Surveillance Camera Set In San Pedro

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.

It works excellent as a surveillance camera for a remote water trough I am using it on. I can set how many pictures maximum i get per day. I have been using the camera for 3 weeks now and it has been trouble free other then a switch on the app turned off for some unknown reason and i wasn’t getting pics sent to my phone for one day until i figured it out. Saves me a lot of time and money driving back and forth to check on it. I would be interested in becoming a dealer for you.

This is exactly what I needed to get my old surveillance camera back up and running. Thanks.

I'm using it for concerts, where it improves footage that previously looked more like a surveillance camera!

HI my name is Pedro I ve been into video and photography from quite a long time. I have use a lot of this rode Microphones over the years, and this one its a keeper. Its and excellent micro, for the money you paid receivd an item that could compete with the 100 or 150 solution of RODE to the video mic go for example. plus it comes with a wind cutter extra free of charge and the size my friends, it is so lite and so portable that you don t even notice that you are holding a microphone. besides this its a super strong solution it is little an extremely well made that you coul put it in a bag, with the video mic pro, de video mic go and this one, with all your stuff and clothes and it is very probable that the other 2 microphone are broken and thios tiny and compact design wistand a travel and a bad package bag, so it s the solution for the ones that are looking portability and a pro well made solution, it s extremly light and it coul be my best buy of this year for sure. hope you all find this item so good as i do and suit your need as it did for me.

Pedro Hollywood the actor (Google me) says this is one if the best wire ever and it’s very convenient and it may be used for not only the rode but many things. The wire is super flexible , and I use it to pair my iPod to my speakers as well.

Can not ask anything better than this. Work perfect with my desktop and my camera surveillance system 2 in 1 monitor

I am using this product in my surveillance camera box and i am most happy with it .I think it dose the job better than the green one that was in the box before.

This very flexible remote allows the camera to make images with you at the controls or in your absence. It is excellent for remote surveillance.

I wanted to set up some surveillance cameras that required PoE, and this switch required little technical knowledge and worked right away!
