Just use a $50 switch (not a router). We do it all the time. A linksys does it for us:D

Then why don't THEY say that?

I like the fish. Now, where'd I put that rod and reel?

Apples and oranges.

Nice job rory. Website is looking good too.

G22, great shots. Try connecting off your network and you will connect.

Wait another month. Argus is coming out with a good low end DVR.

I see it at least once a week...I think they are called the IT Department. when you are trying to get some IP numbers.

The current cable designation numbers are at best severely flawed. How are coaxial cables identified? Well technically, only cables that are made to U.S. Government specifications can be marked with the "RG" designation. But in reality, many manufacturers/importers pay little or no attention to the requirements. In those situations, it is up to the purchaser to demand that specific standards be fulfilled. However, as sadly as it is, most of the energy goes into bickering over the cost instead of the quality. And even if the cable carries the designated number, there are often cost cutting activities going on right under your nose. Following find the designated characters legend for cables. R - Means … Radio Frequency G - Means … Government 8 - The number in a government assigned approval number /U - Means it is a universal application. Letters that appear before the /U characters (i.e. A, B or C) means a specification modification or revision. For instance, it is common in the CB industry to see the designation RG-58A/U. The original RG-58/U coaxial cable had a solid enter conduct. The "A" modification replaced the solid center conductor with a more flexible stranded center conductor (that is highly recommended for use in mobile installations). http://www.firestik.com/Tech_Docs/rg-flaws.htm

Plenum is fire code and not necessary if not specified. Double the price.

If you are running the wire in a commercial ceiling, always use shielded. There is always electrical wires running the same path or at least crossing your wire.

Call the engineer and ask?

Best to use shielded.

Well spoken and sounds like your one step ahead. You sound better than some "experts" I've encountered.

Nice software tho.

Have the cams all set up, but still looking at DVR's. I get rip out cams from job, I bought a "cheap DVR" 4 channel and the picture was better than what most I have seen here. I sent it back...I need more then 4 ports, but waiting for show or a good deal. Have 2 dogs (they are not smart enough to poison them here) and a shotgun...but I am in a pretty good area.

No price.

Got me on that one. How much you looking to dole out?

All kidding aside, I'll toss my cell phone to you guys then. I have been working with this company in NYC and they decided to add 7 more doors and 27 cams.

I will be there with my bat, with a big "H" on it.

Just out of curiousity rory, I know you don't ship to the US, but how come you don't drop ship?

Ping the address.

The only thing "Sony" about the Gen IV is a company advertising them as a "Sony". You will find no where (engrish?) any cam made by Sony that looks like that (bullet-IR). You can get them "Sony's" for about 85 US Dollars.

The ground is there to ground the cam so you don't blow the cam if a surge occurs. The surge of electric will go down that wire, instead of to the cam. I always use a fused power supply from altronics. The only time I use a transformer is to spot test the camera. When you splice a connector, the ground is built in, it is either positive ground or negative ground. That is what that the circle around the plus or minus on the transformer diagram is.

...and if when that doesn't hold them off, you can always use the ak 47.
