LaView NVR PoE IP 8-Channel Security Surveillance System Expired

Hi Jeff,

In general motion detection tech leaves a lot to be desired.

For the best results combine security cameras with a good security alarm setup.

Some cameras and NVR do take alarm input signals to trigger alerts / video captures.
( this is ideal )

As im2c0ol notes, it is possible to buy more advanced and feature rich security camera systems / cameras.

If you are not under a immediate threat do take some time to read the notes I have posted in the wiki and the notes at ipcamtalk.



Hi Struck,

I would make certain that a UPS is feeding your DVR, as often power surges can take out adapters.

Given that you currently have a system up and working, do take some time to review the notes I mention and decide on your functional needs first and then determine what would work for that.

IF YOU have good quality coax cables run to good locations ( i.e. not the typical crappy cheap cable that came with your kit ) then I would consider a coax system as that way you can save time on the cabling. ( this even though I prefer IP PoE systems as I know how much time running cabling can take. )

If you have poor quality cable, or poor locations then definitely look at going with cat6/5e cable - even if you decide to go w/a coax bnc kit you can use baluns w/the cat6/5e cable and maximize your future options.



HI Star

iirc there was a 4TB seagate NAS HDD on sale for about $100 listed here ....

While getting a proper surveillance HDD would be preferred, you should be able to use a NAS rated one w/o issues in that system.

Also, while you're waiting if you have an older SATA HDD around I would try that in the mean while.

FYI - here is the recent fp deal - just saw today's Fry's email ad today which had it for iirc $110 ( update, auto correct made Fry's into Friday )
