I've spoken to people at work who are interested in IP security cameras, how to set them up, which to get, software, servers, etc. and I imagine there are some people on here who have questions.

Would anyone be interested in a (free) class on IP cameras?

I'm not a security expert, just a nerd who's played with some cameras, but wouldn't mind giving back to the community by sharing what I've learned an in in-person setting. Perhaps showing people how some software works, the various types of IP cameras and technologies (wired, wireless, PoE, EoP, wifi routers/APs, motion capture, etc), what I've found works, how to wire things, etc. Maybe some IP networking basics, how to access your cameras from the internet/smart phone, how to make ethernet cables, some basics on securing the camera network, how to position them...

I don't sell cameras, software, PCs, installation or anything, so there is no marketing angle here.

Also, if someone does this for a living then I'll not step on your business.

It's an older pic from this winter, but this gives you the idea of how you can turn your home "into a prison" (per the wife). I've replaced a bunch and added a few since then:

I run blue iris as well absolutely love it. My old place I ran over 14 wired and wireless cameras with a 24 terabyte storage unit attached.

Looks like enough interest to get started.

What I'll do is write up an agenda to solidify what's in the class, and then pick a few dates and see what people can make and figure out where we can hold it.

My goal is to make this a face-to-face class.

Give me to Sunday to put the agenda together as I'm running around a lot for work this week and actually have to work vs just goofing off in the office working on my class.

Tagged as well. If my work schedule allows, I'd be interested.

I'm running 8 Hikvision ip cams on a 16 channel NVR with 4tb drive, going to upgrade that to 16tb soon.... I haven't played with it a whole lot but already know some things I would do differently if I was to do it all over.

 

[Lopezel]

I'm interested. Mostly because I've been researching baby monitors... wife is due later this month but the choices are overwhelming. I dont want to hijack this thread but if you can PM me and point me in the right direction that would be awesome.

 

[Bunsen]

If my schedule permits I'd like to be there.

 

[1406]

Interested

 

[Don]

I'm interested but I really need software for a Mac.

 

[mikep7m10]

Sounds like interest for more than one 'class'. How about one in south Wake and another in north Wake.

 

[JimP42]

Yes!
