Hi. If your not buying hik from a authorised dealer. Then don't use hikvision. Do not buy gray or China copy .... They will no longer work soon with hik software.

Where did you buy your camera from and has it ever worked. Gray or copy hikvision are no longer supported by hikvision

Hi. You can't turn old systems into new. Your system is too old made before the days of apple and android. Symbian Java ... Would of been the remote viewer

Hi. Not enough power for each camera. Why are you connecting two cameras to each output ?? Cam needs 1amp if with IR 2 X 1amp =2amp connected to 1.5amp output. Also if you are two up on each output that is 36 cameras Not a good install ...... 1 power failure takes out your full system You will need more power supplies and also along with the camera amps you will need to list distance of each camera and size of power cable used.

Hi. Hik ddns is not owned by hikvision You are always best either buying a static IP or use a ddns service in your own country

Will you be telling your tenants about the cameras. .? If you can't put a dvr in the house or use the Internet .. Then how will you power the camera

Hi. Black and red are external power Rj 45 only uses 8 ....so follow above diagram

So no one has any recommendations, other than to note that both of these vendors are tied to the Chinese govt. Hi dahua is much better than hik. Look at flir systems or Ic realtime.

Hi. Your milk house is fine ... No need for AC. Dvr lock box or make your own box with ventilation. I would also look at one of these for your barn so as you get some sort of notification. http://www.mobeye.eu/EN/products/18-fire-alarm/6-cm2400-mobeye-gsm-smoke-detector

You work in IT and buy hard drives from fleabay. your cooling fan might of failed and drive has over heated and made that fail But buying drives of eBay you are only buying another problem. Replace fan and new HD and you might be good for another 4 years

Hi. Why would you want to do this ?? It sounds like you could land yourself with a lot of legal problems. Rent out a house and you record the tenents and there visitors. I would not do what you are asking ..... It will cost you a lot more if caught. Including your house.

They are much better than domes .... And they do lock into place. The ones listed are small .

Why not make it all easy and check your emails at least once a month ..... That can't be that hard Hik also has a 30days ..

$1.500 for a 2mp PTZ Look on eBay Texas $500 for the same PTZ

actually I am installing it on other mobile so there is no chance of that! Hi. Why no chance ?? Just uninstall and setup again The password is only to open the app on the device. And you are prompt to do that at download.

Hi. I would give hikvision a miss. .... They are changing both software and hardware to stop the gray and copy units from China All authorised distributors are sending existing stock back for the new more secure units. You are best also staying away from dome cameras for your install and going for something like these and for the price and discount there is nothing close to the price for a plug and play system. https://www.lorextechnology.com/cyber-week-specials/4-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/HDIP44D-1-p

Sales people have no clue on what they are selling What did you call the thread ? And you add this next. Camera cables are the most important factors ..... YES THEY ARE IMPORTANT FOR WIRLESS SYSTEMS . always best to leave cheap China WIRELESS LESS systems alone .. Waste of money.

Hi. This might sound hard on you but access control is not for beginners. And going into a fire control without even talking to the company is a NO NO. Size of the install the fire alarm company also needs to know what you are doing since there system needs to control part of your system

Hi. P2p is not good at all and gives your customers problems. While all this mira attack is going on some ISP are giving static IP addresses. But p2p might sound simple you as the installers are taking away your customers network security.

Hi. This camera will do what you need ..... Look on eBay and you should find one CNB are good cameras http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html_new/products/product.php?seqx_prod=205

Hi. Take a look at the ring pro system

That's just it, I'm not either. Do you have a recommendation for something better? Lorex q-see ... Dahua .... Swann.... Hik You can go with avigilon ... Avermedia .... It depends on your budget.

That was the case until China government restructured hikvision remote services like hik ddns ..... No longer owned by hik the other is p2p and cloud offered BT ezviz. A data collection network for China government Hikvision are not bothered about the copy hik market or gray market and in turn distributors are dropping there systems ..... Hik has got themselfs into a big mess

Hi. Since your last lorex system they have been taken over by flir systems. And now are dahua partners. That is a good price for what you have listed.

Hi. Did you do your research on price or products ... What is your budget ? First don't buy your system from Amazon ..... No support no warranty and on two of your items you have to pay for returns. You pic a dahua NVR then a OEM camera ...... Again you might not get the firmware updates for both ..... Stick to same brand. Your cat6 you listed is patch cat6 ...... Which is bad for CCTV. Buy a reel of cat5 ..... That way you are not limited to camera placement
