    I have been looking for IP cameras with audio input. I have some microphones I used on an analog system that had a audio input for each camera and they have a good range. The ones I seem to find are either expensive and more camera than I need or cheap or indoor spy cameras. I am looking for a simple bullet camera or possible dome. I have been using the Dahua or SavvyPixel cameras which I think our knock offs of Dahua.

     

    I bought this camera from eBay straight from China. It does exactly what I want, but would prefer a higher resolution than 2MP and a little better camera preferably in a 3-4MP. The SW on the camera is basic but works, the video seems ok, but I have not mounted it yet, as it is just being test right now.

    It is on private property, so I am not concerned with the audio recording laws.

     

    Any thought or cameras that people have used would be helpful, thanks.

     

    Thanks for asking this question.

    Will this camera's software conflict with the NVR's?.... i.e. Swann, Lorex, or whichever else...?

    Following along....

    You have shown the world your position, intelligence, & attitude and hypothetical stature. There is only one meaningless thing that you can brag about the length of. But based upon your communication style and the above listed items, there isn't a question. Everyone can see your style and easily make a conclusion.

     

     

    Stay away Tom.....

     

    You have clearly displayed your worth and value.

    As you try to add internet value, I laugh as I say good luck with your "authorised dealer. Lorex are part of flir who are dahua partners."

     

    Crayon packers typically embellish their position, too.

    Listen it's simple .....

     

    IP camera with audio input....... That input is a RCA plug

     

    Your mic has a RCA plug ........PLUG THEM TOGETHER

     

    IT IS THAT SIMPLE

     

     

    BUT since you would rarther argue than understanding ..... Then keep it up.

     

     

    You post a problem you get a answer .... Yet it's not good enough for you.

     

    Here is a picture ....... If you still have a problem post back and I will draw one with a crayon for you.

     

    You will need to extend the RCA cable the 30m to your mic location

     

    Your insertion of attempted belittling remarks, is really sad. The only thing that you are missing is how a lot of lower intelligence crowds start their sentences with "Boy,......"

     

    As for simplicity...... your link to a pic would have made this a lot more simple, if you could have done that on your first reply versus all of the meaningless and fruitless replies.

     

    The pic displays a product that is possibly available, and might help me solve this issue. (where's the link, or what is the adapter called?) I wasn't born with the "Be All end All knowledge" that you portray to possess.

     

    But, like a lot of internet boards, the faster that you get to 10,000 posts, the more valuable the insecure/incompetent become.

     

    As for arguing...... I just want some info to solve the current problems..... without short, sharp, and meaningless broken sentences, that come from bad attitude "KnowItAlls." If that is beyond your abilities, there are plenty of other places for passive aggressive, low intelligence display of belittling insult attempts.

     

    Crayons?..... It is typically the user of crayons, who constantly need to be reminded of their purpose and direction......

     

    hence,.....

     

    To remind you, I posted a question, a lot of people viewed, but nobody answered. So, as I asked in post number 4.... "Anybody?" you replied, but just randomly pecked at the keyboard, versus providing something useful.

     

    It is not as simple as you claim.... "You post a problem you get a answer .... Yet it's not good enough for you."

     

    As for "It's not good enough....." You are right. It isn't good enough to skin a cat in only one specific way. Especially, when "there are a thousand ways to skin a cat."

     

    I suspect that a programming change will turn on the RCAs (that are on the back of the machine, along with the Audio cables already ran to it) and allow me to record based upon Motion Detection on whichever camera that I choose.

     

    Realistically, the technology that I am requesting/searching isn't an equivalent to RocketScience..... but there seems to be a lot of Sheeples that push for only one direction.

     

    Are you in Bed with Lorex?

     

    Will it sink into your head if I imply that a Crayon will interact with your mentality?

     

    Stay away, Tom. You truly have wasted my time.

    you need an encoder. That will take your signal from analog to IP several mfg make them. You might have to get a brand specific model. Depending on the cost of the encoder it may be cheaper to just replace the one analog camera

     

     

    Thanks for giving me some info that helps with my understanding.

     

    I would like to use this camera, since it is already paid for.

     

    https://www.lorextechnology.com/site/LBV2531-Series-1-p?skuId=sku1590029

     

    And use it near a remotely located router and then have the signal sent to the NVR. I'd be willing to hard wire it to an Ethernet cable, if the communication would/could happen.

     

    So if I understand correctly, you are suggesting an encoder, which will make the communication happen?

     

    Do you have any preferred manufacturers? I have found a few complaints on how Lorex uses a lot of proprietary means.

     

    This is the NVR that I have....

    I have the headache, thanks for nothing.

     

    You have been given the basic answer and the way of doing what you ask.

     

    So if you think the advise was nothing ... then there is no helping you.

     

    It's simple yet you don't understand

     

    You are right. I don't understand, which is the motivation for joining this forum and asking questions. AND, the internet is full of

    the basic answer and the way of doing what you ask.
    but that isn't enough.

     

     

    As for your answers, at least with my topics, they have been very short and lacking description, or anything else that will cure my "Headache" causing ways.

     

    Remember, and look through your posts......

     

    I'm sure that you could tell me with broken and short sentences, how it is to be born with "Be All End All" knowledge.

    Thanks for the reply, but to restate what I am trying to accomplish here......

     

    IP cameras to a IP NVR.....

     

    and

     

    I have one extra BNC camera that I need some sort of adapter, to hook up to my Ethernet cables and then to my NVR.

     

    I thanked the OP for stating the wiring colors and functions, and hoped that this will start my process.

     

    Can you produce a useful link?

    Hi. You need a IP cameras with audio input. Something like a dahua.

     

    Then just connect your RCA jack to it.

     

     

     

    Hello All,

    After a little reading, I still can't find an answer. I am hoping that the experts on this board can help............

    It took 4 hours and 45 minutes (on the Phone) to have them refer to an updated version of the owners manual, that said it needed an IP camera Microphone.

     

    I am hoping that someone here can help me use the RCA microphone (which is installed and working, but not hooked up) The mic is installed where the action happens, but the camera location is 30 feet behind the action, so a microphone integrated camera wouldn't work well.

    ............Thanks....

     

     

    Thanks for the reply, but the original topic post stated as to why I am looking for something else. I have cut out the extra, from the quote.

    I'm told that FLIR makes Lorex, .....................

    .......

    The solution is to cut off the RJ45 jack. If you plan on using POE, there is no reason to keep the 12 volt barrel connector, so both can be cut off at the Y, leaving only one jacketed cable. If it was possible to install an RJ45 male or female connector, the following connections would be made. Since there are only six conductors from the camera, some pins on the RJ45 would have to be jumped. This is not practical, but if a male or female RJ45. There will be four wires left over, they can be clipped off, unless one wishes to provide 12 VDC to the camera instead of POE.

     

    Pin Color

    1 Brown

    2 Violet

    3 Orange

    4 Yellow

    5 Yellow (jumped to above)

    6 Blue

    7 Grey

    8 Grey (jumped to above)

    By making all of the connections, there will be sufficient lines for data connections and for the POE to negotiate. If for some reason, one wishes to provide electricity to the camera using 12 VDC, red and green are positive 12 volts and the black and white are the common or minus 12 VDC.

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Thanks for the description. This will help, as I am trying to find a way to get my BNC camera hooked up to my PoE ethernet cables.

     

    I am also trying to get the RCA plugs (on the back of the NVR) to accept audio from a functioning microphone. Do you have any ideas for that?

     

    Thanks..

    No this will not help you at all. .... This is for IP cameras ONLY.

     

    Are you offering suggestions as to what will work?

    Hello All,

    After a little reading, I still can't find an answer. I am hoping that the experts on this board can help................... zero empathy.

     

     

    Can anyone help with a homemade RCA to ethernet adapter for the sound? (I can solder and assemble) or some other way to get this to work....?

     

    I'm still within a return period, so advice towards a better system with similar or more cabable features would be great, too.

     

    Thanks....

     

    Anyone?.... Links? Ideas?....

    Hi All,

     

    I am totally new to security cameras but need to set something up for garage / backyard as well as house / front porch.

     

    My 16 x 18 garage is on an alley and our privacy-fenced backyard is small. Maybe 40' from alley gate to back porch. I want to put a camera inside the garage, then have three more outside: two facing down the alley left and right, and the third facing towards the back porch. I also will have a second system with cameras inside the house at front and back doors, as well as outside at front porch and side walkways. But this post is more about the garage setup.

     

    The garage is wired for power, but not for phone or cat 5. So I was wondering if I could set up my system with an NVR and four PoE cameras and then connect the system to the Verizon FiOS router in the house with Zyxel ethernet-over-power adapters.

     

    At this point I am still looking at systems, so I might post some other messages relating to actual component combinations as well as in-house system setup, but first I wanted to ask this question about getting the data from the garage back to the house. It's too far for reliable WiFi, so I thought about the Zyxel solution since I already have the adaptors and they work really well for regular data around the house.

     

    Thanks in advance,

     

    Eric

     

     

    I don't have all of your answers, but do have a few suggestions concerning your topics.

     

    While adding cameras, I suggest adding one inside the garage, too. If the day ever comes for you to sell your home, there are a ShLoad of crooked realtors who will bring in their family/friends as potential buyers, but once inside of the garage, they'll steal from your toolbox, plus adjust your garage door over-travel, so that upon the buyers inspection, the garage door opener breaks. Conveniently, they have a quick reply of "I've got a guy who can take care of that....it's just $500.." Even though,the door opener has worked perfectly for it's whole life. The camera mounted above my outside A/C unit, prevented the same crooks form "venting the refrigerant." They bent over and started to unscrew the fill caps, then noticed the camera and walked away.

     

    As for wiring..... it really isn't difficult to run new wires in your garage. Plus, if it takes longer than expected,.... its the garage, not the front room. I personally prefer wires because it take a lot more effort to cause interference on a wired system versus a wireless system. I have my cameras wired, and recording, but the viewing display is wireless and also, via a HDMI cable.

     

    As for the Cel Phone routers....I strongly am against them. The one that I once had, used my internet service, (that I paid for) to make the Cel Phone company's service (which I also paid for) better for everyone else....meaning others who where on the same cel network, but not contribute to my power bill nor my internet bill.

     

    I don't know anything about the Zyxel solution.

     

    Good luck, I hope that I helped...

    I am trying to figure out a way to add an NAS device to my CCTV system... I want to use a hidden remote storage for security reasons (concern about the NVR being taken)

     

    I bought http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-HD-IP-NVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-3MP-Cameras-with-130'-Night-Vision.product.100290772.html

     

    the NVR is Lorex (Dahua based): LNR1182 with 8 3MP cams. The system works just fine. What I want to do is to add an NAS (Network Attached Storage) and have video recording back-ups.

     

    I want to keep the NVR in place as-is and just to add an NAS. I am thinking to have the NAS in a different room in case someone steals the NVR... I really fear the scenario that somebody steals the NVR - it is not possible for me to secure the NVR better or hide it somehow...

     

    What are the options to achieve this? I am new to this and I am learning. Any advice would be greatly helpful.

     

    Thank you guys.

     

    Great questions.... following along...

    Hello All,

    After a little reading, I still can't find an answer. I am hoping that the experts on this board can help.

     

    I recently purchased a Lorex LNR400 with Ethernet cameras. I wish that I would have researched a little more prior to purchasing.

     

    One of the main attractions to the machine was the Audio In (RCAs) and Audio Out that was displayed in the sales pics.

     

    Of course after spending more than expected, plus the customer service people at Lorex, accurately living up to most of the bad performance claims, they tell me that "the RCA ports don't work." After challenging them on their answer, and how the RCA's were a motivation for purchase, they then change it to "the RCAs are for Diagnostic only." After challenging them again, their answer was "it is illegal to record someone without their consent." I reminded them that It wasn't illegal in my state, nor private property.

     

    It took 4 hours and 45 minutes (on the Phone) to have them refer to an updated version of the owners manual, that said it needed an IP camera Microphone.

     

    I am hoping that someone here can help me use the RCA microphone (which is installed and working, but not hooked up) The mic is installed where the action happens, but the camera location is 30 feet behind the action, so a microphone integrated camera wouldn't work well.

     

    The LNR400 has something that makes me suspect the a software change and the audio could be clicked and turned on, but the Lorex Phone Techs, could care less and have zero empathy.

     

     

    Can anyone help with a homemade RCA to ethernet adapter for the sound? (I can solder and assemble) or some other way to get this to work....?

     

    I'm still within a return period, so advice towards a better system with similar or more cabable features would be great, too.

     

    Thanks....
