I have two of these things at my house that I have not really had a chance to play with yet. It seems to me that this could be a decent way to do a "spot" monitor for an IP system. Has anyone tried it?

What are the port numbers you are trying to open? Have you checked to see if they are on the reserved ports list? It is a rather long list: http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xhtml

You need to be using your public IP address to access the route from outside your network. The address you posted is your internal IP that is issued by the router. The address you are looking for is the one your ISP gives to you and the IP that is seen as you by the rest of the world. Here is the graphic I share with people when the topic comes up (do a search, it comes up a LOT!)

Welcome

Keeping it under the eave will protect it from weather a bit (and give it shade/ cooling) but you have to consider maintenance concerns for the future also. Do you have a ladder that can reach this spot?

Welcome

I don't think a maglock would work, and actually I bet you don't need it at all. You just need two relays. One that turns off the motion sensor and a second to trigger the doors to open. The card swipe would trigger the second relay, and the first relay could be controlled with a simple timer. I would actually go one step farther and make sure the timer is networked so that you can keep the time from floating with NTP. On top of that, you may want to have a switch at the front desk to trigger the doors for fire or EMT purposes. I don't know, that might be overkill, but it is worth seeing if the owners want that option. Oh, and make damn sure your relay timer has a battery backup!

Well are these analog cameras or IP cameras? If they are analog, you will need a capture card and the hardware to go with it. If they are IP, you just need a VMS that can handle your brand of camera and then a switch to get everything all together network wise. Probably a POE switch, but again it depends on what cameras you have. Pictures of your cameras could help us to help you.

Anything from Meanwell or Altronix will be just fine.

You can use a device like this to utilize the RG-6 in your barn, and it will go MUCH farther than 300 feet. With these in place you can use any IP camera on the market that uses 802.3af POE. http://www.nvt.com/content.php?type=product&key=ec1701kit4&cid=root They have individual and 2 camera kits as well, and all of their gear is lifetime warranty. Here is a second company that makes equally good gear for slightly cheaper. http://www.vigitron.com/95/Vi2404A_MaxiiCopper_4_port_High_Speed_Ethernet_Extenders_over_Coax.aspx

I think the assumption that their cameras were just hung willy-nilly is a bit presumptive. I don't know the details you are referring to, but if these cameras were meant for traffic control purposes it is 100% feasible that the fields of view are intentionally tight. Also, I have NO idea what the CCTV laws are in France so perhaps they are limited by legislation?

What is your definition of too expensive?

If it is USB, did it come with a video driver or something?

The 1422 is your matrix switch and I think 1400 is there as a "translator" to send the 485 signal out to what I am guessing is a non-Vicon camera. It depends on how many views they need as to whether or not they are required or not.

Welcome

easiest way to do that would be with a VLAN http://louwrentius.com/example-of-a-home-networking-setup-with-vlans.html

1000 yards can be accomplished with IR, but it is certainly not cheap. The one I have used in the past is this one, and it does the job without doubt but you certainly get what you pay for here. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1046791-REG/axton_180xs2810_xlr_series_at_180x_s_10_deg.html

I'm sorry I don't really have time to be your personal shopper.

That 28AWG stuff is generally TERRIBLE wire! The twists are all wrong and the wire is super low quality. Tomcctv is probably right that a 50 run will be ok, but if it were me I would go find some higher quality stuff that is 24AWG.

Hang on a second, what port did you assign to your DVR? Kevin is right port 80 will not work on both, but I am guessing that your router would have given you an error message had you tried to use the same port to point at two locations. Some DVR's have multiple ports and they are named in a weird way. I have seen some that have a media port, a web port and another that is called all kinds of things (remote, support, alternate, etc.)

Have you checked for a firmware update that might have fixed this issue?

I think I would put 4 total cameras up if it were me. The one down the side of the house would need to be varifocal for sure to tweak it down to exactly what you are comfortable with. The other cameras would all be pretty wide shots. You easily could narrow those views if you don't want to record the street. This is kinda of what I was thinking.

Excellent advice all around! " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" />

Howdy!

If the NVR has a built in POE switch you can record directly to an NVR. Otherwise you may need a switch or POE injector to provide power to the camera and then a cable from the switch to the NVR would provide the connections for ALL the camera connected to that switch. Routers are used to connect (and route between) multiple networks. At home what that means is routing between your home (internal) network and the larger (external) public network that your ISP provides to you.
