are they. lots of companies do say D1 just as they also say real time recording. its always been a problem in the industry hyped up specs to sell. there is nothing bad or wrong about 4 cif it is a fact and not the same format as TRUE D1. lets take some specs. 8 Channel DVR | Real-time | CIF/D1 Resolution | H.264 Model: QT428 first lets start with real time. ...>>>>>> what the spec does not tell you is real time is only in its lower res (cif) now the specs D1. D1 Recording Option 60 FPS (7.5 FPS Per Channel) D1 Playback Resolution 704x480 for a start 704x480 is not true D1 it is best 4cif so sales spec. 8 Channel DVR | Real-time | CIF/D1 Resolution | H.264 Model: QT428 should read. 8 Channel DVR / none Real-time / 4CIF Resolution /H.264 Model: QT428. because 99% of people will want the best from that unit. like i said there is nothing wrong with 4cif its just NOT true D1 and they are hard to find at full real time 720x480 and when you do there not £300 DVRs

hi. if you log onto your router example 192.168.1.1 then yes i would leave as default. but if you log onto your router example 192.168.0.1 then yes you will have to change it. port 80 you can leave as it is

hi. you may not need to use a ddns service with using virgin. best just setting up without (saves problems) i will PM you the instuctions on portforwarding for your hub.

No. one thing people get wrong is 4cif is NOT true D1. this has and always will be a problem in the industry 4cif (in cif world) yes is the highest. and every body calls it D1 (sales pitch) were the true fact is D1 is its own format and should not be used to explain cif format. there are not many true D1 format dvrs around

hi. can you post a image or details of your PTZ.

hi. lots of support and good software can be had from these units. also good alarm inputs. i see you monitor a pool. unlike your old DM just by changing your dvr gives you a basic alarm unit as well.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm by no means an expert here, so what do you mean by a D1? Can you offer some examples? hi. your dvr DM has a max res of 704x240 which is standard for that recorder. 704x480 is 4cif and D1 is 720x480. D1 will give you a much better image than what you have. its just that you have old with new. DM are very good even at 704x240 (there own format) and if you had 320 or 480 tvl cameras you images would be good. to get the best out of your new cameras you are best putting them on a D1 res DVR.

hi. it will be ok local. try changing your screen size when you try from your external ip (away from home)

hi wils. this may work for you. change your screen resolution lower then log back into your dvr and see if it plays your footage.

hi. there are two types of eco ... 2004 or 2005. you have old and new mix with that dvr and your cameras >>> your not getting the best from your cameras. i would look at changing your dvr. for a D1

hi 704x480 is not D1 ........... also make sure your not just looking at display resolution. which is not its true recording rate

hi for iphone. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/i-rams/id349444644?mt=8

hi. for the distances your talking of you are best looking at mini PTZs with TDN and auto focus. with good auto and manual shutter speed settings. to catch birds Armoured Fireproof / Vandalproof IP66 / DAY & NIGHT AUTO FOCUS 100x ZOOM / 10x Optical and 10x Digital if your in the UK then sunkwang cameras are under your budget and long warranty.

hi you need to burn off via pen drive. format memory stick (fat32) and it will auto detect in burn off. dont use any memory stick over 1gb

hi. the best thing is have a go. install your network cable (how long is your ethernet run ???) look though some manuals and then if its not all clear you will get lots of help from the forum. the avtech is a simple setup. what make is your router and who is your ISP (internet supplier)

hi. yes lots of info around for your dvr. it is a AVTECH AVC760 http://www.dvrsecuritylab.com/pages.php?pageid=9 http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-3203544243593090288#

green drives are useless for cctv (its even listed on gv site) standard and eco drives together will give you problems.

hi remove your remote viewer from pc and reload it again (your unit will also run on dahuas PSS remote software)

hi a green drive is also a bad apple in your system.

hi you have a avtech DVR. all basic apps are free for your system. you can find links here (on left hand side) EagleEyes is the name of the apps you need for iphone or android. http://www.avtech.com.tw/ee_about.aspx

hi. they do run on PC and mac as standard

hi. i would give both trendnet and the samsung you listed a miss. Trendnet...... are just webcams samsung ....... limited plug and play. (only samsung cameras) with you already having axis and looking to back it up with cheaper cameras you are best looking at a hybrid. this gives you the option to run both IP and analog. POE ........... i think you are looking at poe for ease of install analog can also be power video /audio over 1 cat5. if you are on a budget ........ you dont need to install everything all at once. just buy your hybrid install your axis and then buy more ip or analog as you go along. if you buy cheap you pay twice. this hybrid will run either 8 analog cameras or 4 analog and 4 - 2mp cameras or channel 1 upto 5mp and the other 3 1.3 http://surveillance.aver.com/model/embedded-hybrid-DVR-EH1008H-4-Nano analog cameras i would look at CNB range for low cost IP mp cameras you can find these on the forum. but they also come as 1.3mp or 2mp (they will make trendnet look like toys. HBZ2fnQpP-0

hi. no not over a network adaptor. ..... you can get video over power. but the quality of images are useless. how far are you looking at sending your video. .... can you not get cat5 ............ other ways ........ do you have existing phone lines from dvr to camera locations

hi scorpion. what have you been told about going missing from the forum for long times. yes i did notice last week your site was down ...... needed a manual you left me in the Sxxt. all credit to you...... you put alot of work and sweat into your website and i bet helped 1000s of people (hope your felling guilty ) you should have looked at selling your site ............. you have done to much work to just let it go. you need to be back on the forum more now.>>>>>>>> since people still need your brain and Knowledge >>>>guilt guilt guilt<<<<<< best website for manuals and firmware

+ 1 for futuresentry. and also put the sensors on the boats and in the ground around the perimeter. you can have upto 15. sensors. there system comes with everything except camera. it take analog or MP. i would look at installing Arecont D/N cameras into the housing
