    IP Camera video storage at home

    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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. One of your nvr option you listed is a flir unit

    IP Camera video storage at home

    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
  6. 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
  7. Can I ask what you have the data connected too if it’s using menu
  8. I found the problem. Port 37777 was not open. Now everything works fine with idmss lite too. Good. Remember to copy the QR code from your unit and keep it safe. You need it if you loose password
  9. Hi. Then you have a configuration problem if you can't connect to that .. Can you post a pic of your network page.
  10. Hi. Ok do a test this is the old app for 3rd party OEM see if you can connect. EVOHD LITE by Bydemes https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/evohd-lite/id522581739?mt=8
  11. Everything that has additional power pull like IR or filter move yes needs more power .....not a lot and not long term but it will pull more ..... Called surge But you are missing the point. 0.7 amp power supply 0.7 amp camera ......yes that's a match. But you have taken nothing into account ....... You have not taken into account cable length cable size (you say 26) and another you powered baluns (why buy baluns with lights on when it's never needed) there just cheap. 0.7amp at power supply ...... First balun power ...... 26cat .......second balun power ........ Will not give you 0.7 at camera. Baluns with a stupid gimmick lights that have no purpose. Cheap baluns ....... 26 cat........ Power supply at limit ........= cheap install no room for any allowance...... Let's say in a few weeks you go back and replace a camera with a 1 amp ........ You can't
  12. Do you have a dvr or NVR ? And is it a dauha.... How old is it
  13. The problem is you don't even try and see if it works ....... You are obsessed with 50.000 watts from a tower ...........and to be honest like you have just said in your last post if you move the camera by a inch might fix it....... Sit back in your chair and think about that . Something else you have posted 26 gauge cat5 ..... No repeatable CCTV engineer or network engineer would ever use that for an install ever Infact it has no reason to be in the industry anymore ..... We're am from licence does not allow it. And that problem also takes you back to the 0.7 amp using that cable makes it worse. Your using cvi cameras let me give you an example which might also let you think of your problem. A building with 4 cvi cameras on each corner ..... Say the minimum is 1 amp each that's 12v 4amp power supply ...... Not big enough. It might do the job and show a little interference nothing to be bothered about. But look at why there might be a little interference....... Cvi need a little more amps when it starts to work....... Cloud cover cam 1 person goes past cam 2 car goes past cam 3 .............all 3 cameras need a little more amp ..... Your power supply is already at its max but as cam 4 is not doing extra work it's amps will drop going to the rest of the cameras ....... Cam 4 has lost amps and that will show as interference......... Well not interference just not enough amps to run properly And it's the same with IR 4 cameras minimum 1 amp 12v 4amp power supply No allowance has been made for power surge ..... Two cams switch on IR at same time the other two will show a problem ...... Only for a second or so but a problem. Your system 16 cameras on 12v 12amp power supply only gives 0.75 amp each camera you are already at the max ...... You can under amp a cam but never over amp And before you sort any of that out. It does not matter how you see it.....it is under powered and on wrong cable and for $10 more for a 12v 40amp 16way power supply giving 2.5amp each camera ...... But your cat5 will be hard at that distance.... But like in my first post ...... On that camera change balun for none rj45 type use 1 pair for video not two ( you never use 2) and the rest on power with Screw on power plug and use 1 12v 5amp power supply for that camera Or go 24v AC at dvr end and convert back at cameras end .... That will also solve your problem
  14. I think it has nothing to do with my NVR. Cause when I click on + icon, idmss doen't know what will I add. I guess there is some problem with idmss lite. Hi. It can’t have anything to do with the app or everyone would have the problem You never answered password question If your not 8 or over or have a mix of letters and numbers it will not connect to the app
  15. How strong is your password it must contain letters and numbers and 8 and above characters How old is your NVR ......and have you had from new .
  16. Please don't .....you can't even install your own right. Wrong Infact it passes through the balun case nothing to do with balun. Use a good balun use proper power supply and it fixes 0.7amp over that distance is your problem But no 50.000 watts is your problem. Would it be easier for me to explain it to your customer....... Save them having to go through the cost of faraday crap
  17. Trust me no one want you to come in behind them for you to fix Can't wire a balun ..... Your own admition Don't understand power your own admition Faraday cages ....... That is the best .... If you do a line up of 5 installers I bet I could pic you out of the line You will be the one with tin foil on his head. And the sad thing is you don't agree with install standards
  18. Wow ..... 100s of cameras and you can't even wire up a balun Industry standards is 1 pair .... The right way and the only way for a balun to work Power ....... 16 at 10-12amp ........ You can't even figure that one out and over that distance. Faraday cage ..... Well I can guarantee you are the first in the whole wide world to do it. Biggest load of crap ever. And you call me condescending.......... And you can't even install to standard Power supply ...... 0.7 amp over that distance on each .......... You have not taken into account surge or IR ...... 0.7 amp is useless Let's do a pole baluns 1 pair or 2 for video .............answer 1 power is 0.7 amp good enough for long distance IR. .........answer no. Let's see what others say
  19. You can’t use two pair for video it does not work. Power supply is not good enough You need to sort out the basics first. Why use baluns that need to be powered just for status lights ..... power that is better used for camera. Baluns with lightning protection.... that is crap .... On that cam ..., use standard balun with no power use only 1 pair of cat5 and use the rest for power on a 12v 5amp power supply ....... power not going through balun .... use one without pig tail
  20. Hi. It is a security reminder to change the user name and password from default on your recorder or camera
  21. Your welcome gals to help ... Just to add .... going h264 will use your storage up quick with that many 8mp cameras .... just something to keep an eye on
  22. Hi..I would start by swapping the baluns .... your talking of 100m with power How many pairs is it using for power .... and why do you need fancy lights on a balun .... what size is your power supply amps Balun with lightning protection ??? You have honeycomb effect usually seen when a balun is not used

    Noob questions - Please assist me

    Hi. Watch nest change in next few months ...... Now in the hands of Google as of last week. For what you are looking for a NVR and IP cameras will do the same and you won't have the stupid monthly charges WHY do people think it's good to rent storage space for CCTV And let strangers see and hear you Look for a high MP camera 5 or 8mp if you want to zoom in later.
