| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 11:11 AM PDT That quote includes the cost of the cameras, which I found here: https://www.amazon.com/CMIP7043W-MZ-2-8-12mm-Motorized-Vandal-Camera/dp/B07B46DBDM He would be hooking me up to an NVR type system. It just seems a little excessive in price? I'm ok with the cameras costing $400 but should the cost of his labor plus the NVR be $600? Just want to make sure its normal, I have no experience in this. Edit: thanks for the responses everyone! I'll go with it. [link] [comments] | ||
| How to determine what UPS to use for your home system? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 02:43 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm designing a small system (cctv & door entry) for a house that's in a country where electricity is not always stable. I'd like for the system to have backup power and protection against power surges. The system takes around 60W+ at any given time. However, I can't seem to figure out what UPS to get that would allow for maximum run time in a case of lost power, but also protect against surges. To be honest, I can't even seem to figure out how to calculate how long a power supply will last from its rating.. TL;DR what type of UPS for a 60W load? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Aug 2020 03:39 AM PDT Hello everyone, Coming here after I couldnt find anything in google. Me and my colleague installed some security cams on a place yesterday. The quality is perfectly fine on the monitor connected to the NVR, but after I connect the system to the Lorex Cloud app (android) the quality is bad. I tried to look around the setting but couldn't find anything about quality. MAybe I missed something? Any help is appreciated, thank you. [link] [comments] | ||

| Live view delay of up to 10 seconds on television, but watching on web browser there is no delay!? Posted: 22 Aug 2020 01:18 PM PDT Hi, I have an IP camera set up with an NVR (both Hikvision). Does anyone know why when I am watching the live view from the NVR on my television, there is a half second delay which I understand is normal. However, the delay becomes progressively worse and lasts 3 to 4 seconds if the NVR is kept idle for at least 30 minutes. The delay then becomes even worse and lasts 7 to 8 seconds if the NVR is left idle for more than an hour. The most odd and strange part is that if I click into the menu and then go back to the live view at any time, the delay goes back to lasting for half a second, but then once the NVR is left idle again for 30 minutes, the longer delay re-appears. If I am watching the live view on my browser, there is no delay and its all fine, so I wonder if the problem could be my TV or HDMI cable connecting my TV to my NVR? Thanks for your help, [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 21 Aug 2020 07:58 PM PDT Something crazy just happened to me when I was on the phone with Vivint... I was talked into giving a stranger my debit card number, to be charged $26 to reserve a space for an install consultation. Nothing about this computes. The salesman was so good that I just did what he said. Amazing social engineering skills. I didn't even second guess it... I NEVER give my card over the phone. Never. A sales person asking for $26 to get your business? This is the most confusing business model. It sounds just like an MLM. I've never felt more like I just bought Tupperware and duped at the same time! Anyway, I see in the fine print that the $26 is meaningless and they give it back unless you sign up. I think they are using your own money to create a false sense of collateral and also a feeling of investment. I'd honestly like to take this dude for a beer and pick his brain about marketing. Anyway, I'm going to cancel the appointment because $2,600 is way more than I'm willing to spend. I just thought I'd share this, because it kind of made me feel like I was 12 years old, falling for a conman's trick in a booth at the fair. [link] [comments] | ||
