Xinray Shenzhen china review *** Buyer Beware *** Warning **
tomcctv replied to harry_Smith's topic in Security Cameras
Dorris. ..... looking at your return reply ..... customer still needs to pay the return cost ..... which sending things back to chine can cost 3 to 4 times more Also your reply ..... has the unit been used ... as it will effect the second sale ? It would of had to of been used to find out it could not connect to a nas As you said it would. But like anything from China it costs a fortune to send things back. To the point that money would of been saved if bought from hikvision USA direct. Price difference.... How much was original nvr ? How much is the replacement nvr that works with nas What is the price difference? Then add the buyers return costs Then add the extra money you want for the right nvr And then you will charge again for sending replacement back out You don't need a calculator to work out there is no point sending it back. But you could make it easy ..... uses FedEx to send and collect from the buyer -
Swann cameras, far off
tomcctv replied to bkvanbek's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. Your problem is the distance ...... You are exceeding the 100m distance for IP. Regardless of power being at the gate. You have a few options One is swap out your Swann NVR and go for a hybrid that does both IP cameras and 2mp cvi cameras. You can then run 4 cvi 2mp cameras to you gate with just one cat5 cable...........this is your cheapest option. Or you can use IP extenders ......which will cost you a lot more than NVR swap plus 4 cvi cameras. Going the IP extender option don't buy the cheap China stuff These are the best for IP transmition http://www.veracityglobal.com -
More crap from junk china

So in your store how do you quickly look back at something 5 minutes ago ??? ....... you need to pay monthly just for that option Your wrong dvr or nvr are the heart of your system..... you could also setup your own cloud and not have high 3rd party costs for something you already own Good luck with sending your images to server based in India .... waste of money

Hi. With aver not supports anything the last view years ..... You are best finding something else. Which cameras are you trying to connect and how many

Hi. Being in the uk you would work on cameras for around the £45 mark. Cvi 2mp and the recorder around the £120 mark for a hybrid This will allow you to use your existing cameras plus 2mp HD

QTN8037B camera installation
tomcctv replied to The_Intern's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi .... you can't get the answer with vote or pole since you question is wrong. It is more like 300ft and it's not just a power supply problem it's data as well . You will need switches Create a local network. -
Power supply replacement - wrecked 8 cctv cameras
tomcctv replied to Offspring2099's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Just for a quick test what happends when you just connect 1 camera ?? This could be something as simple as your recorder is set for wrong region PAL instead of NTSC. You might find the setting in setup or record menu -
Hi. This one will work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mm.android.direct.gdmsspadLite&hl=en_GB

Time Jump in Security Cam Footage tampering or glitch?
tomcctv replied to securemystery's topic in Security Cameras
Hi it would not match realtime ... as your only altering footage speed. Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. If I have security footage which does not match up with real time (as in it's a bit slower) does this mean someone purposefully slowed it down? Thanks. No it just means your playback footage is not realtime. Do you think someone has been playing with footage ?? Or have you requested footage you think might have been played with ? -
Wireless hybrid? Lorex (by Flir) vs. Hikvision
tomcctv replied to oneirishpollack's topic in Security Cameras
Arlo has got a back up option, and agree with TheF too. if u're not into cables, wifi cams are your best option. Arlo is over priced .... never own anything ..... ... the lorex system op posted is cheaper and will own it. -
Hi what problems are you having ? How old is your unit ? Old units won't have a firmware upgrade..

How to upgrade Onvif ip camera
tomcctv replied to jordanthomson's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi Tom Thanks for replying. Ok, so, ill get one of these poE switches you were talking about, i couldn't find one in PC world for that price but will this one do the same job https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B014XEPT72/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_AK0AzbTX4D3S4 So when everything is connected to this switch (ethernet internet supply and the two cameras) ill be able to get the direct IP address from my internet hub of the cameras to have full management control? am i correct? Jordan Hi. Yes that is correct. Also gives you more options on recording with other software. If you only have two cameras then this might do you. http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/computing-accessories/networking/network-routers-and-switches/network-switches/tp-link-tl-poe200-2-port-ethernet-switch-10147755-pdt.html -
Hi. With it being a IP camera ...... The audio would be with the data so no output needed. Is the yellow audio ?? Or local video setup analog Can you post a link to your camera

How to upgrade Onvif ip camera
tomcctv replied to jordanthomson's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi 3rd party apps might not even have admin control..... why not use the viper app You also need to disable time stamp on the cameras and only use nvr time stamp. But to do that you will need to connect your camera direct to your router so you can have access to its menu..... you will need to get yourself a cheap Poe injector as your camera is powered by the nvr. Injector allows you to power cam without nvr. That's the problem with plug and play installers they don't take there time to do the settings needed to complete the install. I would personally install a netgear Poe switch from pc world for £38 .... to run your cameras before they go to your nvr. This then gives you full management control and allows you to update cameras firmware (you can't if direct to nvr) -

tomcctv replied to jordanthomson's topic in General Digital Discussion

Hi. Used ic realtime for years ........ And support is good .... However........ They are licence holders for dahua software and for many years have improved on it themselves mid to high range units stand out from other licence holders with better apps and add on components....... All there systems intergrate with Paxton security equipment For basic CCTV use lorex but from commercial use ic realtime pro equipment .

Ok waste your money $29 for power strip vs $19 for power supply with right amps http://m.ebay.com/itm/9CH-DC12V-10A-Power-Supply-Distribution-Box-CCTV-Security-Surveillance-Camera-/201274019804?hash=item2edcddcfdc%3Ag%3APZIAAOSwAL9Ui%7E0C&_trkparms=pageci%253Ab7ee6fad-67a9-11e7-8cb1-74dbd18026c7%257Cparentrq%253A3b2d940715d0ab64b899bae7ffe64c95%257Ciid%253A1

Hi. In the discription it says power supply supplied with camera 8 cameras = 8 power supplies. Your asking for 1 power supply with 8 pig tails .... the one on there site ? That power supply will not run your system it's only 2amp And it is never a good idea to use pigtail power supplies....... 1 faulty camera will switch off the other 7 If your not happy with the individual power supplies then buy a central power unit 8 way 10amp individual fused

I have some setting on the camera that can be adjusted. Maybe an adjustment is needed. Look forward to getting more info on it.. Thanks! Hi 51cent has it right .... I would also say drop your Fps down as well. But you may not find a in between setting for your view as technically your image is two views (dark top light bottom) I would look at setting your camera back to auto and then use a sensor on your light and have that set for just your drive way and that will again turn your camera colour but also past your drive way it will be BW when drive way sensor is not activated

Can I access my PTZ camera without logging in to my NVR?
tomcctv replied to howuduin's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
Hi. You will need to run your PTZ to a switch or router first before it goes to NVR This allows your PTZ to be accessed on its own ....... With it being a IP cam it will have its own view software -
XMEYE Camera keeps going offline
tomcctv replied to Odysseus_Rex's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. Use the explore app instead it's more stable. Also only add your system to the cloud one ....... Use local login if you have to reset again.
