    Design Thoughts

    Another thing is the software can’t tell you the performance of a camera Using dome cameras will be a big mistake. You came on asking for advice and your getting the run around over design software for a home Again like in another post the software is having cameras away from the house and only at garden Software is wrong for 8mp which is over kill It says nothing of IR Says nothing of the recording device (which is important) I would stop wasting time on software and look into products Start by changing from dome to turret cameras

    Camera positioning sugestions

    One thing you forget other than bad guys........ sorry but your design is crap all about sales. So your design software does not see entrances windows or other entrances as a problem area. Let’s take away you gun happy threats and get into the real world .... like scum looking in windows or trying doors. Cameras should be used to see entrance points into a home no point spending money on a system to have cameras pointing into garden area ...... evidence collection is more important

    DVR; low space for footage

    Hi. What country are you in that states 30 days recording .... are you a home or business? You are only D1 so if your looking at lowering recorder settings to allow more hard drive space then you recordings will be useless Look at putting bigger hard drives

    Let it snow

    Hi. There is nothing you can do Motion direct from camera view is none controllable.......... If your recorder has alarm inputs you could use a PIR for detection
  5. You have it the wrong way around backstreet is the low end he just rebades cameras and recorders the others manufacture.

    Lorex NVR

    Why does his demos show 90% dahua ....... and then put same equipment down with lorex name .... guy has no clue. Guy lives in a dream world if he thinks he is better than flir. Just because he sticks a badge on cameras and recorders does not mean he manufactures them. Better than flir yet he manufactures nothing and sells dahua
  7. Hi. I would go CVI cameras with cvi / analog dvr so you can still use your old cameras as well .. for cnc machine look for motorised lens. Since you might have different size objects in your cnc that will allow you to control focus and zoom from the recorder.
  8. Hi. I would remove drain down pipe and drill hole that way you won’t see cables once drain pipe is re fitted. I would not do to much reading ...... I don’t see why anyone would think there is a problem drilling cold siding....... drill bit will generate heat as soon as you start to drill
  9. Hi do you have the hibo? And we’re are you based

    Looking for PTZ suggestions

    Hi. Save your money......... manufacturing of PTZs and NVR is the first crap he typed ...... don’t feed the spammer
  11. Old analog is not used anymore and 100% old analog is not sold by hikvision. Tvi and cvi is HD analog and needs cvi or tvi recorder to be able to work
  12. Hi. Would it not be easier to use a POE switch
  13. Hi. Have you changed your cameras from mjpeg to h264 ...... you need to change settings on camera. That nvr does not support anything other than h264-h265

    DVR in attic?

    Hi. The problem with remote clients is there nothing like the on screen display. If you can get a cat5 from loft to a tv in bedroom then you can transmit your HDMI to that for £10 For internet connection I would use netgear Ethernet over power for £24

    Powerline Mains Adaptors

    Hi. Nothing you have listed is comparable with each other Why are you not buying from the uk
  17. But as far as i can see DVR from Hikvision for example DS-7116HQHI-K1 does have TVI support. So i don't know why you said otherwise ? Hi in your first post .... changing recorders is not an option you said. I read it as getting more hikvision cameras .... which would be tvi since hik dropped analog ..... and your existing dvr will not run tvi

    Recommendations Please

    Hi. The lorex link you posted is a very good system. It is Infact a dahua 4K colour day and night system. Only problem with aliexpress and the likes is the warranty and future updates. Hikvision or dahua will not support products bought on aliexpress or Amazon......... The warranty is only with the person who sold it. And then you could have problems with gray market.
  20. Hi. Rain or snow does not have to have contact with sensor. .... so just sensor under cover will not help I would forget trying to get a pir sensor to work at that distance. I would look at GJD wireless pir heads. Very reliable and last 4 years on one 9v standard battery Mount pir at your gate ..... set detection patern..... also control on and off and schedule from recorder http://www.gjd.co.uk/products/wireless-detectors

    Looking for a budget 1-2 camera starter system

    Hi. What is your budget ? I would also look at 4 cameras being your minimum...... having 4 blocks on your monitor and only two showing cameras
  22. Hi. Going from 850nm to 930nm does not work also 930 will be a expensive IR laminator 930 is always half of what you will get from 850 I would look at just replacing your camera for a starlight
  23. Hi. If your camera works on another cable then the cable that is used once on wall is bad ..... how did you test it ? Also what is the distance of that cable ..... did you make it or pre made
  24. Don’t go SDI ... just wasting your money

    Some time, if you already got current camera, you could consider to have enhancement with camera housings with internal infrared. As for you requirements, I think infrared about 30, 50 meter could solve your current needs.
