the guy is talking crap...... any monitor or tv..... if they have AV or VGA or you just use a KVM. just seen your other post on price. if this is the same guy and he is saying you need a SPECIAL monitor ..... with your quote and the SPECIAL monitor you are looking at 5K. and thats just for a basic analog system. i would spend time on the forum for a few days it will save you money. it does not matter how many questions you ask there are lots of people here to help. what are you protecting / how many cameras do you need / are you able to do the install yourself ??

yes very very high. the dvr is budget and new to the market.

hi. dvr is budget and also new to the market. but that depends on what budget you have to work with. a few ways of doing it. cheapest is over PC/Laptop but if your looking to just have a monitor then VGA out via a KVM exterder with mouse control. you just need a cat5 cable from DVR to monitor.

hi. how are you entering the URL. people get caught out using www. you need to enter http://yourexternalip:5550

this has already started in the UK. axis used to help till there support team were not able to help distributors with jamed phone lines. like many others now who with out a distribution number your call will be re routed to a premier rate phone line. and the cost of the call is to pay for the tech support. also axis do like others have cameras comming out of china not autherised by axis which they will not support at all

Hi. lots of good units out there that do just what you need everfocus and avermedia. as far as advertising this is best done on monitor. so pick a monitor that has SD or mem pen to display adds. it is much easier to control if your ADD customers are late or bad payers

Hi. mcrosoft would never contact you about your computer. they dont know who or where your are never mind your contact details. nvrddn is a spyware service and operates under another 6 names. i would spend time removing there service. even a system restore. and also make shure your external ip changes before you sign up to a good well know DDNS service

Hi. avtech units should only need to have a firmware update if you have problems. if you dont have problems then leave your unit as it is. firmware are for fixes. it does not make a dvr newer. also if you load the wrong software I.E regional. you will kill your unit. V1014 is for the B units z being the region of where unit was sold. its a 50/50 guess

hi i think you will find it mucg easier to just go and buy your rg59 from a good distributor. dont listen to manufacturers who say thay will make the cable for you. or just go cat5 keep installs simple

if it was a pick dahua nvr or build then build 100%. dahua nvr is very limited to the point you are wasting your money on MP cameras. or look for a hybrid DVR that is controll by camera settings and not the nvr settings. for your 4 cameras you will need to use the dahua 16 just to get the best settings for 4 mp cameras

hi. motion or always record does not effect your HD that runs 24/7 all the time.

Hi. MrE. secod to your home is your car. and cars are broken into more than homes now. so i would look at your placement of cams 5 and 6 to cover both sides of your car. other things to try and get into images is any AC units you have outside.

Hi. jdjeff58 you have 2tb of storage. so you have space to record. motion only recording is always a problem. i have not looked at your dvr manual but you may also have a setting for smart record (records in cif 24/7 and motion will be recorded in D1) this works well with pre and post recording. sending DVR back will just give you the same problem ....cameras are the first thing to look at and if your using built in IR cameras you will always have problems with motion.

Hi. Odesys. the latest cctv cameras out there could involve a big budget. what are you looking to protect and what is your budget

Hi. Footage taken from dvr can be altered but easy to detect as dvr will leave electronic signature or watermark which will tell you its been altered. As far as to alter then put footage back into dvr is yes impossible

Sorry most link out Ave ......... Used there products for years and very good reck support

Hi. its not as easy with just a splitter. the kgaurd will only record and play back on 1 channel so putting mics away from that channel will give you no video. if say all mics are to be used in the same camera area then yes multi mics can be used but you will need a mic box (activates each mic with the most volume) sound activation. but your looking at $6 to $900 then your mics. its cheaper to replace dvr with more inputs.

Hi. wee use i check and have done for years. we also have it working with PC based aver dvrs. with facefinder. these units not only do these units DO cheques but also driving licence/ passports. it will store any documents with video.

hi some avtechs let you while creating accounts and some you have to go back in. go to menu then click system you will see either a general button ..... click and go to accouts..... or a direct account button. click on that and all your created accounts will show and you can edit the accounts from there to which cameras each account has access to. DONT DO ANYTHING to your admin admin account or you will lock your system.

Hi. very easy. Anytime Anywhere is the default remote software. all you need to do is menu then accounts and ADD acount then you can pic which cameras are going to be available to that account.

hi MACE are the sellers of dahua in california area. http://corp.mace.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=6

Hi with axis we used to do updates that seemed to work but still little networking problems. then we were told by axis to always do a hard reset before installing firmware and going back to factory always sorted it.

Hi. carrier82. before you did the update did you reset your encoder back to factory first ??

Hi bobm. if remote viewing via blackberry is important then you are best loading some BB apps and try a few first. many say they have BB viewing but it does not work.

hi your card will do D1 analog. and remember its also hybrid running mobotix direct is no problem.
