    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    BI5 is good up to 64 cams right? I have a older Dell 7050 with an I7 I could bring in and use dedicated for cctv. Just get a poe switch and then I would also have the flexibility to use just about any camera I want. I'm sure they'd buy a machine but I'd rather put that money into cameras.

    NVR for Small Office, this my best bet?

    Yeah I'd use bi but being in an office setting I think I'd rather use an nvr. The 24 poe and 32 non poe have similar bandwidth limits but that should be fine. Being in an office setting I could do 4mp at the doors zoomed in and the open areas 2.8 8mp. Zero night is needed because it's in an...

    bidens incredible transition to electric cars

    Well it took me dozens of times driving to and from work to remember to record driving past the Ultium Cells manufacturing plant under construction that I posted the drone shots of several pages back. I'm going about 60 here and it still takes me just short of a minute to drive past it. It's...

    Pre Wire for a friend

    Big update, actually mounted a few. Unfortunately I only had a few hours today. I was pleasantly surprised that the new mount bases are similar to that one above. Having installed residential and commercial cctv for a few years these were by far the best mount system I've seen. It had a base...

    Auto Tracking PTZ for Lorex NVR

    Hey Yall, I posted awhile back over in installs that I convinced a buddy to allow me to prewire. Luckily he did and we wired for 16 IP Cameras. 16! lol He doesn't live close, so I didn't go the BI and Empire route like I would have preferred. He bought a Lorex kit. I'm just happy he did ANYTHING...

    Firefighters Versus A Locked Gate

    Interesting stuff, surely that is not a private road that they went through. Pretty serious pre planning when they could just use google maps for measuring distances like that. ( Thats we use, it's easier and less labor. ) We carry 1,000 ft of supply hose. But, so do our other units so if...

    Cable running ideas

    Yeah I thought op was in the US so that's why I mentioned that. It's national standard to have the air gap cold or hot climate here. I'm beating a dead horse though. Look forward to seeing what the op does!!

    Cable running ideas

    Ours is a little different in the usa here. Between the brick and the wood sheathing should be a one inch air gap. Not filled to allow moisture to weep and dry.

    ^^ Ooo, Smart Idea I hadn't even considered. See what wiring the house already has and see if you can take advantage of that. If there is a room near by that has wire ran already
