Software packages, on the other hand, can provide AI. Mine alerts me when humans are detected, for example, but will ignore cars. Since you already have the POE switch and the Synology, just keep using that... |

I order everything from LTS in New Jersey... Commercial outfitter (nationwide) but will sell to individuals. More than happy to give you the guy's information I deal with. He's excellent.

Two quick photos of the new 4.1MP bullet I bought. Impressive for sure. The images I'm showing below is already a compressed version of the live stream, so the quality suffered a bit, plus I reduced the resolution to 1440p.

This particular camera isn't exactly known for its stellar night vision qualities (I have other cameras that do), but I needed something that was discrete enough to fit where I wanted to install it. In any regard, this is what it looks like:

^^^That's not bad at all. What's the camera model? I've been thinking about one for our front walkway.

Finally about to pull the trigger. Seems that the 5+MP Hikvision bullets aren't as well liked as the 3MP then 4MP cams. Likely going to settle on:
1. DS-2CD2042WD-I for bullets for front and side yard SA; mix of 4mm & 6mm 2. DS-2CD2142FWD-IS domes for front & rear doors + inside the garage (mix of 4mm & 6mm) Any other suggestions before I support the economy? Likewise, undecided on NVR vs using my old PC (~5yrs old)+PoE switch. Anyone have experience using both?

Are you guys setting up a separate network for just your cameras? I would not want those camera bogging down my main internet connected network.
Also I like the idea of a complete system like Lorex that has everything committed to a single box (although I would like 2 drives with redundancy) and I would think reliability would be a lot better for power outages or things of the sort where everything gets reset. |

But with my system, I do have the IP camera system isolated from other parts of my network. It's not because it was necessary. It's because I can and have the expertise to do so. The IP camera system is on a specific VLAN. It allows me the ability to set firewall policies to control traffic flow. Again, this would be overkill for any home user, and I do this because I can and am extensive experience as a network engineer. |

Thanks. On the front, right corner of the garage, I have 2 runs of Eth. One was for monitoring one-ish side of the front (depending on camera FOV) and the other was for the other side, but also to focus on the drive way which runs up the left side of the side load garage. The latter was intended to be a 6mm dome (ie catch license plate #'s and such of people that drive up). The other 6mm was for the rear house doors but to capture the deck stairs. I was on the fence about this one. I have no issue going to f2.8 on the others. I switched to 4mm minimum based on the inputs if others. In some cases, potential ingress points are further from the camera so I figured from a personnel ID standpoint, higher focal length might be better. |

Curious, but what camera(s) do you speak of (re: better NV)?
