    Analysis paralysis with system design

    Thanks all - some great info provided. I think I'm on the right track, with some adjustments to both camera selection and camera placement. In general, it seems my logic to focus on some select points has made sense. I'm going to play with the IPVM Calculator, and look at some cameras with...

    Surveillance Station licenses

    I know Blue Iris is king here, but I am a Synology Surveillance Station user. The cost of licenses for this thing is practically exceeding the cost for the cameras I am purchasing. Silly question, maybe... Does anyone know if licenses can be purchased "used"? That is, if I find someone who is...

    Do PoE cams connect at gigabit speed?

    Thanks all. I got so hung up on ensuring I had no issues with the gigabit bandwidth that I didn't realize not everything was going to use it. Feeling better. Thanks.

    Do PoE cams connect at gigabit speed?

    Hi all, I'm a bit of a networking novice. House is wired with CAT 6 and I have a gigabit switch (half PoE, half non-PoE). I spent some time recently re-punching some of my keystone connectors to get reliable gigabit negotiation with my PCs. I had been using my gigabit light for each channel...

    Analysis paralysis with system design

    Thanks on the "Starlight" marketing. I'm not buying in to the hype, just responding to Flinstone61 who suggested IR was relevant. Wanted to acknowledge that the selected cameras were IR.

    Analysis paralysis with system design

    Thanks, I should mention the cameras are IR/Starlight technology. Should get some detail, though not color, at night.

    Analysis paralysis with system design

    Hi all, I've read tons of threads here about camera placement and camera selection. If I had an unlimited budget, unlimited resources, and infrastructure to support 20 cameras, I'd be able to meet many of the principles you all shoot for in your designs. I see criteria like cameras watching...

    AD410 vs AD110 doorbell?

    Thanks very much for the response. I had a follow up question based on your experience: Since my end-game is to have the feed in Surveillance Station, can you let me know what apps I will need to use to configure it? I have Amcrest ViewPro that I used to just make the wifi connection with my...

    AD410 vs AD110 doorbell?

    Can anyone with real-world experience share thoughts on the differences between the AD110 and AD410 doorbells? This will be a supplemental cam on my system to get the porch at close range. Video will be captured by Surveillance Station on a Synology. I know the 110 is 1080p while the 410 is...

    IP4M-1041B poor image quality in Synology Surveillance Station

    I did find one major selection that I believe resolved the problem. Live View in Surveillance Station has a selection between "High Performance" and "High Quality". It was set to "High Performance", and once I switched it to "High Quality", the Amcrest image tightened up. Here they are again...

    IP4M-1041B poor image quality in Synology Surveillance Station

    Hi all, I'm currently testing two fairly equivalent 4MP wifi IP cams. One is a Reolink E1 Pro. The other is an Amcrest IP4M-1041B. Both were configured as ONVIF devices (neither shows up in the Synology list). The problem I'm having is that the image quality of the Amcrest in Surveillance...
