    Prewire for POE IP Surveillance Cameras

    Hi. Yes you are right cat6 to each location of each camera I would also at your stage run cat6 to tv points ... Even door bell points Any network alterations you can take hole building is always an advantage

    What are your thoughts about the cameras i bought?

    Well I think you did ....REALLY IMPORTANT But that's a post you can't alter. Same as your PTZ housing ..... That takes a Sony module not hitachi Again if your happy with hik China gray market go and buy them you think they are ok As far as NVR again that or use a PC ..... But see if it works with hikvision software

    What are your thoughts about the cameras i bought?

    Yes you are right ...... Just buy them ... They can go into the box of the rest of the crap you bought Since you are talking in euros then you will also need a China NVR because that camera will not run on euro NVR And if you think updates are not important
  6. Hi. Both power supplies will work for you amps will not damage your camera
  7. Hi. Peter. With the cost of that PTZ I would think of using two good high MP cameras one for each location Auto detect and track. Sounds good and it is in the right environment But on a home you will find it will let you down .... Ok if you have one intruder but what will your camera do with two or more intruders...... Camera might if lucky follow one person but then have no image of the others and then no face detection. All CCTV systems should be designed with evidence collection in mind .... Cameras can't stop intruders but they can be classed as a set of eyes .... You need cameras to see what has gone on and catch face images and also let you see what they touch so finger prints can be part of the evidence I would look at spending on more cameras rarther than just to one which might not catch everything

    All hikvision you can upgrade..... China copy will not run true hik cameras ..... And the warning in the advert multiple times is a clue it is not a true hikvision. But if you think there a good buy then get them

    Where did I say that?? I only said I've the dome housing. Correcting you when you said it is just the camera module. As you don't say the definition for "junk" and just keep regurgitating that word, I don't know what do you expect. Do you have any useful suggestion? Hik is a copy of what? Nice post editing ........ You posted working fine .... Now edited with bhp It's clear you don't know what copy is and very clear you don't understand junk hik is a China copy of hikvision ....... You can't upgrade the software and it will be in Chinese

    UTMARK DVR

    Hi. Another China cloud system I know it's not what you want to hear Why do people buy security and then allow a China company to punch a big hole in there network .... Giving access o everything you do on your own network .... Internet banking .. Contacts ... Anything personal. Dvr168.com belongs to a company called XIN NET TECHNOLOG If your having problems it's time to change your system and remove all software related to that company from PC and have your ISP do a reset of your router

    Again your the one who posted it is working fine ..... Without a way to control then it's not working fine . As far as your links none of them .... Hik is a copy and also has a warning on the ad. Do not update ..... So a cheap China copy You have already spent over 300 on junk you can't use and you are still looking at junk

    What are your thoughts about the cameras i bought?

    No it's not what you said at all ......... We can only reply to what you type 4th camera. 20 EUR Hitachi VK-S274ER American + Dynamica ADSDU822P Didn't figure out how to connect this one yet... weird connection. So you also have a controller to go with it ? If your happy with your Foscam then build your system with them But again 1.3mp for a 100 euros is way to much ....... Brand name 2mp are cheaper

    What are your thoughts about the cameras i bought?

    Foscam 29 to 60 China eBay ...... Just junk Hitachi ..... You never said you had full PTZ camera so not a odd connection as you say ....power video and data 20 euro I'll bet it does not work Fisheye needs rendering software usually makers own .... There are only a few that works with others . Same with your IP camera is it onvif ?

    What are your thoughts about the cameras i bought?

    Hi. Yes you have paid to much Foscams around 29euo Fisheye does not work with other software Hitachi is only a camera module...... For PTZ cameras so won't get that to work Others are AHD and analog If you are looking for a system why have you gone 4 different formats ??
  15. Hi. If you are the installer ... Then why are the owners not burning off.
  16. If the seller has it then why can't he help ? The forum is full of China hik problems
  17. It means you have not got a genuine hikvision which is updatable multi. You have a China copy and even on eBay and other sites the cameras have a warning DO NOT UPDATE.

    New system installation problems

    Hi. First thing we need to do is bring you upto date. Forget using multiplexer the industry does not use them any more. It sounds like you are thinking about analog cameras again the industry is IP CVI or TVI

    qvis tvi compatability

    Hi Darrell. Yes you can connect swan alarm to qvis or any other with recorder with output switches on it and you will still have control of your alarm with the qvis app

    qvis tvi compatability

    Hi. Your swan unit is standard analog so you can not run TVI cameras. Your p400 is duel output tvi or standard analog your dome is tvi only so you will not get a image. On your p400 you are not seeing it's true image and they are very good cameras You will need to change your recorder .... Take a look at qvis Quattro. The Quattro will run your existing cameras and also tvi and IP
  21. Hi. I would mount your camera higher on a pole You have a PTZ so going a bit higher will be ok. Then you can also mount solar light to the pole helping your gate view at night. You can also put small spikes on the pole

    Hi. Lorex cvi is best out of your list If your budget it tight start with an 8 way with 4 cameras and add the rest when can Cvi is much better than AHD

    Port 80

    Hi. Your car has a key to open it.... Your front door has a key to open Using port 80 is giving away your key to your network ... Not just your dvr but your PC. You never use 80 or 8000 Your new cameras and with info from supplier it sounds as if your new cameras are P2P and from China is bad. If you can't use new cameras with another port then send them back Cameras were cheap but now with lots of cheap P2P China cameras you are giving away your privacy
  24. Hi. I would use the PSS and not the smart pss PSS will give you the option to set stream for each camera. PSS is much better for a remote option .. And easier for doing backups from remote units
