Using LTS instead of Hikvision

LTS is a Hikvision OEM Save money, get your order faster, and get better support!   Here is a web chat I had with a low-voltage CCTV installer earlier this week: Aug 14, 2017 1:28 PM Raymond Shadman: what are you looking for? Aug 14, 2017 1:31 PM Visitor: DS-2CE56D5T-IT3-2.8MM hIKVISION Aug 14, 2017 1:32 PM Raymond Shadman: and how many do you need? Aug 14, 2017 1:32 PM Visitor: 3 Aug 14, 2017 1:33 PM Raymond Shadman: i can do $139.99 each with free shipping Aug 14, 2017 1:35 PM Raymond Shadman: this is a much better camera: http://edigitaldeals.net/lts-platinum-cmht1322w-28-2mp-1080p-matrix-ir-turret-dome-hd-tvi-camera-2-8mm-wdr-20m-infrared-12v-dc-ip66-3yr.html Aug 14, 2017 1:35 PM Raymond Shadman: and the price would be $87.95 Aug 14, 2017 1:37 PM Raymond Shadman: that LTS has 20 meters of infrared, with true WDR. For 40 meters to match the Hikvision, I would recommend this one: Aug 14, 2017 1:37 PM Raymond Shadman: $107.95 each Aug 14, 2017 1:37 PM Raymond Shadman: we generally use LTS instead of Hikvision because it’s the exact same camera (hardware and software), and the price is less and the support is better Aug 14, 2017 1:37 PM Raymond Shadman: shipping is also faster Make your own determination, or […]

Add an Onvif IP Camera to an Onvif Recorder

By Raymond Shadman Direct/SMS/Fax:  310.876.1540 Phone:           877.DEALS.79 or 310-370-9500 x1 Email:            [email protected] Web:            customvideosecurity.com Skype:           rshadman In this post, we list best practices for ensuring compatibility between IP recorders and IP cameras. Unlike analog recorders, NVRs or hybrid/tribrid/multi-format DVRs (also known as XVRs) require compatible makes and models of IP cameras.For example, if using a Dahua NVR, it’s a best practice to use Dahua IP Cameras in order to guarantee compatibility between recorders and cameras. If mixing brands, or if not using a stated make and model of listed IP camera, it’s very possible that the camera’s video stream won’t display on the NVR. In some cases, the camera’s video stream might be displayed, but other features may not work. The same holds true for VMSes (Video Management Systems) such as Milestone XProtect, which are essentially software-based IP management systems that are designed to accommodate numerous brands of IP Cameras, with certain limitations. If not using the same brand of NVR or IP camera, the best practice is to match each device’s corresponding Onvif profile. Onvif is a standard in the IP/Security world, which allows interoperability between IP security devices, even if they are […]

ISONAS Access Control Integration FAQs into Milestone XProtect

By Raymond Shadman Direct/SMS/Fax: 310-370-9500 x1 Phone:           877.DEALS.79 or 310.370.9500 x101 Email:          [email protected] Web:          customvideosecurity.com Skype:           rshadman   Here are my questions to ISONAS regarding replacing a hospital’s S2 control panels with ISONAS IPBridge units so that they can use their existing S2 readers at each of their existing access controlled doors and have integration into Milestone XProtect. The hospital’s intent is to add new ISONAS equipment to the new doors, while to use existing equipment where possible, given their fairly recent investment into S2, which was substantial. S2, unfortunately, does not offer any integration into Milestone XProtect.   Q1) Is it the Pure Access Software that integrates with Milestone XProtect? A1) The Milestone Pure Access integration is expected to be complete in June. This is related to their newer RC04 Pure Access products, because their RC03 integration was complete at least 1-2 years ago.   Q2) The Milestone XProtect server will be running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Must we have Server2012 R2 or better for Pure Access, or is it better for Pure Access to run on its own server or workstation? A2) The Manager on-premise version of Pure […]

Drone Operation with Milestone XProtect VMS

You can use the Phantom 3 Advanced with the HDMI output module connected to the TBS 2216 HDMI encoder (better encoders available) with the universal driver in Milestone to record live video. In addition, you can the Inspire 1 with the light bridge wireless with an HDMI out that goes into an HDMI encoder and it is recorded into Milestone XProtect with the universal driver. The two above installations were hardwired into a POE switch directly connected to a recorder. You can also use a wireless bridge connected to a cellular connection. You can also have helicopter and drone connections using a Rocket Router with multiple cellular cards for increased bandwidth.         For more information, you may email me at [email protected].
