Other than lux, what else need to look for night vision quality?

There's 3rd party ones like blueiris and the ones from manufacturer like hikvision/dahua

Yep, that's the decoder

Yep, online 24/7 which is why people opt for nvr since it uses less power compared to pc.
Unless you're using one of those low power pc like the nuc.
You can also try using raspberry pi as nvr with zoneminder/motion eye

Well there is the waterproof connector that's included the camera for poe cables.
Using cat6 cables I got from taobao, definitely cheaper to buy longer cables there.

Better to get nvr that properly supports >4mp and above resolution like these ones

I tried adding 4mp before to my ds 7108sn but it only detects sd resolution.

DS-2CD2145F-IS
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a312a...._u=h2avq0doc74b

From what I've read in ipcamtalk, someone suggested that i need to change the video profile, and voila nvr detects 720p/1080p.

https://ipcamtalk.com/threads/low-resolutio...cd3345-i.12291/

However, I was unable to view substream in SD, both main/substream was in full hd.
So unless you have powerful connection like time 100mbps upload speed, you won't be able to view the stream smoothly unless you set the bitrate lower.

Now there's been other feedback that said upgrading firmware fixes that, but I won't be doing since mine is multilanguage that would revert back to chinese fimrware once upgraded

Which length did you get and how much did it weigh?

Any cat6 cable will do, as long it's connected to the poe adapter

Forgot to mention, you can still change to h264 in the settings.

If you want to save some money, you could get the model without poe ports and just get separate poe adapter.
I think so far advantage with h265 is that they consume less space for the same video quality if encoded with h264

I might get one from ezbuy prime, definitely save more on shipping

Oh yeah, the wonders of tgds
My cart keeps default to cargo so I totally forgot about that
Now I just need to learn how to connect the rj45 plugs since I only bought normal cables before

You could grab from alexander's link or any similar cable from this page

For 4 wire LAN cable, is this good enough to transmit power when connected POE ports/adapter?



Or needs 8 wire LAN cable?

I'm not sure about those 2 extra wires, just some random snapshot i took from product page

Just checked my poe adapter cables and apparently only has 4 wires inside. Guess it's more than enough

Btw, for the hikvision camera you're using with chinese firmware. Are the days displayed also in chinese, or do you just enable display for date? Was your nvr multilanguage or chinese only, forgot already ar

Bro, are you able to checkout with TGDS option?
I tried using your link, but now it won't let me use TGDS
Only consolidate option

This one -> https://world.taobao.com/item/40197923536.htm

I think they started today disabling from TGDS because yesterday I was still able to checkout items to estimate the shipping price
Guess I'll have to go with ezbuy prime
This one seems to be cheapest so far

https://ezbuy.my/product/20000004385338.html

Like this one
http://h5.m.taobao.com/awp/core/detail.htm...388&toSite=main

Which models you got for 6 more units?

Btw, how's detection so far for motion detection?
Do you use email notification with pictures/ivms app or both?

Setting it up with motion detection is pretty easy, and it sends alert to ivms app. I just can't seem to get email alerts working properly, might have to do something with DS 7108 firmware.
Also for your DS 7108 POE model, do you still need router to provide IP address? Or just use crossover cable for if you're setting up CCTV without router?

Setting up your cameras with decoder is not that difficult.
Just the wiring that can be a bit tedious since you need to run the cables thru the ceilings and across different rooms.

My setup similar to yours
I'm curious to see if your nvr can still detect those ip cameras without a router in the setup
Can't really test it myself since I don't have nvr with poe ports (i have separate poe adapters)

I'll be testing that once I get home.
It's just that i read how you need one of those cross cable lan if you wanna use without router (didn't really mention it was POE NVR or not)

Synology that good?
License fee is just too expensive for each camera (rm240)
Have you tried other alternatives like kerbio, motion eye, zoneminder?
You mean normal gigabit switch or poe gigabit switch?

You're using wifi ip camera or wired ones?
