LOL!

I'll give you some honest advice. Send that $h!t back and get some decent equipment. Axis Avigilon ACTi Bosch Sony Panasonic Pelco Hikvision Vivotek Then get an Enterprise Class Server And some good video management software Avigilon Genetec Milestone

So you bought cameras from Home Depot for an enterprise environment? Outstanding " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> The word "Home" in Home depot should have been a clue

At that distance you would need a 40mm lens.

Wow Secure Perfect hasn't been supported for over 5 years. Even with a CD I doubt you could get it licensed.

Right click on the site: Select setup Then highlight the server: Click recording schedule in the right pane.

I break everything down into a task. 1 to 1.5 man hours per 100' of cable. .25 to terminate .5 to mount, point and focus camera,. (Sometimes more) 20 to 25 man hours to install DVR and setup. 8 hours customer training, Ect, ect,

Are you in USA? It says PAL instead on NTSC.

Wow, over 1/3 of the camera image is wall!

Do you have a door contact on both doors? The link I sent for the mag lock had the door contacts built in. The 2 door contacts need to be wired in series.

50 is not considered Large. 500+ is large. I maintain several systems, One is 900+ 2 are 1100+ and one is getting close to 1500.

Scott have a look for example when u use Joystick So your using an analog joystick with an IP camera. Been there done that. It's impossible to control because of the latency.

It appears to me there is a mixture of old spec and new spec combined. For example SC connectors is old school. 99% of everything is LC now. 4 Core Single mode? Do they mean 4 strand?

Doesn't make any sense to me. When using IP cameras that RS485 communication does not apply. It would only apply if you were using a analog PTZ with an IP Encoder. Many cameras use the Pelco D and P protocol.

How much time are you giving it? It doesn't happen quickly from a cold boot or restart.

Make sure the IR cut filter is dropping out at night.

Double click on 1 camera and let it go full screen. It will kick in to high res.

The upstream is data going to the clients. It doesn't effect the CPU on the server that I have noticed. But these are dedicated servers and separate Avigilon Control Center clients with 4 monitors on each. There are 11 ACC Servers total all loaded about the same.

PowerEdge R710 Processor E5506, 2.13/4.8, 4MB, XDN, D0 6GB Ram Windows 7 19 5mp JPEG 2000 cameras that have enough motion activity it takes 25TB to get 30 days. Same model server with about 70 assorted cameras. Encoders, and a few 5MP, and few 2MP

I have never pointed a camera to a NTP server for time sync. The VMS server should be handling this.

I saw this thread and was like: "Yes! finally a thread not about Hikvision. And then there it is!"
