rich_tech Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Hello All, I am after some recommendations / suppliers who offer pricing on IP Based CCTV cameras (PoE based ideally as we have a switch here already for them and it saves running cables for power), all our usual suppliers don't seem to offer this which I can understand. The camera has to be compatible with Milestone Express Go CCTV system to add them in - we have had quote so far for trendnet devices, but they have not been compatible with Express Go from what I am reading and ideally I just want a solution that just works with minimal fuss or faffing around. 4 of them are needed and they will be mounted internally within the site, the images do not have to be super HD or anything daft and we do not want them to have PTZ either as they will be fixed in place covering their specific areas. Thanks, Rich
AJWhite1970 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I got all my cameras from HDCCTV - https://www.hdcctv.co.uk/products/hd-ip-cctv/hd-ip-cctv-cameras.html We use the XC1080BAP's externally and XC1080DAP's in corridors. Brilliant cameras with really good night-sight as well. PM me if you want to see some screen shots or video clips Andrew 1

steveg Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I got ours from https://www.use-ip.co.uk/ and went for the hikvision range - good spec at a good price, and so far seem to be reliable - only installed over the summer. The guy that runs the company seems to know what he's talking about, and is always very friendly when I call up for advice. Steve 1

rich_tech Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks so far, our normal IT based suppliers were struggling I think as its a bit of a niche market.
MatthewL Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 I am looking to purchase some IP CCTV to replace a SWANN system I have at home. Hikvision have come up a few times in recommendations. Is there anything to look out for with IP CCTV? Also say I am running 8 IP cameras will one of the small POE switches be enough?

Thanks, Rich Worth talking to @Net-Ctrl about this they do IP CCTV and I think they use Milestone as well from a past conversation I had with them. 2
ITGURU Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 We've got a Hikvision system that was installed last year both fixed domes and PTZ cameras - excellent image quality and plug and play with NVRs with POE ports.
ITGURU Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 What NVR are you using with your Hikvision? We have two different ones for different areas - DS-7616NI SE-P AND DS-7716NI-SP 1

If your NVR isn't POE and your connecting the cameras to a POE switch you just need to make sure it has a high enough power rating to run all the cameras. We have 8 x NRV's dotted about the site, of which you can manage them all from a single PC through software on one screen for live viewing and playback - saves on network bandwidth as cameras are connected to the NVR and only time data passes the LAN is when connecting to the NVRs
plexer Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Hikvision cams are supported in milestone. Ben
Net-Ctrl Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Thank you for the mention @john. @Rich-tech we supply MOBOTIX IP-CCTV cameras, which as far as i'm aware will work with Milestone, they certainly used to. They have a great camera portfolio, we have a lot of education sites using them, starting price is around the £300 mark. If you would like to discuss the different options, let me know and I can arrange for one of the MOBOTIX team to send you some information, or give you a call.
