tomcctv replied to larrymilla's topic in DVR Cards and Software - PC Based Systems

PTZ Dome CAM moves but goes back to original place
tomcctv replied to bentech's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
Hi. Yes your right nothing to do with dvr It's called home position ...... You will have to go into your PTZ Menu and set up your own return and start location and it has to match what you use on dvr settings. What ever location you want your dvr to return camera too you will also have to set the preset 1 on the camera menu. A power reset. Might of been your problem -

Suggestions on IP system $2000 budget
tomcctv replied to maxhighlife's topic in General Digital Discussion
sorry but hikvision or dauha don't. infact the link you posted ,,,,,, no warranty from hikvision usa not DIYers fault, would of been much better if seller just looked at postal address,,,,,, un autherised seller like amazon are only interested in one thing ,,, your credit card number my first point was the amazon prices at start of post was too high ...... followed buy don't pay high and not have any warranty. and its also best to understand the likes of amazon ,,, alliexpress ,,,, newegg have no support or warranty from hikvision its only with the seller -

tomcctv replied to maxhighlife's topic in General Digital Discussion
Yes that NVR will do what you want 200mbps is the max of the recorder at its max run. But if you config each camera for its location you should not get to its limit ...... Motion detect in some locations is one way other is some new Dahua cameras are comming out with smart set which can also be found on other cameras like avermedia were you set 3mp for day and set 1mp for night..... Or smart detect in day constant record at 1mp till motion detect then it switches to 3mp ( saves storage space) -

tomcctv replied to maxhighlife's topic in General Digital Discussion
Yes think I am aware this is residential section. But I think your wrong about updates and firmware. Even if it's a self install or company install updates are needed. Let's say to keep simple you buy a system now and you use windows 8 for pc view And next year you buy a new pc or laptop and its windows 10 BUT you can't view your cctv system anymore Same with updated iPhone or android apps and windows smart Why buy from a place you don't get support or updates...... So I stand by what I said about Amazon and eBay purchases It's like the post on here other week ........guy buys from a China site ....... Hybrid with spot monitor out which he wanted ...... VGA and HDMI was ok but spot was PAL ....... No good for America bet he wished he could get support and software -

tomcctv replied to maxhighlife's topic in General Digital Discussion
I did not mention Europe only because you had already done quotes in euro . And if you think updates are not needed if not broken On a NVR updates will keep systems up to date Even a NVR and same brand camera will need a update or at least a upgrade patch otherwise the system is out of date in a year. Also which has come to light is 3rd party software to change language on cameras or NVRs from China ...... It does not change the watermark or electronic signature so footage can't be verified -

Am not bashing hikvision I use it along with other brands Let's look at your crap Amazon warranty ONE YEAR HILVISION HAS 3 as standard So buy from Amazon you loose two years And link you sent to camera critic is crap he is sponsored by the company you linked for camera sales My problem is price from Amazon and eBay people ..... And sorry this is a forum and advice for new people buying need to be made aware of over price and warranty problems SO NO I DID NOT BASH OR SAY DONT BUY READ my post I said expensive. Hikvision nvr Poe 8 and 8 3mp cameras from Europe $1.200 ship Also Swann (hik) at Costco is cheaper than Amazon Now let's look at forum and buying from Amazon ..... Last few months with China imports Wrong language is main problem firmware is another and as you can see from posts it is a problem for some people -

tomcctv replied to maxhighlife's topic in General Digital Discussion
It is still too expensive And have you tried and seen how much it is to send stuff back from USA AND no you don't get warranty from Amazon But also being in usa dahua would be a cheaper and better option Hikvision just in last few months have put prices up -

Access control for automatic sliding doors
tomcctv replied to EricTrueView's topic in General Access Control Discussion
Hi. To make your job easier ...... Like ssnappier says forget mag locks otherwise you are looking at two controls to figure out ..... Existing door control and new mag control. Also with the many types of card locks on the market .... Cut down the work and talk to the hotels room door lock company and see if they do external lock. Also with it being a major hotel then I would say you need to involve fire alarm company ( doors must unlock on fire alarm) -
PC Base NVR PC For 74 2MP Cameras - Need Advice
tomcctv replied to larrymilla's topic in DVR Cards and Software - PC Based Systems

As far as switch ...... You have one area 24 cameras on one switch ..........that is a lot of cameras to go down if that switch has a problem. -

Hikvision camera recording when movement out of frame
tomcctv replied to alexf40's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. You will need to take into account pre and post recordings. It works well when recording I.e 5 seconds before and 5 seconds after event will also be added to recording. Sounds like you are only using snap shot So you will need to set pre alarm to 0. (Factory set to 5) -
Please Help Somebody!!! Lasers disruppting my Cameras
tomcctv replied to Loria's topic in General Digital Discussion
I do wish you would put that stuff out of your head. Your system is not on the net. But if it was your system logs IP addresses I would turn the sunsheld around on your camera And also give your recorder time to finish the file before you view And see how that goes for a few days -
