  1. Hello everyone. I'm a guy interested in security. I'm doing a house and now I need to put the cameras and I have some questions and I hope you guys can help me to find the best solution. Requirements for the system: - Secured, some brand with reputation to not having dumb software vulnerabilities. - The NVR should be accessible with a linux machine, I often use linux and I want to view the cameras with the linux OS instead of having a windows computer or virtualised environment to access the cameras. Probably the best idea is to be accessible with any browser instead of only the IE with proprietary drivers. - Isn't necessary to be low cost but don't want very expensive. - I'm looking for dome or bullet cameras - Should accept adding more cameras using rtsp protocol. I found samsung cameras/NVR that accept rtsp, I think they have an application to access the cameras from a linux machine, and is a brand with reputation (I don't know in this subject). Other brand that seems like samsung is the Ubiquiti, but they lack of variety of cameras and the NVR isn't very cool. One solution I was thinking is to buy ubiquiti cameras and mount a computer with linux system and install some VMS to control the cameras. I already tried a dahua NVR and I can't change the password to more than 6 characters which I think isn't very secured (I don't know if with a firmware update will fix it). I want some suggestion about what I said above. Thanks.

    No, I can't power cameras locally. Is any other solution? :/

    I have another question, and I guess is the final one. As I mentioned above, I'm new to this. I'm thinking of putting one thing like this (http://i01.i.aliimg.com/wsphoto/v1/516410735/9-channels-12V-10A-font-b-CCTV-b-font-font-b-Power-b-font-Suppy-font.jpg) so I can distribute the power over all my cameras, is it recommended to use? I guess it is. Also, that power distribution box can power the camera recorder or only the cameras? And can I use a distribution box with 16ch and only use for now 8ch? Because I'm thinking of upgrade it later, but for now I just want less cameras because I don't need so much yet.

    If you didn't want to loose much money and obviously you are new to this, you should have at least consulted with a local installer. The wire must be 95% copper, or better, anything else and the $40-$60 you save will give you headaches down the road. Thanks for the reply. I didn't consulted any local installer because I don't believe they'll give me information for free, I believe they want money as a reward and I don't want to waste money with them. Here, I think they put the price of cctv things very high. I believed that this community could help me, so I give it a try.

    Very thanks for the reply. Do you recommend RG-59 or UTP cable? Which one can transfer better image quality? Probably I will buy some cable to test, but I'm trying to gather the most information so I can not lose so much money.
  6. Hello everyone and thanks for reading my topic , First of all, I already bought three cameras and a recorder, references below: - Cameras: Dahua HAC-HFW1100R-VF (1Mp) --- Video Output: 1-channel BNC HDCVI high definition video output - Recorder: Dahua HCVR5108HE-V2 (8 CH) --- Video Input: 8 channel, BNC I already tested the recorder and the cameras with a cable (RG-59 with BNC connector) with 1m each just to test and everything goes fine, nice quality by the way. Now I have some questions about the installation. - Since I need for a maximum of 200m between each camera to the recorder, I don't know how much is the limit of the cable to not lose image quality. - How do I choose a good cable? I think there could be a cheap cable that is not much stronger than another more high in price, right? - With this equipment the only way and the recommended way is to connect with RG-59 with BNC connectors? (I say this because I already saw people talking about UTP cable for this systems) - Where should I put the power supply? Probably It'll be complicated to put the supply near the cameras, can I send the power via the same cable as video (RG-59)? or probably using the siamese cable.
