    LOL. Some things - like m TV's - the ones I want are not made anymore ....hehe, I've got a 55 and 65" Plasma at home.

     

    In the process of tweaking the vacay house. Wish I could put a Plasma in there as well - I prefer the colors and viewing angles, and IMO, nothing on the market is comparable currently.

     

    Tech as always will always be a chasing game. It's whether wait for the next best thing, and or just be *content*

    I don't follow CCTV industry but seems like ISC West is right around the corner...

     

    From the time of expo, what is the timeframe when said products shown are generally released. 2 months, 6 months, a year later...

     

    About to drop some $$ on some 3367VE but I'd hate to have something *newer* come out right afterwards. Heh, who knows. Maybe there will be a new starlight dome

    Hi All -

     

    I have a Synology station.

    At this point in time, I don't have a need to put camera's all around the house.

     

    I simply want to put 1 camera via POE-IP for my Synology to connect.

    I want to put it on the inside ledger of my front of the house window.

    It see's Sunlight from 9-3PM.

    HD preferable.

     

    Budgetwise, the camera is not a *high priority* for me.

    However, PQ are +++

     

    Suggestions, recommendations .

    Most of the ones rated for home use will not work well with more then a camera or 2.

     

     

    I don't have their grid in front of me but I believe they had it rated at 20 camera.

     

    Let's chat more about ~other~ NVR software packages.

    Picture Quality is what counts.

    I don't think I will use it to *monitor* what is on display.

     

    It has been prompted me to install one due to attempted robbery of my car.....

     

    I am quite intimate with hardware and tweaking computers.....former netops project manager

     

    I DID like the footprint of the synology. That's not to say I can't finaggle a Small Form Factor Box myself and install some of the other NVR software recommended.

     

    Thoughts. Suggestions ? IOS app for viewing is a +++

    I spoke to Axis. They advised me, any sensor will burned if not aimed correctly. Whether or not it is having sun pointed *into* it versus the camera being angled down.

     

    The primary differences on the exterior was housing, theft protection, cooling / heating (thus making the housing a bit larger as well). These were the primary differences.

     

    If it's a camera made exclusively for indoors, then you may burn out the sensor as there may not be UV protection. I've burned out an Axis indoor camera looking out a window in about 1 1/2 years. But during that time, the image quality was awesome.

    I am strictly buying the Synology to use as a NVR. The + side is formfactor to a degree.

     

    Care to shed some more light on other options.

     

    I strictly care about 1 thing only - Picture Quality.

     

    Someone tried breaking into my daily driver that I parked outside. The exterior of the house shows no signs of attempted intrusion. Home alarm has cellular radio, yadda, yadda. I plan to have 3-4 cameras at max. Whether I end up using indoor, outdoor or both - I will end up engaging my cabinetmaker or fabricator to make some sort of ~decorative housing~ to hide the cameras regardless.

    I was never a fan of CCTV for the home......

    We have a full blown alarm system, central monitoring, alerts on phones, etc.....

     

    I am planning to do 3367 cameras with a Synology unit.

    What's the point of having a system if it won't capture the details...

     

    How did I come to this combo. I've seen a couple of Synologys - and the software is more than sufficient for my needs.

     

    As far as camera's, I'm the type to buy once - cry one....and the Axis seemed like a good fit. Thoughts, suggestions...

    Actuallt our IP network is *one* but internal within the 3 sites.

     

    Analog/coax I'm open to as well.....but we're so ~IP~ centric.

     

    In a former job, we just logged into via *IP* to the client software that was connected to a DVR.

    The only ones I've used were a Honeywell as well as some local roll your own setup....with their rebranded version of CMS viewer

    Hello -

     

    I have 3 sites I want to monitor via IP.

    In theory, the 3 sites would have 2-3 cameras each.

     

    All of them would be sent to a DVR over IP.

     

    I don't have a issue with any hardware we need to build the DVR.

     

    We are a IT firm and have 3 facilities within the USA. I'd like to start monitor *our cages in our datacenters*. It will be nil to nary I would ever need the footage, but I'd like to have the ability to have it...

     

    Can anyone recommend various pricepoints on software options for the DVR. The one thing I do care is that the software is robust with decent GUI. Not a ~roll you own~ sort of software.
