  1. If you go to the hikvision website for this particular camera, it shows the specs for the interface below, but I don't know for sure if that's what it means about the audio: http://www.hikvision.com/us/Products_1.aspx?c_kind=1&c_kind2=2&c_kind3=10502&c_kind4=10504&c_kind5=10531&id=7563 Interface Can anyone confirm if this means it can send and receive audio? Audio Input: | 1channel (2.0 ~ 2.4Vp-p, 1KOhm) Audio Output: | 1 channel (Line level, 600Ohm) Communication Interface: | 1 RJ45 10M / 100M Ethernet interface Alarm: | 1x alarm I/O Alarm Input: | 1 Alarm Output: | 1 On-board storage: | Built-in Micro SD/SDHC/SDXC slot, up to 128 GB
  2. Thank you for your reply. Does anyone happen to know if these particular cameras I plan to get send and receive audio?
  3. Hello, I need a recommendation for what kind and where to buy cat6(or cat6e or cat6a?) lengths with the RJ45 connectors already installed on both ends. This is for a single story ranch. The wires will be running through the attic to the soffits where cameras will be. The only camera that will be away from the house will be at corner of property by fence. I found this website for premade cat 6 but is this any good: https://www.securitycameraking.com/CAT6-100FT.html?productFeedId=0&utm_source=googleBaseFeed&utm_medium=shoppingEngine&utm_campaign=Google&source=productlistings88412074014&origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQjw78vLBRCZARIsACr4cxw6NexDq4HtFJN7anpfgLcl-hwDb7GkIEr5xQXi9N7wfyUEi919E-EaAsT_EALw_wcB? Also wanted some input on the surveillance system I plan to piece together. I plan to get: Cameras: - DS-2CD2142FWD-IS-2.8MM (8 of these) NVR: - DS-7716NI-I4/16P (1 of these). This one is on sale with 2TB hard drive which is cheaper than the same one without any hard drive otherwise I would just get the one without a hard drive. When I need to expand I plan to buy: - 4) 6TB WD PURPLE NV SURVEILLANCE HARD DRIVES (totalling 24TB) I am hoping to get some feedback. Thank you.

    Wrong section, please delete.
  5. What determines the bandwith, the wire size? So if I had 12 cameras and it is 24mbps, you are saying I need the cat 6 wire to be able to carry 24mbps?
  6. Hey guys. I am new to the forum. I have been researching home surveillance systems until my eyes bled. I really am not that swift when it comes to certain surveillance terms, so please bare with me. I am looking for a decent home surveillance system. I live on a corner half acre lot. My home is about 50ft away from the road in the front and about 65ft away from the road on the side. The other side of the house is about 80ft to the neighbor. The back is about 50ft to the woods. There are a lot of vandals in the neighborhood that like to destroy mailboxes. I found mine in the middle of the road flat as a pancake. It was actually pretty funny for a few minutes, but it was not the first time. Also, I have just recently redone the whole half acre lawn and once in a while they will drive on it and leave tire marks. This is not your "oops i drive on the lawn by accident u-turn kind of thing". I have a pretty good idea who it is, but I would just like to catch them in the act with some capable cameras. Also someone tried to break in the back door so I would need enough cameras to cover the back yard as well. So after researching a bit and asking around I wanted the wiring to be the most versatile because I figure cameras and DVR can always be changed out, but who wants to re-run wires especially through the attic. So I narrowed it down to me needing to run cat-6 cable which I think and from what I was told is the most versatile. I looked on amazon for a system because of the numerous reviews, but what I found out was that the seller will be selling a bunch of different systems, but at the same time group all the reviews together which makes no sense, at least for the customer. What I mean is, you can click on a system and look at the reviews and some of the reviews are reviewing a totally different system. The way I found this out was because some people actually inserted the model number of the system they were reviewing and warned others. So obviously the reviews did not help. With this in mind, can someone with experience recommend a decent system that is a package deal? Maybe 12-16 cameras, I'm thinking bullets will be best? Thank you and I appreciate everyones time to help out a novice.
