    This guy is fantastic

    Just as a side note - I also do not curse. My family growing up did not curse. I have a 15 year old daughter that does not curse. It is a choice, it does not hurt my feelings and I don't run away crying when people curse around me but I find it useless myself. To me it shows either a weak...

    Any new exciting cameras coming form ISC-West?

    As the thread goes, what is the exciting stuff coming at ISC West this year? Anything new form Hikvision and Dahua? I can't attend myself but one of these days I really do have to get to one of these events. Need to be closer to me I guess, is there anything similar ever in the midwest...

    Recommended siren and light combo that I can trigger via alarm output on cam or NVR?

    Re: Recommended siren and light combo that I can trigger via alarm output on cam or N As a note I solved my issue with two separate products. I ended up using this siren, This is VERY loud and works extremely well. This is just a standard siren and light that I then had to find a device to...

    In the end though nothing I did would make these work. I went back the next day and tried again with my laptop and a POE injector. I tried the cameras directly connected, via the switch, via just the POE injector and my laptop connected directly to the camera with a 6ft cable while I was on a...

    Ok, so it is not like I've not setup 400 or so of these cameras now so I feel I know my way around pretty well. Yet here I sit stumped and ready to severely injure some Hik 3032 cameras...... I am installing 24 Hik cameras in both bullets and domes right now at a new site. I have about 16...

    Carl, the owner of Network Camera Critic, passed away

    Wow, extremely sad news for sure. I wish the best to the family, it sounds as if this was a major shock and out of the blue so I hope everyone handles this as best as can be expected. Sorry for your loss, he will be missed.

    Why do people use virtual servers / hypervisors?

    I have programs that were too large for one server, and even on the newer high end servers the software itself cannot handle the number of connections we need it to do. Then we end up with a VM1 and a VM2 with the databases split in two as the software cannot grow as big as we need it too! It...

    Ping Tracer - an internet connection monitoring tool

    Very cool tool thanks, though after you mentioned it I many end up with PingPlotter Pro just for the multi target tabs as I have need to ping several locations at once when I have issues. Appreciate your post on your solution though, it brought my need for a solution to the front of my mind...

    Why do people use virtual servers / hypervisors?

    In my environment it is much better to have virtual servers than full real boxes. I recently built three servers and two run at slightly less than half load. Then one one can fail and the other can take up the slack. I also have another server at a third location that is just a backup so so...

    CCTV Camera Tamper Proof Mounting Screws

    I agree, when I have lost bullet cameras it is because someone beat them to death with a stick or a 2x4. I've also had them cut the wire coming out of the bullet before, but only a couple of times as they usually cut it somewhere in the conduit run. Only once have I had cameras stolen, and I...

    Best NVR Software that money can buy?

    Yep, I can certainly assist anyone with Exacq questions for sure. I too would consider all three of those mentioned to be good solutions it just happened that Exacq met all my needs best. Avigilon would be my second choice and overall while Milestone may work for some I was not a fan overall...

    Effectiveness of footage leading to actual arrests, or any other camera sstories?

    I have had many, many arrests from our cameras. Footage is used at a minimum of a several times a week, almost daily, to answer some problem or question. Most recent arrest was last week. Some times the arrests happen that day, sometimes they do not know who it is at first and it takes a...

    24hr clinic ip cam monitoring

    I use several of the HDMI extenders and some VGA over cat5 video distribution devices myself and they have all worked great. The newer HDMI ones I've used most recently work better than the slightly older VGA technology ones I have in use. I run CAT6 directly for the extenders and they do...

    3MP @20fps recommendations

    I have used ACTi a lot (say 200 cameras) and would not recommend them. I have used Vivotek (maybe 50 of them) and they have been okay and I have no major complaints but they are expensive for not a whole lot of features and rare and buggy firmware updates. I have not used Geo-vision. I have...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    In my case I need a much more professional solution, all of my systems are remote and I pull all footage remotely. That is not easy with a basic NVR. I also want to be able to use a wide variety of cameras and use them all fully as far as features which requires better than an NVR. I need...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    Exactly, that is why I like the client server setup myself. Those machines I built above were not for video either, they were for AutoCAD and general day to day work computers. I just brought those up as they were right round the $1,000 mark you mentioned and I was saying those were massive...

    ISC and NAB shows coming up - free passes

    I can't go this time, but I do plan on going to one of the shows here soon so keep posing when you have stuff available as maybe I'll be able to take you up on it someday soon. I need a ton of info in the security space and a show would be a good place to quickly get some ideas on who does what...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    I just yesterday built a couple Intel 4790k machines for AutoCAD, which are i7 @ 4ghz with 16gb of DDR3 2400mhz ram, Samsung 850 SSD and high end power supplies and good Nvidia graphics cards for $1100. I guess you could cut out the k on the processor and the graphics cards are replace them...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    I like the software personally a lot, I am using it on over 80 servers and those have a total of over 1,000 cameras. I'm running video walls, using the web client and using a variety of hardware in computers and cameras and it works well. I use it at home. I have no major issues with it other...

    Server/Client Based Software Solutions

    I use Exacq, and for a basic "Start" system you pay $50 per camera and then $10 per camera per year for updates if you want them. (some sellers sell licenses for less than this but that is retail) It is the lowest resource user of any system I've ever tried. I'll attach a screen shot or two...
