Hi. Yes you have made a good choice.

2 to 3 SECONDS of video loss

Hi. For a 2 year old unit I still say black or green ........ 2 years ago purple was bad for DVRs ......good for NVRs The new purple has intel agent speed and that will be a problem from the start You took out a barracuda........ Like for like is green or black Green or black is £58 purple is £92

Not all DVRs can run purple WD black from PC world is your best option

Your system is 2 years old so purple is no good The safe way is black WD or green which are standard drives so no problems As far as firmware I would not do that

Hi. You are best buying the same it has already .... Wrong drive can give you same problems WD black or green will work.

Hi. You will need to post picture of your camera screen and give more info on products used and how you have connected them ......cable type cable length how powered

Yes 720 is fine ... But before you buy anything post what you find first and we will see if ok.

Hi. Once you start having HDrive problems then it's time to change it ....... You might find you will need some footage and it not be there. The problem with DVRs is they can't fix or report bad sectors on the drive

Hi. The only camera that will work is a standard D1 and any brand will do so long as it's PAL format. But you are going to find that buying the new multi format cameras are cheaper and gives you the option to use any recorder at a later stage. Multi camera is a camera that has 1080p CVI TVI AHD and 960 on one output.

Hi. 2 posts in 7 months is not enough. Your answer is on 3 threads up.

Hi. Why do you need Swann ddns when your ISP has given you a static IP ?

Yes you are starting to understand ...... Also with using a NVR you will be using IP cameras ........... It is also a good way of connecting IP cameras to your network where you can't run network cable ....... Garage or garden shed Once you have used one you will be buying for your smart tv or anything else network

so I tried looking at the item details... is it some type of wireless device itself? not sure how it can transfer the data from one point to the other? YTD2e9mIoaE Hi. This might help you ...... It turns your existing power cables into network transmission

Hi. Yes they work very well plus can give your network extra protection

Hi. Bill yes it can be done .... But wireless is not that good you are best going Power line adapter https://netgear.com/home/products/networking/powerline/

Hi sounds like a bad hard drive

IT JUST WONT WORK WOW. FIRST 270ft on one single pair of 24 cat5 24v 5amp .........this is out of code ....also none regulation. And unsafe. Run a power extension to test and if your cameras have the same problem But 24v 5amp over 1 pair is not the right way

Why are you not taking any notice ?? 265ft The conductor is too small for that distance and remember you are on 24 1 pair is not going to work

Then you need a better multi meter ....... Take a look at this and it's low.

You are still not giving what amp is the 24v power supply . Are you using 18 or 24 cat5 80m is 265ft

With your 24v how many amps ? ... You are looking at 80m with only 1 pair .... It is not going to work

Hi. Looks like a power problem You can't run 24v down 1 pair of cat5

2mp is standard across all platforms except analog Tvi cvi IP

Hi. There is no point starting another post while you have another with the same problem. You need to understand peer to peer. Which is what your camera has You need to post a picture of your camera network setup. You say you now have your local IP now set ..... But still with the cameras own software ...... This still allows the peer to peer What happends if you enter your local camera IP into explorer ? And not using the software that you loaded onto PC ?
