Y not try NVR with POE.

Bro, what's the name of the shop?

if buy from lowyat, how do you settle the setup and installation ?

Hi bro, update us if the installation went well. I'm on the same boat... my renovation is ongoing hence my contractor did Cat 6 wiring for 8 points too. But have not purchased the nvr & camera yet. Looking to purchase in Lazada and install myself.

I am running hikvision cams and NVR installed myself. I find myself using the hikvision app to view the NVR most of the time rather than on the TV. It is so much easier, since I do not have a monitor/TV in my room. However, sometimes, playback via the app not so smooth. So, you may not need the monitor in your master room. Just use your phone/tablet. My 2 cen.
Setup line crossing or intrusion detection and the app alerts you. Had to trial and error the sensitivity and other parameters to have it working just right. Otherwise, too much alerts.

Share the photos bro once done. I was thinking of placement as:

Router, modem & switch at staircase (middle of house)
NVR hidden in plaster ceiling.

Setup:

1. Modem > router > 8 port gigabit switch > RJ45 wall plate (4 rooms, 1 living, 1 family hall)
2. Modem > router > 8 ch NVR > 6 outdoor & 2 indoor cameras
3. NVR > hdmi splitter > HDMI wall plate (living & family hall)
4. NVR > VGA wall plate (Master room)

Am I missing something else?

your dvr 439
4 x camera 329x4 =1316
1T hdd  prolly 150
poe switch 130

total 2035.
the original cynics quotation around 2400

So that fell make a few hundred buck from you only. fair enough la bro ppl need to make a living providing service to  others whom have no knowledge to install/setup themselves.

You will need to connect a monitor to your dvr to do the initial set, tests everything working before sending it up the ceiling which is actually not  that uncommon.
do all the monitoring via tablet /hp. good luck.

So you choose 2 or 4Mp?

Is this your home setup?

So many LAN ports

No wonder, 16 ports for a house is like WOW 

Got video comparisons to share? 2 & 4Mp.

All using main stream?

The last picture, is the lighting provided by your house lights? or that's the totally dark scene but the camera night mode are able to take this picture without much light source?

You can see the camera IR reflected on the back wall & on the left could be  his neighbour's back lights or street lamp. I don't know if this HIK model can be configure as 5MP or is strictly 4MP. If 4MP it is not using Sony CMOS so you will notice a bit of noise during low lights.

Was reading the other day some UK based site. It seems they prefer 2mp compared to 4mp due to lower noise rate & better sharpness. And also eats up lesser hdd space.

Can't locate the website again. Anyone has experience using both 2mp & 4mp? Please share your thoughts.
