    Soffit installation

    Hi. Don't remove any pvc ........ Looks like the front of your house has had a conversation from garage to an extra room. I would keep it simple and drill a hole where you want your camera ..... 2inch then I would insert 6inch length of 1 an half inch square wood ..... Run two screws into pvc then into wood ....... Keeping the two screws within the diameter of your camera base so cam covers them. Quick draw.
  3. Hi. Also go into dvr settings and see if your set for PAL or NTSC That would also make your images look like that.

    Poor Picture on one camera

    Hi what size power supply NkioEdQoWc4
  5. Hi. What you are doing wrong is buying cheap $20 crap. I would not take any notice of your NVR being ONVIF or not even the latest. Cameras could also be a problem ..... If you have bought China copy of Foscam or hik......again ONVIF comparability problems. Try using the rstp feeds from your cameras. Also the N6200-8E needs to be told which resolution output you want to use
  6. So you think all 8 cameras each blew their own power adapter at the exact same time since having them 7 years ago? that seems too unlikely to me Hi.yes it sounds like a power supply problem ..... you have 1 box you say that powers the cameras ... sounds like is is starting to fail. I would also look at a better hard drive 250 for 8 cameras ?

    Newbie with DNS questions

    Hi. A good installer would set up a DDNS service in your name and let you set your own passwords. Have you asked your ISP if they do a static IP address .....sometimes there free or some charge a small fee. But before setting another up I would change your recorder passwords and give it another local IP .... To block the existing DDNS service.

    Remote monitoring

    Hi. Your lg is client based ..... So you will not have support anymore with the age of your unit. No point spending any time of money on a CIF based recorder

    POe switcher for time changing cameras

    Hi. No. Poe switch to camera and network cable to router.... Leave NVR out till you have altered camera settings. You would access your camera via PC browser using the IP address for the camera. How did you first setup your viper unit ? Did you setup NVR first and set all the time and date. Or did you connect everything then setup time and date. What are your settings on the time menu.

    Viewing Cameras from Taiwan

    Hi. Have your client use the IP address instead of the DDNS account. Send him the static address of the NVR network.
  18. Hi. Yes you are right on impedance. Coax is made in 50 or 75ohm 75 is standard for CCTV Cat cable and alarm cable or just normal cable is all 100ohm. That is why we have baluns .......the baluns job is to change the cable from 100 to 75ohm .... Or conversation of unbalanced to balanced
  19. Hi did not work in which aspect ? How are you powering camera Do any lights come on at camera Also which standard did you use for your rj45. In first place A or B
  20. Wow. Why come on to a CCTV forum and then shut down the advice. You only need cat5 cable ..... Works for every installer with any camera. Your cameras are tvi ...... If you don't wish to install with that technology then use a pair of cat5 for audio. But save yourself a phone call to tech and look at the back of your dvr .........only 4 audio inputs. ....... You have 10 audio cameras You only need a reel of standard cat5 Baluns HD type And that is all you need
  21. The software on the camera will and would not cost you the $60 when your demo runs out
  22. It is correct ........ The reason why your camera also has audio out is if it is connected to a dvr that does not support audio over coax But your system does ...... It's up to you if you want to waste money running cable for audio ... When it's standard. It is split at the dvr as data.....digital.......video is 1 signal audio is another and also with your dvr you also send digital signal Back to camera for OSD settings....... All down one coax. You can also Run all your cameras down 2 coax.......that's digital Saves cost and saves running cables ........ From memory on your dvr you only have 4 audio if you used the RCA on back of unit .........so you have already wasted money on buying 10 cams with audio.
  23. That explains it maplins B grade ...... End of line ...... Lorex finning he'd it in late 2015. Why have you chosen to use sighthound and not use the free software that is will the camera
  24. Hi. Andy. Did you buy secondhand ? That is a old IP camera not even ONVIF supported. Have you tried and software from dahua
  25. Hi ... your listed cameras send video and audio together down the same cable... coax or cat5. But you need to check that the night owl LITE dvr supports it
