    Need Expert Help, Please!

    Hi. Why would you want to do this ?? It sounds like you could land yourself with a lot of legal problems. Rent out a house and you record the tenents and there visitors. I would not do what you are asking ..... It will cost you a lot more if caught. Including your house.
  3. They are much better than domes .... And they do lock into place. The ones listed are small .
  4. Why not make it all easy and check your emails at least once a month ..... That can't be that hard Hik also has a 30days ..
  5. $1.500 for a 2mp PTZ Look on eBay Texas $500 for the same PTZ

    iVMS - 4500 App Password Recovery

    actually I am installing it on other mobile so there is no chance of that! Hi. Why no chance ?? Just uninstall and setup again The password is only to open the app on the device. And you are prompt to do that at download.
  7. Hi. I would give hikvision a miss. .... They are changing both software and hardware to stop the gray and copy units from China All authorised distributors are sending existing stock back for the new more secure units. You are best also staying away from dome cameras for your install and going for something like these and for the price and discount there is nothing close to the price for a plug and play system. https://www.lorextechnology.com/cyber-week-specials/4-channel-hd-security-camera-system-with-ip-cameras/HDIP44D-1-p
  8. Sales people have no clue on what they are selling What did you call the thread ? And you add this next. Camera cables are the most important factors ..... YES THEY ARE IMPORTANT FOR WIRLESS SYSTEMS . always best to leave cheap China WIRELESS LESS systems alone .. Waste of money.
  9. Hi. This might sound hard on you but access control is not for beginners. And going into a fire control without even talking to the company is a NO NO. Size of the install the fire alarm company also needs to know what you are doing since there system needs to control part of your system

    P@P viewing via PC

    Hi. P2p is not good at all and gives your customers problems. While all this mira attack is going on some ISP are giving static IP addresses. But p2p might sound simple you as the installers are taking away your customers network security.

    Cameras for target filming

    Hi. This camera will do what you need ..... Look on eBay and you should find one CNB are good cameras http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html_new/products/product.php?seqx_prod=205
  12. Hi. Take a look at the ring pro system
  13. That's just it, I'm not either. Do you have a recommendation for something better? Lorex q-see ... Dahua .... Swann.... Hik You can go with avigilon ... Avermedia .... It depends on your budget.
  14. That was the case until China government restructured hikvision remote services like hik ddns ..... No longer owned by hik the other is p2p and cloud offered BT ezviz. A data collection network for China government Hikvision are not bothered about the copy hik market or gray market and in turn distributors are dropping there systems ..... Hik has got themselfs into a big mess
  15. Hi. Since your last lorex system they have been taken over by flir systems. And now are dahua partners. That is a good price for what you have listed.
  16. Hi. Did you do your research on price or products ... What is your budget ? First don't buy your system from Amazon ..... No support no warranty and on two of your items you have to pay for returns. You pic a dahua NVR then a OEM camera ...... Again you might not get the firmware updates for both ..... Stick to same brand. Your cat6 you listed is patch cat6 ...... Which is bad for CCTV. Buy a reel of cat5 ..... That way you are not limited to camera placement

    Help with classifieds

    Looks like your going to have them for a long time Over $2k for your 10 year old Pelco $12 for a Sony camera manual ....... It's free on the web. This is the reason why there is a classified section .... And not just a place for others to dump there eBay crap
  18. Dahua would not come to your house But ..... I still say you have not done the last twist you have drilled 3 holes to avoid doing that. Yes your camera looks right now installed and IR are level. But without the tight final twist. Keep an eye on your camera for water getting in First twist is so as can remove adjust cam and mount again and IR don't line up. But once happy you push camera hard to wall and twist another 10 MM. this locks the cam and levels the IR and also which yours can not do as you have re drilled ......... The last 10m locks cam also presses cam back plate to black gasket and pushes the gasket to the wall mounting plate making it all water tight. If you go to your camera now ..... Push it hard against the wall and twist it will turn another 10mm ....... But it will put your IR out of line. Because of your new holes. Plus if you have installed up a ladder that is hard to do . But I would use a little silicon over the the camera to back box join

    DVR REMOTE BACKUP SERVICES

    Why would you want to send your data to Romania??? Plus it is a brand new website with only 12 months Take your money and run. Build your own local cloud network with a western digital cloud box Keep it on local network or wan and have shop owner have that at home doing a second recording from shop system .... Only cost I'd the WD cloud drive
  20. See from your picture YOU DID NOT GO INTO SECOND LOCK POSITION also not used the 3rd lock pin You have re drilled holes the same distance of the second twist you have not done..... And like I keep telling you even now you have it ln line (because of your new holes) IT IS STILL NOT IN THE LOCK POSITION . Look hard at your drawing ........ The lugs ARE NOT IN THE STOP position they are only half way ..... WHich is exactly the same distance of your new holes. It's your problem not a dahua problem ...... Also you have not fitted the 3rd lug ... Your picture only shows 2
  21. Same with EZVIZ .... GOVERMENT data collection. P2P and China cloud services Just as a worldwide country warning that is about to go one the news 300m memory /stick/drive/pens. For American market found to hold data to create another dos attack ...... As soon as installed into USB it infects....... So can't even test first. ..... So next time you see cheap memory sticks for sale at a gas station give them a miss. Be interesting to see what happends to Mobotix now it's in China hands Hilton hotel group was American owned till last month ..... Free lolly pop too who can guess who's hands it is in now
  22. Red are your new holes ..... Which also moves the lock plate ..... Marked in green
  23. Have a think ....... This is your first at installing this camera You had to drill 3 new holes so as you could twist camera to the right ......But what you have also done is move the locking pins Look at this picture . I can guarantee you have not twisted and locked your camera right .... If you had left as it was and twisted camera the pushed camera into wall and twisted another 10mm to lock .... Then you would of had no need to of drilled new holes But your the only guy to have this problem ....
  24. No I have never had the problem ..... And I have installed 6 ..... Also if you google the problem ..... It only shows that you have the problem Plus by drilling new holes you would of moved the stop point of the back plate The lug on the back of the camer MUST always be at top when locked ..... Yours now can't do that if you have drilled new mounting plate holes
  25. I know the mounting plate comes with the camera ...... The gasket comes with the PFA 132 with the screw in lugs If you had left as is then turn camera till stiff then snap turn it would of locked into place
