Q2U

Well that's the Mr. Coffee Bluetooth Interface. And all for only $57.00.

"HD 1280x720 H.264 140 Degree 30FPS Motion Detection Clock DVR" But does it have the MCBTI option?

You may be able to find one here. What is your general location?

Dude...what we were talking about?...

Eight ( 2MP 1080P cameras @ $180.00 each = $1,440.00 Intel I7 PC with an appropriate processor & disk(s) to support archival requirements = $1,000.00 12 port POE switch = ??? ($500.00?) VMS software = $100.00 Cable & installation hardware & tools = $200.00 You're looking at $3,240.00 IMO (providing your capable of doing the installation).

I need to install a Swann branded Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I camera in an outdoor location. A "feature" of this unit is a (non-removable) pigtail, as shown below. The pigtail is going to be outside...this is the way I have to install it. How can I best waterproof the pigtail contraption?

Thanks Joey. Buellwinkle, thanks bro...yes I read the E33 review on your site last nite and at this point in time the E33 is number one on my list. I am looking for a 5MP IP66 rated to cover a parking lot. I will use BlueIris. As always, thanks for your good work brother.

¡Hola amigos! I'm looking for a 5MP IP cam for less than $1,000.00. Do any of you cam wizards have an opinion on the Vivotek IP8372? All comments appreciated, even la wisekrackos. http://www.vivotek.com/web/product/ProductDetail.aspx?Model=IP8372

Guns are the great equalizer until someone starts shooting at you at which point the inexperienced and/or untrained soil their pants, are paralyzed with fear and subsequently spray and pray. I they don't simply run away in panic. Too much Hollywood. Too much BS. Too little real life experience getting shot at. More guns are the answer to human violence as much as more highways are the answer to traffic congestion. This said, try to take away my guns and I'll help start the revolution.

Perhaps I should have utilized a better term than "high-end." What I meant was NOT JUNK like most of the car cameras I see on eBay. However, this product looks interesting.

Too high end; my nose started to bleed.

Bro, I already have way too much ammo, way too many guns, food that'll still be good when I die of old age...propane...stabilized gas...generators...lights...stoves...heaters...medical supplies...yadda...yadda...yadda. What I need now is video to protect me from these lunatics on the highway.

*BUMP* No ideas? Not even a flame or two?

Yeah...you can. There are some really good people in even the worst places.

Don't have a good way...until next year when the Dahua DroneMax-o-Matic is released... "...With a list price of $299.00 the Dahua DroneMax-o-Matic™ 5MP is a sure way to patrol those hard to scout places in your neighborhood! Got a cheerleader neighbor in an outdoor shower? Bad guys parking in hard to view street locations? Has Junior been smoking weed at the corner park? That's all no problemo when you deploy the Dahua DroneMax-o-Matic 5MP! Hover in near silence for hours! Capture a live neighborhood video while catching a ballgame in the comfort of your living room! Use the DroneMax-o-Matic's PatrolMode™ to schedule timed visits to all the best places on your block!..."

V.4.0.9 130419 would be newer than V4.0.9 130106.

Max, when you pulled the SWNHD-820CAM apart, did you see if it was possible to "unplug" the two-lead pigtail that comes with the camera and plug in (substitute) a Cat5 cable with a RJ45 connector?

You don't change the address of your router, you change the IP address of your local computer.

Whatever happened to Ms. ashaism n00b and her new surveillance system? So much energy was directed to her, but she turned out to be a one-post wonder. I wonder how she made out.

These canmers run very warm...just short of "hot" IMHO.

If your going to run nine (9) 5MP cameras your certainly gonna need some major CPU horsepowerage to run the VMS bro.

I'm beginning to think that perhaps Mr. MaxIcon is some kind of giant-brain benevolent alien from deep space on a mission to help Earth humankind jump its knowledge-base into The Next Level.

Wow. This is an MVP (MaxIcon Valuable Post); thanks a for all the good work. " title="Applause" />

Maybe not along the same lines...but here goes anyway... We have glass statue "quality awards" on a table in our lobby (they are about the same size as the Academy Award "Oscar" awards). So we had an old cranky customer come into our lobby this morning one hour before we were officially open. I think the guy is about 80-years old. The sign inside the lobby says "use the lobby telephone for assistance" which he did, but of course no one answered because the one guy who was in our facility at the time was deep in the warehouse and wasn't near a phone. So -- apparently very pissed off that no one had answered the telephone -- this old cranky customer picks up one of our glass quality awards and starts pounding on the steel entry door with it. " title="Applause" /> What a freak! The award breaks into three pieces on his second swing. So he bends over, picks it up, puts it back on the table, puts his hands in his pockets and leaves. The sign on the door he used to enter the lobby says "By entering this facility you are agreeing to be video-taped." Which he was! What a freakin' hoot. " title="Applause" /> I knew spending 80 hours and $2,500 on CCTV was gonna pay off!

Thank you for your post, this was very informative and it makes me glad that we posted six "Video Security" warning signs along the perimeter of the property we monitor. I thought that this, also, was a very interesting report... 'Watching eyes' poster reduces bicycle thefts
