Hi. Have you tried the PSS software yet ... It gives you full control and recording

Hi. Is it not easier to use the network ports ?? If still using com port .... Are the ports open on the register

Hi. This is a good system and they are offering another 10% off and free delivery https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/8-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/HDIP88DW-1-p

Don't forget to mention Hikvision is owned by the Chinese government and has he worst track record for security/hacking. That also goes for hikvisions ezviz that is not even owned by hikvision it's 3rd party and also government owned

Don't take any notice of rank position it means nothing at all I would also recommend avigilon. A museum is a high risk environment and a domestic system is not the answers But your first people to talk too is the museums insurance company. Avigilon also gives you options of valuable add on and good support

Hi. You don't need rs485 on IP cameras it's data commands are over the network. What software are you going to be using ?

That is a classic example of someone who does not understand LAN and wan network .....the qvis has very good apps and PC software Qvis is a much better dvr and more features than the floureon and better support. If you are going to go cheaper then you will be making a mistake.

2amp is not enough for that camera ..........also from your picture some connections have been cut off You have tried on two DVRs ......... You can plug direct into your tv as well but the fact is you can't get a image With those PTZs I know had a ribbon problem (flat cable between head and camera )

Hi. No the Es 485 connected. But is that the power supply in your last picture ?? That is two small to run that camera

This will do all you need . https://www.amazon.co.uk/Channel-QVIS-4CH-Digital-Recorder/dp/6042297805/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1465723743&sr=8-1&keywords=Qvis+dvr

Yes it is IF the company is a member and none brand names are not. Also if you look at the bottom of the linked pages is another China trick. Certification of conformity.... There years out of date. People also buy Rolex watches from China .. Guess what there not getting.

Hi. No such thing as best and cheap. You are going to have to give a budget for your systems Face recognition needs good cameras. Just in parts alone you are looking at 60k plus.... And if you have not done IP before add a bit more for mistakes. Avigilon is your best solution (if you want it to work)

Hi. That camera will be on your network .... It also has ddns setup and a built in recorder. It has cell apps and PC software

Hi check your pm before you get your ladders out

You will also need a hikvision Poe 4 channal NVR. Look for a company in Canada or get in touch with hikvision US

Hi. Are you going to a PC based recorder ?

Are you in Canada ? None of your links are any good they are from China and hikvision will not warranty them from eBay or Amazon. You don't need a recorder it is built in to the camera .... You also get free software for your PC And it has mobile apps for smart devices VNm25tZZXa4

This is in your budget ...... Records to onboard SD card so no need for cost of recorder Hikvision DS-2CD2942F

What is your budget

Hi. I know what you want but please you are listing junk it is crap You are also asking for something to work with either a dvr or NVR ...... None of your eBay links will allow you to do that. Your last link .... Says 5mp ..... Look at recording res ... It's not 5mp. You can't get a 5mp for them prices Why do you need 4 cameras for a living room ?? What is your budget

Hi. $1 change. https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/8-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/HDIP88DW-1-p This is lorex and you will get a better system than Costco.

Hi. Nothing but junk .........it says onvif. That is rubbish it's not going to work with anything else besides there software Also look at the sellers 1 is $100 cheaper than the other. Buying junk from China is never good plus you have to use there cloud ..... Not only are you going to be watching but someone in China as well. If you are on a budget then just use a NVR and 4 IP cameras. Much better as with the cameras in your link someone only has to take out 1 camera ..... With 4 it will catch more. If you don't have a budget look at axis or the new 24mp dahua 360

No your pictures don't show As far as dome .... It is not just a plastic cover. Think of you putting a glass over one eye and looking out the bottom. Image is distorted. Same with a PTZ dome it has to be the right size and compensate for how camera sees.... It also applies to sun glare if dome is not right sun will blind the camera

Hi yes there is a reset button ....... Is your camera into a switch or router ? 192.168.1.100 is default IP if you don't have DHCP enabled on router

Hi. You don't get £40 PTZ bargains. Yes if all coax is connected to both camera and dvr and the camera goes home tour there should also be a image. And then you still have to dome problem Are you using 12 or 24v power
