    Hikvision Fire Hazard or POE?

    Hi. Like said water damp will get to anything over time .... But same with the flimsy connectors they sometime failure . One small pot of electrical tape which does 100s of connectors ... Rj45 or coax and is even good for making camera gaskets http://www.sotabeams.co.uk/liquid-electrical-tape/
  6. Hi. Keep it simple and keep cost down $40 for a netgear 4way Poe switch ..... Gives you 4 cameras at garage area. Then use 1 pair of netgear power over eithernet plugs from switch in garage to recorder.

    Help in connecting remote connection

    OK that worked but new problem is I can't login to the DVR as it's saying login failed. It's the same on DVR's current network ( same ) it says login failed It used to work before on the same network Don't know why it's not working Hi. Go into accounts on dvr ..... Create a new one with full admin. Log out then log back with new user you created and then delete the others
  8. Hi. Cut end off and replace with new rg45. What type of camera are you mounting. A J/ box that size will look a mess
  9. Hi. How many of each format of a era are you using Have you tried just connecting 1 cam to your recorder to see if it gives you a image

    Convert wiring for Motion Sensors to USB?

    Hi. No mention of type of cable you have in place USB will not give much power worth using and not at any distance. Cheap chines wireless cameras ...... Spend your money buying a coffee from Starbucks..... Better value.

    Trouble with No-IP and NVR

    Hi. Hiddns is no longer available ...... System had to be registered with them before December and now February it was locked Also there new is managed by Amazon ..... Can't hik the supposedly biggest and best run there own As far as your no-IP account ...... Your password is too short go for 8 digits or above.
  12. Hi Matt Yes cat5 is good but you will have to use baluns at each end. As far as network from loft to router it is easier to use eithernet over power . Something like these. http://www.netgear.co.uk/home/products/networking/powerline/PL1200.aspx?cid=wmt_netgear_organic

    Replacement Hard Drive for Qvis CCTV

    Hi western digital purple 1tb ..... Is good for your qvis PC world. Is best option
  14. Hi the guy who left link to reolink is a spammer I would not even bother. Look for dahua from a distributor that way you get updates

    Need a door cam for my front door

    Hi. For a simple camera have a look at ring https://ring.com
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Hi. You are asking a lot for $400 are you using the system for security ? Wireless require cable for power .... so I would look at network over power that way you can use better ip cameras. More than 10 people at time to view. That can be done with apps But is your internet up to it

    Swann NHD-819 Stand alone access

    Hi yes it will .... why do you think there is a firmware problem ? Are you getting any image
  20. 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. I would also surgest if you order that recorder also order 1 CVI camera...... then you will see the difference Your last link is a dahua unit
  21. Hi. That is a different format than yours and will not run your cameras.

    Longest range?

    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
