I don´t know the resolution of the software. But I will try it tomorrow. The price is ok ($69.00)

It seems very easy to set up.

You mean the one that came with the cameras?

I haven´t installed it yet. Wanted to know if the other software would be better than the original one that comes with Dahua.

I will try tomorrow

I just got 3 Dahua HFW3300C and 2 HFW3300 cameras shipped from overseas.

I am going to install them next week. Has anyone experience with them?

I just looked at the NCR Software recommended here.

http://www.webcamsoft.com/en/netcamctr.html

Can it be used for my cams? It looks better than the one coming with my hardware.

I can´t wait to see the results.

Can I connect this cameras directly to a 12V Power supply or o I have to use POE?

Maybe I just install a plug close to the camera or I use a 2nd wireing for Power supply..

Thank you!

By the way, I ordered

2 pcs dahua DH-IPC-HFW3300

3 pcs dahua DH-IPC-HFW3300C Full HD 3 megapxiel IP camera waterproof 3.3~12mm

I hope it was a good decision ....

I need maybe some more but wanted to check this ones first.

I am going up there next week (Wisconsin) to do all the work. I don´t know if the buildings are wired yet but I have to do it anyway as I need Internet in every house and I do not want to set up a wireless bridge.

I know that my upload is not very strong (I hope at least 512kb) as there is only DSL available...

I am not going to watch the buildings all the time. I just install the system because the house and property is empty most of the time and the neighbor is a thief

Also the landscaper is sending us invoices that are incredible!

I just haven´t decided on the recording system. Should I use a PC or NVR?

Thanks for your help and if anybody is in North Wisconsin to help ……

Thank you. This is what I thought.

I just ordered 5 Cams with NTSC for US. Can I also use them in Europe as I am changing my system in Europe as well?

3 of this one:

dahua DH-IPC-HFW3300C Full HD 3 megapxiel IP camera waterproof 3.3~12mm varifocal lens Linovison IPC-VEC8254PF-EI

Properties: NTSC

and 2 of this one:

dahua DH-IPC-HFW3300 H 264 support IR lens full HD 3 Megapixel IP Network Camera

I hope they are ok. I just don´t know wheter I shoud use NVR or a PC to record as for me the most important thing is stability and accesss via internet.

Thank you.

Does it make any difference any more? Don´t all the systems know both already?

I just wanted to order Dahua Cameras online and it ask me to choose between PAL or NTSC.

Which one should I choose? Does t matter if I use a PC to record? Or if I use NVR?

I know I Europe we have PAL and in US NTSC (The cameras are for US... Wisconsin)

I thought that this would only be for analog systems...

Thank you for your answer..

As nobody answers I try myself and hpe somebody can hep me if it is a good decission:

I would take 2 dahua HFW3300C:

Is it a good decission??

Do I need Cat6 wiring for this camara´s and also 12 V Power? If Yes hor do you normaly connect the 12 V? from a central Box or do you install a 110Vplug close to the camera??

Thank you!!

Hello!

I´m reading now for 2 days already in the forum and I learned a lot already. Unfortunately I am good in Networking but I do not understand Cameras. (which lens, ....)

And my English is not the best

I would like to install a camera system to watch 2 houses I own.

Both of them are empty most of the year so it must be a stable system (According to PC or NVR)

And it must be easy to access them remotely by Iphone, Android or PC. Also easy to download the files to my server.

I do not know if it is easy with a NVR system. As far as I read a PC would be the best solution. (I would buy one with Win7, 128GB SSD and 3TB HD for recordings)

For the network I already ordered cat 6 cable and 1GB switch......

Now my problem is the Cameras and the recording system/software.

There is so many possibilities.... Dahua, Axis,....

I think I am ok with 6 Cameras for outside and maybe 1 in the Garage.

My pricerange for it would be around 2,000.00 or maybe a little more if needed. (Only for the Cameras and Software)

As I said it would be important to access from outside as the house is empty most of the year and sometimes also rented.

The internet is DSL so there is no fixed IP. I use Teamviewer but for Iphone/Android I have to use something else. Don´t know what is easiest and best. (Going through MyIP.com?!?) Or is it better to use NVR?!?

Now to the Cameras: I attached a picture of the house using Google Earth. Unfortunately the quality is not very good. The blue circles would be the places where I think of putting the cameras.

Which ones shoud I buy? The Dahua 3300 2MP?!? Or can anybody help me with my decission as I really do not understand it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH and excuse my English please
