

    thank you

     

    Chris,

     

    I recommend gathering proposals from 2 or 3 local installers. Most guys will prefer to provide their own equipment as they can offer a warranty on the product. The standard for cheap and good video has been Hikvision/Dahua for a few years now.

    Does anyone know who is the OEM for the Govcomm IP CCTV cameras?

    Recently saw the firmware, and it looked very close to Hickvision past

    (many different) models/gui's. I know the app dl is a Hickvision, which is

    the reasoning for my desire to confirm Hickvision makes the Govcomm

     

    Any insight from anyone will be much appreciated.

     

    The hardware/stock pictures look identical. I'm willing to bet they are Hikvision OEM.

    Have you looked in to ubiquity antennas? They need to be line of sight, but they will solve your problem.

    Can you please elaborate a little more?

     

    Bring me into the project and I can help you with the networking portion. I'm only a short drive away.

     

    I will tell you that not knowing how to properly configure the radios (power setting, aiming, network setup) can cause you a lot of grief and may end up costing you more in the long run.

     

    Feel free to PM me if you need additional help. You can probably do NanoStation M5 radios if you have decent networking knowledge or just simply go with another brand if you will need support.

     

    Do you have a list of requirements from your customer? Any redundancy in case wireless links fail?

    Hello. Ive spent a week trying to solve this and can't. if anyone could help me id greatly appreciate it.

    I have a dvr (q-see) and want to connect it to an access point (edup ep-2913) but dont know how to config all the IP addresses and subnet and all these cctv tech terms... the dvr ip is 192.168.0.111 access point ip is 192.168.0.111 and both subnets are 255.255.255.000 I've toggled to AP mode, connect the dvr to ap via ether cable. my computers wifi card picks up the signal and shows the ap (edup_bodf7f) with full signal but I dont see it on my modem. I've checked the DHCP client list and the uPnP... attached is of my dvr any advice and help would be appreciated. thank you

     

    Change the IP of the DVR to be different from the IP of your access point. I have no experience with that cheap AP/repeater but if you could find the manual and post it up we may be able to help.
