Thanks for the information on the MAC software! I recently did a 32 camera install using ACTI megapixel cameras on an Intel Quad core NVR. The owner of the restuarant hates Windows PC's. We won the bid because we found an NVR software that supported both ACTI megapixel cameras and APPLE Macintosh as a Client in the Server-Client network. The NVR at the restuarant was set up using a Linux distro by Exacqvision software. There ie no reaosn for the customer to change camera or recording settings. This also prevents costly call-backs. If they want to change something, they can do it remotely through the MACintosh software client. Thanks for this new information about MAcintosh ip camera server software! I will be requesting ioformation soon, for my next MAC ip camera install. Hello guys. Thanks for the information on the MAC software!

Software for these solutions don't seem to have hardware standard configurations like a network printer does. Any wireless printer will connect and print from your laptop but this is not true of IP camera and surveillance software. Your software cost vs. capabilities may be your first budget point to consider if you are seeking video analytics.

Especially if you are considering an IP based camera and the potential bandwidth suck you will experience. With your average LAN you should still do fine, but move over to a WAN situation and you could have some serious bandwidth issues.

As CCTV News has stated, even WPA2 can now be hacked. WEP has unfortuntely been decimated as far as securing a network is concerned as even a neophyte can hack it with a variety of easy to access tools. WPA2, however, is still pretty hard to crack. It takes a long time to hack it and you need to be more than an amatuer hacker. Since WPA2 uses TKIP which is based on rotating keys, it makes it a lot more difficult to break into (WEP lacks this feature). Additionally, there are enterprise versions of WPA2 which I would feel pretty confident about using if I had a long and complex key and I am using the password protection on my cameras. Changing Ports is not a very useful strategy since you can use a port scanner to find out which services are running. I agree with CCTV-NEWS that MAC filtering would be somewhat useless. I guess it all comes down to a matter of putting as many walls in front of a hacker. Brian Levy blog.herocctv.com A very excellent and informative article.

One additional thing: SSID broadcast. Turning it of makes network a little more safer, but in fact only for amateurs, just like some steps above. In my opinion the most important thing is to change default passwords in cameras and network hardware. Of course password should be strong enough. MAC could be cloned, SSID is not hidden in fact (could be reveiled by software), WPA2 could be cracked. Regards. Hello.
