  1. New software October 2017 Your link is old .... so not working .... what problem are you having ...... it’s not working. Are you in the uk ? Static ip is better and safer. Your dvr will supply you with the viewer .... you don’t need to go China server to use it
  2. Hi. Why use a China server to connect to your own system Also the address you are using is down anyway. Use my-ip at home to find your IP address and try that on your pc away from home

    Help for 1st Time System

    Hi. That is a pointless system ..... just think about basics ..... rechargeable cameras....... so for hours your camera has been taken down just to charge it. Means no protection while on charge What are you going to do if you go on holiday or spend a weekend away. You can’t Evan add other cameras to that system other than the recharge cams...... new idea but useless Take a look at this one https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/4-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/HDIP44D-1-p

    swann system

    Hi. Auto tracking PTZ cameras are a waste of time and they miss most of the footage you might need. Your system is 720p analog HD so that camera would not work on your system.

    Help for 1st Time System

    Hi. There is not much advice when you have such a low budget. Look for a lorex ip based system. Also use a nvr ..... going with SD card will limit your storage and like you have said you have traffic on two of your cameras and that will fill your SD in no time

    Did you answer the questions
  7. Hi. Cable is not for cctv .... 75ohm you need Paint over cable is going to look a mess plus terminating at ends is also going to be a mess Use cat5 and cover cable with moulding
  8. Black and white 320tvl cameras on new dvr massive waste of money picture quality we be just a waste of time.
  9. Hi. Why not just buy ip camera instead of using encoders

    Rolling Camera Picture

    Hi. Sounds like a phase problem. How far is the pool house from house ... with you having two cat cables can you not use 1 cat for the 3 cameras and the other cat just for power.
  11. With being on coax and only on standard analog you will need to do more than just power
  12. Hi what format of camera did you install at the gate

    You mean posted wrong drawing ..... you still can’t do rs485 on the drawing you sent

    Pan and Tilt

    Wow you just don’t give up do you ...... look at pan and tilt it says 220v. Also ptz head supples camera voltage which as you have seen from your spec is also 220v Low and high voltage together is not spec now as heads now are either 12v or 24v and has common protocols and rs485 and you can pic them up for $40 - $50 That head is too old ...... any tech guy with any sense will buy a new head instead of looking at spending on manchester box or vcl control unit See the spec you posted pan 220v tilt 220v
  15. tomcctv

    Pan and Tilt

    Yes your new ..... it tells you the voltage in the diagram 220v And you can’t control that with rs485 that head is too old for rs485 It does not even have the hardware for rs485 it’s too old Link power for camera to be attached is also 220v which is not used no more and hasn’t for over 10 years. Your tech support for a company that started back in 2005 Why is it so hard to understand that head is too old and does not conform
  16. tomcctv

    Pan and Tilt

    You must be new to tech support Again head unit you listed CAN NOT be rs485 controlled without control box ..... 220v is none compliant anymore on head units And like already said it’s cheaper to go new ptz than to buy a manchester box or control box ...... and your also going to get stuck when it comes to the protocol
  17. Hi. Please stay away from Samsung over priced and one of your requirements was for good remote viewing which Samsung is not good at doing Plus for that price you can have 3 hikvision PTZ Also the size of your yard you will be better with a hybrid dvr which is a mix of cameras tvi cvi ip ahd Ip cable distance is 100m cvi tvi ahd is over 1000m Where are you located and I will send a link
  18. Yes the door app is for access control.........but will work also if your using dahua cameras...... You can use 3rd party locks.... Or just use a magnetic door contactor on any door and get alerts when door is opened
  19. Hi. How big is your yard . With your budget you can also add a couple of PTZ cameras
  20. Hi. Lorex rep gave you wrong info.... because they do. I would say go 5mp instead of 4K You are not Going to get 4K with remote view Are you uk based ?
  21. Hi. Are you looking at unlocking a door ?? You will need to build a door lock relay. The door icon you have is for dahua door entry control

    Hi. 100m what type of power supply are you using
  23. tomcctv

    Neighbor surveillance including my property

    Hi. Always two sides to a story you say your next door are not happy about what you do in your garage. You will know what the complaint is as you have had letters off next door and landlord and police But you don’t tell what it is you do in your garage. Next door now have a camera looking at your garage he has probably been told by police to collect footage and make a log of anything going on

    You can also say no to a customer ...... why do something that is no longer allowed...... that’s the point in electrical code. For a tech guy ..... is it not simpler and better business practice to just buy a new head unit.... something with rs485 and be able to use hd or analog camera instead of using old 220v analog cameras How will you control the head and camera ...... dvr or pc or controller.

    Hi. Your first post says your tech support RS485 is just a relay box ??? No relays used it’s a digital signal Your head does not even have RS485 and is listed as 220v only Again it’s too old and not to regulation It can be done with a control box (Manchester box) but the cost makes no sense when you can buy a ptz cheaper
