    Camera Filter IR or Something Else

    Hi. It's just a cheap camera without day night it's staying colour
  3. How does it work with the dahua app .... as in door bell alerts and snap shot
  4. Hi. It depends on how you want to control it. 20 year old cam .... You need something with old serial connector or a Manchester box to be able to have protocol It would be cheaper and easier to make you own push button switch. It's ok buying the old stuff cheap ....... But costs a lot to be able to run on modern equipment. Serial to USB and find a programme to control is also another option. Something like moxa. But is it worth it

    Lorex 4K Kit LNR6826KP

    Hi. No you only need 1 set of power line adapter....... Poe switch in man cave to take your two cameras ..... They will link back to NVR with just the one power line Bandwidth is not a problem as cams are h265 Backing up that's free from lorex If you have Swann it's going to look like a toy compared to the LNR6826KP Night vision is colour. For your cat5 cable in uk it is getting expensive but a good outlet is tool station and is good cable. https://www.toolstation.com/shop/p72918?table=no

    Lorex 4K Kit LNR6826KP

    Hi . Yes that will work .... But even better if power line is direct to NVR than going to router then NVR. Also don't buy cheap power line or you will have to lower res on man cave cameras ...... Go for something like the netgear 1200 or even better go with the netgear 1200 wifi. This will allow wifi at man cave for laptop or mobile devices

    What recorder and PTZ are you using ? The EVO app is out of date and has not been updated for over 2 years

    Hikvision US or Non US

    LTS is an authorized Hik distributor if you want to buy Hik labeled items they have them as well. They are about 25% more expensive than their LTS branded cameras. At least do a google search of their site. Oem your right cheaper than hik .... but there not hik. It like I said it’s not about sales it’s about value and system that is right for the install . LTS does not offer cloud and for a vacation home which is empty cloud is a extra security value
  11. Hi. You will need to setup recording via a pc ( yell camera what to do) But a SD card on a ptz Is like putting a snooze button on a smoke detector ...... pointless Ptz moves all the time so setting up motion detection does not work. ..... you are limited to how many hours of footage not days. If something happends the footage has over written

  13. Hi. You need to set the doorbell up manually in your router ....... in the ip range of your cameras on your nvr. ...... but you will loose some doorbell functions like alerts as your only pulling video Changing nvr is not a option your cheapest way is to send back your doorbell and buy the dahua one. This way you have control a cross all platforms and apps ...... plus you only need the one app .......click home on mobile app and see doorbell setup

    IDMSS won't PTZ on iphone

    Hi ... now try app just updated app was replaced 3 days ago and again was updated this morning so you need to update the app
  15. tomcctv

    Help please

    Wow QED manchester I have not seen on of them in years. Unfortunately it has come to the end of its life .... no support for old cif systems. DVRS are not expensive in the uk look for a qvis Quattro or a viper dvr it will be a direct replacement for your old qed unit and will run you existing cameras and will take the new hd such as cvi tvi ahd ip And both will also run on Mac

    Hikvision US or Non US

    Again buy true hikvision Hik are changing software to stop gray and in authorised oem. You only have to look on the forum lately to see people are loosing connection to vms ..... and also there remote service .... for a vocation home the last thing you need is the system down and you know nothing about it. Dahua or hikvision...... we use dahua flir . More reliable than hik ... there cloud service is America based making it more secure But as your diy installer it’s not just about the camera make as your not going to see any difference it’s about what the product can do. Vacation home cloud service is something that will benefit you with not always being there. Always two days of backup footage is there if anything happends

    Hikvision US or Non US

    Hi. If you are set on hikvision I would also stick with a genuine USA dealer. But as there cameras ar good there NVRs are not the best choice. I would also look at flir systems (dahua) and with it being for a vacation home I would also look at cloud backup which is offered free from flir ......always have 2 days of backup in case recorder is stolen
  18. Hi. Yes a 4 way will do the job I would use 3 analog HD cameras and 1 analog HD mini ptz. (Fits in palm of hand). Fixed clamp one end but other is different on each job size and you don’t want to be moving 1 camera view bt hand on different size jobs ....... operator cam move it via mouse at pc station. I would also look at 4 in 1 camera. .... cvi tvi ahd 960 Because of speeds involved you will have a choice on what HD format ... again controlled by mouse at pc station. I would look at qvis Quattro 5 and qvis 4 in 1 steel turret cameras and there mini ptz 4 in 1 all 2 mp. Looking at a budget of £400 to £450
  19. Hi. Are you looking at using this unit ? It has no support for any new ip....analog side is only 4cif 7fps Many people are throwing them away ... I would not waste money on it
  20. Hi. 5 years old you need there old cms 2.0 3.0 or HD will not work with your dvr

    QVIS Quatro locked

    Hi switch off for 20 mins then back on and enter the right password
  22. Who’s cms are you using ..... and how old is your recorder
  23. Hi. It will work with a few apps but you are taking away the p2p setup by creating your own ip with using a ddns service .... (your recorder has its own ddns) Explore app also works well and also dahua apps ..... dahua needs port changing. Try explorer app and scan qr code ... that’s all you need to do
  24. Hi. If you go to main menu then click on guide and follow what is on screen. You need to download Xmeye app first
  25. Hi. I would forget them part numbers .... there is no point to even think of buying IP cameras and then only using the bnc out .... and you will still get the lag How big is your cnc ..... is it open or covered machine
