Ahhh ActiveX

Hi again Macman, And thank you for your considered and informative reply. I must say, I have already dusted myself off and resumed research for a "proper" CCTV PoE solution. Reolink, of course, are non-starters. The web plugin you say. I never heard of that. When you say banned-does that mean...

Hi Macman, Thank you for the heads-up. What a shame Hik have chosen to limit their kit to only run on certain o/s and browser, that requires "maintaining" with virusware. I would have thought their NVR/camera kit would work seamlessly with any browser. Including extra layers of complexity with...

Ok chaps, I would most appreciate comments and/or advice 1. The wall mounts for external turrets. E.G. The 1273ZJ-140. Can I assume one way to route the cat6 would be to break out the bottom of the bracket and run the cable up the back and into the terminal box of the bracket? It looks like...

Thank you Macman. Really appreciated.

I'm back, Ok, so Hik naming codes are....erm "complex". I have a handle on most of them, but what do the last two characters (DE) on this camera mean? DS-2DE4425IW-DE. I notice some have other end characters. Regards Michael

Dan, Thank you for your prompt reply. I shall review my specs accordingly :). I'm sure a good compromise is achievable-just a bit more work. My experience is analogue, and certainly not Hikvision, which you bods seem very clued up on. Thank you. Regards Michael

Hi Phil, Can I get 2 way audio over cat6 POE on my planned NVR rig? I would like two of the cameras at IP67, PTZ with 2 way audio. I'm planning on using the DS-7616-NI. Are there any other considerations/materials needed? Regards Michael

Phil, Fair play to you! Thanks for taking the trouble :). I'll lay that one to rest then.

I appreciate the benefits of connecting the POE switch direct to the router, but would joining CCTV to the general network have security implications? Perhaps bandwidth issues as well! If I make the setup as a vlan and separate the two networks, I may have increased security, but added...

Phil, Thank you so much for your prompt and insightful reply. Dare I ask another question! I installed cat5E plus 3core flex to under my eaves years ago when repairing my roof (actually I also ran co-ax as well). Anyhow, the cat5E won't cope with POE, especially as I want PTZ. Any suggestions...

Hi, I would much appreciate a once-over of my scheme. I’m not too clued up as yet. I hope the attached sketch gets the point across. I am planning a network for CCTV and have decided on hard-wired as wireless looks like a nightmare to manage. My router is located in a separate room from the...

David, Thank's again for your input. Well, I have an indoor pond with a filtration system installed, I have installed a variable frequency drive to control the speed of the pump. Despite a 16mm armour cable supply and suppression, there are some harmonics. I did install one of those BT Ethernet...

David, Thank's for that I'll go over the TPlink kit. I'm sure to have more questions than answers, but that's the nature of the beast :) I've looked at the Ubiquiti stuff and am impressed, esp their mesh.

David, Thank you so much for the link. I'm really trying to get to grips with point to multi-point. I've seen some examples of P-P, but not P-MP. In particular for CCTV and computer network. I have a feeling that bandwith notwithstanding, it should be possible to configure wireless that way. I...

Phil, Thank you for your prompt reply. Caveats noted. Yes, the scenario you mention is precisely what I want for CCTV. But I would like to extend a computer network for the same reason. It strikes me that 2 slave nodes would facilitate my needs (albeit bandwidth limited). I cannot see CCTV...

Hi, I'd appreciate comments on the deployment of wireless bridges in relation to use for CCTV system with four cameras (4MP would be nice), as well as for a computer network comprising 2 or 3 stations. I'm proposing to use the HIK DS-3WF03C kit over about 40metres line of sight. I notice...
