Not sure what you mean. I am new to all of this. I had a NightOwl system with BNC cabling which I thought was anolog. The WatchNet camera did work on this system. I bought the new Lorex system that is compatible with using my old BNC cabling. I thought the camera would work? Hi. A few years ago all what was available was analog BNC cameras. Now we have HD analog which are megapixel systems ........ But a few versions came out .....TVI -CVI-AHD. All of which are BNC connection cameras .... The problem is a compatable DVR is needed to run these cameras. Some DVRs will run all platforms some will only run 1 formate ....... TVI system or cvi system or AHD system. Some of the recorders will also allow old analog cameras to run . Dahua LVH is cvi only. So will only run cvi cameras. ( that's how it was over a year ago)

Hi. What part of the world are you in. Displaying your full cctv system in your reception for public to view is against the law now in most countries. But yes it is possible...... but a few things ..... company related video is only going to use more of your hard drive space Keep things simple .... keep cctv system as a cctv system ........for company advertising in your reception just put up another screen .....a monitor that will play from a memory device such as pen or hard drive

Hi. It looks like your camera is not compatable LVH units are CVI only not analog

Hi. Why choose wireless. How long do you want the system to last ? You need local record more than cloud. Also you need to look at the arlo cloud costs ... it is expensive Even there cloud free ..... 7 days of cloud recording with ONLY 1gb of storage. Work it out ..... that’s less than 10 minutes of recording a day ..... pointless 24/7 recording is 69 a year for each camera each year. Get your own system and be in control of it ...... money to 3rd party is usless

Sounds like your pc is not powerful enough. Look at loading dahua old PSS not smart pss

Hi. Using existing power from the lead kits will only give you problems as you have already had one fail. The lead kits don’t last and are not good for cctv. I would use two baluns ( without tails) and then use your existing pair for power. Balun on 1 pair for each camera leaves you with2 pair for power https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GJISLDY/ref=sspa_mw_detail_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hi. No you can’t use a Poe switch You are best using a single pair for each camera and the rest use for power

There is no such thing as a WIFI service provider. You get WIFI from a cable or DSL provider in your home or a hotspot. A phone data plan is not WIFI. Details on your service provider would be a big help. It's best known as wireless service provider

Hi. I ment other manufacturers. But since most are built in China with the likes of hikvision and dahua ... they are more expensive from rebadged than direct from authorised dealers..... even eBay and Amazon are over priced TVI or CVI 2.1 mp which is now old tech sell for $50 for brand name on eBay or amazon and have to wait for delivery from China I can walk into my supplier same camera $14 and if it fails I just walk back into supplier. Cheap because old tech. Cvi or tvi 4 or 5mp brand name $32 ...... eBay amazon $60 / 70

Hi. You would be better not using any ip cameras. That system will take 4mp hd analog cameras ......you can only use 3mp ip camera so makes more sense to stay with 4mp

Even more reason not to buy hikvision. Who in the right mind would want China government to have control of mobile devices. iPhone allows hik even when a sleep it’s upto setting in notifications to sort your problem out. I can’t see Apple ever letting a app that can take control of your mobile devices..... it should be upto the user not the China government

Yes it’s confirmed...... hence the reason they are banned for government facilities We have been talking about hik 3rd part viewing for a few years. If you are using hik or dahua cameras with there 2016 upwards software then look at the p2p setup and see we’re the IP address is going. Nothing to do with port forwarding

Like I said keep it simple ..... it only takes minutes to change and always best to do it in order.

Use a memory stick ... keep it simple

They are both for the same recorder just different updates Top is December 2017 bottom is June 2018 Best doing both in that order

Hi. No telnet into any new dahua or hik Thanks for quick response! Is there a way of downgrading to a version with telnet? Any pre 2017 software will but it will not run on your machine

Hi. No telnet into any new dahua or hik

Have a look at the qvis 4 way Quattro 5in1 That plays all formats

Hi . If you have standard analog cameras there is nothing that will allow you to record 1080p. You are looking at 960h as being best for analog. Which the recorder you bought will do. To go 1080p you will need HD analog which are either cvi tvi or AHD with a comparable recorder. Or go for a IP camera system with nvr

That’s no help at all ..... it’s a dvr ip is asking about Let’s hope your not going to spam

Hi. 1080 is related to its monitor output .....it has HDMI Its output to monitor is optimised 1080p (not true 1080p) Recordings are only D1 and only runs on analog cameras with like you say 980h being max. Still a good recorder .....rebadged dahua 960h range. How much did you pay for it ?

Hi. Your post is a bit confusing..... before you do anything with hard drive You say in your post you checked all camera wires..... this would have nothing to do with hard drive Are all your cameras still showing on monitor ?

That way needs software..... just entering IP address into browser is easier

Hi . All you need to do is input your dvrs IP address into your web browser

Hi. Should only ever use 1 pair for data. What camera and recorder are you using also the hd format. Size of power supply and cable used for that
