    IP Camera Selection

    I have acquired some Veracity Highwire internet-over-coax devices to handle the distances, so I should be good on getting IP cameras to talk to the NVR.

    IP Camera Selection

    It's for multiple properties on a private road, at gates and various driveways. intersections and mail sheds. We have existing analog cameras using passive baluns; each camera's signal is sent via one pair of Cat 5 conductors (4 cameras per Cat 5 cable), and an ancient Bosch DVR (18 years old?)...

    IP Camera Selection

    We also need to view a combination of 4 cameras on each of three dedicated viewing monitors at separate locations. We could configure the NVR local display output to show the 4 cameras, and send the video output off to the three monitors. That would have to go over Cat5 or coax, since there is...

    IP Camera Selection

    I need up to eleven 4mp IP cameras with PoE, all wired (no wireless) and an NVR that I can access from Windows clients over the local network. They will be bullet cameras, mounted on 6x6 posts. And, they should be NDAA compliant. Fixed lens (28°) is OK, and I don't need PTZ. I looked at some on...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    For IP over coax, I found a Highwire 8 channel base unit on ebay for $80 with power supply, and two 4 channel PoE camera end units for about $50 each plus about $40 each for power supplies. Total was about $260 for $2000+ worth of gear if I bought it new. Since there is power at the camera ends...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    For the 800' run, there are at least 8 separate low voltage cables in a 2" conduit. I'd have to disconnect them on one end and pull them all out and re-pull the bundle in order to add anything into the conduit. For the 600' run, I'll have to investigate. It may have much smaller conduit for...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    I can get a slightly used HighWire 8 channel base unit for less than $100, and the four HighWire camera end units for $60 to $90 each. (A 4 channel base unit is all I need, but that's over $300.) ICRealtime 4MP IP Indoor/Outdoor Small Size Bullet. Fixed 2.8mmLens (102°) were about $200 each a...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    I presume the above wireless recommendations are for some sort of dedicated directional point to point signal transmission. I'm not a fan of wireless, and at least one family is very much against adding any more EMF to our crowded spectrum, even going so far as to revert to manually read...

    Analog upgrade to IP cameras with cable length/camera distance issues

    We have an existing 8 camera system with a DVR installed to cover multiple properties on acreage. Cameras are located many hundreds of feet apart from the DVR, and use passive baluns on each end to send each video signal over a single pair in underground CAT5 cables that carry multiple camera...

    Hi -- new member from Washington State

    Getting tired of our low resolution, flaky analog + DVR system, so I'll be looking to upgrade to IP cameras + NVR.
