    First Installation (currently underway)

    Hi. You should be ok for that distance with cat5. Can you list the spec of your cat5 Also can you give your Rj45 connector wiring Another quick test is remove your switch and put 24v direct to camera (no POE)
  2. Hi. Only 1 pair should be used for video baluns

    First Installation (currently underway)

    Hi . If your going to join cat5 I would look at jelly been. Adding extra RJ45 ends then a coupler could be a problem spot ... Giving your cable extra resistance. Keep cable twist as much as can and use jelly crimps.

    Help with type of Coax to use

    If op is thinking of upgrading ....... He might be looking at HD-SDI SO best option is a good RG59 coax and cat5 to run power .... That then gives full options HD-SDI can't run on anything other than a good quality Rg59. Just forget rg6
  6. very difficult to run a 220V line as it is an outdoor cam. any professionals in the field can confirm the voltage drop at 50m is that significant that is harmful to the cctv camera? Hi. 50m is not a problem for 12v ....... Does that no problem It's the amps that plays the part ........ 12v 2amp is not a problem for your half amp cameras ........ You can run two cameras that distance with no problems

    Domestic CCTV Security

    Hi. Budget of £1.800 is a good budget you will get a good DAHUA NVR with 2mp cameras and a Dahua PTZ
  9. Hi. Your system is a hybrid analog or IP. Under system settings click on camera and in middle of screen you will see analog IP or DVR ....... Click on each camera at top of screen and check analog is picked .... Also then BNC leads this will give you problems if not in the right connector on your card. You should have two leads and one will have a yellow phone out ...(this is only on 1 lead ) and should only be in the top connector on card.
  10. Hi. I have about 15 PM me and your welcome to one Also why do you think faulty ? Are some channels missing ...... If so first check in settings to see if any are set for IP or analog
  11. Hi you will need a analog dvr to run your existing cameras You new dvr is for HD cameras Return new dvr for analog or replace cameras
  12. T is bad idea ...... But for what you are saying .... SHARE video ???? Then you need what is called a mule This allows you to run upto 8 cameras down one coax cable with power if needed

    Timeout when dialing in

    Hi. Being on secondary socket is not going to help at all. Internet must only be on the master socket . You can use existing cable to extend line in (two wires) to feed the bt box closest to router ........ Also swap socket fronts. And then use 3 wires back to we're main s****et was All should take 10 mins and does need to be done if not it will have slow Internet and drop out when phone rings
  17. Sorry but that just sounds a fast way to loose money and work for nothing. Split over 10 years for a service contract that may only stand for 12months and go out to tender again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Lots more information is needed Is this a install you did or worked on before who has control over network at each location (are they locked or pass worded ) If like 10 or more cameras are old analog cost in replace not repair Put that in cost over 12 months other work as standard call out charge This will then give you a good platform to bid on its second year service contract

    Odd interferance or ground loop

    Hi. Depends on what baluns ....... Can you post a picture Also if your going balun with power then that could also be your problem on cheap baluns with power 24v is a problem and also with amps. Like the toss says do you have them same at both ends. How long is the run?

    Pick up dahua DVRS or Avermedia for 100 or less ....... App has same if not better that iwatch. Being a dealer you should know iwatch is for iwatch recorders
  20. Apple TV box or android box Stream via airplay
  21. Hi. Lots of DVRs or NVRs don't have a DDNS service in there network setup It's not the recorder you are directing to the DDNS service but your external ip It's your portforward that directs your external to the recorder

    CCTV Camera Address?

    Hi. Nothing you can do unless you go buy a PTZ CAMERA. PTZ menu is part of the GUI ( screen menu) and will only work with a PTZ Normal cameras you have no control over

    Access Dahua DVR over network

    All ports are directed to port 80 You should never portforward 80. OP I SEE YOUR CAMERAS ONLINE remove or edit your posts to remove IP address Id trigger port should be name of device I.e dvr not your port and we're you have 80 change to 37777 then reboot You only need port 37777 open
