colincts 0 Posted May 31, 2019 Hi new to here but years in the industry.. I wondered if anyone had any advice on the best IP test monitor out there?? The IPC 5 in 1 looks good but I've heard they're a bit 'clunky' to use .. All tips welcome!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For my runs at home I put a Klein Tools Scout Jr. on a newly-installed cable to make sure the wiring is right, then fire up iperf3 on server and laptop to make sure it's really right. Then I simply hook the camera up, configure it into the NVR and have done with it. If I had buckets of money or was doing this for a living, I'd have a Fluke cable tester that would do parts 1 & 2 in one go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted June 2, 2019 always test the cables . at least wire map but I found a tester for less than 75.00 that gives you length and shows which end the fault is. I think my little wiremapper costs less than 20.00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
