  1. Hi. for a airport application i dont think a fixed MP camera is the way to go. its a lot of money just to have 1 field of view. in your case the runway, which might be all you need. but to have an option to move the camera gives you greater options on money you will be spanding. just watching a runway 24/7 its doing its job if you have lots of flight in and out in a day. but if you are only looking at say private flights only a few a day then your camera is not working for you. use a PTZ and not only will it watch your runway but you can also have it do security work. most airfields have display or open days again your investment will work for you there. Sony have a very good PTZ for not much more than your budget if you want to have a play with a live camera PM me and i will send you the link

    hi. if you have more than 1 point you will also need to put a faceplate filter on each one. or just use a plug-in filter on each outlet.

    CCTV Distribution in House

    Hi. if you have coax or cat5 to every tv then £46 will buy you a 1 in 8 out dis amp. tv out from dvr to box gives you upto 8 outputs and boosted.
  5. sorry yes dropbox has a problem. in pics in place. they do its called PSS. it does take time to learn. but once everything is done via the PSS then just using DVR mouse will make it simple. admin then admin. then shuts down. you can also remove passwords from the PSS software.

    you could also have a problem with your phone line. every output MUST have a filter and its also best to run off the master than a secondery outlet. as extentions if not done right (called spidered) will also give you slow functions.
  7. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/English/product_info.aspx?type=339&&css=0&&id=8 for a lot less money and onboard storage or in the UK (only) avers does a 1.3mp for around £90. but you still need a housing for that. but has audio.

    swann are very basic systems. to cut down on bandwidth try making another remote viewing account with just your PTZ available. i.e. set up a remote password for full system and another password just for your PTZ. also with a sunkwang i would change from 9600 to 2400
  9. Hi. its like everything new. time is needed to learn everything. to set snapshot. just go into PSS software then at bottom you will see config click that then options. then you will see where snapshots are sent. you can change this rule to say your desktop to make it easy.
  10. Hi. yes in ireland and the UK the geo is expensive remember it is only a 1.3mp with a price range of. £340 to £480 ($700 to $900) while others are lowering there prices geo needs to follow. have a shop around first your in the price range of 2 or 3mp external cameras. and by the time you put the geo into a housing you are looking at around £500 which is over a $1,000

    Cameras and neighbors

    Hi. its always a better option to plan a system were neighbours are not involved. CCTV is your protection and if install right then no conflicts with neighbours. and if its your new house. your the new neighbour. no one wants to have a cctv lodger looking over there property. if your in the States then some states have regulations that may be worth checking ..... but if your system is planned good from the start then you have no issues to start with.

    log in with expolorer issue

    Hi. i would remove your link. you have not done any protection on it. everything works fine ...... you are best off removing all your dvr activex files and starting again.
  14. Can you advice me with an inexpensive 4 way kit can do my requirements for me. and practical one. Hi. where are you based and what is your budget.
  15. Hi. for a shop use you are going to be looking at a big expensive SD card. you would be better off just buying a 4 way kit much better than cheap SD card cameras.

    New Dahua DVR

    hi. not with a Dahua ...... its limited from the start. its not a true hybrid.... your limitd both with analog and ip if using the 960h hybrid. with older cameras. they are fine but if the software was done before Onvif then you are going to be stuck if dahua does not have a workable patch to enable your cameras to work

    Quality RG59, where to buy?

    Hi. buying cable online seams a waste of time. ..... its not the lightest thing to ship ..... and if you have a problem reel its your cost sending back. best off calling to your local electrical distributor....... they should also hold some in stock for you. cat5 is another way to go.

    New Dahua DVR

    Hi. its been out for a long time. For the price it is very limited to other better hybrids out there. even with another hybrid you can run 16 1mp cameras and not be limited as you will be with the dahua / hikvision.
  20. Hi. i looked at the website and none of them is a dahua. so you cant use there apps. this is the problem with some band names ....... they can change software but still keep the case the same. but what you have bought is qvis own make DVR and has nothing to do with qvis dahua rebrand
  21. Hi. the discovery range are NOT apollos (dahuas) it is there own budget range
  22. Hi. you could change your phone to android. there are a few free apps that work i.e ip cam viewer lite

    TV out on a 6480 card

    hi John. your still showing as active and working on the aver server............... do you want me to delete it.
  24. Hi. the extender you have listed is known as the piramid in the UK. you will need two sets for a house. (they bounce off each other) But they are useless without video. as in you also need to run cables to your TV. the apollo is a dahua DVR unit. if it is staying in the loft i would connect your DVR via internet over power. then i would just buy a cheap android tv box ( start from 60 - £70) and have control with the app
