Best DVR and cameras for residential use?
tomcctv replied to kokich's topic in General Digital Discussion
In math, more pixels = more image detail, everything else remaining constant. And in my opinion, more image detail = better, everything else remaining constant. Being given a new trick, consult with your math teacher, if you do not understand the concept of Frequency. More number of Pixels do not always give you more image detail. Image detail represents high frequency components when mouldated and transmitted over the cable. The high frequency component is getting deteriorated when going through a some distance over a cable. Then starting to lose Syncs which are placed on rather low frequency band. You may have noticed this in all Analog HD system (HD-CVI, HD-TVI, HD-AHD), starting to lose color components that is placed in the high frequency band. To send 1080P over some distance over some quality cable is believed to a quite challenge. How to send 3MP, 4MP, 5MP, 8MP, things? The cheat is simply blurring down details, high frequence, possibly as low as analog camera signal band (NTSC /PAL) after low pass filtering. They know it was OK to send analog camera signal relatively long distance. Who cares as long as visual quality is accepted and the price is much much lower than IP camera's???? Sunnykim ..... You need to take analog limits out of the maths. It's clear you don't know the differance between tvi cvi AHD but all can now transmit 2000m and also 8 cameras down one coax cable so that blows your distance out of the water. Like I keep telling you .... Move away from old technology and learn the new -
Cannot find a 4mp NVR
tomcctv replied to demesmaeker's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I do not know whys, either. There was a guy, Boogieman, who has promoted 4MP cameras for a quite while. He may know the reason whys? He will get you the answer if he is able to come around this forum. You may give him a bit time before you move down to 2 MP (1080P) cameras. They are supported by almost all NVRs. Please don't listen to sunnykim ..... Guy thinks 2mp is max. It's max res on the nvrs The links you have are old models and max per channal of 5mp .... So 4mp will work The new model is 4K and a max of 19mp -

Sunnykim .... You talk so much crap ...... Please tell us what you think of the 15mp or the 29mp cameras out there ....... Are they not better image that 3mp Every one of your posts is PAL/ NTSC or only one chipset. Chipset has moved on You are right about the American company techpoint who are the owners of tvi and SDI and licence out there tech to the likes of hik and avtech....... I think they will welcome a phone call from you before they release the 8mp this week...... They might need your chipset info and why above 3mp does not work. Technology changes every day new chip and sensor tech to cope with better images. You are right analog is much cheaper (not by much) but it's low image You need to move forward with technology and maybe your post will not sound so stupid.

Hi is it coax or wire
-
Hi. It sounds like you used the cheap lead kits which are never any good. Just as a test chop the BNC of each end of your cable and use a balun on each end.

Keep stripes on HY-Ip cam ??
tomcctv replied to karine's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. While your camera is local to router .... Remove the network cable and see if you have the problem while wireless It still looks like data loss. Your first picture shows your camera outside ........ So you must of replaced the data cable as you only get a short one with camera Did you make one ? -
Hi. It is called RJ50 Is this the serial connection cable ?
-
The Quattro is the same interface so same apps and also dahua PSS Same again for cameras qvis tvi ....if using your old coax. If you want to go IP then qvis dahua hikvision I will pm you the manual
-
I would say the qvis is better than hik dvr/ NVR hik cameras are good but as you can see on the forum gray market are not good. Do you like the qvis software that's on your existing also remote
-
Hi. Yes the Quattro is new and will run all hikvision cameras

Please help - ports keep closing when power goes out SOLVED
tomcctv replied to Diamond Dog's topic in Computers/Networking
Thanks for responding. I configured port forwarded and selected TCP/UDP for both the RTSP port and HTTP port The settings are correct because everything works fine The HTTP port setting ONLY actually vanishes from the DVR if you unplug the power and reboot it. It actually still reads on the settings page, but I just found out (this weekend) if you re-enter it and save the setting, it will work. It is not remembering the setting. It DOES remember the RTSP port When the DVR reboots and if I don't re-enter the http port setting, I can not access from internet. I have tried this on 2 routers and I do not believe its the router UPNP is on on my router but the port map shows that it is only tied to my computer and synology drive (none of these things are on when I have the DVR problem with my security system) Appreciate if you can delete whatever bad advises I had given to avoid misleading other forum users to waste time in following my advice. tomcctv is right. P2P is the only way to make it work. You should look for P2P in the menu and get it to work. There's no other way around it. Apologies for wasting your time in reading my posts. Daryl1733. You need to learn to read ...... I only asked the op if he was using auto setup (p2p) not that he must use it and the op gave a good reason why he did not want to use p2p. But let's take a look at how the op sorted out his own problem But first you need to understand p2p was giving the problem in the first place ....... If you read again I said un tick the option for p2p.. The reason I said that was because every time a p2p system is shut down and back on without that option being deleted the recorder will alway try to setup via p2p..... Now with inputting your own network settings into the recorder while P2p is enabled every time it powered down the recorder will auto change the manual input network setting for its own so it can go and fetch the QR code. But there are a few ways to stop the recorder from using its own p2p 1st is like I surgested ....... Switch it off Or like the op has done and remove UDP Just for your reference TCP/UDP is needed for p2p Glad I could help ....... With all the experience you keep putting in your posts I have ..... I hope you have learned something -

Hi. If I was to buy TVI I would hold off for a week or two TVI has gone 8mp ... But is not compatible with OEM hikvision -
Recommendations? Semi truck DVR system
tomcctv replied to Joeziah's topic in General Digital Discussion
I'm not so sure you're giving sound advice either, with you're analog obsession in full effect as always. Sunnykim a post does not belong to anyone it's a forum. And if you read the post the op does want IP Between you and daryl733 you both have to understand a post will get other replies -
Best DVR and cameras for residential use?
tomcctv replied to kokich's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. That is not true at all IP has nothing to do with your internet speed. If it's IP TVI CVI Analog none of them will effect your internet The only time any of above units use your internet is when you are away from your home and you want to view your cameras. If you are installing from new ..(run cables) then there is no reason not to go IP. If you want to go coax system CVI has better and more options than TVI. What is your budget ? -
General advice regarding surveillance needed
tomcctv replied to asharon's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. For a commercial system with staff then yes it's best with 21 to 30 days With this being a workplace system you can not use covert cameras. In the uk you would need a licence for covert and can only be used for a short time period. You need to take into account it's a workplace system and needs to be covered by DPA rules. As you are installing yourself the rules are simple you just need to know them .... It's not like installing in your own private home. 10 cameras...... I would look at the new Quattro system it does all camera formats so gives you a flexible budget. Tvi AHD 960h and IP. You will not find a price differance with either 720 or 3mp. And for a warehouse install hikvision now do a 2mp PTZ for under 150 But if you are a registered uk company you get most of your equipment costs back so you don't have a budget problem -

Hi. You need to give more information on what you are doing and how you have got to this point. Also type of equipment used -
General advice regarding surveillance needed
tomcctv replied to asharon's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Doing the install yourself also gives you the knowledge to service and keep your system going. Being in the uk you do need at least 21 to 31 days storage so I would also start from there. The other benifit of installing yourself in the uk is you don't need to have a budget so you can go for better than 720p look at a mix of 3 - and 4mp How big is your warehouse and how many cameras are you looking at installing. -
Recommendations? Semi truck DVR system
tomcctv replied to Joeziah's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. Temperature is something that you can only try ...... But most cameras generate heat when in operation and if made from metal and small will hold that heat... That is why I recommended the golf ball size camera. Also the NVR is only a little bigger than your hand It does not make sence to start installing a network in a truck and using more inverters for power. Which is also another good reason to keep your install simple .... Save battery life when your vehicle is parked up. -

tomcctv replied to Joeziah's topic in General Digital Discussion
Sunnykim just because it's very very cheap does not mean it's good for the job. Is he going to get a better image with 2 or 3mp image ?? Sunnykim..... Are the cameras going to be over a network ?? NO SO WHY do you say it's going to be a problem ...... The delay is not even worth talking about.... A blink of an eye. -
Hi. Bad name and bad spec ....... It much easier to just cross it off your buying list. No name cheap units are never good followed by bad remote apps and also no support. Companies like dahua hik aver all stil make analog but all are now hybrid ..... And not far of the same price . But will allow you to expand later without having to replace your recorder again
-
Hi. In some cases you can recover .... But it sounds like you have gone to far with trying to fix yours. Firmware from the same manufacture is the update. But you have also tried the board makers software ..... What doing that may have done is wipe clean the NVR card so you don't have a NVR software in place to recover You will be best buying new they are cheap enough now buy a brand name were you are going to get support.

18cmp01-00 360vision dome outdoor camera ptz install help
tomcctv replied to t310483317's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Have you set up the address and rate on your dvr. Some domes will display the camera settings when you power down and back on again I know this dome as the vcl orbit. You have not supplied a pic of the tell entry board I need to see the settings -
Hi . Yes you will have to change your dvr. The qvis Quattro will give you 4 formats analog AHD tvi and IP
-
Hi. If storage is a problem I would go cvi. Hybrid. And go 32 way. But you can also replan your factory and see if going IP can keep your camera limit to 16. Going from D1 to MP can help to reduce the amount of cameras you need.
