    Which PC for viewing feeds?

    Hi. You was doing well till you typed foscam Your talking pounds ? So take it you are in the uk Head office and 22 outlets is a big business and you should not be talking about budget since business cctv in the uk is tax deductible I would swap out your foscams and replace with hikvision 2mp sd cams at each location. Then you could dump each days recordings at separate times at night ..... when head office net work is more free. You still have live view. I would also have a nvr at one of your other locations to get all 22 feeds as a backup if anything happends to head office network

    The Ultimate dashcam

    Hi. With dash cams now being a standard accessory in cars and trucks. We have a high failure rate. Not just from cheap cameras but also $200-$300 cameras We always install class 10 SD cards and not ones supplied so we know we don't have recording problems. We have 4 of the Vicovation marcus 5 http://www.vicovation.com Not cheap at $250. Support was good for two systems but then no reply to emails. With the amount of firmware updates out should of been a warning there was a problem. Also other problems with the Marcus 5. Does not like heat at all .... And both cameras run hot anyway so summer use they are for ever shutting down. We have also had to replace power supplies on 2 out of the 4 ... Not good enough to run both the cameras. The picture quality is one of the best out of all we have used and the added benifit of rear camera also good images But system is no good with reboot problems system life 13 months Nextbase is another brand we have 2 of https://www.nextbase.co.uk Good little small camera but again heat problems ( they just shut down till cool) this has only happened to 1 of the cameras. Customer puts it away when car is parked up. Which prevents using the shock sensor function It would be interesting to hear what others use and to be honest with how they stand up to everyday use.

    Hacked or Bug?

    Hi. I would say your router is the weak link. Hackers would not be bothered going into your network and enter dvr to change camera names. Your router should of had a firmware update last November But I would just change your router........ No point having one of the most hackable routers on the market. Netgear have routers that send you alerts to any changes to your network or sub devices on the network.
  11. Hi you only have two options with the alien unit. Buy the reset box ........which is expensive if only using it once. Or send it back to system Q to be reset they are in Chesterfield

    Hi. Are you using a ddns service ? Also in the log on the dvr ..... does it show visitors and there IP address
  15. Hi that is giving a warning ...... change time and system will crash. It is not as simple as just changing the date I would spend more time looking for at least an other dvr and use a 1tb hard drive
  16. Hi. No nothing you can do ... your system is over 15 years old Time to upgrade your system. No point having a system that protects money that's worth nothing

    Mounting outdoor IP camera above 2 A/C units

    Hi Jeff No not a good idea ....... It will mess with motion but also you will have no camera view at night ............it will be like looking into a cloud. And winter you will get condensation problems in your camera with cold and heat. Not a good image to have .

    Cabling Help

    Hi. Ok I can only think of 3 options to help you. First is ........ Your missing the Poe .......... Use brown pair to replace the green damage pair and power the camera local with a injector. Second is to be a little creative with your rj45 plug Cut green pair off both ends and use the brown pair In 3 and 6 pin 3 white green ...... Make white brown 6 green ...... Make brown. This is the tricky part pin 4 and 5 is + power and 7 and 8 is - power. Use single blue for + power and white blue for - power You will need to crimp your blue at cable end to give you 2 blues and crimp them into 4 and 5 Do the same with white blue and connect them to 7 and 8 That will bring your Poe back. Option 3 Is swap out that camera for analog use 1 pair for video and the rest for power and other end use a IP encoder to use the cam Hope that helps

    Cabling Help

  23. tomcctv

    Please help me choice the right system

    Why do you want to buy from China ....... Both your links are from China ............ Your links are old tvi units ........ You will need better cables and also you need a hard drive installed You have missed two systems worth over 1.400 when new £150 for full dahua IP system with hard drive and HD monitor and based in the uk........ No one can tell you what to buy if you think buying direct from China is best for you then go with your option But as soon as someone from China lies to you are where they are based ...... Is only the start of many lies with them. It says goods from Manchester ....... It also warns you at bottom of page goods sent from China
