Very discreet outdoor camera system advice needed
tomcctv replied to drainpipe's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. The reason why I surgest that camera is you need to protect cars and you may find a time that you need to park a car in a different position .... So you can move the camera with your smartphone Yes it is the P400 but you need to look for IP version http://qvisglobal.com/downloads/dl/file/id/124/product/108/iptz_p400_10x_specification.pdf -

Hi. The same problem with a bird box camera ... It will not do what you need I would look at the small mini PTZ from qvis in the UK Can be bought for a lot less than the fixed axis listed and can be bought on cvi tvi IP formate. If you buy the IP formate it comes with its own software to run on your PC -
Hi. Before you learn about CCTV ..... Learn how forums work There not 24hr help lines .... You have to wait till someone reads your post. So start again South of England .... What is your budget ?? I would look at a 4 way IP system .... Will you be doing the install yourself ?

tomcctv replied to drainpipe's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Am also in the uk ..... Private road still has public access it's just not maintained by council I use a lot of the axis you have listed and that will not do the job you need. You are looking for a 10m distance .... You also need to take into account hight of camera. So you are looking for a camera of a target distance of 25 to 30m and with good night vision -

Hi. Going out into car space .. Road side ... Is public space Are you in the uk ? Look at it another way if you install a standard camera that can be seen they might walk past your car and not do any damage. Going covert and they might damage your car again Recorder is the way to go with camera -
Tvi is best with a good coax going cat5 will also limit your distance and then again need to reduce to 720

Question about running RH45 plugs
tomcctv replied to jmcgarva's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Who ever put in the last system can only be called a nut job and you are lucky it even worked. Take the pic with the single power out too 8pig tail ... Each cam say 0.5amp that's a total of 4amp from a single 1.5 output. Then there are no baluns that you need when using cat5. But the existing system is analog with dvr. To go POE you need to replace everything .... Dvr is replaced with a NVR with POE. A NVR can also be bought with out POE ...... But you are looking for plug and play so you need NVR with POE So look for NVR 4way Poe (4cam) or 8 Poe (8cam) or 16poe (16cam) Everything is the same as dvr as in control and use. But you will have to buy IP cameras with POE -
Hi. Wancam are cloud based so will not work with a ddns service Also having an old and new gives your problems as there cameras are not forward or backward compatable with viewing software (they need to be same cameras) You will need another 0041 to run 2 cameras. But I would not buy another .... I would get away from a China cloud service and as you have already bought 2 you have wasted money because of comparability problems Buy dahua or hikvision and be in control of the cameras YOU own

Installer will be throwing camera cables over roof
tomcctv replied to Ryder's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. No it's not the right way for doing it. It sounds like your installer is just using a DIY kit .... The cables are thin and should not be used. Plus you are talking about analog .... Look at IP system or at least cvi or tvi -
