hi a camera looking at anything is a surveillance system. without any monitoring you will have the risk of the camera being down when needed or lens has crap on it . how are you going to power the camera ???? lots of ways to get live view from remote sites...... these will be city cameras. do you have hotspots or 3-4g none of which are expensive.

hi. this is one of the times that calculators dont work. at a road intersection motion detect will not work. it will at night (low traffic) so everyday someone needs to drive to camera and download footage ???? getting network to the camera will be best. record at monitoring location and be able to monitor 24/7

hi. no that will not work. you would also need to add a modulator ........ it would be cheaper to just buy a $10 USB dvr from the likes of amazon

hi. with having a 32 way you can have upto 32 ptz. A&B connects to all cameras. if you are thinging of adding more ask about the dahua PTZ .... with you having the Dahua you dont need a controller or OSD controls. all you need to do is click ptz camera then your mouse becomes the controller .... move mouse left ..your ptz moves left same with right and up and down mouse wheel is your zoom in and out

to be honest going though build your own just for a foscam is a lot of work for a basic camera. look at a 4 way aver or dahua. hide the dvr in the holiday home and you will have a better system. plus its not an expensive way to have 4 cameras and you can also cover outdoors. network it all watch from anything remote and even record to another PC. holiday homes are best with more than 1 camera incase 1 goes down.

that is the old sanyo P. you are looking at 8 years old. you also need the viewing software to view on a PC. and also the people you give the footage to will also need the player. you can like you said go direct to video player. but if you are going to keep the system then i would go for something like the avermedia converter. it will give your dvr a few more years use. plug into monitor out into pc press record on pc screen display direct to dvd. http://www.avermedia.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=505

hi if all cameras are showing video loss then it points to your power supply. you can pick up a new one for a round $60 but i would look at this type that the small single unit with fly leeds from q-see.

Hi. its an old but good cnb V1310NIR before the days of mona or i-blue.

hi. new software sent via PM.

hi some more info is needed regarding your dvr. your camera does have audio ... you just need a cable from the white RCA to your dvr audio in. some DVRs will play live audio but not record it.

for £1.49 look to see if it is a balun. Ebay is full of these and there calling them baluns WHICH THERE NOT. THIS is what you need to look for.

hi which ports have you forwarded in your router ??? also where you have used > SMTP: smtp.gmail.com use this instead. 66.249.93.111

hi ssmith10pn. software sent via PM.

hi with it being a Restaurant is all money done at till area ??? there are some good DVRs out with good POS. and for a restaurant till money and orders to kitchen can also be logged (if you have electronic ordering) that way you can see orders as well as till cash for a little 4 way i would look at the aver hybrid it has utp pos and searchable data base i.e put in pepsi and it will tell you how many was sold that day. the good thing about going hybrid for the dvr 1 of your cameras (or all) can be a good mp camera which will give you good coverage of your cash register area

hi yes that is the same with most if bought when fitted. but i had a look at the sales link some say record for 2 years and this link just cracks me up. Product Description The SN501-16CH-006 is a do-it-yourself video security package that has it all. Protect your property, valuables, and family with advanced features that you can setup yourself. Know who enters your property even when you are away with the online viewing feature that lets you check in from any computer in the world with Internet Explorer. Access your DVR's live footage from your smart phone. This security system is loaded with user-friendly features that will help keep your business or home safe and secure. The SN501-16CH-006 is an effective and simple security solution that can record over 8 years of continuous video on the built-in 500GB hard drive. thats on Amazon. i dont know what your customer is looking for in data storage but they might be better looking at setting the dvr to its optimum settings i.e motion record only. some DVRs like the aver will backup via usb from a time given. but then you are just wasting money on hard drives. 16 cameras on a aver set to smart record on 1tb drive will give 25-30 days storage

hi. first thing i would do is swap the problem camera with another you have installed and see if it does the same in another location. and make shure that the camera is not looking at any light in its FOV. the problem with kits is power supplies and the cable used. (yours has din connectors to RCA) and 60ft long. with all cameras being IR when they switch over some power units dont have enough power for the surge and 1 or 2 camera might not switch over. and thin wires can also limit amps needed. can you give details of your power supply volts and amps .

if you need to pay for a avers app then its not from aver ... they are all free. another neat way for ipad is to load remote viewer onto windows based avers and that way you get full OSD with full control. its on test but will be out soon.

Are you saying the DVR has a an encoder and wireless chip that can connect to wireless networks or a dvr that wirelessly transmits an analog signal? Do you have a model number? hi its the new range from dahua wifi and 3g 3g is only for sending alarms from dvr if used in a remote location. part number are not being releast till next week they are a network dongle that can be programmed

hi tyco are good cameras. sold in the uk by honeywell. for 100 and 200 meters then i would put in a dedicated power supply or seperate power at each location. also for that distance i would use cat5 with baluns.

hi your budget is a bit low for anything more than a good 4 way camera system. as far as a PTZ £400 would just buy a good CNB ptz alone. dahua zeus 4 way DVR ... 4 F/v D/N cameras power supplies reel of rg59 all fittings and full BNC tool kit (stripper-crimper-) is just about your budget.

Hi. i think what you are asking is can you use the usb as extra storage ??? no that is not possable it is used just for backup ..... and is limited to size. you might be better just going from 500gb to 1tb drive. (if your dvr supports it.

hi. aver iphone app is fine....... if you have poor res it will be the stream settings on the dvr. next to handy viewer you have options to change the res.

hi. or screw on connectors. yellow to + and black to -

hi. tommy i take it the cameras are still controlled via the hand controller ??? the problem with the old baxall is they have no protocol so your 485 is usless from your dvr. you can spend the money and convert the data but with having the WBX (controls on camera) it is very costly. to the point you will save money buying new cameras and the fact you are converting very old cameras.

get it right the forum members info for free .......... is it not the same thing. we have sponsors advertisers that keeps the forum going ..... you can call it a blog or what ever you want But its not a forum blog if it stayed on the forum then ok but to direct visitors away to another website is not.
