    Given a same CCTV, can you have a camera frame rate of 8-12 fps and a video capture of 30fps, I mean, why does they have a different fps since they are just the same camera? Please help, I badly need to figure this out.

    HUH? Please explain your question...what system are you using? where are you seeing 8-12fps and then 30?

    That system is way overpriced...This swann system is a rebranded hikvision and is very good...you will be able to add hikvision cameras to it at a later date.

    You are correct about mixing and matching...however if you stick with one manufacturer you can mix and match their various cams...look at hikvision or dahua..

    With costco, you can always return it if you dont like it...

    DO NOT RUN CCA...its will/can cause all sorts of problems...aside from it being brittle you may drop packets (not a huge issue on a pc, but on for cams it is) and have issues with POE on long runs..the extra cost is insignificant...for that matter if your are running new cable run cat6...get it from monoprice or cable matters on amazon.

    If this is what you are referring to...its a good system.

    They are rebranded hikvision cameras and NVR...

    If by rotate you mean pan tilt zoom you are talking 600-2000 per camera depending on the features..remember you cannot just mix and match cameras and NVR's..

    You will not be able to use your tv to bring a camera to full screen unless you figure out a way to remotely control your nvr or use an android stick with an app to view cams on the tv...If you want to just change to a channel without having to change the input you will need an rf modulator and will loose image quality...my advice is to keep reading so you learn more before you buy

    I just bought this IP system

     

    http://www.q-see.com/eight-channel-1080p-nvr-with-six-1080p-cameras-and-2tb-hdd-qc858-6p4-2/

     

    My concern is will this slow down my network internet speeds? I currently have a DVR system that doesn't require a router connection to view and record locally. Will this system have the same capability? I'm thinking no, given that the home ISP router is going to assign addresses to each individual camera, and manage them.

     

    So, with my limited knowledge of routers and switches, should I buy another router to manage this on an "offline" network? With the ability to connect to the internet when I'm not home to remote view? I don't need remote view when I'm home, and would just need the NVR to record. Even when not remote viewing, will this still depress bandwidth on my network?

     

    Thanks all.

    if you homerun to the NVR or a switch attached to the nvr, i dont think that the data passes through the router unless viewing on another network device or remotely.....regardless even if it did you would not even come close to saturating a 10/100 network....not to mention a gigabit connection...you are fine...

    I disagree, the budget is overkill....install a hikvision camera at each house with a 64gb sd card....the new 3mp with 80m ir and sd card http://www.hikvision.com/UploadFile/image/2014101311390770075.pdf

    http://www.aliexpress.com/item/new-2014-Original-HIKVISION-3MP-IR-Mini-EXIR-Bullet-Outdoor-Network-Camera-waterproof-infrared-80M-support/32224546393.html You need to confirm sd card option (its in the spec sheet but not in the details here)

    Total cost for 8 cams is just over 1k....the its all about running the cable and mounting...

    you can stream each cam over the internet to an nvr if you wish but its probably not needed 64gb will give you two or 3 days...if you want to use an nvr add a couple hundred....

     

    How do you suggest he run cat6 cables from each house to one NVR for streaming? I guess wireless cams would work if he can get them all to connect to one network (can use additional routers as bridges as well).

    Im going to assume that each house has internet...one camera streaming over the net is no big deal...but with cards in each cam he probably wont even need to do that...

    Wireless cams are a horrible idea...

    1) forget about wifi

    2) you wont capture anything useful with cameras mounted high up in the attic also you cannot have ir pass though the attic window...you will either need to have external ir or better yet mount the camera outside like its supposed to be..

    3) You are probably best off storing locally to SD cards in each camera

    they have them, they are called encoders and are expensive at least 80 each..you are WAY better off running Ethernet and installing an ip camera like the hikvision 2032 for 85 dollars on ali express some price..but much better image

    That was a good price for that install.

    Here is a good example make sure to change to quality to 720p

    Analog is run over coax cable while ip uses ethernet cable. (in general). Ip cameras transfer data over a computer network.

    Now you can get 1080p using coax but it requires specialized system and you are limited to special DVR's and cameras (sdi or similar technology) but ip cameras can easily do 1080p, 3mp or even more...The quality difference is substantial.

    Here is a sample of a 3mp hikvision that can be purchased for about 85 dollars on aliexpress

    make sure to change the setting to the highest resolution otherwise it will default to 480p

    These are the cameras that I have set up with a 8 camera system. I was told by the person who did my install that these were good quality cameras. Does any one have any experience with these or can anyone interpet the specs to say of these are low quality, average quality, or high quality?

    http://www.unixcctv.com/_e/EYEBALL_IR_Camera/product/IB6325/EYEBALL_700TVL_960H_IR_Metal_Dome_Camera_w_Fixed_Lens.htm

    The link doesnt work...i think this is the cam http://www.ebay.com/itm/EYEMAX-IB-6325-Dome-Security-Camera-700-TVL-24-IR-LED-SONY-EFFIO-E-DSP-2-9mm-/110854568971

    Specs are often meaningless..how is the picture? Im guessing you dont like the quality....How much was the install?

    On a new install you should have gone with ip cameras...not analog...

    CRD, Since you are getting good images from the second camera...look at the foam ring around the lens and make sure its flush with the dome.

     

    Read the link [MOD; removed external forum link and added link here]

    http://oversea-download.hikvision.com/uploadfile/doc/20140804/Technical%20Bulletin%20DS-2CD21x2-I%20Dome%20Camera%20IR%20Leakage%20v1.1.pdf

     

    Ir could also be reflecting from the soffit above the camera...although its doesnt seem to be causing an issue with the good camera.

    Thanks for the link again.

     

    Upon further research, I've decided on the HikVision from Aliexpress.

     

    http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/HIKVISION-DS-2CD2732F-I-S-New-High-Quality-varifocal-lense-30-meters-3MP-IR-dome-network/638300_1397052579.html

     

    Pretty feature rich dome that fits my bill.

    Its a nice camera...when you install it make sure that the lens is clean inside and out and that there is nothing near the IR that will cause ir reflection (or fog)...make sure the foam gasket around sits flush with the dome cover so that it prevents ir bleed.

    I am using the public address.

    I am able to access it using web browser, even from external network.

    But when i use the program iVMS-4000 it just can't connect. I tried both ports 81 and 554.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I believe ivms requires port 8000 to be forwarded as well...actually it doesnt even need the http port...check the manual for the "media port" it should be 8000 by default...

    You didnt say how you fixed the damaged cable...regardless you issue is most likely related to a using a coupler or even the jelly...when working at the fringes of specs you need a single run cable...and as others have mentioned preferably cat6. Also ensure the cable you are using is solid copper not CCA or copper clad aluminum.
