  1. taking off cameras is the same as lowering the res of each. that unit is best at 16 at 2mp fps @ 7 your collecting 12 cameras 3x3mp 1x 2mp and 8 xD1. your spec says 16 @5mp can be run ......... but what the spec does not tell you is you have to lowe the 5mp to D1 to run which is pointless. don't read specs from resellers ..... go to dahua site

  3. Hi the problem with that model NVR is that its limited. 160Mbs they list as best with cameras set to minimum. also 160Mbs you have to include calling your DVR to your NVR. try lowering your 3mp to 2mp and see how it goes also just for test remove DVR from NVR. you would be much better sending NVR back and using there hybrid dahua. that takes away switches and a basic local network is all that's needed also the new hybrids are much better on remote view via idmms

    Costal security camera

    5000 is way to low for what you are expecting from a camera. but for Costal security best to lease a camera link this in to your radar system and it will do all the work for you. FLIR HRC-Series http://www.flir.com/cs/emea/en/view/?id=42061

    Learning DIY CCTV

    Hi. and welcome Echosyn. just some basics .... glossary.php
  6. hardcopy. Hi. get yourself a coffee sit back and read your above quote over and over. your problems first ........ it will take you two years before you see any profit from your customer with $80 camera and 6 years for you $20 cameras and the more customers you get the more outlay you have. you would have to give your customers cameras that have good warranty just to protect your outlay and have you seen the cost of liability insurance for monitoring. but any customer with a good head for figures is going to ask you to explain WHY first is $80 and the rest are ONLY $20 that does not add up at all

    PTZ cameras hooked to DVR

    I don't know why analog would be more of a problem to set up ?? Also cat5 can be used for both. But for the system you have you do only have one option which is analog But before you go buying anything check to see if your dvr can take a PTZ ...... If not the joystick controller is needed Dahua and CNB both make good low cost and good PTZ
  17. were to start your problem is you are quoting analog signal over coax and not digital signal. HD-SDI is recommended to go over good RG59 not RG6 (rg6 will give problems) signal degrades at 100m ........ no it goes off with digital with RG59 or RG6 its max of signal so extenders are needed at 95m to extend. however a few companies are now selling HDCVI with a coax range of 500m for 1080p & 720p HD video format.
  18. it all depends how you are selling 40 units to your customer. un like a store with stock which has stock loss from shop lifting a restaurants only loss is at cash register. POS in a restaurant does and will find his losses as POS is also his stock control do all his restaurants with just looking at customers will not locate his losses
  19. Costco or sams is not going to give you a search POS system ......... but your budget will get you a 3mp camera and full POS nvr. your post is all about POS then not for now. in which case Costco or sams will get you a 4 way analog system

    Cost

    I was only asking what part of country you was in so as you could go view hd-sdi units to see what is available I can send you links but your not trade so price goes above your budget
  21. tomcctv

    Cost

    what part of country are you .. see if your close to a store with demos

    Cost

    Hi good budget ......... HD-SDI 2 or 3mp would be at your low end budget. not hard to install if your a little handy. and a 1000 times better than B&Q systems
  23. tomcctv

    Cost

    hi what is your budget
  24. try doing something simple ...... load some of your camera footage from 3 days ago ??? and also give costs for getting footage you need back ......... do that a few times a year and NVR is much cheaper 3rd party is never any good just wastes money ......... your protecting your own property yet you don't have full control or control who from 3rd party is watching
