    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.
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. The software on the camera will and would not cost you the $60 when your demo runs out
  10. 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.
  11. 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
  12. Hi. Andy. Did you buy secondhand ? That is a old IP camera not even ONVIF supported. Have you tried and software from dahua
  13. 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
  14. Hi. No need for extra cable as audio is with video data. Which recorder will you be using ? I would use cat5 cable with HD baluns.

    Lorex Quality Question

    Hi. With coax then look at the 1080p cvi system. https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-dvr-security-system/hd-1080p-4-camera-home-security-system/MPX84W-1-p You can still use your existing cameras with this unit ... so you can update the other 4 canes later

    Help Me Choose Proper Spec IR Iluminator!

    Hi. Your cam has a fixed 130 deg lens so no point buying adjustable IR. I don't think you can switch off the IR on the arlo The arlo is the wrong camera to do anything with. 15ft wall distance ....... 6ft high wall ..... 10ft high 130deg cameras

    Qvis 8 ch DVR

    Hi no need to format every few months ....... when it's running right you will have no problems. I have used qvis for over 15 years with no problems. Can you go into your system and then go to accounts page and see how many accounts are listed I think your installer made your account but not with full admin rights. And he changed it on last visit. Also do you have a static IP address or using a ddns account for remote view Ticking the box next to time should of fixed your problem...... but if no full admin rights the changes would not have been done. Also your account might only of been for last 24hrs ...... and now you can go back to footage you could not access before....... surgests your installer changed your account We're are you based
