You are obsessed with 4K

What are you using for VMS platform?

With the latest update Avigilon is basically forcing you use https for the mobile Gateway and HTLM5 web interface. A back up plan is the change port 80 or whatever port you are currently using to the https port. This way you don't have to change any firewall settings. I also recommend you send feedback to feedback@avigilon.com

Setup https access to your Gateway servers the issue goes away.

We do a lot of work for a large hospital. Let me know if you have any questions.

RAID 5 has worked for our needs but RAID 6 is how we setup our larger servers and iSCSI storage units.

If you have to worry about rebooting your cameras I recommend you spend your money on better cameras.

Hikvision purchases cameras from other manufactures???? Got any proof?

That's strange because Avigilon sets all their servers up in RAID 5 And I have not had any problems with with the RAID 5 setups for video.

1) Product that just works 2) Product that not every Tom, Dick and Hairy can purchase 3) Support

No never used them and never will. Managed POE switches give you all the options that you need.

Wonder which VMS platforms support the advanced features. All the extra features are useless if the VMS can take advantage of them.

I'll let you know when it's out. I checked with Acti today and they peed on my cornflakes. They told me that the Acti 4K's in the beginning of this thread won't be out until Dec or so. So, Axis is going to beat them to the punch because the Axis one is due out in the next 30 to 90 days. Like with Intel and other CPU \ GPU manufacturers, do companies ever send you early samples to review? Or do you have to wait until the release date? I have had no problem with that video either. I am watching it on a Seiki 39" 4K TV and it looks amazing. I can't wait to get my hands on one of the new 24-30 fps 4K cameras. I guess it's a good time to upgrade NVR's and PC's as we wait for the cameras to arrive very soon. Is Axis going to get the first one out, or has someone already released one already? (Besides like Avigilon who probably has one already...maybe?). I keep reading about the poor low lighting issue as well. Is it really that bad? I mean, if I have a really good external IR illuminator covering a small area, say, 40 x 40 feet near the house and point one of the new 4K cams at it, is it going to be super dark? I would like to see some early examples of this poor lighting everyone is talking about. Even the Acti rep told me that as well. Avigilon has there new h.24 PRO cameras which are 8,12, and 16 MP. They have Avigilon's Lightcatcher capability and are very good in low light. Axis's camera is not going to be good in low light.... I think the minimum lux spec is either 2 or 4 lux.

We do this all the time and we are Verizon M2M partners. You are correct you will need to pay a one time fee of $500 for the account setup at Verizon if you want a publicly routable static IP address. If you don't what to pay the $500 fee you will not be able to connect to your DVR without setting up a VPN. Sprint also has static IP addresses on their LTE network and I think they are still charging a $5 per month fee for the static IP

The Axis 4K camera will be $999 MSRP This camera will not be good in low light. XdWWmcIwDQY

I know. Pretty amazing. I wonder if anyone can find the release dates and prices. But this is ACTI so I don't have my hopes up. From my experience ACTI has been flakey and sub par image quality.

40x 4k PTZ cameras wow

I have been using Planet media converters. I really like the ones with POE output if your only connecting to one camera.

Why do you need 30FPS? What do you want to record?

^^^ Curious why you think a NVR solution would have anything to do with the cameras compression? Also 6-7 FPS is more then enough FPS for most situations unless you personally just want smoother video.

Make sure you configure your network to support multicast streaming.

Try "Admin mode"

Dahua's HDCVI is a interesting option but keep in mind it is a proprietary technology with limited camera choices. Buy the equipment now and who knows what options (if any) will be available next year. Also you can't purchase Dahua branded products in the US. You would have to go with one of the many rebranding resellers.
