  1. Again it's a monitor problem. TV or monitor .... It's the same thing. But you have answered your own question. Points to monitor settings .

    Video balun not working right

    It has been explained to you in your other post. Now you have wasted more money by buying the wrong baluns You need to stop thinking you have a network connector on the end of your cables ... YOU don’t Still don’t understand why you are wasting time on 380tvl cameras Chop the connectors off your cables so you can’t get confused anymore. And if you follow instructions you could spend 10 minutes each camer and have it done

    swann DVR4-1350 remote access

    Hi. You need to switch off mobile data on your phone to set p2p Needs to be done from dvr local network. Once up and running then you can use mobile data. How long have you had your dvr4 ??? The app you have listed does not support the 1350. Your setup QR code is not on the box ..... It is displayed on the screen when internet connection is set.

    I can't believe it

    Hi. That is far from being perfect Also people don’t want usb cameras ...... 5v so no distance and ip or bnc is the normal
  11. Hi. I have a 8way in DC at a Irish bar. Never had any problems... but I was under licence via a test company ... I’m based UK. Virgins / West Virginia / DC all close but very different regulations low voltage is only needed on commercial installs and another state might need low voltage for both domestic and commercial. In your case in DC you might only need licence for networking/ LAN infrastructure and not for plug play Poe ip systems. Or you could just use a licenced low voltage contractor to install cables only to get past the regulations
  12. Hi. Two types of analog..... Standard analog D1 960h which is old and no longer used. And analog HD 720 or 1080 . In formats CVI or TVI or AHD r SDI Most being 2mp some now upto 4mp And then you have IP systems 1.3mp right up to 29mp or above. Both system types are good ......and IP is much easier to install for the DIYer .......1 cat5 to each camera ...also does the power Analog HD is coax and power cable Price wise there is not much differance......analog HD also needs camera power supplies so is not as clean and tidy as you have with IP. Some of the long timers on here will also tell you years ago a system would last you 5 to 10 years. But now that is not the case .....cvi tvi ahd keeps changing so your system can be out of date in 1 to 2 years ......take hikvision and there tvi system ......first you had tvi now we have tvi3 but each system is not compatable so to upgrade its a new complete system. IP has still got the edge on analog HD as to upgrade is only software updates on both the NVR and cameras. IP also gives you a fall back.......if your NVR goes bad you can still access cameras and record via PC (when local network is created) I would look at installing yourself and saves money. Look at the lorex IP systems. We have there IP system running for over 4 years with no problems.
  13. Hi. You should not port forward port 80. Give your recorder a new port use something like 5550
  14. Hi. Eithernet over power make installing IP into lifts a lot easier
  15. Arent those little guys i posted the same thing? They look it. Negative and positive terminal to a bnc connection on other side. Also what color strands do i insert into the balun? No what you have posted are not baluns...... Sold on the net as baluns ....but 100% are not. I would use 1 pair for video Blue ..... To + Blue/white to - Then split rest for power
  16. Hi yes you would need this type of balun https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GJISLDY/ref=mp_s_a_1_37?ie=UTF8&qid=1506438731&sr=8-37&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=baluns The BNC connector in your picture is not a balun
  17. Hi. What type of environment is the system used in. What make are your cameras and recorder.
  18. Hi. Yes you have to buy for the camera ..... It also does the power so you need the right connections on the rj45. But at $19 each ...... It is best to just buy cameras and use the existing cables There is no point spending $19 on each camera that is only 380 TVL plus the problem you might have with the cameras being 100ohm....... CCTV is 75ohm For an extra $2 https://www.amazon.com/Amcrest-AMC960HDC36-W-Weatherproof-coaxial-included/dp/B00YZF8D28/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1506375551&sr=1-6&keywords=CCTV+960h+cameras+amcrest

  20. Hi. You will need the kit to alter ....... But at $19 each I would buy one and take it apart to find the pinout then make your own
  21. Hi. Old analog Samsung ..... No IP cameras involved. How many cameras have the rg45 plugs ?? It can be done ....but the problem with the old Samsung cameras is there 100ohms It might be better to change the cameras with the rj45 and still use the existing cable

    CCTV Sytem recommendation

    Sorry I should have mentioned I'm from the UK. Thanks for the response though I would start by giving Henry at CCTV42.co.uk a call. Good guy and will give you lots of advice. Don't think so
  23. Hi. You are best posting pictures of what you have. It sounds like some of your cameras are on baluns.... But need to see pictures
  24. I take it your only here to advertise. Read my first post to you ... yes direct replacement. Laview don’t make ... they just rebadge. So your old system might not be the same as there new one... so you might have to re learn. Don’t let something as little stress you out
  25. Lasts 18 months and your happy to buy that brand again ...... As far as learning..... how do you know ? Since you will be away ... remote apps are easy to learn.
