found a used one and got it. works great. i used my iPad to adjust the cameras on a boom lift. all you need is to download an app per camera type. only problem i have so far is with axis cameras that have auto focus. (i need to find an app for that) basically this tester comes with a tiny router and supplies power to the camera. you need to synch your iPad or iPhone to this wifi that the tester supplies.

Id like to try this, to get my views close for axis cameras. anyone know if these will work for axis?

the cameras im using are ipod-el1mpir50 from securitycameraking. they articulate every direction. outside dimension is 4.5" i could mount them directly to the wall, but i like the wall mount look, and it keeps the snow/rain off the lens cover.

Looking to install some IP mini domes on the exterior of a building, with no overhang. Is there a general wall mount bracket I can use?

Does dahua or similar priced cams work in -10 f degrees? We had a cold winter here in michigan

Ok, do I need an nvr or can I just plug it into a Poe switch

Is it possible to get 8 lower end IP camera (dahua?) ,NVR, switch, for under $5k? Do I need an NVR or can I get software that records? Thanks.

I've got 768k upload on dsl, and 1.5 down. Will I be able to watch an 8 camera system on my home with an iPhone?

thanks for the reply guys. I got it to work in the slave spot. Really is the same cable power etc. not sure how it knows its the slaver. different pins on the cable? can i run it in the slave position?

4 ch xavee hard drive squeaking and finally gave up best buy sold me a pata drive, when it had an ata drive. its not getting recognized.. cant find manual, hmmff this is what it looks like- http://www.shop.derisco.com/product.sc?productId=976&categoryId=24

I havent used this dvr in a while. bought it for my house and it has worked ok. we just moved a few months ago, and i never hooked it back up. wifes car got stolen last night so... Hooking up cameras, and it acts like the cable is not working. I have tried a few, to no success. I can see partial picture of dvr view, and its flipping, etc http://www.cctv.net/Xavee_412_Standalone_DVR_p/xa-dvr-ta412.htm

after dropping my last two dvd players, I might try something else. The dvd player is nice, with its batter and all. I did see a backup camera screen at sams club for $100. Not sure about hooking up a batter to it though.

Have they fixed the downloading evidence problem, or is it easier now?

You could run a conduit into the building, but what for? Just drill a hole, mount the box, and seal around it with caulk.

anyone know the differences between the old .net? I loved that dvr for the price.
