I am in the process of installing my 4th and 5th Hikvison 1080P system. Things I learned. Existing cables may or may not provide HD picture quality and need to be replaced. 6 Months ago I wanted a 32 Channel unit and they didn't have it, now they apparently do. Nice to be able to review...

Car Nut - Your OP says videos show wheels cam e in fine. Did you see wheels immediately after or did the guy come back later. FWIW I have been amazed that stuff "Can't Happen" but has. Conversely when it couldn't have happened I have offered to wash a car again while walking it thru with...
