    Off Grid Solar CCTV - motion detection.

    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
  2. 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.

    Want to catch the clown trying to break in

    Hi. I would give Amazon and the likes a miss ......systems need upgrades and support. Installing yourself I would go IP with NVR with built in POE ...... No messing around with getting coax and power to cameras and installing power supplies. 1 cat5 to each camera is all you need Plug and play for full setup for cameras remote cell viewing and cloud backup. https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/hd-security-camera-system-with-2k-recorder-weatherproof-cameras/LN10802-84W-1-p
  8. Yes I know you don’t have regulations there .... and I do know not to question your installers can lead to more problems. But one thing I would surgest is the plug top that has all the feeds from it ..... I would split that up into 4 plug tops ..... plug tops with a fuse .... your installers have done it that way for expense ..... plug tops are expensive there . As far as being on a tree again it’s standard practice there to mount power outdoors ..... no need to worry about wet weather or earthing You don’t see earthing till you get into builtup towns or the city Does your property have an earth rod Also when touching your dvr is it static or electric

    Please help me select a PTZ auto tracking camera

    Hi. Australia the land of expensive. The dahua is a good camera but useless just like the hikvision if being used as the only camera. Auto track never works.... the videos make it look good but there not What type of site are you protecting .... how big ..... is it open space ? SD card recording on a ptz is pointless and will let you down ..... on a fixed camera it’s ok for short footage backup but ptz moves all the time day and night 3&4g for what you are going to pay in Australia will be expensive you might want to look at a carrier that offers security sims and only pay a subscription like regular broadband I would look at using more cameras than auto track .... it will protect more ..... and also have a recorder on site so as you can have much more video storage. I know cctv options are limited in Australia and is expensive but what part are you in Australia
  10. Hi. A lot has changed in 3 years with pss. The login is the same and it’s local ...... meaning wrong password or forgotten .... uninstall pss and reinstall again
  11. Hi in your first post you said still getting screen display ..... which is a sign of power supply problems All play back is working also means camera power supply How did you test power supply ..... how many do you have ..... one for each camera or box type
  12. From what I can make out .... 4 AC going out ..... 2 of the AC are going to power two 12v 2 amp power supplies and the other two are staying AC to power LED lighting. Two cameras and two flood lights No earthing at all

    HDCVI CAMERA. Dahua.

    Hi. You need to connect to the cam via CVBS then go into menu and change from HD to SD
  17. . Hi. That depends on your settings 12tb you should get between 2 and 3 weeks. And also how much motion is picked up by cameras. With your system ....you should look at H265 ..... But if your cameras are set to H264 it will eat away your storage (yours does both)

    Expandable IP Security Camera System

    Hi . No you can't update via the lorex . .... Your q-see camera is a dahua and your lorex is also a dahua. Dahua have sent firmware for all NVRs and cameras and requires a full setup again once done. All dahua devices require 8 characters in password with numbers letters and 8 and above long ..... This also applies to IP cameras to connect
  19. Hi. Dahua have put a lot of security into there products and if you have not updated your NVRs in the past month then you need to. You can do all your settings from smart PSS buy using p2p on all recorders (but needs new firmware first) if you are using dahua bbns service you have to delete those accounts

    Help with annoying pests

    Hi. You will have to tell us your budget .. With saying 240v are you in the UK. If so. Bad footage can not help you .... It needs to be clear and adle to identify. So on a budget don't waste buying crap. Along with your footage I would also have audio
  25. Hi. Did you install this system ..... 2 pages of posts with wrong information Why are you now talking ptz data and why are the protocols set ? Protocols should be set to none Unless you are using PTZs Can you list cam model and recorder model
