Can anyone recommend an NVR for Dahua cameras? I have six cameras, two on the main house and four on an outbuilding. Mix of: Dahua DH-IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV WizSense TiOC Grey Outdoor HD PoE Turret IP Camera w/ 2.8mm Lens, 30m Full Colour, Audio & Alarm (5 MP) Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV WizSense...

Hi all, I live in a new build house with steel stud walls that I think cause me to have poor wifi coverage. Currently I have a fairly decent router under the stairs but I struggle for signal in upstairs bedrooms. To help alleviate this I have bought two UniFi 6 Lite WAPs which will be...

Thanks, good tip. I've ordered them now. The site I used had an 'accessories' tab that showed the right mounts etc, got a junction box for each. I've got a 2.8mm turret and 3.6mm bullet and can try them both out on the garage before buying another to go there. I'll let you know how I get on!

Thanks Katie, I think it's worth me giving it a go and if it gets too hot there's not a huge amount of work lose moving everything if I need. I'll report back!

Yeah, thanks @fobose. You're right. I think I'll just order one of each for now as I know I will have use for them both; I can play about afterwards! I'd be interested to know whether pairing CCTV with a security light is a good thing though as I haven't bought the lights yet - I'd imagine the...

@WJA96 - sorry to draw upon your excellent advice once again... I've got Dahua DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV (3.6mm bullet) and DH-IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV (2.8mm turret) sat in my cart right now. The 2.8mm turret is to go under the awning at my front door, where there is a security light. The 3.6mm bullets...

Ah, apologies, 5MP are the ones I am looking at. DH-IPC-HFW3549T1-AS-PV and DH-IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV.

Thanks, I'm getting the 4K ones you mentioned in the other thread. Buying the Dahua recorder works if I can have it backup to a NAS automatically!

@fobose, great, thank you for taking the time to share that. I will get some Dahua cams on order and work out the rest of my network plan!

Yeah, have done but it's still quite expensive when 6 cameras running at 4k generate around a Tb per 24hrs. I'm thinking my best option is to buy a second Synology (cheaper 2 bay model) as my NVR, hide it, and run a sync overnight.

Hi all, I'm planning out my home networking at the moment, including CCTV. Nothing installed yet. I think for me the right solution looks like 5 or 6 4k cameras (Dahua TIOC series POE) and a Synology 420+. The role of the 420+ will simply be: - Wireless backup for our laptops - Central...

Thank you so much, that's very useful, in combination with your thread. Also helps me in my planning for NVR/NAS. I obviously now need a NVR of some sort and had been considering NAS for a while so makes sense to combine the two in a single solution.

Thank you, that's great! What lens is that?

Great, thanks. Well done for penetrating my accidentally hidden question within a quote box...:p

Hi - I'm looking at the exact same gear, plus I'd like to mount a camera under the awning at the front door (so can only get 8ft height) and above the garage door (10ft) - do you think the DH-IPC-HDW3549H-AS-PV 2.8mm turret style would be well suited to these 'low' mountings? I'd really...

Thanks all, this is really useful. Seems I am probably over thinking slightly and the kit will stand up to either, for a while at least. Perhaps I'll split my kit out a bit. I like the idea of CCTV NVR in the attic as it's not accessible in the very unlikely event someone breaks in. I could put...

Hi all, New build house to which I am adding POE CCTV. I will be running the cables in to the attic space. Running cables between floors is proving problematic, but the attic gives me good freedom of movement - I can then keep everything within there or, go through the ceiling in to the airing...

Yeah, I can select AT&T, Verizon or T Mobile. Not sure if that confirms anything though?

Hi, I'm in the USA. I bought an iPhone 6S today on T-Mobile as these versions are, from what I can see online, unlocked. I have put my sim card in (Three) and it works fine. HOWEVER! As I am roaming on Three Feel at Home, the network it has attached me to happens to be T-Mobile. I can...
