Hi. Yes it could be expensive. But other things have to be taken into account. Is £110 fitted ?? If so you have cable cost ....and that changes for each camera distance. Are the cameras set at a hight ?? Above ladder range. And also what warranty and service is offered. AHD cameras are the cheapest ..... But you can also have quad cameras that will do AHD CVI TVI and Analog and there around £60

Hi. £300 is a lot of money for only 2 AHD system. Installing a 3mp IP system will be much cheaper and better What is your budget

Hi. Try it with port forwarding and see if that connects

Hi which format of cameras are you using as well as your vivotek

Hi what problems are you having I need to get quick DDNS setup and i don't have the option to do it on the current firmware. I was told that updating the firmware will show the option in networking settings Thanks Hi. Are you looking for the QR code setup ? ..... Problem with the firmware update is if it does not work or wrong firmware then it's a send back. Your other and simple way is qvis server DDNS..... I have sent a link to your pm

Hi what problems are you having

Where did you see Minolta CHINA took over Mobotix? Like many non-Chinese companies, they might have a factory in China but this person is not Chinese: https://www.mobotix.com/other/Company/News/News-2016/Yuji-Ichimura-New-Chairman-Of-The-MOBOTIX-Supervisory-Board Are you talking about the person or the product ??? Tim Cook is American .... Yet his products are made in China .

Amcrest OEM China Also wireless for a hotel

Be interesting to see what happends to Mobotix now it's in China hands Really?? Last I checked Konica Minolta was Japanese. I think most people know Minolta is Japanese......... I'll put it another way for you The arm of Minolta CHINA took over mobotix

So your TVT is a hybrid ...... Then use dahua with audio Are all your tvi done with coax or cat5

Shenzhen City is the copy capital...... Gray market Hik do not sell on eBay and the likes. .... And if you think the 1000s of sellers on eBay and the likes are authorised sellers And like I said to you .LOOK at the ops listing and the warning ...... It comes with V5.3.3 ...... Hik would not give that warning and also hik would not sell there cameras with 2014 software. ITs 2 years old hack. And order is from Shenzhen. NOT HIKVISION.

You are making your own post confusing IP will not work on your TVT analog How many mics do you need ?? How many channels is your TVT and hik recorder. Can you get another cable to were you want microphones

So what format is your systems Are you using ip or cvi or analog

Look at the back of your TVT you should see audio rca

Not completely correct; both HDCVI and HDTVI (don't know about AHD, we don't use it) can carry audio/PTZ signal over the coaxial cable. So with an HDCVI/HDTVI camera that has integrated microphone you do not need to use at all the audio input on the back of the DVRs. The op has not said which format he uses. But still either way cvi and tvi DVRs still have home run audio. So even if he is on analog or cvi tvi he still has a way of adding audio. ...... Only downside is some DVRs only have 1 audio input or 4

Hi. Both TVT and hik DVRs have audio record. It is not from the camera .... You need home run cable back to the dvr audio input. On back of dvr

Hi. This would mean your monitor resolution is not right and nothing to do with passwords.

No, I did not know this. This is counter to what I have read up to this point. I was of the understanding that gray market are Chinese market Hikvision reflashed with English language firmware. I find it hard to believe that otherwise reputable US resellers are selling essentially counterfeit products. Do you have any links or info on this? I'm genuinely curious. Hik from Shenzhen. Are not made by hikvision they are a copy / gray market. We have a avigilon 5mp from Shenzhen .... Does that make it copy ?? Yes. A genuine hikvision can have firmware for any region problem is it has to be a true hikvision. Look at all the hacks on this forum for the Shenzhen china copies.... Hik have now stopped telnet and also factory passwords ...... You now generate a user name and password on first plugin. Look at the ops link ........ 2 years warranty is with hikvision ......hik will not deal with end user.........that is the first give away it's a copy. Second is like all copy and gray it tells you it is on v5.3.3. Which is not supported by hik.

Some people just won't listen.

ADI. Is a good place to start. As far as 20 -30% in price. ..... ... But the cheaper are a copy. Not made by hik What is your budget

Please let us all know

I hope you understand gray market are not made by hik ? They are from Shenzhen. And soon will not work with hik software. Hikvision have only just started taking steps about copy / gray cameras.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on how much risk one is comfortable with vs. how much less they pay. Nothing to do with risk. Hik have changed there ipc setup and are about to update there software ..... Then see how the gray market works out for you. And regarding price ....... Newegg costs more .... For the brand listed. Newegg 12 months warranty ...... Hik gives 3 years as standard

Hi. Buying gray market hikvision you are wasting your money. And you never buy from Shenzhen city. That tells you they are a copy..... And DO NOT have hik warranty.
