Hi. On your router Ports remove port 80 it is not needed. Also forget about using a ddns service. (you should not need it) best way to test is to use your mobile .... Look for a app called asee

Hi Harry. yes it is very simple. just a simple change to your ip address. try the link in your PM.

hi. the 3216 nvr. is very limited .... even to the point you buy a 16 way. the more MP you add the less channels you have. if you buy a 16way and use 4 IP 2mp cameras thats the nvr limit reached............. so you turn a 16way into a 4 way or you can use 16 1 mp cameras to use all 16 channels but it will save money if you go hybrid as the 3216 nvr can only record in D1 with all 16 channels used. which to be honest is a waste of money buying 1 mp cameras 16 channel@D1, 8 channel@720P, 4 channel@1080P realtime recording

hi. no you will see no change at all.

Hi. it might be worth you just buying a DVR with remote viewer and that has good Iphone and android apps. then you have full control of your camera from anywere and be able to record also.

Cat5 with baluns is the way to go for you. but one thing i would check before you go buying anything. is see if your DVR allows you to add extra cameras. alot of people forget this till its to late.

which is not a good thing.

Why would they do that when POR (Power On Restart) is a standard function inside all electronics? Power cycle does the hard reset. It's a rhetorcial question. every time you have say a power cut you dont want to have to keep programing camera. so stores info...... you need a hard reset for lost passwords or camera relocate. and also with alot of Taiwanese manuals ground means neutral. which looks like is the problem of this post.

its very clear in the manual what to do with the ground wire. 1. leave at camera end (not connected) 2. extend to Recorder location and incorperate into push button for camera hard reset. NOT a ground put it another way. avtech did not build a hard reset into the camera .... so instead of re-designing the case they have added external fix. (ground to live) for hard reset)

aahpat. there is not much more anyone can say. you have had info from many members in the industry if you total it up into years .... it will be a few ears experiance your avtech ground wire SHOULD NOT BE CONNECTED PERMANENT it is only a reset wire and should only be used to reset. NOT AS A GROUND. just plug and play your camera.

avtech ground is a manual rest............... which you will never use. just install your camera and enjoy. if you are still confused. there are only a few cameras on the market with ground reset. most have a reset button that does the same thing

Hi. you could turn everything up run your dvr at max. or replace hard drive for smaller. but to be honest why bother. you might have a time were you need to leave your dvr for a few days. holidays or something like that

Hi. yes it is a waste of money. this is a problem with the likes of dahua and CM. there units control the cameras ....... look for a NVR that takes what you have cameras set too. if you want to use the dahua 16 the use 16 1mp cameras. but then you have to think if the extra cost from analog to MP is worth the extra money

hi. if using PSS to control. you need to be a administrator if you have not setup accounts yet use admin passwords and not user.

hi yes they are good little systems. good apps and some good updates comming out. Installer been using avers for years

hi yes they are good little systems. good apps and some good updates comming out.

sorry is that not what i said. why talk of another format that has nothing to do with this post. so yes all cameras are digital AT the camera but is them compressed for analog............ camera digital DVR digital link from both analog. signal.

TVL has nothing to do with coax. like has been said in so many posts camera TVLs is just a sales pitch camera (analog) sale specs are of te camera. years ago it was not a problem but people buy on BEST spec. what they dont know is they list the best of the camera i.e in black and white mode. like some past posts people ask why CNB are only 580tvl that because they are talking colour. there are two ways to spec a camera. analog or digital. digital always looks better but you have to remember the digital process is before it is converted to analog to go via coax then back to digital at the DVR so before you even have a image the quality has already been down graded with the conversion

Hi. yes there te same cards. but both dahua and hik cards (new in the passed 12 months) must be ran on wide screen monitors...... there was a time dahua listed types of monitors to use as it was a problem when first came out

if your found in the UK with that in your pocket ..... your looking at 15 years in prison any chance you sending it to someone i know here in the uk

Hi. John. i know your always on the look out for IP cameras. what your friend is asking for the GE. i would keep it for yourself.

if you are going dahua nvr. just remember you are limited to MP. stick with 1.3mp if your only using a 4 way. and then you cant run your ip at full res

Hi Brent1971. since you already have cameras in place. then your first option is to change your DVR. then see which cameras you are not happy with. these units are D1 and also hybrid. so you can install either better analog cameras if needed and if requied you can also start using MP ip http://surveillance.aver.com/model/embedded-hybrid-DVR-EH1008H-4-Nano

Just spoke to Avermedia and they no longer stock those cards. Any other options would be most appreciated. Cheers no they dont make it anymore. but still places to buy. and it still has support and software updates. which is why i sent you a link. all avers use the same OSD now.

Hi. buying from direct from china has got easier. (on paper) but its far from cheaper than buying from your own country if something goes wrong. it only takes phone calls to a manufacturer to find your supplier.
