Cheap Surveillance Cameras Harbor Freight

This does fit with the knock off Harbor Freight version.

Hey, I know you can get cheap suction cups at Harbor Freight. I've done that. But then you waste time (and risk damage to underlying surface) in trying to tie stuff on to them. What you really need isthis. It's articulated, strong, and has the very stud you need for mounting virtually anything. As photos of these in use indicate, you want more than one. CLEAN the surface to near sterile before using on auto paint and monitor suction and you're golden.

I have a Harbor Freight Pelican look alike case. Whether you get the Pelican or the Apache (Harbor Freight brand) Case, the pick and pluck foam is terrible. It's really ok if you used it, broke it down and used a shipping material. The Trekpak is fully customizable and allows a bit more space in your case to store your belonings. Pretty intuitive but also instructions in YouTube to make it easy to use. Although a bit on the more expensive side, I will have to get for my other cases. It's totally worth it.

Yeah you could go to Harbor Freight and get a knockoff, but why? I had a Pelican with about $2K in gear inside fall out of my kayak when it tipped (due to waves from a sudden wind squall) and it just floated. Everything was dry inside.

In the past I usually went with the cheaper Harbor Freight cases, but went for the genuine Pelican for my recent kit. I can only say good things about the 1535 air. I think the most noteworthy is the weight and size for travel. I do wish that the foam had two levels of height for shorter items, but I was able to cut some foam to work as needed. So far the foam is holding up and not flaking or shedding. If you are looking to save money with a knock off...don't.

The A-MoDe Lid Organizer for Pelican 1510. I am actually using this on a Apache 5800 from Harbor Freight. I needed slightly fatter screws but it's working perfectly. Apply included adhesive tape to lid then attach organizer backer and screw in firmly. This holds my laptop and tablet with ease. Loops on front make cables and accessories easy to see and access. Laptop case and cable bag are held in place with velcro so you can remove or change orientation. I am very pleased so far and would recommend.

Cameras easy to use and take great pictures. I use them for hunting and for surveillance around my property. I have several cameras.

Not cheap, but way ahead of a lot of other cameras.

The VOSKER camera is a great camera. I use it for surveillance around our house and it does the job perfectly. Thankfully it doesn’t pick up every little thing either which is great. Also there is a setting where you can change the sensitivity because I know sometimes the cameras can pick up every little thing. I have my camera set on video mode and the quality of the footage is great both day and night. Also what is awesome about these cameras is you can still use them as a trail camera and what’s great is you can put them high in the tree and have them look down on the trail or a field edge. I had never used a surveillance camera before until now and there’s no other camera I would use for surveillance than VOSKER. Thanks Dustin

We have purchased two of these so far to use primarily as NVRs for a large number of IP cameras on a school campus. Licensing costs aside, Synology Surveillance Station does a really nice job making it easy to set up and scale with the number of cameras you have. We linked two together, making one the primary and the other a secondary target for recordings. Surveillance Station records direct-to-disk, and does a decent job of adjusting camera settings directly using ONVIF. We have about 50+ cameras running at resolutions from 1280x720 up to 2560x1600, some PTZ, some ceiling-mount fisheyes, mostly wide angle fixed, and everything works pretty well. We were even able to use the manual camera configuration to use some uncommon double-lens cameras. With about 26 cameras assigned to each RS422+, we see about 20-25% CPU on each on average during a typical day. We can comfortably handle 32 per unit, and supposedly up to 40 if needed. With x4 6TB drives in each set in SHR-1 (equivalent to RAID5) we have about a month or so of footage retention. The licensing is a little pricey at $50 per camera (unless you buy in bulk from some european IP camera shops...), but it is perpetual and I think worth the expense. Using two of these units, 8 cheap drives from eBay (luckily these do not suffer from the Synology whitelist) and a bunch of camera licenses, for around under $5000 I was able to build and set up a really easy to use and reliable NVR system with plenty of future expandability. 2-3 users are regularly connected on their desktops without issue.
