    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.

    Issues with baluns

    same applies to those who dont understand baluns and cat5. Circuit board in a balun ...... this could be your problem...... it a coil. but calm down a little. some installers like coax some like cat5 and neither reflects how someone runs there company

    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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  10. 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
  11. Hi. the discovery range are NOT apollos (dahuas) it is there own budget range
  12. 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.
  14. 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

    TV out on a 6480 card

    Hi. John. no its not normal. but there are other settings you might need to look at. with your problem is it flashing with the number of all cameras selected ??
  16. Hi pelo when entering your external into I.E you should use the following .... alot of new users try www. which does not work. try http://your external ip :port number if you dont know your external google myip from a PC on your home network.
  17. hi. you could just have a simple problem as a faulty ethernet cable. or you have you DVR and router to far apart from each other.
  18. Hi. we know your router as a BT 2 wire. does it look like this ??? if so forget adding your DVR ip to it. when you have all connected go into router and look at devices connected. you will see all your devices as Mac addresses. you may ned to unplug your dvr and back in to see which its mac address is. then write it down. go to services and then dropdown box and look for your dvr mac address then click firewall and you can then give the mac address a name i.e CCTV then below ports allow enter yours then save and log out

    CNB VBM-24VF

    Sorry to dig an old one up, but did you ever get the focusing issues resolved? I'm getting the same issues with my CNB, I'm starting to think its just noise reduction smearing and not really a focus issue. hi. for CNB it is best to focus at night to get the best from your camera. but you have another issue. and its not camera related...... i would work on the ghosting problem you have first.
  21. is this for a mobile unit ??? lots of equipment for analog via gps box. but not seen anything for IP what is its use

    Aposonic A-E650 Info out there?

    this is were the forum saves you money. geo does not sell on ebay and they dont support ebay or amazon sellers. geo are the most copied cards on the market. you will have no updates or firmware support. if you are only looking for a 4 way card look at the NV3000 MP on 1 channel other 3 analog or all 4 analog and cheaper than geo from a distributor.
  23. hi. yes your right. 1024 x 768 is width x hight. width x hight and pixel are only a form of measurements ..... you need data to give the quality
