    NVR IVS and Camera SMD: adding a siren to each camera

    Your nvr is capable, you’d have to run an extra pair with an additional psu. I’d also make separate additional ivs rules for night or whenever you’re not going to be there to trigger horn/light.

    Need help with new networks install.

    I’d just run the fiber if not just for bandwidth but also if lighting struck the shop. And if this is just their man cave and not a commercial business with employees and clients accessing the network I wouldn’t bother with further complicating the network. I’d also consider the length of the...

    Andy's IPC-T54IR-ZE-S3

    Op might be referring to US dahua model numbers. It’s always been a pain trying to compare cams and nvrs with all the ones everyone here uses; Andy’s dahua numbers are completely different from US for the exact same hardware.

    Long range transmission on HIKVISION DS-3E1106P-EI/M 4 POE Switch

    If you have a non ptz cam try it out there. Your ptz is probably needing to much power for that distance without having that extender in the middle. And I’m not sure about Hik but dahua has their Epoe that requires both epoe port on nvr/switch and, epoe camera. But I’m not sure they have a epoe ptz.

    Lake House Install (Camera Placement) — Help!

    I’d consider IR illuminators away from cameras. Whether you go onboard IR or led you’re going to attract every insect around giving lots of falses.

    Indoor Concealed Camera Recommendations

    Well Hikvision has an ip one for about $140 DS-2CD2D25G1-D/NF Sperry West has several from clocks to smoke detectors from $2-500 range. Speco and Dahua have pinhole ip/poe ones, dahua is about $350. Keep in mind the legality's and your state laws of “reasonable expectation of privacy”

    Hikvision door bell camera

    Well I don’t know what your budget is but you’d probably be happier with something that is meant to do that. Tablets always seem to need restarting or at least relaunching the app after timeouts. Hiks video monitor is a 7” display with WiFi and 12vdv as well as poe for $350 DS-KH8350-WTE1

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Never even adjusted that one, just threw it up with factory settings.

    Warm LED Camera Light

    Not a real fair comparison because the pic with snow not only has the light on but the snow and almost full moon to reflect light. Other pic was from a week and a half ago.

    Power Requirements for Dahua DVR, Cameras, and HDD. Are My Calculations Correct?

    It’d be pretty cool if you had a upc that could communicate with a nvr and drop a second drive, an ssd, and only use that while running on bbu at a third the draw of primary hdd.

    Use Hikvision Acusense with Dahua NVR

    Not happening. You can use AI by recorder if you get a high end model nvr for IVS features, but you’ll have to plug the cameras into a poe switch.

    Luminys vs EmpireTech?

    It found it, and initialized it just fine. All the ivs functions were there.
