Can't figure out password on Dahua based DVR
tomcctv replied to pal251's topic in Digital Video Recorders
for todays password 25-4-12 use 665600, tomorrow 26-4-12 use 092224 (both codes will be useless after 12pm on each day) as soon as you are into your system reset codes back to factory then reboot. -

Blue screen of one camera
tomcctv replied to edimaxz's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
hi. take a look at your screen layout first. it all looks mest up. moving cams 1 and 2 will not help your image shows cams 5 and 8 . plug your cameras direct into a TV and see if they both work first -

Why are IP cameras so expensive!?
tomcctv replied to howardino's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
you dont have to take it seriously. if you dont understand thats your problem but i will try to explain it better for you. $100 p&s is not waterproof. ...... cant be mounted to wall ..... cant be out in all weathers ....... cant be networked so YES IP will be a little more expensive because of the way it is made (why is that so hard to figure out ???) -
Why are IP cameras so expensive!?
tomcctv replied to howardino's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
it does have alot to do with housings. ok let him stick his $100 10mp camera out in the rain snow heat. it would not last 5 minutes. so add a little more money to his $100 camera. then you need network connection so add a little more money to his $100 camera. software add some more money to his $100 you dont need a calculator to see he needs to spend a little more for a security camera -

tomcctv replied to camera-newbie's topic in System Design
hi. the vario has been available in the uk for over 12 months saw it at ifsec last year. dont know why its not available in america ...... please do not buy from the link you have posted.

Why are IP cameras so expensive!?
tomcctv replied to howardino's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
hi. you do have that the wrong way round. can your pocket cam send you footage .... can you record away from your pocket camera. ..... can your pocket camera run for more than a hour........ will it last outdoors in all weathers for more than a few months remember your not taking pictures which your camera may do but the video is not 10mp -

tomcctv replied to howardino's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. yes true but if you only want say 1 or 2 pictures a day or a few minutes of video .... have no networking have no viewing (live) much much more to look into than cost. -
on a q-see you have only two options run PAL or NTSC system. pick PAL and yes you need a pal tv (composite out) vga will be ok.

Need DVR motion detection fullscreen no boarder.
tomcctv replied to ck38's topic in General Digital Discussion
you do know that motion detection and motion record are two types of setup. just switch your recording method to motion record (same thing) and then you will also have 5sec pre record motion setup is not for your camera full field its for putting detection zones in the field of view. -
so long as you dont mix cameras. you can only switch to PAL or NTSC . and you can only use vga out if you pic Pal.
-
Love it.... its even worded in such a way that you cant send it back manual PTZ and another reason why you dont buy from china biptu your not the first or last to be taken by ebay crap but you dont have a PTZ camera

Dome options for Arecont Vision cameras?
tomcctv replied to thekuai's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
i would spend a little more than $60 for a dome. is there a reason why you want a dome ??? you can use arecont housing or a 3rd party one. you will find you dont need a heater as the camera puts out some good heat anyway. Arecont http://www.arecontvision.com/images/products/HSG1-O-W_xl.jpg -
AVtech EagleEyes (iOS) lags behind and has low FPS
tomcctv replied to ljnl's topic in General Digital Discussion
hi. if it was the eagleeyes software you would see lots of posts on here about it. so you need to look at your network (as tech support says) can you not connect both DVRs to the same router. (dont bridge it) and see what you get. do you have wifi switched off on your second router ?? -
hi. CNB will not reply to emails without a partner code. you cant buy direct. you might find you have email from a distributor.

PTZ Joystick control and DVR control help
tomcctv replied to chongsparks's topic in Video Transmission/Control Devices
hi. yes you can............ but you will have to give more information first to see if the equipment you have supports PTZ control via your remote software, what make is your DVR/NVR does everything work local. how will you be viewing .....PC/ mobile ?? -
hi. had a look at your link system. 16 way and all is good. the CNBs are only fix lens good for your isles but you might also think of swapping a few of the kit cames for some Varifocals around your cash areas and entry/exits. you also should make cash area and doorway vandal domes something like CNB VCB-24VF

WV-SC385 and 940nm IR?
tomcctv replied to LittleScoobyMaster's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
hi. you are just wasting money with illuminator for that camera. and you also need the external housing. (extra) 940 is only good if you spend the money but for a PTZ you need something like the Raymax or a repeater PT head to match your PTZ with a illuminator fitted. -
Does anyone know why this happens - Rainbow effect
tomcctv replied to groovyman's topic in Security Cameras
these cameras are the basics from CNB. board camera fitted to a dome .... $45. and you have no settings to help setup (fixed mona) you will not get much better using a fixed lens.
