Surveillance Cameras Warning Signs

I should have listened to others before trying this. I should have seen the warning signs. But I was weak and I caved. I tried a nice entry level item, anchor links, to be exact. Now I've been sucked into this vortex of quality, convenience, and innovativeness. I hate this product because it is too easy to get addicted to. I already find myself perusing the many items available and trying to justify a reason to make the purchase. As a matter of fact, I am going to research a couple of straps right after I post this review.

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

very useful and handy to see far signs.

I use this mounting plate of many of my cameras with great results, the application to equiptment used, show very slight signs of wear.

I have a collection of old cameras and lenses and quite a few new equipment. Some of the old lenses from the 1930s I had to have cleaned from the beginning signs of fungus. With the cost this was a no brainer. Very attractive in my office with my cameras and lenses

These are amazing wipes. They really clean well, and you can use it safely on cameras, binoculars, phones, etc. One warning, the wet cleaning agent on the wipe evaporates really, really fast.

Custom made for minimalists. This is all you need for small cameras. If you use Arca style clamps. Warning: Easy to lose.

This is how lithium batteries for cameras should be done. It's not too big or heavy, and has some intelligence so you get a decent warning before it dies. Bought separately it comes in a really nice little snap close plastic box to protect it. However, the best part is that Sony uses it in many different cameras (unlike their competitors who seem to have the battery of the month club). My HX80 and RX100 both use this cell. I do use the external Sony charger; which is much quicker than using a UPS supply and charging it in the camera. On travel, I only need one charger for both 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.
