Hi. Looks like you are in the uk. 2k is a good budget can even go 16 cam 4mp with that budget. Just a few problems .... BT pole you want to attach cameras ...... will cost you twice your budget in fines ...... you can’t attach to any BT pole in uk. Nothing stopping you from adding your own pole ..... and also within your budget you could have a ptz to cover car park area. You seem to have the outdoors covered. But nothing for internal . Are you a low value warehouse or high.? With your budget I would go 16 cameras

Hi. Yes you must format on the recorder. If you think of formatting as telling your recorder what to do with it’s data

Hi. Was it new ? Did you do HDrive format

Hi. Does your recorder have a hard drive fitted ?

Hi. We need more info. How many cameras and which formats..... you have analog cams listed but using a hybrid recorder. Nothing wrong with dahua .... and as far as going hikvision you have nothing that supports tvi

Guess your a amateur........ a pro would not spam a CCTV forum with your crap

Hi. You can’t even give them recorders away. Too old to use and a password is only one problem .... licence is also needed and you can’t get licence it’s too old Did it come with H-drives ?

That would be a waste of 5 hours out of your life and a waste of time for a home user.

Hi. Is your camera connected to the nvr ?

Yes your last post was crap....... it does not happen. But why are you using shelded 18g for power ??? If your using cat 5 for 3 cameras ..... how are you terminating the ends ?

Hi. That was brave to wright so much crap. 1000s of engineers use cat5 in alsorts of environments and not have that problem..... as it does not exist. What size cat5 are you using How many pairs are you using for video How many pairs are you using for power What is camera distance ? Ground loop is mainly coax using cat5 it does not exist so what type of baluns are you using

Hi the head is the pan tilt unit. For something out of a bin you will need to spend some money

Hi. 110v -240v camera and head .... not used anymore and will not work with modern systems. Cam is only 380tvl so the money you are going to need to spend to get control bac and plugs makes it not worth it.

Hi. DVR is 12v ....... the 24v is for your cameras as they are duel power.

Hi. Do not buy from that website.... company is about to be closed. It is about to be struck off from company house. For no accounts. Also don’t buy China copy hikvision again you will just be wasting money

Buy a security camcorder.... Spammers don’t even have a clue on what they sell Your company name says so much about you

Not yours

Hi. Looking at your cable ..... does the brade have another cable in the middle ? Tvi sould be on 75ohm ..... coax or use of baluns If you can replace some of the cables then I would.

Qvis is good equipment.... longest running distributors in the uk and a good tech team that know there products. I have never sent anything back warranty wise . And I have been using them for years Ip setup is the same as any other except qvis have also invested in the own monitoring and ddns giving better security to your systems.

We’re was you attacked . It’s the wireless battery system that’s attacked You are right we can all disagree and make own minds up. People who buy there first system always make a mistake if they don’t do homework. You seem to be letting the fact that blown installation is your main problem Cable rods is the simple answer

Hi. Cheap China cameras can give lots of problems .... one is the power neutral and video neutral use the same cable which is not good 3 cameras down 1 cat5 and only 1 pair for power..... your giving yourself a problem. Installing without baluns on cat5. ..... well you have problems

Why even try ...... you have more than a capacitor problem. You also have track burn out

Hi. Wireless system on 3000 + sq ft you will be lucky to get cameras to work Ok 5 days away .... who will charge the cameras ??? Ip camera system I listed why do you need to run cables everywhere? Your link is only for two cameras buying two extra to make it 4 cam system is a lot more than your budget Wireless does not work and now with stupid rechargeable cameras is just wasting money. Sit back and have a coffee ..... ask yourself ...... how long do you want the system to last ? Can you buy a camera in 12 months if one fails What is life time of batteries with charging all the time. Do you want security that will last years or waste money every few years

Hi. You might not need anything in the lock box as you also have to take into account of the natural heat generated by the recorder. But if you do need a little heat you need it to be controlled or you will fry hard drive. The easy way is a cool and heat kit .... also known as camera housing heater and very cheap to buy
