its not been created yet. its only a week or so old. you may also have legal problems with changing you old company name to V-tech (which is a registered trade mark)

Hi. just a few things for you to look at. are you looking at replacing all cameras as well ..... as you will need to if you spend $16k on a NVR. Adventura. very good systems but again high costs but this is down to the analytics package. if you are keeping existing cameras then you are best going hybrid. you can upgrade to ip at a later date or if you buy a 32 way you can expand your 28 cameras just by adding ip to your network. we install this in all hiltons under our service contracts http://uk.surveillance.aver.com/product/hybrid-DVR-SA6832E-RACK

yes that says alot.

hi. before you change monitors not only camera res but you also need a good resolution from your DVR. how are you putting the video feed to your monitor. ??? also which dvr do you have. is it D1 or cif.

PTZ. are a big expence most of the time its the most expensive camera on your system. and this has to be taken into account when buying one. ok we have lots of members buying standard cameras from the likes of ebay $10-$40 ok not a big loss when it fails. but now lots of people are looking at PTZ cameras and from chine or ebay paying $650 - $750 remember Ebay is a Auction site. sellers can and will offer 1 year warranty but in reality once you have paid and left your feed back that is the end of your auction product. for such an expense why not buy from your own country you can find for around the say price and have the warranty and you also have the legal side to get your money back at anytime with the warranty. i think Sean may have had his PTZ details of a new one out soon EFFIO-S 700tvl 3.9-89.7mm lens 24v ip66 60m IR Day/night (ICR) DNR (2D&3D) IR corrective lens Auto iris. auto focus.AWB / AGC/BLC 7 alarm inputs 2 alarm outputs

hi is this your camera ??? spec is 4 amp in total so yes running it at a short distance sould be fine. i would do just as soundy says ... chop plug off power supply and attach it to the camera end over cat5 so you get video power data and alarm.

hi. on cam 1 if you right click you should get audio options.

Matt is right it is a common way of getting power to cameras. i would not spend money on buying cable from china. can you list what it says on your camera power supply that came with camera. with it having a specific power plug. it is a protection as what volts and amps the camera can take. do you have a link to your ptz.

hi shock. we had this problem last year with a guy who bought his own PTZ. he also cut power cable and added stander ends and it would not work. what we found was the camera is very low powered both in volts and amps and will only run on local power. i think if you look at your camera spec it will be 12v 350ma ..... this is too small to use extended cables over a distance.

hi. yes 12v or 24v 1in2 out from genie or qvis. Coaxial Video Distributor For connection to video cameras, multiplexers, DVRs etc. Single video input to 2 video output distributor Red LED - power on/power off Made from black ABS PSU and fixings included Bandwidth, lower frequency - 10Hz Bandwidth, upper frequency - 10MHz Depth, external - 72mm Input, video - 0.8 - 1.2V p-p Length / Height, external - 32mm Output, video - 1V p-p Range - 300m Voltage, supply AC - 24V ac Voltage, supply DC - 12V dc Weight - 90g Width, external - 50mm

Q-see removed about 6 models from there range in december they will not work on windows 7 they also dont support them. you may find a firmware fron TVT electronics (the maker)

hi. hit new tread tab and start a thread. best off giving your location first ............ and then let people contact you.

i would not ship anything just yet. just follow the steps on getting your money back. did it come from your country or china ???

1 feed in with two outputs. booster. if your dvr is a distance away.

hi. you will need to drop your FPS down to 3.5fps to get higher resolution settings to change. you should just be having this problem when viewing recorded footage ??? live viewing is set at 704x480. if you mean remote via mobile then your unit will only do cif.

sorry no not CNB. lots of cameras comming out of china (ebay is full of them) starting from $20. they say effio but there not. its safer to go with a brand name if you look for cameras with effio chips. the CNB in the link is a tride and tested camera by many installers

+1 you cant go wrong with CNB Effio cameras are a mind field and some of the cheaper ones have a good fail rate what spec is your DVR is it D1 or cif not shure if Sean has had the new camera spec yet. but there are some good new cameras comming out

sorry yes i was looking at your first post for a gv600b which is not the same as the old gv600. but even with the gv600 make sure it is the gv600-8 and not the dv600 + expansion card. and your other link is for a avtech DVR you will get more for your money if you go dahua DVR

hi. it does not support upto 16 cameras you have to buy gv600b in 4 -8 or 16 channel and its only the 4 way gv600b that is around £150. and for that money i would go hybrid like the aver NV5000t. also you have no extra costs like ip or pos licence

Hi. i would forget about using a service like ddns or no-ip till everything is working. its much easier to see problems. ports you need to open if 80 is blocked use 8080 and for your dvr you also need to open 6001 6002 6003. you also need to test your external ip away from the network and you would test like this http://yourexternal ip:8080 also you need to enable network in your dvr network settings. once its all working then add your external to a service like ddns or no ip

hi all analog cameras put a voltage back to dvr via coax (only small amount) but if something happends to the electronics of the camera and puts out a larger amount then DVRs will start to play up. i.e reboot/ shut down and as all cameras have the same ground it can also effect other cameras

it will work fine as it is ....... bad images bad controls and bad burn off you can buy them now for $2 if you buy 10 at a time. sorry but to run 1 camera never mind 4 you need to spend money. if $68 for a hybrid 4 way card is too much then your stuck with what you have.

hi. i would not bother with asking the company to send parts i would get your money back. (another will only fail within a year) if your PTZ is only 12v then a power supply of 15v is not going to help. do you know the amp used by the camera ?? also over power can damage the power ribbon from board to camera. take a look for a burnt out wire on each end of the ribbon.
