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.

Hi. even if you have an old pc around a good budget card Hybrid. is the aver NV3000 if you have a budget of around £60

hi. you can only get out of your dvr what the codec allows. its not just as easy as updating the cameras. if you plug both cameras direct into a TV you may see a differance

hi. yes it will work. but a lot of expence to end up with a much less IR lighting. say your current camera with 860 has a range of 20ft if you change the IR to 940 your range is then down to 8ft

Hi which option are you choosing to record from nvr or PC and vms.

Hi. If your getting pms also about products . Then just be aware the dahua will not run 16 Sony 1.3 megapixel cameras.

Hi. it depends on how old your unit is. 2010 models do need to have a HD format every few months. also are you using standard drives ?

Hi. for this type of install i would look at something better than kits. the samsung you have listed is a plug and play unit and these give problems ...... you only need the power supply to go and full system is down. then you have other problems like adding extra cameras. hybrids are not as expensive as you think. for carparks and play area a good MP camera will give better coverage than 1 or even 2 analog cameras

Hi. TVLs dont mean much. and 700 is just a sales pitch. dvrs are also limited. the reason why you see budget priced and pro price.

Oops- sorry. But is there not a make and model number in that post too?? Yes there is..... But its just a make and model FROM manufacture Please don't turn a post into something else

hi. yes the aver nano EH1004H-4 it is in your price range and offers alot more as it is hybrid.

Hi. before a lot of work is put into your install or homework it is best to start with the regulations in your state. state laws regulate video surveillance in daycare centers so that is your best place to start
