Sure there are organised criminal elements that scope houses out etc, but cameras are first and foremost preventative measures in that they deter would be thieves from robbing you over somone who does not have cameras. generally cameras would be a pain for a thief to deal with and as such wont risk spending time cutting power etc (lock your meter box as an additional measure). I had a bunch of concretors scoping out AA grade sleepers and mature trees being temporarily held in wine barels in my front yard. they were having a a good old sticky beak in my yard, untill they noticed the cameras. As soon as they did, they hightailed it. needless to say, the trees and sleepers didnt go missing. I moved them after i saw the footage a few days later. having your power cut so you could be robbed, is extreme. There would have to be something obviously worth stealing in the house which you had some how broad cast unknowingly - new 78 inch 4k tv box sticking out of your recycling bin, or a quick facebook gloat about your new tools etc. just dont be a show off and be smart, and you wont need to turn your house into a fortress. Also Front fences help too, and gates if possible. themore barriers that are a visible detractor to teh woud be thief, the less likley you will be targeted.

Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 102Apr 23, 2015 4:31 pm candycandy Roomeat BJ88 we terminate the IP camera cabling to the patch panel, this way you have versatility in that the recorder unit can be moved to any and every room that has a data point. Can you elaborate on how this works? If you have 8 cameras, then I would assume you would have 8 cat6 leads going into the back of the NVR? If you run the cameras back to the patch panel how do you get those 8 lines back to the NVR? Assuming the room where you put the NVR would have to have 8 data points? As a general rule, all your cabling should run from a data point back to a single point in your house That single point should have some ventilation and low dust That single point will have some sort of cabinet with a patch panel The numbers on the patch panel will equate to the number on the data point IE. Living Room 1 Data point = Living Room 1 on the patch panel From that patch panel you would run another cable into a switch located in the cabinet IE. Ports 1-10 on the patch panel have a cable plugged into any port on the switch That switch means that your devices connected to the cables can now talk to each other regardless of location So let's say your cameras are connected to Ports 1-8. Now let's say you have a data point in your living room, port 9. You plug your NAS/NVR into Port 9, then at the patch panel you plug Port 9 into the switch. Because that switch is your central communicator your cameras and NAS/NVR can now talk, it doesn't matter where your NAS/NVR is located. It can be in the cabinet, but it can also be located in the living room. PS. If your NAS/NVR is located in the cabinet, you would just plug it directly into the switch. Also with that sort of cabling, you can run a normal Telstra/voice line to any datapoint in the house from your patch panel. Voice will run easily over CAT6/CAT5E. A long as the Telstra/voice line is in your cabinet. Just to clear up some points earlier about POE camera points externally, you don't need a data point, just a CAT6/CAT5E cable coming out of your eave and wall where the camera will be drilled into. That cable will be neatly connected to the camera to make it all water resistant. Also you can either have a POE switch, or purchase cheap POE injectors which are very quite. These would be located in your cabinet.

If so, if the power is cut, will you have UPS's to support operation/LAN & WAN access..? Not sure how to solve this problem... Or if there is a simple solution you might know of..? Thanks heaps Like in this image... Cheers, Paul (& Lisa) Parkhill 36 by ClarendonHomes in Coomera Retreat H1 Build Thread And Blog Building Blogs List - Go Ahead And Add Yours!!

However, having experienced many years of "petty/opportunistic" crimes both directly, through tertiary study, and through speaking to some former purveyors of crime, sometimes the quick & easy procedure is to go ahead & cut the lock on the power-board, cut the power, & enter. All while looking like a genteel workman...London deposit box heist style, for example. The 'smart' guys wouldn't have been scoping your yard using that particular method as you've kindly described if they did want your goods...the reason I was interested in the power supply is because if the NBN is what is used to transmit your data to your remote device, & the power is not present, the NBN is no longer functional to carry data (and so on for any WAN wireless device that is not battery operated/backed up). Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 106Apr 24, 2015 5:42 pm mirz One camera needs 2 channels. For example if you want 4 cameras then you will need 8 channels nvr. 2 channels per camera? So does that mean you need two Cat6 cables run to each camera?

Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 107Apr 24, 2015 5:43 pm Oh and can anyone tell me... Does the POE work fine over distances? Or is it safer to have a injector closer to the camera?

Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 108Apr 24, 2015 5:50 pm I like Acti cameras and they have a great product info on all aspects of the cameras and their capabilities. POE is generally limited to the same distance as the Ethernet spec itself so 100m max. If you aw within spec there is no need to have an injector close to the device as outside spec you would need an injector and a repeater as well. Sent from an elegant mobile device using Tapatalk.

For example if you want 4 cameras then you will need 8 channels nvr. 2 channels per camera? So does that mean you need to Cat6 cables run to each camera? 2 channels per camera means it transmits in two different resolutions. One in max possible and other one is bare min. You don't need to run 2 cat 6 cables to one camera. Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 111Apr 24, 2015 9:37 pm daviboy What I mean is 2 channels per NAS. As in it is licensed to only view/record to cameras, so they make you buy extra licenses for more cameras Yes with the more recent versions of DSM you get 2 licenses. In older versions you only got the 1. Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 112Apr 27, 2015 12:31 am Has anyone seen the special advertised at the moment?

Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 113Apr 27, 2015 1:56 pm I have that NVR, but not those cameras. The NVR is decent and easy to use. It was bassically all plug and play (except for the network configuration for remote viewing from an app on the phone). look the camera model up for some reviews, im certain they exist. if teh cameras are decent, then it looks like a good deal. I got 4 cameras separately and that NVR for around 900 bucks. Creator of superduperonium, expert at expert things, nobel laureate, can hold my breath for 10 minutes. Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 114Apr 27, 2015 9:14 pm Specs of the camera here http://www.hikvision.com/en/us/Products ... sp?id=9118 And a review here. http://www.networkcameracritic.com/?p=1942 It's also good to bear in mind that this camera is only a 2 axis camera meaning it cannot be mounted on it's side on a wall and adjusted so that the image is the right way round. Re: IP CCTV system recommendations 115May 26, 2015 11:36 pm The camera encodes two different streams, one is for recording and the other one is a lower resolution stream for remote viewing.
