hi. lead kits are never a good idea. even if you use a lead kit or a reel of cat5 with baluns the work involved with installing them is the same. as soon as you have installed to 2 cameras the two blank screens are going to drive you potty. with using cat5 (and not lead kits) you can have 4 cameras down 1 cable. or run 1 cat5 to the rear of your house and 1 cat5 to the front and that gives you 2 cameras at rear with power and 2 at front. if your only going for 2 analog cameras. and not looking for MP ip then i would look at a dahua kit. dahua DVR / 4 cameras / power supply / all BNC connectors / 100m of rg59 and power cable / stripping tools / and crimp set for less than half your budget.

these units are best run on wide screen monitors. have you tried pluging a camera direct into your monitor to see what you get.

hi. no it would cost you more extention lead then 12v power supply

it is very good. for both PC and mac. it takes a bit to get used too and learn but not hard.

hi. Dave. no DVR will only do video ... for power you will need to either install a local power supply (same area as camera) or use a multi output unit .... this can be installed along side your dvr.

Hi reg-x cams are a very basic close range setup. first you do not need D1 cif is best for these cameras. also with using CIF you should keep that camera channel on 24hr record. if you use D1 and any thing like motion you will not get a plate.

hi. andy. pm sent

hi Pm sent.

Hi Pal251. have you looked at these brackets. most domes internal or external mount to them. they give a lot more options for mounting plus has good cable management without having to also install connection box. around $16.

hi andy. am 80mile from the unit. i think i see your problem. you cant enter ptz menu direct from dvr you have to be on remote viewer .... have you tried that ?

hi andy. something is wrong with how you are doing it. either you are trying on the unit its self (which you cant) its works on every PTZ we have installed on avers. these i have just logged into its a nano 16 hit 11 and direct from android phone.

hi. another cost effective way is aver NVR. 16 channel 5mp on each. supports most ip without licence. multi monitor outputs full CMS + +

hi. can you give a detailed list of your setup. just reading your post it could be lots of things to burn your cards out. 24v putting out 44v ....... did you have your meter set right ???............. 44v into a 24v camera = smoke and sparks. if this is down to voltage down coax. you would have seen this as soon as you connected to the card. but you could also have a problem if some cameras are fitted to a steel building. this could also be that your dvr build does not have air cooling. building 8 or 16ways is ok but going 32 you need lots of fans (we run 8 on ours) some to take in air some to take out. a over heating card will give the same results. can you list specs of your dvr / camera types / cable used (coax or cat5) type of power supply / and camera distance.

hi. simple way is with coax seal tape. it does a much better job http://buylmr400.com/m-linerless-rubber-splicing-tape-130c-coax-seal/

hi. for that distance in your picture i would not go below 2mp and also dont buy with IR internal it will be usless at that distance.

hi. not a problem. when you have your cam setup give us all a look at how the JVC looks. you can post them here. viewtopic.php?f=19&t=11322&p=195015&hilit=ip+images#p195015

hi after a reset user >>> admin password >>>> vn-v2x

hi. hit reset 5 times. then use 192.168.0.2 to setup (from I.E local)

bullet cameras at the hight you have is your picture can and will be moved by people or kids passing even stolen. since your cameras are not looking for any distance i would look at the mini CNB it is only the size of a golf ball. in white / black or gray i dont recommend pre-made cables to start with. RG59 or in your case i would use cat5 with baluns (you only need 1 cable for your install to run the 3 cameras at the front) chopping connectors of the camera ends in most cases will void warranty

Hi. first off yes i would return your system for a refund. looking at the spec you cant workout what it is your buying Display Resolution 720x480 (N), 720x576 (P) Recording Resolution CIF : 352x240 (N), 352x288 (P) 2CIF : 704x240 (N), 704x288 (P) 4CIF : 704x480 (N), 704x576 (P) sounds good then they put this. Monitoring Speed 120 / 100 ips @ CIF (NTSC / PAL), **Guaranteed Recording Speed 120 / 100 ips @ CIF (NTSC / PAL), **Guaranteed Playback Speed 120 / 100 ips @ CIF (NTSC / PAL), **Guaranteed monitoring speed is the same as Display resolution................... it all point to a cif system. you want at least a 4cif or D1 looking at your house i would use domes and not bullets. as for a DVR look at all the posts for a dahua unit of Dahua (use search top right of this page) you will find screen shots and software threads (dahua kits) are not much more than the maplins unit

not on the new nano. it does have hdmi. also another change is the limit of IP cameras on the old it was max 5mp on first channel only and 1.3 on 234. now the unit is total 8mp across all 4. the update to the app has play back and snap shot and also switch on and off of sensors (or lights if relay fitted)

hi. your first test should be to log on via WAN not using your ddns account. just use your external ip and port. http://yourexternal-ip:portnumber you can find your external ip by clicking here from the same network your dvr is on. http://www.whatismyip.com/

which is why i said picture in picture................ no point buying something that is built to display 4 cameras like your QC-904R just like his dvr he is not going to use to its full for PIP you just need to add 1 of these to channel 1 and 2 on your dvr. if your in the US i have sent a link to the PIP box

which i thing he has been told i think were getting mixed up. PRO or HD the new units. will not work with old units the I range from qvis or known as HD range dahua and it is bad when qvis is cheaper than the makers for the apps so if the op is asking for the pro then its qvis (or dahua its the HD) but its still the same you cant load new HD firmware onto a old dahua and expect to use the new apps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mm.android.direct.adatahd&hl=en

some DVRs will do picture in picture ....... but not yours. you can buy a cctv picture in picture box either 2 split or full screen and small second camera image ........ some have motion and will flick from cameras. but its the cost. you are better adding 2 more cameras to your system than PIP.
