tomcctv replied to bitcat70's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions

Hi no it’s not stealing tvi format is hikvision all that is happening is a licence agreement to use it

What is the purpose of click speed tests on websites
tomcctv replied to leo david's topic in General Digital Discussion
Health risks ? Your not going to get an electric shock why press on a websites speed test page …. Why have a 3rd party involvement your ISP will have one on there own website or use an app like net analyzer on apple or android …… your in control no one else -
Hi totally the wrong cameras for a holiday home there are two types of systems CCTV and smart cameras please don’t get them mixed up or believe the crap smart cameras post just like this. *Rechargeable Battery Powered by a long-lasting rechargeable battery, Argus PT can work without any cables and run well even during a blackout. *Comes with the camera. Non-removable. sounds good except blackout this stops your router communicating so stops alerts and with a camera only having small storage you won’t have the footage you also need to get power to the camera …. Even if battery powered it still needs charging so if power is off for a long time you have a dead camera so still needs some cabling CCTV yes it has the same power problems but can be backed up by a UPS but the storage from 1tb can give you 30 days of storage and you also have full control over a nvr away from your holiday home $300 is not a big budget but it can get you started and add cameras when budget allows on reolink website it states battery not replaceable…… how long does it last 1-2 years ……. Cctv nvr 5 to 10 years which is cheaper in the long run

Hi making a converter is not going to work so you cameras are tvi so this will be your problem with making a converter first the digital video signal second the audio signal and 3rd the tvi command menu signal otherwise you will have no command on tvi cameras tvi is a hikvision product it would be cheaper to just buy a 4K dvr

I have 2 NVRs on the same router but don't want to work together
tomcctv replied to ggmaury's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi this depends on size of main nvr . You state two 8 way nvrs one needs to accept 16 channels on some units it is possible but not many what make are your recorders -
Hi. The problem is you can’t turn cheap into good the app was removed from iOS in 2021 Aldi stopped selling that equipment as far as other apps…. Your system is P2P it needs to communicate with the China server for remote viewing
-
Hi do you know the make of your camera at the moment your camera will be CVBS (analog) to match your recorder …. Your camera will also have a HD digital signal something like TVI …CVI … or AHD Most were TVI and AHD formats that are compatible with each other CVI is a dahua format you will get video but no audio i would look at a munufactuers make than a rebadged unit like zosi hikvision or a TVT 4 in 1 recorder as a replacement how many cameras do you have

AVTECH KPD674BZ-C still running even when used as toilet by mice
tomcctv replied to Robo's topic in Introductions
Hi it was hard to download footage at the best of time with avtech codex’s problems this may help you but it also depends on which windows you are using https://www.solvusoft.com/en/files/error-virus-removal/exe/windows/avtech/videoplayer-application/playerlitehj-exe/ -
Hi it is a new dvr and it needs to be the hikvision
-
Hi yes your right cameras can be connected direct to nvr and without network but your nvr and your cameras must be Poe some nvrs and cameras are not check size of power supply on nvr this will let you know if Poe or not
-
???? How can that be …… it depends on signal type
-
You are right there is a converter but you’re not only doing audio over coax you also have video …. Converter’s can’t split them up Aoc cameras have been out a long time it’s nothing new but it is only digital on tvi and on some cvi ahd units your problem is also going to be converting the data (digital signal) to analog on recorder
-
Hi AOC is digital usually on the TVI platform of cameras and recorders RCA is analog is it not possible to get new cable to camera area and use a mic
-
And it is a simple operation but you need to sit back and read the posts I have stated multiple times. You can’t use someone else’s screen shot as you have twice i am not going to beg you for me to fix your system…. That I will never happen
-
I am not the manufacturer you don’t have any service contract with me …. I am not responsible for your lost password I never installed your system i am a forum member who helps with passwords……. Not many people have the password generator for TVT systems they are made secure for a reason infact one of the most secure systems on the market I have already said using other members screen shot is no good for you ”if I was to take a screen shot” it does not bother me what you deside I have explained what I need it takes a little time and effort from me as I don’t keep passwords in my pocket but I surgest you try your installer
-
Hi it’s nothing like your screen shot AS ITS NOT YOUR SCREEN SHOT you have posted
-
Hi what part of the world are you in ? Are you tne user or installer and what type of building is it
-
Why are you using other peoples screen shots ???? mall you are doing is confusing the thread screen shots must be taken of your own recorder. Using other peoples will not work on yours it also tells you at the bottom of the screen not to switch off from it till new password is inserted

Wanted detailed learning material about camera signal
tomcctv replied to JohnBNC's topic in General Analog CCTV Discussion
I do hope your not in the UK 240v cameras ??? and no numbugs don’t work on HD cameras as digital signal not analog (only analog) why have you posted a video of your problem and come to a conclusion that it’s earth related even to the point your thinking of putting in 25mm earth bonding you video shows a problem with a ptz that is class 2 so no earth and on top of that your picture if perfect until you move the ptz which also tells you IT IS NOT A EARTH PROBLEM otherwise it would always be there you state in earlier post between 1 and 2amp psu for ptz yet you still have not given details asked …… size of power unit type and size of power cable and distance of cable -
Panasonic WJ`HD316A hard drive not readable on a PC?
tomcctv replied to Andy Stankovich's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi on old stuff like this you might get lucky or not that pano was out around the time of having to use partitions drives on a lot of systems also a lot of licences will of run out that will not allow you to look at the footage like Java the partitions held operating system and backup and footage either on seperate hard drives or just one what I would do is use a pc not connected to the internet i would then change the date on that pc to 2008 then install your Panasonic drive and see if it detects it then drive should be E …… use config to open and look for either footage or master……… on Panasonic backup file also has player embedded but as you know it’s hit or miss one simple mistake on a 250 or 500 it will format -
How to know url so as to stream on a web page?
tomcctv replied to TampaRetrograde's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. You can’t go direct from web page to cameras …. Not advisable anyway you need to also have video hosting your cctv internet will crash all the time with everyone linking direct to your cameras so you put your camera to a hosting site then link that on your web page this will help https://camstream-live-camera-streaming.soft112.com/ -
Wanted detailed learning material about camera signal
tomcctv replied to JohnBNC's topic in General Analog CCTV Discussion
John I would stop and have a think and a coffee first dvr is class 2 …… so no point looking at main earths total pointless and if overhead is it TT ? coax hum filter (humbugs) are not needed on analog HD they don’t work There is a reason why I ask the power supply feeding the ptz and the size of it and it’s location -

tomcctv replied to JohnBNC's topic in General Analog CCTV Discussion

CCTV 4K WIFI Camera recommendations please
tomcctv replied to fourtytwo's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi your going to find it’s not true 4K like a lot of cheap cameras like in earlier post 4K with SD card is pointless you will keep loosing incidents smart motion is another problem with sd cards …… it will overwrite in a few hours adding a Poe injector or switch would it not of been simpler and much better to of used a Poe nvr then you would not need to use the P2P reolink software which in its self is a bad thing
