    Hi analog is not lag free However cvi is none lag real time. And no way are you going to get a better image with analog For what your budget is why not just buy a cvi dvr ..... better image than you will get with old analog plus 4mp you have scop to zoom Going back to analog will be your bad purchase

    So you want to give away your 2mp cvi .... buy a analog with a $100 budget That makes no sense at all ..... buying a cheap dvr without hard drive will work out cheaper The dvr is only being used so you cam view the hd image on your monitor which also will be much better than any analog image

    Hi . First don’t pay anymore than $20 for an analog camera Why do you not want to record at your front door. I would use the cvi camera you have and just look for a cheap cvi recorder

    Wow $600 for a 4 way dvr ..... and again they are not 30fps it says upto. 960h 720p will be 30 1080 and over won’t be. Cvi will do 25fps but anything from 15 to 25 is good you won’t see any difference Are you looking at home use or business

    Off Grid Solar CCTV - motion detection.

    Hi. No dvr or alarm system required Just GJD sensors and control unit which connects to the camera direct. The camera is always recording .... The point of the GJD is you also get alerts when sensors detect movement ...... Which is much more reliable than camera set to motion detect. Cameras with motion detect will pic up rain snow small birds and also light change ..... To a point it becomes useless ANPR is something the camera does

    Off Grid Solar CCTV - motion detection.

    Hi. With solar I would have cameras with alarm inputs which would save you on battery usage and alarm using your power which would also need some sort of mobile alert unit. There is a camera in the uk that is for farms and also has a very cleaver number plate catcher ... 2mp full stand alone IR. And as for sensors gjd are the best battery operated long range with battery life of 3 years again no drain on your solar battery http://www.gjd.co.uk/products/wireless-detectors/d-tect-universal-gjd630 The cameras are around £300 but are 3-4-5g network number plate recognition and car colour .... it will ignor cars you know but will send video of all cars it does not know to your mobile it also stores video to an SD card and also option to go to a uk monitoring station
  17. Ok what is the rod going to connect to on the tree? Can I also point out in ops picture ... the lights are not on which points to having some sort of switch Separating power feeds first is best. Then I would remove all bnc from dvr and check voltage on each one. I would also then touch dvr with all bnc disconnected to see if the shock problem has gone. And I also suspect the power is from generator and not grid. But I’ll leave the post to you as pointless turning them into augments

    Hi. Dan. What are you going to protect with your cameras ...... Indoor .... Outdoor ..... Large space .... Cars ? If your on solar then cam with SD card and 4-5g network are not that expensive .... What is your budget
  19. Hi. I don't understand why an earth rod at the tree. To sort out your problem you need to swap out the one plug top for .... Each appliance having its own with fuse.
  20. Don’t know why wrong type of forum dahua cctv. You need to go into your unit via pc or laptop and change screen settings sounds like your too high ... top of head 800x600
