Hi. I would leave a DDNS service till later and just use your external ip to get it all running first on LAN .... local you would be using 192.168.x.x but for away from your network ...WAN ..... you need your external IP click here will give you your external ip http://whatismyipaddress.com/

Hi. not much you can do with the colossus .... yours is around 6-7 years old. you need to load remote viewing software on to remote PC

Some DVRs Will only have good res for a few channels and limit the quality Your happy to send pictures to a spammer in china. If you don't list camera or dvr ......... It's going to be a long post

" title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> guy is American NY. you might be best posting camera image here also could be a DVR setting problem so make of DVR will also be good

Hi. on DVR do you have under IP settings .... your external ip or your securix ID

Maplins is for the amateur people do like to have ago themselves. its like a lot of places that sell to the DIYer the hardware is ok ......... its the cheap cable kits that let the home sytems down basic stuff from maplins but at least branded I.E avtech swann

Hi all again, binned my sunluxy 4ch dvr due the intermittent picture as it switched to NO SIGNAL then goes back to picture and continued to do this when connected to my old dvr, so bought another sunluxy dvr thinking my old one was goosed and with my new dvr it still does it, if I wire my camera straight to tv then its perfect. im stumped, anyone any advice. thanks Ross Right click on screen and disable e Sequence

are you for real ...... your directing him to a CIF recorder, PLA system: Display Resolution: 720 × 576 compressed resolution: 352 × 288 NTSC system: Display Resolution: 720 × 480 compressed resolution: 352 × 240

you can buy the couplings in both straight through or crossover ........ are they both straight ??? but a punchdown block is much better . how long is your run and what are you connecting ??

yes its ok ....... push down box is best way ........ and also remember not to take to much of the cable twist (keep twist as close to connection as you can)

with your budget I would look at better than hikvision. how many cameras are you looking for and are you going to us a standalone or PC to view

???

Thanks, I'll check local ordinances. Best, Christopher Also to take into account the legal db limit. Alarm systems in homes are starting to fade out ...... With the reasons already given (slow police response) or if home alarm is always giving false alarms (cry wolf ) Smoke bandit is now in the price range of a alarm system and it will protect much better than a alarm system

that can also be said for rg59 .......(you cant run rg59 the distance of cat5) cat5 wire snaps is classic for cheap wrong size broken baluns I have not seen so again you get what you pay for

cat5 is not a problem with PTZ your problem is how its connected. that's your first problem ........ you either connect direct to both camera in cat5 OR rg59 but not both other is you mention nothing about baluns......... need good baluns for cat5 to work other is power ???? is it up the same cat5 ??? usually its 1 pair for video 1 pair for data and 2 pair for + and other for -. so if camera runs are long amps could also be your problem can you get local power to cameras ?????? do each camera have own 24v supply ??? your best option with the faults you could have is rewire

yes pci card

I plan to either get a capture card or "dongle" from Ebay, or have it hooked to my TV monitor that's next to the computer. Having it on the computer screen would be nice though, so I'll probably get a capture device. The Moxa converters look nice, but I bet they are way more than the $20 converters on Ebay. I don't have a lot to spend on this, heck I got the camera for a "whopping" $10! I'm looking to spend under $50 for the accessories, whether it be a capture card/dongle, or a RS485 converter. If I could get a card with the PTZ control in it, that would be cool too. Looks like the Pelco "D" protocol is pretty universal, I'm going to power the camera up and see what I get, obviously it won't move around without control signals, but I can see if it's getting video or not. Best and cheapest is to look on ebay for a avermedia NVR 3000 card It will record and give you full control of your PTZ

Hi. usb to something like a moxa converter will work ..... but first how are you going to get image onto PC

Before you can deside your problem I would first sort your existing camera out Nothing to do with lens First look at your IR feed back it covers over 50% of your image. First is lens to dome cover ..... Seat that better then remove tree branch form camera view ...... Then see how your night time image is before anything else

Hi. Yes it is possible to us your existing coax .... Each of your existing coax can run 4 analog cameras. Analog over power line can also be done but it is very expensive 5x the cost of eithernet power line. (And you need one for each camera) How many cameras are you looking to install

I would take a look at the aver IP all have alarm and audio in/out How many cameras are you looking to run with your cards

Hi. You do need quality images or your just wasting your time just having AN image of a problem that can't be used because it's not of good quality is just the same as having no camera at all But for your needs trail cam will do everything you need

Have an engineer in your area Thursday, If you need sooner PM numb-nuts he is not far from you (Manchester) http://www.rexcctvinstallation.co.uk/

Sorry I have to ask what calculator have you used to work that out. 4 cameras or 8 or 16 recording 1 houris still only 1 hour of footage

Hi you can also buy avers as standalone such as the nano 16 which will run your existing cameras and 4 ip upto a total of 8mp Or there pc based upto a total of 80 mp
