Hey everyone, I currently have a POE switch and a D12 and don't have the slightest clue how to even connect to the camera itself. Are there any links I can read or anyone have an idea? I can see the camera light up but I can't get it to connect to my computer and the IP address doesn't pull anything up. Thanks

Can I simply use an off-brand ebay POE injector to power my D12? I read somewhere that I need a class 0 POE. Could I use something like this to power up the D12? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-over-Ethernet-PoE-Adapter-Injector-Splitter-Kit-/160676759546?pt=US_Server_Power_Supplies&hash=item256914c7fa&_uhb=1 Or will that burn it out? Thanks.

Can I use an IP55 camera for outdoor use? It would be exposed to both sunlight and rain. Thanks!

This is a newbie question. Will the Night module show color during the day or is it purely a B/W only function? If I wanted a combination of both Night and Day with more emphasis on the Night, is there a color solution possible? This is for the D12. Thanks! I will have a light source pointing in front of my garage. Should I get both one night AND one day sensor? And if I get the night sensor module, will I need an IR light source or will low light be enough?

Hey guys, for some reason I can't figure out how to post on the classified section so I'm posting my request here. Anyone know any installers in Houston that you would recommend? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I currently have a Samsung 2220N system (not installed) and I'm not happy about the quality of the pictures so I decided I should pony up and purchased something better. I currently live in a 3 story townhome and would like to try to install it myself. I would like to get about 4 cameras with better resolution. The samsung system states that the cameras have 600TVL but the night quality is horrendous. I was thinking about looking into some IP systems as wiring an analogue system seems pretty hard, especially in certain areas in my townhome. So here are some questions I have for you guys: 1. Assuming I purchase an IP system, can the cameras be powered via a router that has a bridge to the original internet modem? I was thinking I'd need to buy about 3 routers if I wanted to minimize running wires and cutting drywall. 2. Does my internet bandwith only come into play when I want the videos to be streamed? Shouldn't a wireless intranet have sufficient bandwith to send to the main DVR? 3. Instead of just purchasing an entire new system, can I somehow use my Samsung DVR to make a hybrid IP/Analogue system with better cameras or is that not feasible? 4. Would it be cheaper for me to buy the entire DVR and cameras on my own and then pay someone to install the cameras in the hard to reach areas or is it cheaper just to pay someone for both the install and system (wholesale prices for the professional)? 5. How much would it cost to install per camera through brick veneer? I live in Houston, TX. I'm assuming that I can set up the software/system myself and that I'll just need help running some Cat5 through walls. I'm assuming I'll have to pony up at least $1500 for a decent set up with 4 cameras? I would like to get 720p quality minimum. Thanks!
