hi. i would go with buying HD already installed ...... best going with manufatures recommended HD

hi i would also go...... axis first then look at the sony SNC-RZ25N next then bosh before i would look at the vivotek and D-link is over priced. axis and sony are around the same spec size login site available for the sony if you need a play

hi a ship in open waters you will need satellite broadband 3g or wifi will not work. it used to be a silly price to setup but over the years its come down but still slow we use it on ships around the UK. not much good for 24hr remote viewing we have units sending recordings back every hour.

hi. you will need to give a lot more information. number of cameras / network if any / central location for system. but i think you are best giving your budget costs first

hi. not all DVRs will playback audio some just allow you to listen in realtime. for a standalone you will need powered speakers as they dont have amps fitted. something like this.

so if the op is on budget package from verizon ....... he should be able to do the same thing as a customer with a $200 a month package. (and you dont portforward port 80) it was just a option to call verizon before he spends another month trying to set it up. you should be able without portforwarding see your system over your LAN so a few things to look at. your link cable from router to dvr .... is it ok also how far is the cable run. the other is your q-see dvr its 5 years old whick I.E are you using some of there old units will not have support (old TVT )

hi. before you put anymore hours into the setup. call verizon to see if they have blocked your router. we helped a forum member last year over the net and got the system working. then last month verizon did a update and blocked portforwarding. even to the point you cant change the router. they will allow but at the next monthly rate up. we are looking at a work around at the moment but even then i think they will keep altering there routers. i think we are going to see alot of verizon customers comming on here once they have had a update done (just an excuse to get more money )

hi from your work you are not on LAN you will be on WAN (your just connecting to your works network) 3g to WAN (the demo site) will be good on mobile you will have big bandwidth problems going 3g to 3g. (air to air internet) you could to save some bandwidth switch off cameras to the network that you dont need to view from remote. with 3g viewing the less cameras the better

hi. is your home network wireless and 3g or just 3g ???? you should be using two types of ip while at home it would be 192.168.x.x your LAN. but if your router is not wireless then you will have no LAN the reason why you can connect to the demo and get a good speed is its on a network ..... you will see your system being slower over 3g your data may be limited

hi. local control with rs485 will be fine. the youtube video is a network controller (controller and ptz can be miles apart from each other)

hi. which mobile do you have ... and which app have you loaded ??

hi. before you buy any cameras look at the quality of the dvr. in your post you have 1 listed that says D1 good quality............ its not till you get to the spec that its D1 viewing live only recording is only done at CIF. which is no good for your setup (store use) Maximum Recording Resolution...................................................CIF (352 x 288) Recording Speed (Frame) 30 FPS per Camera (NTSC) / 25 FPS (PAL) please spend more on cameras than the budget q-see or owl. your looking at something to give your good images in a retail store.

hi. both the controller and camera can be had from dahua (the 1.3 is old now) they now have a 2mp and the IR range is good for around 80m they say 100m .. as far as the slow controls on the video..................... that is not slow at all. (and it is not over 485) its over network.

hi andy. concept pro is a CNB and yes 95 is menu command. never tried the concept on the nano but it should be the same. hit 9 then 5 within 5 seconds

hi. i have just checked on two dvrs via remote and it worked. can you put a mouse onto your dvr and try it ??? click number 1 twice withing 5 seconds and menu pops up. can you list firmware (under settings) if you have not done a firmware for a while a new one was out last week for the nanos

hi way to old for mac use. its a 6 year old unit ..... the updated is the dahua

that is only because your using segment ....... on all avers for 7 years you can only pick segment from a hour clip .......... so you cant go into 2 or 3 hours. go into backup and you can .......... or in backup you click hour block then click next hour block or hour block from another week. and remember on the hour block you can also righ mouse click and set the time of the footage needed. and again you can pick format before burning native. avi or dvr direct all of which also place auto player.

hi. i think images have been mixed up this is not 3mp cant read the clock on right had side (i have seen 1.3mp do better) i can read the clock on right hand side. snap shots are opposite to your first post vivotek AVS

segment is only for a max of 1 hour or parts of that hour ............ backup is the standard way to backup data and you pick from the drop down box on what format. backup can be from 1 min to full month and is the standard for evidence as is watermarked and electronic signature

why not just use backup instead of segment time ???

Yes that's the thread I started!! Anyway the seller has paid for the replacement base which I've managed to source. Now I just need to work out how to access the OSD menu using my Averdigi Nano DVR. I've another thread running about that so if you have any ideas I'd appreciate the input. hi. for all avers you pull up PTZ controls click 1 twice (within 5 seconds) and your into ptz camera menu.

Hi. andy click on PTZ controls then click 1 -1 within 5 seconds will take you into ptz menu

nathan. all verifocal need adjustment its fixed lens that dont. or auto zoom / auto focus

we. have 3 sets (got them free) spend so much with one of our UK suppliers and you get a set free. ideal for service engineers and job estimators ..... good as loft ladder

cameras have nothing to do with recording in cif or D1........ that is down to your recorder.
