That sounds like a cracking deal mate. 6 cams and 2Tb drive included. Make sure MVR has 8 POE ports, there is NVR 8 Channel but only has 4POE ports, other cams can be added via network or switch. The cam that I actually got was the V2. IPC-HDW4431C-A-V2, not sure what the difference is...

Will be able to use mic on all of them mate. The audio from the built in mic is encoded into the video stream. So whatever each camera can hear that will be what is encoded into the video stream for that channel. With regard to playback.. as you know you can view multi channels at once on...

@leemoo Hi Mate... its actually 8CH POE Dahua NVR4108-8P-4KS2 NVR I got. Its humming away fine 24/7 with A dahua IPC-HDW4431C-A 4K with built in mic as main cam. I find simultaneous playback is better via Dahua's smartPPS software rather than locally via the NVR. Not sure why that is, I think...

Waiting before coming active again. I will check that out mate. Already played about with FPS, but will revisit it. I think it more than likely is something to do with the config or how it is configured when working with NVR. Will look into that but going to make it easier by first getting a...

There is a sensitivity setting. It works fine on medium, picking up little things like plants blowing in wind, but then would fail pick up anything, even a person walking it front of it on a clear day. Then they would walk by again in a few minutes and it would detect them. Most of the...

Hi mate, Dahua NVR and 4MP cam spot on, the cheaper 1080P cams are a bit temperamental, record fine, but when in motion detect mode its hit and miss, sometimes they just fail to detect motion. To the point where I just leave them record on a set schedule and even at that they are only stable...

@leemoo and anyone else that is following this thread. My 3 cheapo (£21) IP POE cams arrived Monday. Packaging not great, 3 cams each in their own small box. All 3 boxes then wrapped together in some bubble wrap with some tape to keep it all together. A couple of the boxes were dented and...

@vaf888 I've just Pm'd you mate.

NVR was delivered ok...it was shipped via DHL express for free, got in in 6 days, picked up a 1TB purple drive on amazon for £41 and installed it. Still waiting on cams, its two weeks now since they were shipped!! Tracking info says they were handed to airline, I'm beginning to think they're...

If it was me and not in any major rush, I would buy one pair on aliexpress and see how that pair fairs out before ordering more. One pair = £6.70 with free delivery Expect to wait 3-4 weeks for them. If your in a rush and don;t mind spending $100 to get all 8 sooner, just go for it...

@vaf888 Speed and bandwidth maybe an issue, which could be an issue for really high resolution cams. If used in pairs without a switch or router between the two converters there should be no issue, as long as cam is compatible with NVR. For $10 I'd take a punt on one pair first (but that's...

Its possible, from what I have read. You would need two for each camera? Are the converters you are looking at expensive, that ones with amplification can be pricey? Re-cabling could be the route to go. But passive ones on ali express for from €8 for a pair. Demo video

Only just discovered it myself. After comparing some random but identical products on the two sites, it seems that Tao is cheaper by about 20% and sometimes still cheaper even with express int shipping charges added instead of the slower free options.

@leemoo Yes some good savings to be had, and its possible to get cheaper than Ali. On non english sites like Taobao. Take for example the Hikvision 5MP cam Model DS-2CD2655FWD-IZS found it on a UK wholesaler website for £1,195 here on Ali same cam is £256 delivered free here but on Taobao...

I did look at this one good NVR alright, £198 inc vat and free delivery is a fair price for a UK vendor. Is it passively cooled or does it have fan? Is it noisy? Dahua is passive, almost silent I believe.

Will do mate, I'm particularly interested in those £21 cams to see how they fair out. May even make a vid and post some footage.

Not sure about the lucky bag thing! But obviously H.264 and H.265 indeed, which I am sure you meant also (I'm just having fun too). Bang for buck in my book, thats why I am buying. As long as I don't I don't hear a bang when I plug it in. :) Edit: sorry about the double post, the post21...

I actually meant "8MP, H.264 and H.265".. :)

@leemoo Think I'm done shopping about and researching. I spent a good bit of time looking at NVR's as I figured and good choice here would gave me room for expansion and upgrading camera's in the future. Some of the NVR's I looked at were as follows, Hikvision DS-7108N-SN/P 8CH POE can be...

Will update soon mate, buying this week. Just weighting all systems and cams up...have a fair idea what I am getting, will post all details soon.
