  1. Hi. 720 is the low end ..... look at 1080 You can just replace your dvr with this and still use your existing cameras and replace later https://www.lorextechnology.com/security-dvr-and-surveillance-dvr/lhv2000-series-high-definition-digital-video-recorder/LHV21081TW-1-p Or this as a complete system. https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-dvr-security-system/4mp-hd-camera-home-security-system/MPX2K88-1-p

    Rate this surveillance system?

    Hi. State of the art system as they state on there website. 720tvl was in 2011 No ONE installs analog anymore. Did you even ask who makes it Ask for a link to there dvr app see how that is. Up to now I give them a 1
  6. Go look back in forum about 10 years...... Been to China many times.........I buy direct from a name brand. Cameras has got smaller and neater........which is something customers look for Your swan camera has gone backwards ...... Not something I would or could sell to install in a house ..... It's ugly CCTV is CCTV If people want gas detection .......then my advice is to use something that is fit for its job. Gas. carbon monoxide Alarms I would surgest using a brand name device which ARE proven life saving devices.
  7. Well that did not take long to admit your a spammer You might be swan ..... but to use a package design and logo from a real company like Swann...... just shows what kind of company people are best not dealing with. So basically it's like adding extra to your system........the same as using a standard system then adding alarm sensors for gas / motion / alarm A holiday ...... China or myrtle beach... myrtle beach wins

    Basic Domestic CCTV - How?

    Hi. To value safety then recording is important...... If you can't look back after a problem it's pointless. Colour dome with IR and a dvr is not going to break the bank. As far as getting picture to her tv .....you would use the existing cable so place the dvr by the tv. The black / white box you talk about ... Will not work with new smart TVs. But most smart TVs now have p in p ....picture in picture so you only need to connect dvr to a HDMI input.
  9. Hi go to local recordings ...... then press select in top right of app .... then click on which files you want to remove .... then click the bin at bottom right on app
  10. Hi what are you connecting it too. Rs 485 out is all you need if direct to camera

    BOSCH MIC Cable type 12 core

    Hi. Shelled multi core ...... But you need to say which model you have to work out the gage. 12v or 24v
  12. Hi. Yes it is simple ...... connect dvr to your router... then go into menu of your dvr and select guide from the menu. Follow instructions ..... if you don't have qr reader on your pad then download xmeye app onto your pad . At app setup click local or if you want to view from anywhere click cloud

    New system.....new questions??

    Hi if using sequence the two not used channels must be switched off. To give it a smooth switching. How is the 2k image
  14. This is not the first time a company has tried to build an all in one camera with fire or gas detection. Someone even built smoke detector into a standard light bulb. None worked Your listed system ........ 90% of people install cameras outside so why buy a 4 cam gas detect system Then your pir detection .... no setting at dvr only at camera..... hence why no one has fitted one before ..... with everything built into camera how do you turn the functions off via dvr siren built into camera. All these functions on a outdoor camera is something no one wants. Pointless If you want cctv ...... buy cctv If you want house alarm ..... but a house alarm Gas / fire detection ....... buy a good brand trusted detector But ..... why would anyone buy from a cctv name that copy the Swann packaging design but only change the name This crap system is from ....... swan Removing a N from SWANN . Does not make it a Swann so no the posted system is not in Costco like you state

    Falcon or Hikvision DVR?

    Hi. I ment your falcon and hik links. Your pro had a lot of functions .... did you use any of them or just use as a recorder. Even just changing the recorder from a aver to the qvis is going to give you better images as the aver only displayed in cif The pioneer Quattro 5 will run all format of cameras cvi tvi AHD ip ..... all digital and in there mp res .... it will also run your existing cameras in d1 which you aver could not do. The only problem you will have is your existing ip cameras. 1.3mp with no onvif support But with cvi and tvi cameras being so cheap and are 2 and 4mp it would be best to replace them. And you would not need the switch that is used along side your aver. What type of business are you.
  24. Hi. Please edit all your pictures ..... Remove them all as you have opened all your settings to everyone. Setup manual. BT hub is easy to portforward. And you will have a static address. Go to my IP www.myip.com And Wright down the IP address shown on top of the page ......that is your external IP DONT post it on here. We're are you based

    Falcon or Hikvision DVR?

    As you can see from the forum I have been selling and installing avermedia for over 15 years. And your link is not even close to some of the avers. Qvis I have been buying for over 20 years and never sent a unit back. Only last Monday late evening a customer had 2 qvis tvi cameras shot out with air rifle and the £29 cameras stood up to it .....smashed glass and IR board but still was able to record. Qvis are manufactures not installers and the longest running CCTV company in the uk.
