Identifying Vandals. Reccomendations for CCTV Upgrade
tomcctv replied to odw13's topic in Security Cameras
Hi. You have to look out for a few things when buying hikvision. You don't want a China osd display With you having an existing system with coax I would look at a cvi or tvi system...... With you installing for your elderly parents cvi or tvi might be a better option. I would also look at less than 4mp ..... 2 or 3mp will be enough for your 10m -

Analog camera to IP converter
tomcctv replied to ajaykumargaur's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi. Yes you can with encoders .... But it's going to be expensive you might find its cheaper to use your existing cameras and change your recorder for a hybrid and add ip cameras ... And when you have one of your old cameras go then replace with ip at a later time -
Not good .... They trade under two names and are based in China There products are a mix of everything and from Shenzhen city so your looking at copies and than means no backup support and not that good at working

pro guidelines for deciding what you need (beyond hardware)
tomcctv replied to twice_shy's topic in System Design
Hi the only way that will work is if you put signs around the property saying .....intruders please ring door bell first. It's the off the shelf DVRs that some installers over price on ... They buy from Costco or SAMs and to make money they double the cost plus install .......and that is the steep price system. And the only do one type of recorder and one type of camera. A good installer ..... NOT OVER PRICED ONE . but one that knows many makes and models ... Because every install is different But one thing your not going to find in any book or get a pro installer to give you is knowledge -

Looking For PTZ IP Cameras For Documentary
tomcctv replied to high_voltage's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
Hi. The link is from a spam don't use the site ... What footage are you looking at catching Axis avigilon and Sony and bosh will give you good lowlight -
Nope.. From Manchester.. But there is no guarantee they didnt get it from China.. But they are a reputible seller, so i would be surprised.. Will update the Firmware and see how it goes. Hopefully it "fixes" the issue i have, if not i will make a post as, its possible this is just a feature/option i am overlooking. Reputible seller would not send you a 2014 fw unit that why I asked. Before you do any FW what problems are you having. Europe units have a patch on over a 1.500 recall of the DS7208 And this patch must be done BEFORE a fw update

Hi. Before you do a update it's important to say where you got your recorder from ...... Did you buy from China ?

Does the Hikvision DS-7208HQHI support all IP cameras?
tomcctv replied to jweaver's topic in General Digital Discussion
It has to be a Hikvision IP camera, it does not support third parties. No way? I didnt realise that. Glad i asked now, as i assumed ALL IP cameras were supported.. This has just upped my bidget as Hikvision IP cameras arnt cheap. Edit. Actually, they arnt as expensive as i thought.. The DS-2CD2035-I is about £60-£70 Hi. That is a out of date camera .... No updates
