I just installed a Lorex 16 channel dvr 1080 p system in my house. I'm using 14 cameras with bnc hook ups. The picture looks great but has some ghosting. How do I correct this problem as I'm new to the system?

I just installed a system today from Costco. My question is how or what does the remote control control. My does not do anything other than the add button which brings up a remote address. Is there a code you need to use to set this up? Thanks for any help.

I just ordered a Lorex 16 Channel HD 1080p Security System Bundles from Costcos. I have a Fasco 16 channel now with night owl 540 line cameras. My first question is will my current cables work with the 1080p system as far as video and power. Also the new system has a PTZ camera. Other than the power which I think is 24 volt will the cable be the same? The new system uses BNC as does the old. I was thinking of going with IP cameras and a NVR but for the price the Lorex DVR I hope will works ok. It would take along time to change all the wires over to cat 5 cables as I have 14 cameras. What do you guys think.

With something like this you go cat5e from the camera into this then RG6 from barn to nvr. Now at the nvr I would need another one so RG6 then a cat5e from it to the nvr. So 2 of the same thing is needed?

I have 1 spare cat5e cable ran out the barn now. That one cable could run video for 4 cameras if I used a 4 port switch? How does that work for viewing them if only one cat5e goes to the nvr from the barn. All the camera on the house would have there own cable. Do you loose anything by doing that way?

If I'm starting from scratch and need 14 total cameras, what system do you guys like. So each camera needs 1 cat5e cable no longer than 300 feet. It would take some time but it can be done.

Sense I've never seen a IP camera and if I went with that system, is there not only 1 plug on a IP camera. If I plugged 4 cat5e cables into a 9 port Poe switch then 1 to the nvr, how is the video for those 4 cameras work. I have 4 cameras around 250 feet away from where the nvr will go and can put the power out there if needed.

I was just reading on the swann system. Why would it be 8 poe ports and 8 non Poe ports. How would the 8 non ports get power for the cameras. That does not make sense to me why they did that.

The 4 cameras I have in my barn use RG6 cable not cat6 cable. Its tv cable. The system I was thinking about was a Swann 16 channel from here http://www.costco.com/Swann-16-Channel-HD-NVR-Security-System-with-3TB-HDD-and-8-3MP-HD-IP-Cameras.product.100144938.html I'm not sure if its worth changing everything or just update my dvr to something newer that supports newer HD cameras as well as my older cameras and update them as needed. But for the best picture is IP not the best.

I am thinking of updating my CCTV system after seeing how good some of the HD ones look. The system I use now is a Falco 16 channel with 550 cameras. With a IP system only 1 cat 5 cable is needed for power and video correct. Also how far of a run can you go with cat 5 and is there any difference on what cable you use. My pole barn has 4 RG6 cables which are around 250 feet each. Can these be used anyway or would I have to run 4 cat 5 cables out there. I ran 1 spare cat 5 to the barn for the computer just incase anything happened to it. Can you split this like a hub on a computer to feed 4 cameras. Sorry but I'm new to this. Thanks for any help.
