    CCTV software

    one of my fav software was by TBT (Orbix / nubix) Unfortunately they closed down and dont stock DVR anymore.. Also looking for a user friendly software that I can give to my customers. Most are not pleased by current software.
  2. Hello, Im trying to install a camera in a factory area There is a tremendous amount of dust and I find any surface is easily covered by the dust within a few hours. Is there any way to prevent dust from adhering to the camera surface? Is there special type of camera that is dust resistant? Thanks
  3. I enjoy Hikvision NVR more than anything I have used before. 1000x Better support than NUUO and almost 30% the price.
  4. thewireguys, thanks! Will definitely try out Avigilon. I like your username! " title="Applause" />
  5. Hikvision Usually supports wide range of 3rd party cameras too (motion)
  6. Hello, I have learned of a place that theft is happening at our store. Does anyone here know of a good Covert IP camera that I can set up. Whats the best way to hide such a camera? I don't really have a lot to work with.. Thanks
  7. Hi Thanks for your reply I do have such a mount, but it is too small to hide cable in, I need to dangle cable next to camera, where it goes into Junction box. Does not help if dome is MINI or Vandal when I have wires hanging loose... Other option is to put camera on JB, but then it looks much less appealing. I wish there was some minimalist JB that I could buy for cameras. looks im out of luck
  8. Hello Installers, I need some help. We purchased some Mini Domes from Hikvision (DS-2CD2532F-I) Unfortunately I am having trouble organizing the cables since it has no enclosure to hide it in. Does anyone have a idea how I could hide the cable to make it less visible? I am mounting onto concrete roof. Thanks

    Playground Installation

    I think the kids are all grown up by now :'(
  10. Hello, We are considering installing a Hikvision NVR. I have a few questions regarding the NVR: 1. What is the best model to go with when buying 14+ IP cameras recording at mostly 1.3MP 2. Would it support 3rd party brands, how frequently do they update their device list? 3. Is it better to keep NVR near cameras or place it in control room, what does cameras do when there is no link to NVR? Thanks
  11. Sorry for reviving thread, but can anyone tell me what software he used for the designs? It looks so simple and neat.

    Analog DVR Playback

    Hello, I have a question regarding DVR. I work in CCTV department at a large company. We review footage ourselves and also do our own installations. I know a lot of installers don't spend a lot of time doing replays on the DVR, so I would like to share my perspective from a end users point of view. My work requires me to review many cameras per day to spot irregularities. I have a few entrances that I start, and track objects on various cameras. Something that significantly breaks my productivity is integrated camera timelines when reviewing footage: Replay footage: Camera Timelines My current DVR is very efficient since it allows you to replay 1 - 32 channels via network (no lag issues). The best feature of my DVR while on 16 channel view, you may jump between cameras by simply clicking and double clicking on certain cameras and it will start playing on that camera recordings only (ignore all other recordings). Similarly when you exit that specific camera, all the other cameras will now be at the time you left the first camera (makes tracking objects a picnic). BAD: Some of my cheaper DVR that I tested, can only do 1 timeline. When you do replay, usually it take all cameras and you have to sit through all recordings for the whole day! What a waste of time. Another DVR (Hikvision) allow me to review 1 camera per time only (web interface). For me, moving between cameras is a fundamental feature that I would expect in my DVR software. But seems to be not commonly implemented. If there is anyone here that have used a similar system that I explained above, I would greatly appreciate if you could advise the Brand I should be shopping for. My DVR is called TBT and cost about $3000. I hope there is something more affordable that I can use with the same functionality. PS the software that I use is called NEMON 2.0 Maybe it is the software NEMON and not the DVR that is making the review so easy. Thanks for your replies
  13. Hello I want to download camera firmware I am on their website I see only 2 categories, IP 2 series IP 4 series. Do all their cameras share the same firmware? Is it normal to download at such slow speeds from their website? Thanks
  14. thanks for your reply. we currently have some of these installed Its got a built in mic but is useless with surrounding noise. Need to research some better microphones and get cameras with audio in, could I perhaps just plug mic into nvr ?
  15. Hello, I am looking for Mini Domes or Normal domes (2.8mm) with infrared and good audio. Can anyone recommend a good camera around 250$? Prefer hikvision but if quality is good, then np
