I dont see that camera supported by synology...i dont get the idea of saving a few bux and going with a no name brand then spending hours trying to get it to work.. Try this http://www.ispyconnect.com/man.aspx?n=Kayodo you can also try wireshark of fiddler to try and figure out the stream.. you should be able to get it working with ispy or blue iris..

What is the model number of the swann cameras?

If you are going with standard hikvision or dahua cameras you will be fine with shokwaves switch. They only consume 3-7w of power. The only time you would use an injector is if you are only powering one camera or an odd number line 5, so you need that one extra connection.

to bad you wired a new install with BNC...regardless, you can do an SDI system a but more than your budget buy you should much better picture than the cheaper stuff http://www.costco.com/CatalogSearch?storeId=10301&catalogId=10701&langId=-1&refine=&keyword=sdi+camera

what software will you be using?

Yes of course. An NVR records video streams send over the network by network cameras. An encoder takes an analog camera and encodes to a network protocol http://www.axis.com/products/video/video_server/about_video_servers/videoencoder.htm

use ip cameras. Ethernet is good for 328f but you can but a switch or repeater in between. 1 switch in the area with the cameras, and 1 repeater in the run to the NVR. Running that much rg6 cable is insane.

Good call. Make sure the cable is solid copper not copper clad aluminum (cca). It should be solid not stranded. Cat5e or cat6 it doesnt really matter for ip cams but if you are going through the trouble just go with cat6, the cost difference is negligible. I would supply my own cable to make certain its the good stuff.

The default http port is 80. 8000 is the media port. All blue iris cares about (for the video stream) is the rtsp port which is 554 by default. Thats why when abdelm01 put 8000 in the http port it still worked. OP is probably using blue iris because the hikvision is not his only camera and needs software that can be used with various brands...or there a features that ivms does not support like webserver or software based motion to allow for different settings for recording vs alerts, to name a few.

Forget about a wireless system, they are unreliable and lousy. You need to run power anyway, run ethernet and use POE (power over ethernet) so you only need one wire per camera. If you want something plug and play look at the swann and qsee IP (not sdi,) systems at costco. They are rebranded hikvisions and dahuas. If you cannot run cable yourself pay someone with expertise to run the cable, they can do it neatly and cleanly. It will cost you less than trying to get wifi working and will be stable.

your modem should not be plugged into your switch Modem>wan port on router> switch plugged into one of your router ports.

a single run is always better than a patched run. Folks only use patch panels for neatness, or they are concerned that there might be breakage of the cable is disturbed alot. I doubt you will have any issue using indoor cable outdoors..i have done this for years without issue. Just use good quality cable, Solid copper not copper clad aluminum or CCA. Home depot usually carries overpriced junk, buy from monoprice or cable matters on amazon.

I dont know if it would have the same effect. Have you tried other ways of eliminating the glare? Making sure the foam ring is pressed up against the glass? where is this camera mounted?

Nice work...Good catch..

The sadp application will find the camera and allow you to make changes regardless of the ip range of your router. The other way to do it by changing your pcs network settings...there are lots of posts here about doing it that way.

hikvision makes an ip pinhole covert cam.

Dont do it, you will not be satisfied. Go with a wired system. If you cannot run the wires yourself pay a pro just to run cable. If you MUST try wireless, you can give the hikvision 2432 cube camera a shot, but you will need a good strong wifi signal. If you are considering outdoor wifi dont...keep in mind that no camera is wireless so you need a power source,,,you may as well run cable... For indoors a plan B might be powerline adapters...but they are not 100 percent... Bottom line, run the cable. What are you trying to watch? what is the purpose of the system?

Keep in mind that most dahua cameras will only do 15 or 20fps in 3mp mode. They will only do 30 at 2mp..read the specs...

Dont have the system but its most likely the way it works....there is nothing you could do. You will learn very fast that wireless and security cameras dont go together...

What NVR are you using. If you have hikvision cameras you should be using hikvision NVR. Often times you cannot use other NVR's for motion detection.

Then use VPN...or dont port forward the camera, or dont be so paranoid

looks ok. The 2132 are outdoor cams as well not just indoor...keep in mind that they cannot be wall mounted without a braket....

There is no issue with putting a poe switch in the garage..i do it all the time without any problems. I certainly would not buy a 200 box to protect a 50 dollar switch for the 4 cams op wants to install....
