    spycam question

    Take the front off ....... Either tamper alarm will go off or you will see a cam inside. But it does seem to be a normal pir sensor Even when system is not set the sensor and detection light still works which is normal No red light no motion .... Red light on is motion detected And looking at your pictures there looks like no hole (pin hole) for a camera

    Can I run a 12v camera on 15v?

    Hi. I would use solar power to charge 12v battery and feed your camera from that. Also with you using box style I would use a heater and external IR Just using solar will stop you using at night
  4. Hi. It's a 7 year old dvr and has no support Firmware will not update your unit
  5. Even having a 4k output on a NVR or pc still would not help Image has to be from source. ........ The camera and that needs to be 2160p 4k on cctv is years away and costs will be big storage for one. Network also would be a problem would have to be a mix of fiber 2-3 or 5mp I don't understand why people say it will be outdated for cctv
  6. 4k ONLY RESIZES ITS INPUTED IMAGE 1080p is sent from sorce to display (4k tv) Don't think 4 camera images are split as its sent to tv..... Because that does not happen. Unles you have 4 HDMI inputs and a multiplexer built into tv to re display as 4 camera display. Regardless of how many images sent ,....... 1-4-8- there only being sent to tv via HDMI at 1080p and as a whole image then resized to 4k But costs ..........4k for monitoring cctv is just a waste and not needed
  7. Sorry but am confused about view only 4 cameras on a 4k tv At end of day it's not needed to go with 4k ..........cctv is to collect everdance and if needed to give to local police or to be used in courts I just can't see anyone giving footage to police or courts ..........and saying you can borrow my 4k tv as well to view footage.
  8. Just wondering why 2 of 4k monitors Just don't see the point of recommending to spend more on monitors than system Like has already been surgested. And thing HDMI FROM 19inch up

    Hi. Yes you can just change hard drive out with no loss of OS Replace with new HD and it will format on first reboot
  12. Hi. Push had a security problem and the past two updates to the app sorted them out. But with push fix on apps you also need to load the latest firmware for your recorder. Old push will not work with old app. Try mobile vms lite if on iPhone (vms lite has been removed for iPads ) if you can't get latest firmware for recorder

  19. Foscam have always had problems ......... First it's the most copied camera out of China ..... Which you get not support Foscam ...... Will only offer support if bought from a distributor which has a serial number 1000s of junk foscams on ebay with no support. Op has a $400 budget .........and Foscam is a way to waste it Dahua in the US is now stupid money because so many people sell it UK 2mp dahua camera is £38 ..... $60. NVR £60
  20. Very easy to do with a dahua ......... Only problem is resellers in the US and charging to much With avermedia it's also possible with your budget But don't waste your money on cheap Foscam Also remember with a small budget ....build it up slow buy a camera at a time ....... Get a standalone NVR that will take many makes of IP cameras and add when you can
