Convert wiring for Motion Sensors to USB?
tomcctv replied to iceland_potter's topic in General Digital Discussion

Camera picture loss after a few minutes
tomcctv replied to heaton231's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. Yes you are good with shotgun.... you will also see a little improvement with coax as that is 75ohm unlike the cable kits you are using now. Also the power conductors are too small and not allowing the amps your cameras need -

Hi. The cable kits are cheap and are not for cctv even though the sellers say they are. Go with cat5 with baluns ..... 1 pair for video and the rest split for power -

DVR Recommendations to replace existing system
tomcctv replied to rtq2334's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. Your current cameras are analog so will not run on your first link listed. Your last link is a good unit and will run your existing cameras ... and it also allows you to update your cameras later to HD cameras.

Hi. You best and cost effective option is to use IP cameras daisy chain type. Camera link from one to the other giving you 900ft on one cable (300m). And you don't have the added cost of power and switches every 300ft

Connecting NVR and POE Switch on Different Routers
tomcctv replied to htb1's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi yes your info is accurate....NVR = network video recorder. Your cameras can be in one place and NVR other side of world. There are problems also associated with doing it ...... Loss of Internet connection video image reduced. But a cheap way around that is two NVRs..... One at camera location the other at monitoring location ..... This way has the advantage of two lots of recording storage at two locations. -
