    Your input please

    His unit is from costco, so he can return it and start fresh. The lorex unit is not bad - its rebranded hikvision (before they switched to dahua)...The camera is simply mounted too high and has the wrong lens for the application. Problem with that is if he is not a business card holder then he only has 90 days ..... All Costco offer now is lifetime support If system goes faulty it is protected by warranty for 12 months or length of manufactures warranty or if extended 2 years warranty is bought from Costco . That's from a call to Costco

    Hi you can find much cheaper than edigital his stuff is out of date And as far as better than forums take no notice. Since you already have some IP cameras then I don't see the point in wasting that money and look for a NVR which will take your existing and add something like axis to.
  3. How are you bantham it's been a while...... Did you run software from the Internet ? Driver should of been ignored and not updated Can you go into the windows of your system go CTRL. And L at same time .... You will then get a prompt for password 88888. Then go sound and graphics in system and see if any are listed as faults
  4. Hi. Mac is ok ..... Look at downloads and you will see software for Mac
  5. Yes it will take others like hikvision and dahua But it will not take trivision. ... That's not surprising Just sent to your pm with downloads and info .... Have a play with the PC software
  6. Hi. That is not a bad system ..... Can also work with dahua app and PSS software.. Just take into account there is no hard drive fitted to that unit..... I would have them fit one before ship if that's the unit you are going for. Thanks! Just ordered. Subject change... I need a baby monitor.. anybody have any suggestions? It doesn't have to necessarily work with this system. I'll probably just run the ethernet into the babies room and then remove the camera when we travel. So maybe something that has wifi capabilities too. Also read that the IR is bad for baby, so worst case I'll have to tape over it as best I can... or is there something out there that works for what I need??? Hi. On the site you linked they also have a small IP camera for $70 that will do for you baby room ...... Also that system will take audio and a mic is around $14 Makes sence to keep it all together so you can also watch baby room on mobile with same app

  8. It's not Poe because it's coax CVI and if wanted can go up to 3mp if wanted Plus is a dahua system and trust me it's a 1000s time better than trivision. Trivision remote app is poor ..... Only shows 1 cam at a time also has no playback ..... And you can't even mix and match there own cameras if different models
  9. Hi this would be a much better system for your budget it is better than the analog. http://www.amazon.com/Dahua-Camera-Surveillance-Security-Channel/dp/B0108OA07U/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1454149129&sr=8-18&keywords=security+camera+system+cvi
  10. Um, hello? I am currently using the setup described, and they work great. And I don't sell anything, I'm a consumer, but thanks. Want proof? Mmmmm lets see ....... Might have something to do with your web link......... You get discount if you leave feed back Your link is to a spam website it sells bags woman cloths cheap crap IP cameras Then there is your Amazon link $174 for a junk camera........ Read OPs post he does not want a camera with no support ..... Basically no junk
  11. Hi. Don't take any notice of Iscrx. Hi is selling you junk

    I GIVE UP!

    Hi. The drives you have listed are not comparable with the old dahua units you have listed. It's not only dahua it's hikvision zombo Samsung or Swann These are standalone They do work with PC windows based systems.... But even then some problems still need drives to be made smaller by way of partitioning.
  13. Hi. These are cast metal and universal these type are from dahua

    Assault real time recognition

    Hi. Yes there are also rat on analytics out there and expensive but not reliable. If you think about it there are many ways for a store holdup with or without arms. Yes some are armed with either guns knives hammers and some are done by passing a not to cashier and most are just grab .... As register is open. So there is to much for a single analytics to work out . Your best few options are wireless panic button inside cash register or look at your cash register manual as some know have a distress button on them .......most registers require operator to input something to open it .... They would do the same but in a holdup situation they would also hit the distress key as well As far as video you will alway have it running as it would.
  19. Hi. We do a lot of pos and gilbarco systems ( both pos and pump management) You will find it much easier to use the existing internal network to capture the text. Each cash register is already sending the text data back to back office ( as stock control) which is still to much info for using as text overlay but if you go on the back office PC and do IP config and search pos term all cash registers will show ... Write down each IP address it will show for each. Then go to management service on the pos back office then network and look for port out ..... Look at each IP you written down and look for port 5551 ( cash register1) 5552 ( cash register2) This will give you the same text as recept to customer and these are the IP and address you should use on each camera on your hik NVR Also on gilbarco pump management it has alarm outputs which can be sent to a PTZ camera .... When pump 1 is started PTZ will turn to is or pump 4 .... Capture every pump which starts and this will also show on transaction ( if pump start is on registers)
  20. Hi. Sounds like you got a quote from the wrong person ..... Parts you have listed just make it expensive..... Two DVRS will need two monitors ..... Go 1 16 way and only 1 monitor is needed Then there is the storage of data (hard drives). 6 PTZ cameras will eat that up. PTZ cameras are useless if no operators is with them fix cameras are better or your install and that will save you $1000s alone I would look for a CVI system like dahua 16 way dvr and 16 fixed cameras But if your understand networking then go IP system What is your ideal budget ?
  21. Hi. I hope you have a true avigilon ....we got asked to look at a customers 4 new avigilon 5mp IP cameras from allied... He got upset when we would not help ... China crap with avigilon name on
  22. Hi. Sounds like you have other problems ..... Even if hard drive is full that should not stop your screen image of cameras Try going back on your hard rive and see what has happened

    Need Help! DC 12V or AC 24V

    Hi. Yes you will have to put your own BNC ends on ... Or you can go cat5 cable and use Baluns .... Either way is going to be a better way than the cables you are using which are poor for CCTV use.

    Need Help! DC 12V or AC 24V

    Hi. Your bad image is down to poor cable .... While you are doing the install ditch the cable kits you have and go for RG59 with power

    Need Help! DC 12V or AC 24V

    Hi. Stay with 12v for now .... Your cameras may not be duel voltage.... If you already get an image from your cameras with using 12v then that is a start. What cable are you using for video and power ?
