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

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

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

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

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

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

Just look at building your own cloud And not have any fees or problems A lot of manufacturers offer a few days cloud back up. Likes of lorex and qvis ... and cloud is based in the same country you purchase in. No name China with there cloud is often in China

Hi. No it’s not right ...... how are cameras connected at back of dvr ... can’t see any coax at tree

Hi. You also need to look st camera power supply are they working

Hi. You need to connect to the cam via CVBS then go into menu and change from HD to SD

. 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)

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

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

Hi. With you getting the start screen it sounds like your monitor might be out of range What monitor are you using

Hi. You will need to update your q-see firmware to work on the lorex to allow security patch. You need to down load q-see config tool to your PC first

He has put your windows in He has stabbed someone And you want to only show him your footage ? How much did it cost you to replace the window last time £60 -$70 is not much of a budget Cameras behind glass. Never works ... Image will be useless This is ideal for you but £20 over your budget. ..... But at least you will not be wasting the little budget you do have. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/smart-tech/smart-tech/smart-home/ring-video-doorbell-satin-nickel-10145936-pdt.html

Hi. Lorex ONVIF works well and upto date. What make of camera was you using ?

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

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

Hi. Take a look at Synology NAS .... Lots of users on the forum We use personal cloud. Works the same way You only need Internet if you want to save the data off site But there are a few ways of doing it if on a budget ......you have the Swann NVR ..... You could set up a second NVR at home or in another country With the personal cloud we use ...... We have 4 cameras 60 mile away collecting licence plates and colour of vehicles..... That data is sent back via 4g both video and snapshot

Thank you, exactly what I needed Hi. The LTS system at 16 cameras will only run 4 at 8mp and the rest at 1080p ...... so there is no point having 12 x 8mp cameras that you can’t run at there best and those 12 camera would of been a waste of money

One of your nvr option you listed is a flir unit What feature of FLIR addresses the requirements? Hi. The FLIR will do everything your asking and a lot more than the other one listed. Coming on the forum has just saved you over $1.200 As the other option will not run all 8mp cameras

One of your nvr option you listed is a flir unit

Web storage via paid internet site ....... is basically your renting space on someone else’s server.... there are lots of ways to set it up....... you could even ask a member of your family to host space on there pc / server Or use your own and have it local .... hidden in loft .... you only need a hard drive hub connected to your router...... and you can access that local without any internet or you can make it available over wan. Always safer to build your own and better and no stupid monthly costs for each camera . And also paid cloud is like giving a stranger access to your camera system

Hi. From your links and your requirements the flir is the only option. When you say public space ....... outdoors only or hallways as well I would look at turret cameras instead of dome
