  1. Hi. The problem is your baluns ....... The type with rj45 connection defeats the object of using baluns as 1 too many connections and 2 they only use 1 pair for power which is not enough for 100ft. Change to single balun and use more pairs for power.... Save you a lot of time and money changing to rg59
  2. Hi. Save yourself time and money .... Your link is to China crap.

    Upgrade to HDSDI/HDCVI

    Hi. To keep the quality then use HDMI over coax (this will also give your customer control with units remote on the monitor)
  4. Hi. It does not have to be just rain ....... Dust. Sand anything like that And also your boiler outlet can give the same results

    Hi. What makes you think the IR is playing up ?
  6. Hi. Yes it's rain ..... You only need light rain or even dust in the air to give the problems you have ....... It has always been a problem with IR built in

    camera died need new one

    I am in Texas Central Time Zone. If I order the new camera then will have to splice new ends so it will connect to the wall wires? Which camera would you get that would match similar to this one? Hi no you don't need to splice anything ...... If the end is not the same for power that comes with your new camera .... It is just a matter of changing the end ..... Power connector comes with camera Check your pm box .... I have left a link for a replacement camera which is local to you

    camera died need new one

    Hi. You have a standard 720 TVL camera ....... Your connector is standard for Europe ..... But does not matter as your new camera will come with power connector. If your in the UK you should be paying around £45 for a replacement

    CNB irc-100

    Hi. There is none ..... You need to set you camera for Pelco D and 2400
  10. what IP camera would you recommend for external use? Hi. You have some very good bosh cameras and expensive .... So I would use them as they are for internal or external (with housing) they have very good night view I would go for a hybrid so as you can use your bosh or attach to an IP converter.
  11. Hi. Yes you will have to tell your renters and let them deside if they want to rent or not. Holiday rental or hotel suite. Your renting a private space ..... Don't think you would rent a hotel suite if had covert camera ? Even family with children .... Covert recording might give you problems you don't want. If it is your boat you are protecting then fit a tracking system ... For around $60

    Web Surveillance

    Hi. They are easy to set up ..... But first you need to QR reader app on your smartphone or tablet. Then go into menu then guide and click on next and follow the screen instructions
  13. Hi. Your cheapest way is 24v to camera and then drop it to 12v But for a gas station .... I don't think you are going to get much life out of that PTZ ..... 12v and it has IR it moves it also has wiper blade that is a lot of work for 12v How many of those PTZ cameras are you fitting ?

    Time Stamp loss when Backed up

    Hi. Upload your file here. How are you doing the backup ?
  16. Tribrid units are a waste of time and pointless When most people upgrade its from analog or they want to use existing cameras and add IP .... Which is hybrid Tribrid ... The cvi tvi side mean also having to add them cameras .... Why when can add IP
  17. Hi is that a down light in your soffit ? If so you are best removing it and place your camera there as the light will not be good for your camera You could also use the power cable of the light to help you feed your cat5 Attach two lengths of string to your down light power cable ..... Go into your loft and pull the power cable till you have both stings from outdoors. Cut one string off the power cable and attach your cat5 .. Then go back outside and pull both strings back out of your soffit..... That is your best way without removing your soffit board
  18. Hi. BBMW. I have systems over 10 years old still going strong ..... A little unit service once a year ... All dust out and every two years replace Hdrive. It's like anything ... Can last 1 year or years. If your looking for something to last look for a hybrid unit .... That way in years to come you can add IP cameras and also mix and match what you have now
  19. They are not CCTV cables ..... The power lead is too small they useless You still have not said what size power supply you are using.... With you saying IR come on then I would say it's a amp problem with your cables being to small
  20. Hi. First problem is your cable kits you have listed ....... They never work and are not 75ohm and the other problem with them is the power cable is too small . Can you also list the power supply you are using ?

    Asian supplier substitute to Arecont or Avigilon ?!?

    It's a fact you are not going to find anything you would get the product or support as you do with Avigilon. If your customers want cheap ..... Keep selling them cheap equipment

    Thinking my mom got swindeled.

    That way is going to cost your mom more money ....... Let's say the labour is 1.500 and NVR and cameras are another 1.500 ... Your moms 3k You try and find a good system for less than 1.500. Then time to re install ..... Then can you give your mom the warranty and service call the installer would of added .... Think your idea will cost your mom more What will be the reason you give to the installer to remove the cameras .......you found cheaper on eBay Your own admission you say you know nothing about CCTV . Or types of cameras fitted 3k is not a lot for your mom to have paid. You have not even said how large your moms home is But it sounds like your mom has had a system installed by a pro ... And also giving here service and backup with being fitted by a pro
