hi. its hard to say if it could be a H/drive fail with a avtech. other aspects of the avtech software can also give you the same result. a problem with avtech is its time reliant. i.e if you change the time on the dvr on some units it cant see old footage (this also does the same it cant give H/drive size) it might be worth you doing a full format on hard drive and see if it helps. if you are under warranty Dont open your unit or try a hard reset. this may give you warranty problems.

hi there is not much between ip and analog now. with a realistic budget. for a 4 way system i would look at hybrid. http://surveillance.aver.com/model/embedded-hybrid-DVR-EH1004H-4-Nano then you have the option of both analog and MP-IP. no licence costs to run ip. full monitoring from anything

hi. cat3 if it is this type. this type of cable is much thinner than cat5 and with 12v 4 amp over that distance amps may be a problem. you could use your coax for the power (bigger core) and just put a balun on 1 pair of your cat3 and another pair for your data.

hi. you are talking of two types of systems your AV guy is quoting analog and if you are using POE then you would be looking at IP system. but as far a cables i would run cat5 (which can be used for both types of systems) and while you are at this stage in your house building run cat5 everywhere (you will wish you had) not just for cctv but also home automation. (its the furure ) how many cameras are you looking at installing and what is your budget.

there is a good saying in buisness. (dont become a DONKY) money is not made by sales on things like this its the collection and storage were the money is made. and it sounds expensive (cost less than a employer to run) its a CIF solution at a high price. (10 years in the making) other companies have in just a few years have the same Analytics now and you dont have the alert costs everytime. avigilon has better Analytics even axis has something the same called tripwire. then you just need to stup an account at a monitoring station if you have a customer that needs full monitoring

hi. dont spend alot of money on cameras if you are going to use that q-see card. for that card look for cameras around the $40- $60. your only recording in low FPS at CIF (you cant make it better by buying 600tvl cameras) your just wasting money. http://www.apexcctv.com/c-49-infrared-security-cameras.aspx

Hi. yes we have setup these cameras for cheshire police in covert areas. with 940s (nothing over 25m) but good images. ill PM you a link to cam and illuminator.

£85 for a sharp chip. (not the best) avtech also sold via maplins at least they have the price right. but by far not the best you can get. look at dahua much better and has better remote software.

Hi. NO dont add any power .... (you have converted rs232 to USB ) max power 5v. have you assigned your converter to a com port (it should be listed in your device manager) to a port number. you then have to use that port in PTZ setup on your logic. rs485 will be TD (A) and TD(B) + being A

hi. same question was asked 4 years ago. viewtopic.php?t=17609 camera will have nothing to do with it. but you are on 800 software (which is cif)

hi what distence are you looking to cover

Hi. its a CIF card anyway. so not much you can do unless you change it. Fetaures : 4 Camera Security PCI Card. Compression : MPEG4. Display Resolution: 352 x 240 (NTSC). Screen Display: 1/4/7/10/13/16 multi-view or full screen. Network: Remote Monitoring and Recording with Search and Playback. Upgradeable - 4 cards in a PC for 16 cameras. Minimum PC capability: Pentium III 800 MHz or equivalent.

cameras are counterfit, , only 14 cameras were sent not 16. 2 cams not working Buyer: Member id 5staxxxxx ( Feedback Score Of 25) 16-Apr-12 22:15 16CH H.264 DVR Security CCTV System 1/3" Sony CCD In&Outdoor Cameras Any Combine (#280758898219) your ebay listing has only been on ebay for 2 months and already has 57 dont deal feed backs. Take a Read and if you want to send him another $1.600 then you need medical help. and i dont mean that to be nasty am helping you save what is close to your full budget and the guy is not in the usa like he says he is http://feedback.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=mydepots&iid=260832745656&de=off&items=25&which=negative&interval=365&_trkparms=negative_365 see even from one of your own ebay links you are going to loose your budget from the start. also with a ebay check you will see you are buying from china and not usa. the last link you posted is an old system (Dahua) and was only out for a short time. your budget is low for a 16 way with two POS inputs. but you dont need to install everything in 1 go if you are doing the install yourself. start with a good dvr good cables and 8 cameras and add as and when you can ...... just install cat5 runs on first install even to places you will be adding cameras later and you will soon have a good system.

i. you will need the client software to open view your files. you will also need to give a copy of your client to the police with your footage. download it direct to pc from this link if you dont have the cd that came with your unit. http://www.digimerge.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/DigiClient-v2.14.11-for-the-DHU500R-Series.zip

yes with 850s you will always see the red light. with 940s. it depends on the maker but you should not see any red glow at all.

hi. 940nm bosh will only go 20-25ft. (depending on hight) the 850nm will get the range you need ..... always half the range if using 940s Bosch EX26LED9W I.R. W/ 60 LEDS, 940 NM, WIDE BEAM 60O, 12/24 VRB, 0... The EX26LED Infrared Illuminator is a versatile short to midrange illuminator 5 m 16 ft) with 940 nm LEDs, at a 60° beam angle). It is encased in a weather-tight cast and extruded aluminum housing

hi. that will be an old avtech if it has no usb. your only options are use another vcr of buy 1 of these and plug it into a laptop or pc and connect the other end to your dvr monitor out. http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?Id=562

hi. give it a 500gb and it will last you a few weeks. also instead of recording some of the time. why not record all the time ???

a very low power unit is the aver nano. if you are looking at adding IP i dont know what your friends budget is but you can run mobotix on the aver. mobotix are by nature a low powered IP you can buy them as a full solar kit unit

sanyo used to sell them. you might still find someone who has stock left. Sanyo DSR-M810H240. sanyo/ everfocus/ pano all used to sell single channel ....... but like soundy says they found out it was just better to sell 4 ways and not use 3 channels. plus for some silly reason a single channel from both sanyo and everfocus were stupid money $900. in the uk PV-1000 is used by many people as a single channel dvr. link out for use of a bigger monitor

Hi. some of the speco models are good and samsung if you look for the ones with the winner5 chip. you will always get a better dome without IR and add extra external lighting. 1 you have missed off your list is the CNB. which are very good cameras for anyones budget.

good advice on camera make. also some very good advice on where to buy from. i know you have a problem buying outside of canada. >>> but is the link you posted to buy not in USA anyway ???.

hi. a plug will be the start of your problems. if you have gone with new honeywell (and i take it you have more than 1 with going daisy) you are best running the data away from your multiplexer and going with a programmable PTZ controller. if you are using old honeywell (vcl) then thats another problem with some needing a manchester box controller is the way to go then RS 485 and your done.

hi if you need notebook and iphone then dont go proline. they and not mac supported. i would stick to the links soundy has posted. full mac and iphone units with new apps comming out soon. another good way to see how good a dvr is on iphone is to look at the app store website and look at the download counts for the software. or see how good screen shots are. proline dont even bother with images on app store. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/proline-uk-electronics-ltd/id453435655?mt=8 dahua the DVRs that have been recommended. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/idmss/id438715770?mt=8
