NVR Software Reviews
tomcctv replied to buellwinkle's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
hi. there is no way you can test software from demos from a company. if your not hands on with the equipment then you dont know how it proforms. that will be down to you having no Experience either with the software or how to add patch. The best place for people to come is a forum. ask people who have used software and get real demos and footage samples. not only that but installers have been on Courses (which take you past what is found in manuals) and can i just point out. 100s of people on the forum give advice and help total free to members. it is a bit insulting when YOU keep directing members from the forum to YOUR website. taking free info from here from members to build your website up is just Defeating the Object -
What difference in Blue and Red IR LED`s ?
tomcctv replied to stephanovich's topic in Security Cameras
hi. another way is to setup a security light and a camera to give you the light you need. put 1 as close to your problem area as possable. you can pick these up for £40 no power needed. and along with a good camera you should get the footage you need. UK police now use SPO officers to domestic problems and they are limited to what they can do. so the better your images the more you can do. -

found 5 american dynamics cctv camers and want to add them
tomcctv replied to halsaps's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
hi no not from B&Q. you will get everything from City electrical factors. you can do it with either cat5 or coax. how far will the cameras be from your dvr and do you have mains power near to where you are installing your cameras ??? -
must be a typo ..... is your wall 40ft ???? or did you mean 52 inch. we have two 60 inch for 64 cameras and a 50 inch for alarms and emap. on 1 wall.

it is dependant on the routers ip. but with using BT it does not change as much as other ISPs and BT sell static cheap anyway. i would just set your system up first without a ddns and get there new router (there free) if you have been with them over 12 months. and get a static ip. dahua (which is your dvr) are also about to bring out there own ddns which area are you in ?
-
hi. yes it can be connected to a ddns service. can i ask why you are on the old BT router. i would think about getting the new one and then not use a ddns service.

Advice on Installing RG59+2 cable in UK homes
tomcctv replied to smcctv's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi vic. you are best using cat5 (you only need 1 cable) and power your cameras from your loft. in the uk hidding in the cafity wall can be easy of not at all. this will depend on how old your house is and if you have (or will ) have cavity wall insulation. can you draw a little picture of your layout ?? -
hi. simple way is a 4 way balun at DVR then cat5 to area to another 4 way balun then coax from balun to camera. cat5 is always best as a single run with no connections.

all that is being pointed out is auto tracker does not work. you video is only a few minurtes long but its taken over a hours worth of footage to make it. i know ou have done a lot of work and you like the auto tracker. but auto tracker is not new. avermedia have it as standard on all there DVRs and it works but only because it needs alarm settings to activate it (it will auto track for a reason) if you type warrenty for PTZ with auto tracker into google you will see just how bad auto tracking is. axis 3 years on PTZ if used with auto tracker or motion detect the warrenty is down to 3 months its the same with pano - pelco .

i would look at the winner5 chip or CNB before i would buy effio cameras and if possable not use IR cameras.
-
Hi. you can use these at your existing camera to attach your new lenth of cat5 to your existing cat5 for both video and power to your new location and then just use baluns at new camera and at DVR
-
hi. i would look for a D1 dvr. there is no mention of your link being D1 ---30fps i would say its a CIF unit also for that money why does it not have links to iphone or android apps. (what apps does it use)
-
another thing about auto-track is its not supposed to be used as a full feature of the camera you will be lucky if you get 3 months out of your camera before it gives up. not only the work the plastic gears are going through but also its always running at max power draw. auto is only good if attached to alarm input either via sensor or from another camera (set as alarm) and it does its job when needed
-
hi. cam you post a picture of your dvr. it could be a avtech - sentinal - q-see or a CNM.

Will this power supply work for this enclosure?
tomcctv replied to cgcmgr's topic in Security Cameras
i think the guy who made the PDF file was on something. yes you are right everything points to 24v untill you look at parts list part 5 24v fan or 5A 12v models only. that is the only time in the PDF that tells there are two types. untill you try to find on the manual about 24v or 12v and its in small lettering on the first page. at bottom. http://www.videolarm.com/literature/Videolarm/Instructions/81-IN5329.pdf Before attempting to connect or operate this product, please read these instructions completely. To be used with the 81-IN5481 Instruction Manual. which is 24v then look over to the right and you see this. 81-IN5329 01-13-2012 which is the Right manual for the 12v dome http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/123securityproducts/81-IN5329.pdf its there mistake with doing a stupid manual ....24v and 12v both have the same manufacture part number. take a look at your fan (part number 5 for 24v or 5A for 12v system) -
Inexpensive - Real Time 4CH D1 Resolution 30FPS DVR
tomcctv replied to nDAlk90's topic in General Analog CCTV Discussion
hi. this is not always the case. CCTV has been around for years well before D1 it was CIF and licence plates and face were geting picked up then. we still see big names still making CIF only DM-samsung- bosh for licence plate applications. there is lt more to the Resolution its also how good the codex is (how much data in each pixel) you can have a DVR with D1 but if it has a crap codex its crap. Re: Inexpensive - Real Time 4CH D1 Resolution 30FPS DVR the ebay listing. it does not take 5 minutes to find out it is CRAP Google is good at saving money if homework is done. there is a phone number on the listing. GOOGLE it you will find the USA seller ..... then look for the ebay listing in his products ..... ill save you some time ITs NOT listed. this tells you it has problems and he needs to sell off quick (bad import choice) if it was good it would be on his site ............. but it looks like they dont want anything to do with them so onto ebay they go and just add the simple words to his listing ....... All the DVR system, cameras, cables are non-refundable which also means no support -

Hi. viewing over wan or mobile network will have nothing to do with camera choice. (camera to dvr yes) but a system with a media stream is always better than a java stream which is a refresh image. how many cameras ???
