I just got MW3 from my boss for Christmas.

I've been so busy I just havnt had time to play though... I was a huge fan of the MW1. I spent many a night talking smack and whooping up on some people online.

PM sent

I can safely say I've never seen any of those movies and I have no desire to see them.

You guys are NERDS!

Also,

A handy tool is canyouseeme.org to verify port connectivity.

Disable DHCP on the Lan side on your Dlink. You need to pull DHCP from only one source on the network: the Linksys. After you do this, make sure you still get internet on devices plugged into your Dlink.

You will need to forward ports on your Linksys as this is the first thing in line from your ISP. Also, don't use port 80 as most ISPs block this. I generally use 8080. You'll need to change this on your DVR as well. Also know that with Internet Explorer, you MUST use "http://" in front of the URL if you are using anything but port 80. Example: http://mydvr.dyndns.org:8080/"

Also, it's been a while since I've installed a Windows/ Aver system... but on the Linux Nanos: Gmail port is 25 and you disable encryption... Makes ZERO sense and goes against everything else I know about Gmail's smtp servers... but it's the only thing that works.

ID:myaccount@gmail.com

Don't use "@gmail.com". Just "myaccount"

Mainly the playback interface. I'd rather use a the closed platform freebie ware that comes with Vivotek or Acti.

Something is wrong went wrong with your install then...

Nothing outdated with Aver's software at all... best bang for the buck on budget jobs, hands down.

Forget the software... it's antiquated. In the wold of CCTV capture cards, the software is propriatary to the card and vise versa

Return the NV3000, buy an NV5000 and never look back. Aver supports tons of IP cams, but make sure your cams are on Aver's compatibility list on their site.

It's not going to happen. I've been an Aver dealer/user for a few years now. I have never heard of anyone getting the cards to work with any other software.

Aver software is great... has all the mobile apps.

The NV3000 card only supports 1 IP cam. If you wanted more, you should have bough the NV5000 card. It will support 4 IP cams. Also with the NV5000 you can purchase cheap expander boards for additional analog channels.

Tested the latest Android App... outstanding! Kudos Aver...

Reliable. PTZ works. Playback works great too! Although, have yet to get anything above 1.3MP to playback. Possibly a limitation?

Luxriot sucks I'm not just jaded from using big boy toys...

Keep the Aver card and use Aver software. It's not worth the headaches of trying to hack it, I promise.

Update your motherboard BIOS.

AFAIK, Aver cards ONLY work with Aver software. What software are you trying to use???

I spent several hours working on one of these for a friend, trying to get it to work. Always with the failed login error... I've concluded it's just a peice of crap and we threw it away.

I thought he asked for good quality?? Not sure what the Ebay and Amazon references are about... He wanted an improvement, not a cheap equivilant.

If he wants an improvement go with Louroe or Crown PZM.

I'd ebay it and invest in something better. PM me an email and I can send you some live demos of some budget friendly solutions that I garuntee will blow that thing out of the water.

I stand corrected on the encoders...

Axis blade encoders and rack are actually cheaper than Exacq hybrid boxes... and hot swapable! ooooo....

^ everything he said but you can also use pendent mounts and dome cap, specific to your make/ model dome camera. most have standard threads that allow you to use threaded pipe that can be bought at any hardware store.

^ that will not work with u verse. that modulator, like most is designed for use with standard CATV

when you buy a standalone dvr, you're also pledging to use their proprietary software. usually, there are no alternatives.

as you've found out, there's a whoooooole lot more to the picture when selecting a DVR other than price and spec sheets.

what's the make/ model dvr?

yes, you can use t connectors to split a single camera to view on 2 devices and i admit i've done it before... but you're not supposed to. it cuts the video signal in half, and can result in a degraded picture.

if the quad Sean recommended has loop outs, that would work. otherwise, use a powered video splitter aka distributor:

built in IRs on domes of any style are a big no no in my opinion... the bowl shaped plastic/ glass does a great job of reflecting all that IR light right back into the lens

i'm by no means a wireless guru... but i'm leaning towards interference from something else nearby. have you tried forcing them to stay on one frequency? i'd be interested to see if there is a signal difference between the lowest freq and highest...
