    Powerline and POE injector built into one?

    I thought I saw a link here on one but for the life of me I can't find it now. I know there is a UK one but... My buddy bought an ebay brand but I'd rather avoid ebay. Newegg searching provided little. Sucks when you search for Powerline adapter you get one set of results. POE and Powerline...

    Besides the 1TB HD difference, is there anything else different comparing it to this? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8182797&Sku=

    Funny, today no sale but it is only $799! Seems like they were playing with the numbers.

    Ugh my DS-2CD2032-I got wet....

    Yep, lost the POE switch. Staples was nice enough to let me switch it out.

    Can the camera body's get wet? I know connectors wet are no, no.

    Ugh my DS-2CD2032-I got wet....

    Weatherproof you say, LOL! Ummm... yeah that didn't happen yet. It must be the router. I was able to plug power in the camera, move the CAT5 over to the non POE side and camera works fine.

    Ugh my DS-2CD2032-I got wet....

    ... well there was water inside the jack. Came home to no signal and no light on my POE router. Is it likely the router died or the camera? I dried the connector out for a bit, but the no light on the router concerns me.

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    Ugh.... where do set such settings. Any screen shots for optimal setup for these cams? I would think a sticky with a word doc would be so handy.

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    Wow that is a lot of CPU usage for a newer machine and only 6 cams. What happens if you go up to 30FPS and no direct to disc? Direct to disc did help bring down the CPU usage. No it's peaking at 65% usage for 1 cam, 30 FPS and direct to disc.

    It's this gateway I posted about awhile back: http://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php?1364-BI-and-this-PC-Gateway-SX2801-Am-I-scrapping-the-barrel-here Idle doing nothing, 49%. Hit record, ouch 100% pegged!

    Oh, Check out the CPU usage for just one camera 65%! I'm using RDP on my laptop from my couch watching TV and looks like MS downloads are in progress too. I'll let it settle and see if it calms back down.

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    Well my inner self told me to delete the camera, close BI and restart. Opened BI back up, did the same steps but this time the Inspect now picked up the correct camera. Success! Thanks for all the help, LOL!

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    Ok, So I can see the image view the Hikvision SW on the camera itself. I matched USR/PWD on both, still no go. At least the camera is working.

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    I went to my IP with my web browser and the camera popped up asking for USR/PWD. Do these two need too match? I must have missed some setup instructions somewhere? Is that what the IVMS Setup SW is for? Is there a Hikvision for dummies guide?

    I'm so LOST! DS-2CD2032-I First Time setup NO Signal

    So I ran the SADP and have my IP and port. Put them in the add camera screen, select Hikvision and go nothing. If I do run "Inspect Now" it changes the Camera settings to RTSP H.264/MJPG/MPEG4 and still does nothing. Is there a router setting I need to check? I'm so far in foul territory...

    Got it! Thanks FM!

    Finally got my camera in....

    .. and installed BI a few weeks ago. Of course my trial is expired. Can I simply reinstall BI to try this camera and computer I was thinking about using? I don't want to spend the money on BI and install on this machine until I'm certain it will even carry a half way decent image quality.

    Thanks fenderman. I went ahead and picked up a DS-2CD2032-I from aliexpress. Seems to be the highly recommended camera.

    hmmm.... on the box in the store it says POE. I wonder why it's not on their site. I wonder if I open it I can return it!

    Wow, got the trial version going with just my simple Logitech Webcam C110 and CPU is running at 30%. Doesn't make any difference if I have direct to disc recording. I do have the frame rate set to 30 though. Software does not seem to hard. Just hard figuring where each setting is. Oh and...

    Need help with system

    Thanks for the explanation. You would think if the PIR is that much better, it would justify the cost in inclusion of the design in more cameras. Or in this instance your saying the pixel detection used in BI which should work well is not because of the age of the PC?

    Need help with system

    Noob question, fenderman, BI does control motion though using the IR sensors built in correct, but are there certain kikvision cameras with built in PIR that would work better with BI?

    HikVision 7608NI/SE died... and then replacement unit also dies!

    This is pretty scary from a manufacturer. I guess they use the public as the testers. So much for Quality Control, yikes!
