based on fact and to save people money and problem. to new members of the forum. these are direct from q-see (not me) and i will leave the complaints that costco have listed in the passed 3 month. Step 10) Some of our DVRs do not support Internet Explorer 9, This DVR cannot be seen on Internet Explorer 9 . You will need to downgrade to Internet Explorer 8. The DVR software is not compatible with Internet Explorer 9. shockwave199 both direct from q-see website. SO PLEASE DONT SAY these are MY opinions. you have a PC based system and NOT a TVT. we have seen more TVT/q-see/lorex systems over many years (we are 30 years old this november) you are right q-see has no problem with other rebranded units they sell but you have a windows system (nothing to do with TVT) so you dont know or see the problems from the standalone. windows based or PC are always better and are easy to place add on a standalone is not. its reliant on updates via new software or firmware. and if not available then things like ie9 problems can not be fixed. there is a very good reason for that. 1 its a waste of money and time. this is what the forum is for buying once saves money. it is a massive problem if the dvr is not supported. you can have the best network. pc. router if its not supported its not going to work. like i said TVT has big returns. so has costco (which are under q-see name) not there problem but TVTs as there supplier. q-see now have a new website and i do have a problem with some of there new sales pitches . Q-see brings the $12,000 DVR that the casinos use to catch card cheats down to the price a homeowner can afford. I recommend any home first install (well you just have too)

hi. you will have to list the model avtech you have. if you know the password .... then why not just change everything local ..... also i see you have a Mac. is this the unit you are trying to view it from ???
-
that update is from last year. it has nothing to do with a router is looking at dvr data with IE9. it is not supported. yes you can use ie8 but in a few months most will be on ie9 so then you have NO remote connection there is a reason for a $300 discount
-
i. made BY TVT. something with a $300 discount has a problem. yes it will be fine connected to a monitor but if you want remote viewing then your not going to get it from that model and there is no firmware update
-
hi you only need 1 and you can connect as many PTZs as you like. when you loaded your dvr software it will have also put a few drivers into your device management list. we dont use anything other than moxa (which is 1 in your list) i would not like to guess on 1 for you. but if you contact myplace46 to see which mod he used would be better than getting one that does not work.
-
Hi FarmerCharlie. i would say if you can pay a little more for your converter. the reason being not all have auto setup (cant be seen via device management) without a driver. the aver will also take USB to RS485 for control you also only need 1 for as many PTZs as you want.

Swann vs. Lorex vs. Q-See vs. Night Owl vs. ?
tomcctv replied to veryken9's topic in Digital Video Recorders
TVT brought out a new range last year only to find you cant connect using ie9 and problems with ie8 there was a sorry letter on TVT site. -
Swann vs. Lorex vs. Q-See vs. Night Owl vs. ?
tomcctv replied to veryken9's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Swann vs. Lorex vs. Q-See vs. Night Owl vs are all TVT brand and at the moment as Q-see have just found out have a big problem with networking (there rturns have gone up 43%) and they have removed alot from there website. qvis. have been around for a long time we have delt with them over 10 years. they do use dahua and rebrand them and they also make cameras in there own factory and also have there own DVR and NVR. dahua is not new to the DVR market ..... i think this is why people call them budget as they dont know dahua company history. 90% of hikvision DVRs and cards are infact dahua and been used by hikvision for over10 years. i do think the name budget is the wrong word to use for dahua (good price yes) May is going to be a good month for full brand new range from qvis DVRs hybrids and some good cameras from both qvis and dahua. -
Brickcom WOB-130Np Review
tomcctv replied to buellwinkle's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
for the 1mp yes it is. yes you could but then yet another cost the data cable is too short so you have to buy the extention as the rj is no longer waterproof plus cable is no longer protected. and like any other warranty ..... not covered if not mounted with there bracket or fixing kit. over a $1000 is getting close to a avigilon 3mp with there software. you are right images and software is good. my problem is $1000 i want cable management and i also want it to be IP67 which it is not. the vent holes bothered me to the point it went back into the box. take a look at yours. would you use it were it can get wet ...... the sunsheld does not even protect the vents from rain No cable managment cable management -
Brickcom WOB-130Np Review
tomcctv replied to buellwinkle's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. the Brickcom WOB-130Np has been sold in the uk for a while. for what you would think is a good price. mmmmmmmmm until you order one .... they dont tell you IT DOES NOT come with the bracket. which you have to buy and you even need the fixing kit to fix to the bracket now it is not a good price at all why split up the costs = paying alot for a 1.3mp over $1000 and then $170 for the bracket and ip67 rated ......... with vent holes ???? -
i see what your idea is now. that site will charge you and you will still have connection problems getting your dvr onto there server. i dont know how much or the make of your DVR but IE9 connection problems and no firmware means its comming to the end of its remote viewing life. looking for a hosting service is going to cost. were you can just change your dvr and have remote viewing on anything IE9 / mac / ipad-iphone / android / windows mobile. and there is also a brand new range of apps comming in may for these DVRs http://www.dahuasecurity.com/English/product.aspx?type=61&&css=1

Can't get DVR on my network for long...
tomcctv replied to bertbig's topic in Digital Video Recorders
hi if your dvr is for home use then you dont need to change anything. its only neded if say you own a gas station and you dont want staff to be able to play with it. same with the network password ..... no need to change (people have to know your ip) to get in. -
Can't get DVR on my network for long...
tomcctv replied to bertbig's topic in Digital Video Recorders
hi. your dvr like many others can be locked via password this stops people from changing all your settings. yours is admin 111111. this password has nothing to do with remote viewing. then you have network passwords which you need to remote view. from new your log on (over network) is admin for user name and admin for password -
Hi millie. viewing your system from home (local network) you do not need to use your noip account. you only need your local ip address of your dvr. it would be something like 192.168.1.xx. all you need to do is give the people involved your NOip address and they just need to download the activex they will see on there first time connection ... and most dvrs will load a icon on there desktop. you might want to setup some user accounts first (from your dvr) to limit them to what settings they can control.

tomcctv replied to bertbig's topic in Digital Video Recorders
yes 111111 is DVR password not remote viewing log in. yes you can change 111111 to anything you like (6 digits) it only stops people from changing settings on your dvr. for network settings your dvr (from factory) is admin and admin and if you look at page 10 it does tell you. you will not see any other options until you either change or add a new network password. you will have the same problem when you get it back. you only had to test it first -

CNM Secure H.264 Problem Video Playback Green / Black Lines
tomcctv replied to georges999's topic in Digital Video Recorders
hi it depends on how old your CNM is some old ones will not allow you to use ie9. some will not. and the other problem you are going to have is you will have to do the same on any remote pc you use with IE9 but with your external ip. Go to the tools menu in Internet Explorer 9 and click on the Compatibility View Settings option. Add the IP Address for your DVR into the Add this website text box and click Add. Click Close Go to the tools menu again and click on the Internet Options option. Click the Security tab. Click on the Trusted Sites icon. Click the Sites button. Untick the Require server verification (https: ) for all sites in this zone box (if it is ticked). Add the IP Address for your DVR into the Add this website to the zone: text box and click Add. Click Close then Click OK and then Restart your browser. -
hi if you are seeing this on a avtech ........ then 9 out of 10 its the internal battery

tomcctv replied to Installer024's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
am confused now. your first post .... is you ordered wall mount and you got flat mount by mistake. you would still of needed a lift to lossen the pelco wall mount. but since you now have the flat mount. why not just fix to roof with good silicon under bracket and get a local roof contractor in to Tar over your fitting if your not happy doing it -
yes but they dont work from ebay and over priced for what they are from ebay china sellers. or do a price build IP external with a flip.

Newbie question regarding prices and new system. Thanks!
tomcctv replied to paupar's topic in General Digital Discussion
hi. if you can send your samsung back all the better. i dont knowwhy samsung keep making systems with stupic camera connections. i thought there rj plug was bad but yours is even worse on that system. .... it does not allow you to swap and change cameras .... you are stuck with the over priced samsung going ip or hybrid is 100% a better system than samsung. which is this hybrid. http://uk.surveillance.aver.com/product/embedded-hybrid-DVR-EH1004H-4-Nano -
as Flip found out it could not be done. loaded with problems / made cheap and it failed when needed. why put that into a IP camera........ lucky they did not.

Can't get DVR on my network for long...
tomcctv replied to bertbig's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi. you could have a few problems. is this unit bought brand new ???? (made 2008) password for remote view is admin and admin. if its not then it may have a time limit (setup via network password settings) also the other problem is a 2008 dvr may not be compatable with your operating system. you will need a firmware update -
Hi Sergio. i see you have posted this a few times. .... we need some more info first. do you have your camera connected to your dvr and do you see the images ???? you need to get this all setup first. as far as your 3g. is it the vodafone unit you have ???. it is going to be better if you do away with your ZTE MF10 wi-fi and use a netgear 4/4g router with your ZTE K3765-Z this will then allw you to do port forwarding. also 1 warning using vodafone without a security package is going to cost you alot of money to run
