Imilab EC4 with solar panel, can use or not?
or better pull 1 external socket and buy Xiaomi PTZ 2k pro instead?

Feel like wanted to add on 2 additional wireless CCTV infront of my house gate (probably setup on awning metal support)

Hi,

How much the price for for 6 camera currently. 4MP

Hi all, any comment on this quote? Price and spec wise

Ya, I am able to check the price at Lazada/Shopee, just the labour and installation part not so sure.

------------
I got another quote

4 Channel
DVR HIK-VISION IDS7204HUHI-M1/S
1TB HDD
4x 5MP BULLET CAM NIK-VSION
4x RG59 coaxial

Yesterday one forumer mentioned about RG cable. Are those two system/spec comparable? without price comparison

This is interesting. Actually I plan to relocate my Unifi point to the opposite wall. So I wonder if this is the reason both vendors propose different type of cable.

The first one using cat6 did a site visit and I informed him about relocating the Unifi point. However, the RG cable vendor has not visited my house and at that time, there is no place to relocate the unifi point. Would he change to cat6 cable too if he is aware of the Unifi point relocation? Or the choice of using cat6 vs RG cable is independant of the unifi point?

Are both these system Analog?

Which should I choose? 8mp analog cctv or 4mp colourvu hik ip cctv?

Is dahua cctv camera reliable? Anyone use their wizsense siren cctv before? Is it too loud and prone to false alarms?

Any recommendation for cctv for number plates for night ? I am using tapo c425. It very clear at night and can see car number plate that are stationary. But moment car ehdlights are on and its moving. Its all blown out and cant see the plates of the moving car

what is the recommended storage size if want to record for 7/24 for one week? 4pcs of 5MP wired CCTV

Below is the spec. Can you help to check what is the storage needed? NTW, 3K=5MP right?

Thanks for the detail explanation. So if i have 4 camera, it can record around 5 days only. Is the calculation correct?
I see DVR has many variant although both are HUHI, eg: iDS-7204HUHI-M1/E & iDS-7204HUHI-M1/S. How to choose?

Do you support installation of CCTV at Melaka area?

Hi, should I wait for Unifi to be available before I install the CCTV and Alarm?

All wiring is done, just pending the camera, recorder and sensor installation. TM said the unifi insfrastructure is not ready. The house is currently empty but will start to move in furniture and appliances in 2-3 months of so.

If install now, the cctv can record but I am not able to view using apps and cannot control the alarm too.

Any thoughts?

Any good cctv brand to recommend? 🤔⚡🔥

Hi,
was wondering is there any possibility way to remotely reboot my net embedded Cynics Decorder? I noticed after while, i cant view my cctv remotely, so i reboot it manually and then it can immediately be seen.

The model Is HT4216-III

How do I share my Tapo CCTV access to another user so that she is able to have equal control as I am? Current share function only allow minimal task, the shared user is not able to enter/exit privacy mode.

Is it possible to use my login details on another phone? I tried this but it keeps saying username/pwd is incorrect. Anyone able to share login details on 2 phones? Thanks

Hi,

Wanna ask about this issue. The upper part of my CCTV feed is distorted as per the picture below. The distortion is moving/flicking when viewing. May I know most likely is this due to the cabling or the camera issue?

And the weird this is, when checking back the recordings, this distortion only happens during day time. The video was stable in the night time recordings     

Thanks

Hi sifu-sifu sekalian

I would like to ask for some recommendations for CCTV solutions for my house which is currently empty, but forgot to include planning for concealed cabling during renovation previously

Therefore I am looking for options that can have wireless cameras but local recording to an NVR (not recording to microSD within the camera like TP-Link TAPO cameras, due to concern that records may be lost if thief steals the camera itself)

are there any viable options locally? I've seen on taobao that there are dahua NVRs that can record from wireless cameras (DH-NVR1108HS-W-HDS2).
Will buying these NVRs and/or wireless cameras from China work in Malaysia considering our electricity supply is different

idealhometech

may I know why for wired solutions you are recommending the POE systems ?

what's the advantage over analog solutions?

is it because less cabling is required and poe systems support higher resolutions and fancier functions ?
