Hi. Xmeye is a budget app and in most cases the dvr will also run with dahua app and PSS But I would look at dahua hybrid to use.

rs232 will not give you control access. Create a app ??? ..... Why go so complicated.... You need a image feed to your projector so why not just keep it simple and run rs485 That way you will have the same image as on dvr .... Using a app will not be the same and slow

Hi. Why ?? Just use the mouse

Which mic do you have ?

Hi. Your system will over write it's self .....there is no option to delete

Hi. If you have a $400 starting budget then I would buy standalone hybrid. cvi tvi IP hybrid ..... Will give you lots of options for adding and building your system Look at lorex dahua IC realtime

Hi . The system you have a link to is AHD which is not your best option . You can do better with the same budget but start to look at CVI they are in the same price range and you don't have to look at upgrading again at a later date Also your link is another China p2p system ...... Why people let China have control of there CCTV system I just don't understand . And it is starting to be a big security problem for people's own personal network. I would look at brand name equipment cvi tvi by dahua or tvi with hik Dahua is the best option with it now running cvi tvi IP 960

Hi. If it was me I would change to a better recorder . China p2p is junk and DIYers need to understand..... Why it is bad to use a China server. But looking at the app history they have had problems the past few weeks. And have gone back to a old version So remove all apps switch off your router and recorder then do a rest on recorder....... Switch everything back on then re register .... Use the QR code given from recorder. But look at the feed back of that app.

Hi. On a 290tvl over 15 years old I would consider upgrading you will only be wasting money also you will save on your power bills. Since you have cables in place then I would buy a cvi system ..... A dvr and 4 cameras to start and add the rest when budget allows A dvr will also still allow you to open gates and give you the audio If your happy with 290tvl then you will be very happy with 2mp cvi. How are you doing your recording at the moment ?

Hi. Why try and stream 4K ?? Use a less stream. Dahua 4K is h265 ...... Your PC will have compression problems rolling back to h264

I would look at the new qvis or dahua hybrid range ... The hik you have listed is only analog and IP ... The new hybrids out now are cvi tvi AHD IP and analog Also hik software is a bit choppy

Techpoint supplies. But another classic chip post

Hi. The settings given by AK need to be the ones you use. Also where it asks for password in the app it is not your router password. ..... It is admin (which you need to change later) Also your dvr port should not be 80

Hi. Did you do what topchips recommended??? All cameras must be set the same except I'd number Not all PTZ use tx and rx

Yes you can use power line but you will loose the option for auto setup and you can't use Poe Best option in make your own leads with cat5

Good starting kit .... 8 way NVR with 2 4mp cameras https://www.lorextechnology.com/hd-ip-security-camera-system/8-channel-ip-security-camera-system-with-2k-resolution-cameras/HDIP82W-1-p Just finished editing my other post when you sent this. Looks like Lorex is a good name then. I'll look into this one and see what's out there. Thanks! Hi. Look at buying from lorex and not Costco they are not the same spec units

Hi. A standalone NVR is your best option for two cameras. There is no point spending on a PC for your needs What is your budget

Hi. I would use existing cables and just install IP system with Poe You will find it cheaper

Hi. If not IP then your installer is looking at hik tvi. Tvi is a open platform and not hikvisions ....... Hikvision is behind the times now ........you can get hybrid cameras .......which output cvi tvi ADH and 960h and can also be used with most DVRs and NVRs.. Your installer knows nothing about IP cameras so that should show you he knows nothing of the industry and he should be told to not quote It does not matter which format you go with there is no delay. But don't have installed nothing which you can upgrade with in the future

It sounds that the installer might not be lying. It is him to save you in trouble, Not the guys promoting IP cameras, even for simple home applications. Betamax vcr and a few old cameras with multiplexer. That will save money sunnykim ?

Flir units are made by dahua

Hi. Yes that unit will do all that you have listed Also you can set the pre and post recording. Another good and useful function it tag. This allows you to tick any part on the camera view and the NVR will show what happened in that space. I.e. Say your bin is in view ..... Tag it and press playback and it will show only who has been around the bin Or handy for dog fowlling...... Tag it and it shows the video and time. Also that unit is compatable with all dahua software

Hi. What type of 16 gauge cable ? You need to post a picture. What distance are you going

Hi. You need more info .....type of camera Also a snap shot of your screen showing the problem
