  1. I know what your saying....... everyone should have the right to protect what they own. if it was something to do with there car then they will be knocking on your door to see if your camera seen anything. just sent a PM to you.
  2. what type of camera are you using ??? sounds like your in a block of flats HA. so all areas outside will be classed as public space and you do need to follow steps to put a camera into public areas. these steps can only be taken by building owner. UK laws are also going to change this year which will make it harder for you to use in a public place. one way to get out of your problem is to use a camera inside your car.
  3. Hi. where are you located. if your in te UK then yes you could have a problem. people who object to CCTV always bring up recording kids. as you are not recording then you cant say you are or not. might be a good idea if you got a cheap recorder just so you can show HA what your camera is covering. but again this all depends if your in UK or not.
  4. It's because 90% of there 3rd party list don't work and the other problem is they will work but only at D1. And it's the same if you want to use a dahua on another NVR ... Dahua don't work with aver or everfocus. And dahua also know about there own problem ...... There new 3 and 5mp Don't work on there early NVRs
  5. wow. he has a new system already ??? and going IP will just make it harder than with what he has now. SD/SDI IN/OUT with DVI OUT Box is all that's needed at each monitor. Feed from SD camera goes to box loops out to DVR and box converts signal to DVI
  6. Hi. no its not a dahua. its a cortex. you should find a list of IP cameras supported under system. and this can also be updated
  7. D1 (525) 720 x 480 is in NTSC D1 (625) 720 x 576 is in PAL PAL gives more lines then NTSC
  8. no its free......... only works with there products
  9. No dahua does this direct.................... this is why I call them a toy NVR. don't forget all dahua are limited to FPS (which also tells you it does not go direct to HD)
  10. Why would anyone use a PC alongside?! That is what I was thinking lol I am assuming he is talking about the case of using 6 NVRs stacked you would use PSS to see everything on one screen. the 600 works just like nvrs stacked. ...... but the 600 will only display 6ch@1080P/9ch@720P/36ch@D1 so you need PC to view all channels
  11. Why would anyone use a PC alongside?! the 600 cant display all cameras at same time ....... so pc is needed ...... also pc is needed to burn footage
  12. why not just change brand of NVR..... then you have much better options on which IP cameras you want to use. and not have to use a PC alongside like you do with the dahua Any other NVR I have seen for recording at this many channels goes for about $10k on other brands. hi. don't get caught up in the word super dvr THATS only at D1. it will only do 32 at 2mp
  13. why not just change brand of NVR..... then you have much better options on which IP cameras you want to use. and not have to use a PC alongside like you do with the dahua

    Advice for DVR

    Hi. avermedia also does the same from software or direct from DVR and they also call in most makes of IP cameras
  18. Hi. if your asking for Tourism funding. why limit yourself to just 720p 3mp is fine
  19. yes its like buying a new PC it says 240v ............ show me a component in a pc thats 240v (none) 220v / 240v / 120v is power in (transformer)
  20. light fittings are rated at 240v cable / switch and fittings and fused (europe) i did give a simple drawing of how easy it is ....... all this has come up because the doorbell is not to standard so drawing i left will not work for you as that would be 220v going though your dvr alarm point which you cant do. spend money on putting doorbell into regulation which WILL save you money with having to buy install a relay and a fuse. (if you can do relays why is fitting a new doorbell so hard) always work to codes and regulations
  21. I understand your task was to set Alarm via doorbell which is very easy ...... But because the way your customers bell is set up is the reason your having problems I was only trying to help on what the regulations are. Ok yes it was already installed but since you have removed it and putting it back knowing its out of code Then it falls on you and your company. 30 to 40 minutes to fitt a new low voltage door bell then your DVD just connects direct But to start adding relays to a in protected 220v with no fuse or earth is just not worth the risk.
  22. law in spain does not allow for 220v (DIRECT CONNECTION) doorbells. and i dought anywere else. just to point out a few things 1, your test shows the striker is 220v hold off (as your getting voltage reading) which makes no sence 2, if doorbell was to be 220v then ........ you have no earth and more important NO FUSE protection. by the time you have bought relays and the likes if you google 220v doorbell in spain (yes all 220v but step down for button and bell) you will see 35 euros then you will have volt free contact for your DVR is it worth all the messing around for 35euros ($40)

    Mobile App. for ICRealtime

    hi PTZ try the new app from ic its ceaper than the one you pay. you can only use IC apps. ICRSS PRO. its cheaper for android that apple.
  24. hi. i would change the whole doorbell. as far as i can see 220/240v doorbells were available back in the 50s / 60s. if you are getting 220v from these cables then thats a problem in its self striker should have either nuteral or positive but not both. also a 220v bush button (doorbell) dont exist, i think your working with a hash setup you should not be getting 220v at striker or button. get customer to replace doorbell ......... in the UK we would not be allowed to reconnect under regulations and put sticker stating unsafe. going with a normal doorbell setup doing what you need would be easy. as its low voltage.

    Hard drive format type

    most DVRs will format on first HD install ....... and if your using a secondhand drive format at fat32 then install into dvr and it should run a farmat itself again.
