    Greetings gents! Last year i put a few zumimall wifi cams out in the field. I basically hunted from my kitchen.

    Replace several NVRs with one NVR?

The indoor cams are the DS-2CD2347G2-LU turret style models. The outdoor cams are hikvision bullet style with IR (not sure of the model). I believe they...

    Question regarding setting up a POE system

    @mat200 Good to know that Hikvison is highly regarded. Most of my experience so far has been with Hik/ LTS. Based upon what I've seen in the field so far I've assumed that this is somewhat the standard. I've established a relationship with LTS and they have been great.
