So you (we) pay a lot for the PoE switch in HIK without having the benefit to change cheaply the PoE component when it goes wrong and without having the option for management. Mind you that the cost difference between a PoE NVR and a non PoE NVR from HIK is around 200Euros for 8 ports. This is more expensive around 300Euros at least. The benefit is that you can remotely switch on-off each camera for rebooting when they get stuck (and they do stuck). The ultimate solution is to have a managed PoE switch. This will cost you around 100-150Euros for 4-8 ports PoE switch. The next best solution is to have an unmanaged PoE switch to provide power to the cameras through the UTP camera cable. The problem with this solution is that the longer the distance of the camera from the NVR the more unreliable the 12V supply becomes at the camera end. The cheapest solution is a plain 12V beefy amps power supply as used in alarm systems to feed the 12V pigtails of the cameras either through a passive injector throught the UTP camera network cable or through an extra cable run in parallel with the UTP.
This again is the most expensive and unreliable component. The problem now is power to the people, sorry power to the cameras.
#SECURITYSPY PORT FORWARDING MODEM AND ROUTER UPGRADE#
Having less cables and boxes should not have higher priority than operational reliability, functionality and future proof expansion and upgrade capabilities during the selection and design of a system.Īdd four cameras of your choise to any 7604NI-Ex NVR through any 100Mbps unmanaged switch and stirr (not shaken!!!) with any modem router of your taste. I will not comment on the number of boxes in a setup and the available space for obvious reasons. I would risk to say for example, that TP-Link is better in networking and Cisco is better in networking products from all of them. Communication equipment become commoditised faster than NVR and cameras.Ĭonclusion: I prefer to select the best of the breed from each category. The development pace of communication is faster than NVRs and cameras. Specifically HIKVision is not famous for the quality of their firmware development and deployment management.Įspecially for modem routers, if in the future a faster communications standard comes out, then you can change to a faster modem/router more economically. Additionally the integrated modem/router may have limited functionality developed.
All you need to know from the NVR is the IP and the ports it uses. It may also be more complicated to configure it, but the configuration ofa modem router has nohing to do with the NVR. An independent third party modem/router is highl likely to have better and more reliale functionality than any integrated modem/router. An indepedent modem/router simply provides an ethernet connection to the Internet. If the integrated modem in an NVR also faults, then you must purchase again the NVR. The integration of the funtionalty of a separate PoE switch to a general configuration does not have any incompatibilities risks. If the internal PoE switch in an NVR faults, then you must purchase again the NVR. If you drop the basket, you will break most if not all your eggs.

Not good.Īnd how about accessing the NVR with OSX and iOS? Would there be any preferences? Read about SecuritySpy but that would need a separate mac mini or something.
Just a little scared of port forwarding and general installations if there are several different components from various manufacturers and multiple routers / switches - and everything depends on some USB-dongle 4G-modem. How does that even work? Is there a sim-card slot and an internal modem or does it operate through USB-modem or wth?
#SECURITYSPY PORT FORWARDING MODEM AND ROUTER HOW TO#
The question is how to build a consistent system that is reliable under these circumstances.Ī separate NVR from any manufacturer and a basic RJ-45 connection with the TP-Link or something else?įound this, but where to buy such equipment and are the prices just out of normal peoples' reach: The system is going to be hooked on to a 4G/LTE/HSPA+ connection and I would like to keep the amount of equipment to a minimum simply because the more equipment the more complicated the system will be.Īt the moment I have a solid connection with a TP-Link 3G/4G Router and a 4G USB-modem. My thoughts are that it "should" be Hikvision also since they would work nicely together - but I have a feeling that I'm a little lost here with these NVRs. I finally made up my mind after a lot of googling and reading - chose the following product from Hikvision, times three:
