    PTZ cam does not work at night

    Disconnect video at night ......... That just means your supplier knows nothing. You do need to post a picture or link to your camera ...... Nothing has been said about power size what cable used what data cable used If camera is powered from dvr end or camera end
  2. You will find the best priced equipment .......on price or best for the job intended
  3. It's ok thinking of just one transmitter ....... It starts to get expensive when looking at transmitters with a wide channel range In your case it's 12 channel
  4. Hi 12 cameras wireless is going to cost much more than your full system. It would be cheaper to run cables ..... Also remember drilling holes you would have to do anyway as you still need power local to camera
  5. Hi. Have you tried another mouse ..? Both hik and dahua come with very cheap mouse

    Home CCTV System

    I can guarantee that you will not be happy with these cameras after a few months probably even the first day. You really need to know what you are purchasing for the money. I would get a 4 channel Dahua DVR (~$140USD with a warranty) and 4 cameras with premade cables. You can definitely find some quality analog cameras for around ($60 a piece for outdoor or $45 for indoor). Feel free to PM me if you have questions. CYANIDI ......YOUR WRONG with your guarantee qvis sell dahua and have been one of there longest distributors.

    Hitachi VKS654N NTSC to PAL

    Hi. It's just not worth doing first on the camera you have the video standard to change then you have the power to change ..... And that's just the camera head .......... Camera head gets it's power from the housing so them you have to change that over Going NTSC TO PAL You also need power 60 hz to 50hz

    RG-59 Siamese Quality Issues

    So for CCTV you can't terminate like you can for normal networking? The plan was to combine 4 video signals from each corner and crimp them all down into a plug. Let's say I want to run 2 cameras off 1 cable that sit on top of the house but they are 25ft apart. How would you split the wires for that or would I have to run a second cable for it? Hi run separate ......... Same with doing a network less joins in cable the better ..... In network I would not join at all

    RG-59 Siamese Quality Issues

    Forger punch down boxes and don't split cat5 you just going to make problems. Cat5 to each camera or 1 cat5 to location of 2 cameras (gives room for power) But don't cut or split cat5

    Auto switcher for TV

    RikWesty Yes you have the same idea .... GJD or opted wireless to control your scart. GJD also do a 2 or 4 way wireless If your looking at switch over on more than one camera then easiest way is alarm out on dvr direct to scart Nc to pin 8

    Hi. What type of cameras and which recorder Also how will video be sent to tv

    RG-59 Siamese Quality Issues

    Hi. Cat5 will always be cheaper ......... Use single baluns and save on BNCs As far as power unit for your garage ...... It is always best to have more than one power unit ....... If a camera takes out your power unit all cameras are gone so garage to have its own is a good option. Pulling cat5 is also future options on systems

    Home CCTV System

    Hi. I would use domes that will solve any cameras being hit and moved. Signs on a domestic home are not needed and in most cases will give you more problems. Lights with sensors would also help in your garden area I would do a little more homework before looking at the likes of maplins Ip cameras are now in your price range and will give you a far better image than analog

    Cable routing

    Hi try install yourself lots of help here . Yes to a point analog is plug and play and has been for 50 60 years Numb ---- don't know if you looked at his photos It's just over 6ft ....... Broken this broken that so don't think that can happen. Also . I can see point of cable entry from photos so it would only take a few minutes to get cables anywhere along that route. At the end of the day the forum is here to help ...... It does not take work away from installers ........ But the forum is more than just about dahua and hikvision of late. Nothing wrong with a DIYer to have a go ....... And lots of help on here . Just take a look at your very first post ....... You learned from forums
