Need help Buying Cameras That are Supported...
tomcctv replied to Hypnos's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Lorex would be better if you want to add hikvision .... You can also add dahua . IC realtime ... ADI are both dahua distributors and you will get better backup -
Need advice on a new system. Our current method won't work..
tomcctv replied to dmills913's topic in System Design
if your having 15-20 shut down on a app then if it happends on the tv box and the other y-cam apps then you have a setup problem and could be your network . Try another app see if you get the same lock out. Let me explain 3rd party again for you Using the roku app ... You need to understand they as the third party are streaming over Internet ...... It's not from y-cam it's not local connection ... It's 3rd party. Another question for you .... If roku had not stopped there service would you of still come on the forum ? As far as I can make out on your first post is you have a stream problem Just change your stream method. But if you want to go a NVR method first before you change anything first generation fw 1.98 . Will not work with most NVRs -

Again your limit is done via a 3rd party don't use the roku app . It has nothing at all to do with y-cam. Swap to y-cams. App and you have no limitations -

tomcctv replied to dmills913's topic in System Design
Rokus is just a stream service ... Nothing to do with y-cam except it runs a all from y-cam You could do exactly the same with your existing system but steam in another method. Or you can change all for hikvision but you are still stuck as if hikvision or your existing Y-cam you still need to find a stream to work on a tv. Use y-cam app on smart device which belongs to y-cam and use a $25 android box. Are you talking about local TVs ( we're cameras are located) if so you can now stream any IP camera to a tv with a IP cambox -

tomcctv replied to dmills913's topic in System Design
Hi. Your system has nothing to do with p2p and Roku tv has nothing to do with your system. It's a streaming service and not controlled at all by y-cam. As far as your existing system that is fine if it is working the way you want. But as you know anyone who had access to your system via roku would have also needed a roku tv box. With your existing setup you can still access via smart devices... Android iPad iPhone Windows. And if your views wanted to view via a tv then they could use a android tv box or Apple TV And going that option you might find it's quicker than going with a 3rd party like roku -
Need help identifying DVR and client software
tomcctv replied to Guyton's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi. All that's is available is the smart viewer 4.5 but only covers DVRs from 2014 onwards Look at Samsung support and send them an email -
No that info is wrong ... Also wrong .... The reason why I replied to this post is the model number in the discription. It is a Samsung 100ohm system ...... Can't do 75ohm Samsung sharp lorex all sold 100ohm systems and could only use specific cameras and only use the cables that came with the kits. They did not run on coax. So ops distance would of been no good. But if you think the industry only use the chipset you keep posting about then that's your problem on not moving forward on your technology.

Need help identifying DVR and client software
tomcctv replied to Guyton's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi. Your system is a old Samsung unit. And it's not been supported for years. You need client software which will no longer be supported with Windows also you need proprietary software to watch footage when burnt off. If your looking at saving an event you have had then use the tv output and record it on another device. But think it's time you upgraded your recorder. -
Hello All - Updating an existing Wired Lorex DVR System
tomcctv replied to Ohioscott's topic in Introductions
Hi. If you look at replacing your dvr and adding more cameras you have to admit $500 budget your not going to do it. You could stay all analog but you are wasting your bosses money only to have to upgrade later Look at the lorex hybrid analog -cvi and IP recorder Use your existing cameras and if need to replace an old analog later then it's just a camera change to a cvi over the same coax. Using analog for a car park you will need a lot of them to get good coverage ...... IP cameras are better for that type of application and don't need as many -
Hi. Hope this helps Convert to use YouTube http://mp3warehouse.biz/videos/how-to-convert-vvf-to-avi-mkv-mp4-wmv-mpeg-youtube

Hi. 300m is not a problem at all using any format .. cvi tvi or analog Depends on your budget
-
Hikvision did not create tvi they are a licences makers. Also hikvision 4K is using there own H265 plus which has been belayed because it is not comparable with the true H265 standard.

" title="Applause" /> THOUGHT YOU SAID CIF DOES NOT EXIST viewtopic.php?f=6&t=50990
-
We have had some stupid people on the forum over the years .. But you are at the top. Reading your posts I think you are here to just wind people up .. Everything you say is the opposite. Yes I do know TVL AND IF your saying cif never existed then I think the days of you giving advice are over. You have cctv and tv broadcasting mixed up Just the same as 10 years ago with cheap DVRS from China the sales pitch was DVD quality ...... It never was But here we are again .... Ops system is a cif unit with no recording ( needs a vcr) If your going to give the op your advice that he has a D1 system then yet again you have turned another post into a load of rubbish If it looks like a chicken and walks like a chicken and sounds like a chicken YOU would say it's a duck. So again to op it's a cif system 100ohm with no recording .. So is it worth the time and effort when analog is so cheap as an alternative and have recording and have networking and have 960h That will be 352x240
-
How can you change cif to D1 Yes tvl does matter. It matters a lot Also a none coax system does not have the distance of a 75ohm coax system Plus the op is talking about a combo 100ohm system and no recording So in your mind the system is ok ? I think most people would recommend something that first records and second something better than cif
-
Hi. Is it worth it for a CIF 380tvl system ? How are you going to record your cameras
-
Hi. Cvi will give you the distance you need on some long runs. You will need At least 3 recorders so you can use with cvi only or use hybrid .. Analog-cvi and IP. I would also go with the h265 units to lower the cost of data storage.

Will you like a proximity card reader with LED back light?
tomcctv replied to Arron's topic in General Access Control Discussion

Dahua VTO200A not push alarm
tomcctv replied to sklark's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. What network setting show on the screen -
Dahua VTO200A not push alarm
tomcctv replied to sklark's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. First thing is remove all the 3 apps you have it connected too. In your video you send a command then switch to another app to control it while connected to the first app. Remove all apps and install the dahua app again from the play store. Then connect to your door entry via your PC and reset it. Then in network settings click on p2p and scan the QR code with your cell and see how it works -
Dahua NVR8POE - how to set up DynDNS to allow remote viewing
tomcctv replied to apples12's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. Did a installer put your system in . Because this is a classic example of the owner not using or having the admin password. So you don't have any options to change menu settings. As far as ddns. That is also simple but you need admin rights to your dvr. Settings - network- accounts- then click on p2p then either use the QR code or the serial number on your smart device. If your using qvis are you in the UK.? You might be able to get a free static IP from your ISP -
So how are you recording from the cameras ? NVR of PC

Can a smart tv access dvr
tomcctv replied to captainvideo's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Your Samsung with use a stream from any smart device. You have to link the smart device to tv first .... iPad iPhone or android -
Hi. Your post is practically word for word of one that was posted a few months ago. Before anyone can say what could be giving you the problem .. First you need to say what make your alarm system is - make of your CCTV. And did the same company install both

Sorry, I should have clarified, I was only looking for answers relevant to the above cameras or those in the same market. I am not interested in a $2,000 investment - just not my need. So sorry if the question insults you, but sarcasm and being a jerk is not the input I was seeking. Save it for someone that never saw it before. Someone else who can't read Read my post again .... If you read it slow you might understand ....if not I will post it again in crayon for you. Here is what a real JURK does ..... Buys or thinks of buying a camera from hootoo. A JURK who installs it with there own hootoo crap software that gives a complete stranger at hootoo can watch your cameras So let's see why you call me a jurk What is so wrong about that advice ?? I would say to you ..... You have been a member of the forum since 2008 and you have still not figured out that IP cameras don't cost $2000 anymore. Now that's the sign of a jurk. Another sign of a jurk is ......... Hikvision 1.3mp is Infact cheaper than hootoo crap. Yes you offended me by calling me a jurk but I'll try and put some other advice into simple terms for you . Buy a hoo too camera and you have to connect to THERE server for you to use there camera ...... That means not only can you watch your camera at home but also complete strangers in China can as well ....... Why would anyone want that to happen unless your a jurk So again some simple advice. Think it's time the forum had a kiddies corner
