    New Lorex system at Costco - What do you guys think?

    My local costco has this kit on sale for 699. Curious about it as well, just to be curious. I need a 16ch so I won't buy it but still interesting to see what the big box stores are selling. Heres the box numbers and stuff if anyone needed it. This is southeast USA.

    Help choosing kit for low price customers

    Yes. True. 100% If theyll buy the ip stuff great. Id rather them get on here, learn and buy from Andy or the ipcamtalk store. But people hiring him aren't ever going to. Ever. If theyll spring for the IP stuff great. Op question seemed to be about customer service so i chimed in. These are LOW...

    Help choosing kit for low price customers

    The company I worked for 4yrs installed Alibi. I will say, support was always 100%. They'd 2day ship everything, overnight stuff when needed and support wise were always there when we called regarding issues, features, tech help, networking issues etc.. Even complaining about designs and...

    installed by a alarm comany

    Wow that's a hack job.... We never take payment until the job is complete and the client is happy. She never should have paid upfront. Dusty old hardware? wow. Everything about what he's done is a joke. Sorry she went through this but yes small claims court is worth it. My boss took a guy to...

    Boop by the mail lady

    Camera is a shit 5-50 about 75% zoomed. 12fps. Aside from that, mail lady boops the trash can because it's in the way. No damage but glad she didn't break an $80 trash can. Distance from camera to Mailbox 120 ft And the trash guy who didn't intentionally put it there.

    New Dahua install

    Interesting. Here, public property is free to be filmed and if you're on public property you are also free to be filmed. Even more, if you're standing on public property you can film anything/anyone you see from there. You could stand on the street and film someone in their yard... Not sure...

    Arlo outdoor cam deters vandals

    If they'll allow the arlo camera, I don't see why a good camera couldn't replace it. ;) Get a small 4ch poe NVR and a good camera and see if they notice. Andy from Empire tech has a store on ali and amazon. Depends how far your wanting to take this. As far as attachment, If it's brick exterior...

    Lorex LNB8105X Talk audio

    Ever get any samples? I have a neighbor interested and if he bites I've convinced him to also buy a 5-50 for a vehicle identification cam to our neighborhood entry/exit. Regardless theres other options, I'm just trying to feel this kit out.

    Witch takes all the candy

    Figures a witch and her two kids or siblings would take all the candy... Her shiny nice watch tells me it's the parent. Don't kill me. Obviously the camera is too high and useless. I set this cam here as a temp halloween camera. It's usually further down the deck getting an "Overall Coverage"...

    Cabinet Installed for large home install, Plus prewire pics

    The TV box's will all be "wireless" and there won't be cinema type audio in every bedroom. There's a theater room for that. Still, we ran stuff to every port in case it wasn't wireless. If the multiple ports arent enough, theres always the conduit already there in case it ever needed another...

    Cabinet Installed for large home install, Plus prewire pics

    TN, I hate the soft ducts. I replaced mine with hard ducts in my own home. Edit: What makes you say that? I only ask because I find it interesting how different parts of the country do things differently. I'm genuinely curious what makes it obvious the havac is in a southern state. Apparently...

    My Costcos newest lorex IP kit with 2 way audio

    Trying to get an idea if these are any value for a buddy. I like the extra slots to put some 2mp starlights in with maybe 6mm lenses for infront of his driveway focused on his truck door but Ive seen other systems same price with 16ch much more flexibility.

    Cabinet Installed for large home install, Plus prewire pics

    Absolutely, that box has an outlet in the bottom of it on it's own single breaker in the box for powering the swinging cabinet which in turn will power all of the equipment that will eventually go inside. The electrician hadn't done that yet in the photo. Photos are randomly timed. First photo...

    Relief loop and everything is up top. It's a huge attic. Your not looking at the top in the photos. That's not a hole on the wall.... it's a box. The box is in the very first photo... lol There was nothing else fitting in between those studs so no, its plenty fine. Anything else would require a...

    My Costcos newest lorex IP kit with 2 way audio

    I thought this was the best subforum, let me know if it's not. Not condoning or anything, just figured I'd let you know I saw my local costco release a new lorex kit that I hadn't seen before with cameras I hadn't seen before either. All Cameras have 2 way Audio, and a little motion light that...

    I know this isn't strictly cctv stuff. If that's ANY issue let me know, we did 7 ip cams in this post. Hey guys, this is a nicer house we've been prewiring and thought you guys might get a kick out of some of the IP related stuff and work during construction. We did all the low voltage in...
