Hello, Has anyone tried adding a microphone to the RCA input on their NVR? I don't believe there is a thread on this anywhere. As my acusense cameras do not pick up clear audio from my PC Mic, I thought I'd try from a mic connected directly to the NVR. Thanks! Adrian

Thank you very much Dan! That certainly widens my FOV.

Hi Dan, Thank you very much. I thought I could use this camera in a parking lot as well as in my cow barn to focus in and observe animals if they were ill. Tbh, the priority is observing animals in an 8m by 50m area. I may have to go the ptz route from what you mentioned. Or perhaps have a few...

Thank you very much Dan. That would be nice. But I wonder if it would be cheaper to use more long range turrets to cover the area... but at the loss of nvr channels I suppose.

Thank you very much codlord. It seems like it defeats the purpose as we can't be sure where the perpetrator would be... I suppose the other model will have a clearer picture even at 8 mm. But again I suppose it will only zoom in the centre of the FOV?

Hi Dan, Does this mean it can only zoom into the centre of FOV? Or could you zoom into a corner that's already within the maximum field of view? I.e. if you want to zoom into a number plate that's barely in the frame (at 2.8mm setting), can you do this? Thank you, Adrian

Thank you very much Dan! That is very helpful information. I have been enjoying your videos on CCTV basics.

Thanks for clarifying. I think I'll go with the extra cabling and stick with the POE model. Apparently, the alarm issue comes up if I use the value series switch. Anyway, I can't risk getting it wrong with the theft issues I've had. Perhaps the pro series switch is needed? Thanks for the...

Thanks again JB! I am new to this and am paranoid of buying the wrong equipment. It does seem like the DS 7608ni i2/8p is a safe option. I am also concerned about losing features like the alarm on acusense cameras. Will the advanced pro series switches help in any way?

Paà Hi JB, That is extremely helpful info and saves me from making a costly mistake. I've also been told that the alarm and strobe light may not work. Will the POE version (DS 7608ni i2/8p) be also advisable despite the increased cabling? Thank you, Adrian

Hi Dan, There also seems to be an I series DS- 7608NI- I2 which supports 8 channels but doesn't have the POE interface. Can this do the same job using a Value series switch? My NVR is not near the cluster of cameras so I would prefer to have the switch closer to the cameras (and run a single...

Hello, Gained a lot of useful info here. Thank you. I've learnt that an I series NVR works best with my 5mp acusense camera with strobe light. Which switch do I need? Will the Value series switch work? Thanks in advance, Adrian
