    Deal on cable?

    Found solid copper cable at Fry's today for $99.00 for 100M. Micro Connectors, Inc. 100-Meter Augmented Cat 6A UTP 10GbE Bulk Cable - Blue (TR4-536T) Fry's is not the best place to find things, but if someone's used it I'd to know what you thought of it. Figured this might be good for the attic.

    Can you recommend a stateside Duhua vendor?

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    I easily accomplished this with a Linux box...but it's not an option at work. That being said, is there a $50 - $80 camera that can get the job done?

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    To clarify, it's one camera per Win 7 box per physical location....70 offices across the country.

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    That same sentiment is very prevalent in certain circles where I work...however, for this one, I'm not a chief, just an Indian...actually, I'm not in IT, I'm in Ops, so that make me more of a Cowboy. At the end of the day, I have to figure how to make it work. I have one computer where I can...

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    I am told that due to PCI compliance, we cannot setup the FTP server service. The cameras are a temporary stopgap until we get our network a little more locked down. I would consider using cameras with SD cards if the SD card could store 90 days worth of clips and pictures.

    Hikvision 2432 SMB/CIFS Setup

    Although it does not help my true task, I have successfully implemented sharing a Linux folder...it's been writing to it all day; however, I have 70 Win7 Pro boxes that need to receive files from a camera (LTS/Hikvision) to a folder share. On one machine, we can authenticate a SMB/CIFS test...

    Solving some NFS issues on Hikvision cameras

    Hi all. I just looked through this thread and cannot find a clear answer. Is there a way to setup a windows share to receive the files? We are unable to install Samba/Unix extensions on the Win7 Pro boxes. We can get the camera to speak to the windows share for a short time...and record...

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    Update: can format and initialize the shared folder, but it then returns to an uninitialized state. It seems to be able to read and write, but cannot maintain its connection to the share? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Write directly to Win 7 box

    I have to install 70 LTS 3022s (Hikvision). Each camera is in a different physical location. For our third party compliance obligations, we cannot use a software nor hardware based NVR. I need the cameras to write directly to a Windows share. The boxes are running Win 7 Pro. We cannot...

    Hikvision 2432 SMB/CIFS Setup

    I managed to get it to connect to a Samba network share and initialize, but now I cannot get events to trigger and record to the network share.

    Hikvision 2432 SMB/CIFS Setup

    I'm trying to setup a LTS CMIP8222 to write to a network share without using an NVR. When I tell it to format the share, it says "complete" but then the share is still uninitialized.

    Network "Re-Design"

    @nayr I have a 24 port D-Link gigabit un-managed switch, and a Verizon FIOS Router/AP (cannot be upgraded to DDWRT). I was planning on buying a dedicated AP and a bridge AP so that FIOS router can focus solely on serving the internet and routing. Do you have a recommendation on an AP? Should...

    Warning - Avoid Cantonk.com and Alex from Cantonk

    Latest message regarding the PT5AM22XH200 I ordered from Cantonk: "Hi, our camera is on production line now. Later there are 48 hours aging test and then QC for 1 day and package for 1 day." We are still on track from what she told me previously. I should have it 5-7 days after it ships.

    What dash cam are you using?

    If it has to removed every day, it will not get used by my household. I'll need a capacitor based, hardwired camera that can take a Texas August afternoon.

    Warning - Avoid Cantonk.com and Alex from Cantonk

    I just ordered the PT5AM22XH200 from Cantonk and worked via Skype with a lady named Seven. $105 camera, $50 Shipping, $6.20 PayPal. Apparently it has to manufactured first, then 5-7 days shipping. I'm told I'll have to pay a customs charge when it arrives. Can anyone advise about how much I...

    Does having the different manufacturer code signify anything?

    Any recommendations on quality crimps? I go cheap in lots of things, but I don't mind spending money on tools I'll use the rest of my life.

    Beginning my build out

    I was considering pre-made cables, but won't I have to cut them off anyways to connect to the patch panel? I've seen the Platinum EZX system in some reviews...have you ever experienced issues with the connectors not clipping into a switch or jack correctly?

    Purchase Protection

    I'm about to make my first camera purchase from China (Cantonk - yes, I know about the spam issue and are okay with it). They only take Payal. If I was able to use my credit card, I'd have protections. Is there any way to protect myself using PayPal? I'm told that I lose my consumer...
