Id like to try this, to get my views close for axis cameras. anyone know if these will work for axis?

found a used one and got it. works great. i used my iPad to adjust the cameras on a boom lift. all you need is to download an app per camera type. only problem i have so far is with axis cameras that have auto focus. (i need to find an app for that) basically this tester comes with a tiny router and supplies power to the camera. you need to synch your iPad or iPhone to this wifi that the tester supplies.

Looking to install some IP mini domes on the exterior of a building, with no overhang. Is there a general wall mount bracket I can use?

the cameras im using are ipod-el1mpir50 from securitycameraking. they articulate every direction. outside dimension is 4.5" i could mount them directly to the wall, but i like the wall mount look, and it keeps the snow/rain off the lens cover.

Is it possible to get 8 lower end IP camera (dahua?) ,NVR, switch, for under $5k? Do I need an NVR or can I get software that records? Thanks.

Does dahua or similar priced cams work in -10 f degrees? We had a cold winter here in michigan

Ok, do I need an nvr or can I just plug it into a Poe switch

I've got 768k upload on dsl, and 1.5 down. Will I be able to watch an 8 camera system on my home with an iPhone?

4 ch xavee hard drive squeaking and finally gave up best buy sold me a pata drive, when it had an ata drive. its not getting recognized.. cant find manual, hmmff this is what it looks like- http://www.shop.derisco.com/product.sc?productId=976&categoryId=24

thanks for the reply guys. I got it to work in the slave spot. Really is the same cable power etc. not sure how it knows its the slaver. different pins on the cable? can i run it in the slave position?

after dropping my last two dvd players, I might try something else. The dvd player is nice, with its batter and all. I did see a backup camera screen at sams club for $100. Not sure about hooking up a batter to it though.

I havent used this dvr in a while. bought it for my house and it has worked ok. we just moved a few months ago, and i never hooked it back up. wifes car got stolen last night so... Hooking up cameras, and it acts like the cable is not working. I have tried a few, to no success. I can see partial picture of dvr view, and its flipping, etc http://www.cctv.net/Xavee_412_Standalone_DVR_p/xa-dvr-ta412.htm

Have they fixed the downloading evidence problem, or is it easier now?

anyone know the differences between the old .net? I loved that dvr for the price.

You could run a conduit into the building, but what for? Just drill a hole, mount the box, and seal around it with caulk.

Im putting a camera on a fiberglass fish tape to check out how dirty my hvac ducts are. (having a baby in 8 weeks) anyone done this before?

What is the easiest way to get evidence off of these dvrs? Ive tried the usb port, with a flash drive and couldnt get it to work. Maybe I should just download the event remotely and then write to a disk?

Have you ever seen how the alarm companys do it? The door is premade with an open channel on the side of the door, and the frame. (1" x 4"?) This one that I had seen a guy wire was for a card access IT room. Hopefully you have a nice hollow door to fish...

well,my house is only 11oo sq ft, so the ducts are only 10' or so.. some were dirty, some were clean.

gopro makes helmet cams that a lot of motocrossers use. theyre pretty cheap and work good too

Im a few hours away from this store, but the cops and or network tech brother of the owner are having troubles downloading the video to a zip or flash drive. I told the owner to call tech support to see if there is anything special that the manual doesnt show. anyone?

I have a friend that wants to put a dvr in the ceiling. How do you guys secure a dvr to prevent theft? Lockbox?

test what your upload/download speeds are, at both ends.

sometimes these "media converters" as posted above are also called "transceivers" if this helps Used them plenty in the network field http://www.supercircuits.com/Video-Baluns/FOTS-1

Absolutely! I put two of these in a couple restaurants. Went back a month later, and the dvr was only at 14% full. 500gb. Of course i have the quality set to normal, and not high, as the owner likes to watch from home. remote downloading does suck though (slow)
