    Troubleshooting driving me nuts

    hi. can you give cable length ??? also 24v but what amp is your unit
  8. Hi. Yes play back is available but only on paid app. On the free app you can do direct recording from mobile and control lights or sensors . So you can get alarms sent to mobile then go to the app and start recording. But going back in time you need the paid app

    Hi. you will need time for forum members to reply. But both cards are 8 years old and run best at CIF. for 4 cameras your best just buying a standalone plug and play. you have already spent $100

    Hi. think you will find you cant do much with a $30 DVR. your wasting your time if you think changing to a better software is going to make it any better

    Newbie camera installation questions.

    Yes that's not a problem .... Only thing to look out for is DVR to monitor connection. Some DVRs only have screen control via the VGA or HDMI and not from the composite output. A good make Bluetooth mouse will give you 35ft range to control your system with.

    CCTV Camera - water ingress

    Hi. can you give more detail of how camera is fitted and located. reason why I ask is cable as far down as water table seems odd. plus even if water was getting into cable it in its self would still not fill camera (unless camera is also below water table)

    custom system, expert advise needed

    DONT use rg6. its not a hot thing ....... its the right cable for that distance two monitors plus 4 cameras your distance you will need 2.400 ft of cable (400 each run) and also some boosters. CAT5 or 6 ........ to do same distance and have more control you only need 800 ft of cat5 1 x 400ft run for cameras (run 4 cameras on 1 cable) 1 x 400ft run for monitors and mouse control. so the value is quicker install ....... less cable costs........ and much better option when you install a better system later

    custom system, expert advise needed

    Buy quality and they don't fail. For the distance you are going cat5 is standard practice. You will have problems mixing coax types

    custom system, expert advise needed

    Hi rg6 is not for CCTV ..... best just having cable run without connectors. plus your distance cat5 or 6 is best with baluns. can install dedicated network so no impact on your existing LAN setup
