hi. if you have done the wrong firmware update then your system still may not work. your dvr will need new software if that is your problem. doing a hard reset on the 677 is a little bit of a fiddle. you need to find the R155 link. pm sent on how.

hi your best option is a kvm. (4way or more) attached to dvr vga out to your dedicated cctv monitors with mouse control. dahua network controller is the best part of $300 each.

foscam have a problems with copies to the point if you buy from ebay amazon or the likes they give no support. Loftek. is the same camera. dont be fooled into there USA website. it is registered in china shenzhen city. also just try to contact them ...... no email no phone number or address on there website at all. so thats your backup and warrenty gone from the day you buy. if you want to build a home system out of cameras like that then just run to your local stapples and buy some webcams and use a webcam viewer software it the same thing. BUT WEBCAMS dont even come close to a good CCTV system

hi. looking at your install spec you are not getting full advantage of your system. you also have a PTZ in that area. what you can also do is set some alarms in your driveway camera and this will then allow you to have footage from driveway cam and also the alarm will bring your ptz into play .... it spins around on alarm and zooms in and even a little tour of that area

hi. you may see a little jump like yours sometimes as the dvr is making the next footage file. your footage has just come to the end of a hour

hi if you are looking for a home cctv system then look at a analog system rarther than the foscam (it will be alot cheaper and much better) foscams are just webcams you will get better images from standard cameras. and you will not have all the extra costs of a switch and then a pc on 24/7 to do the recording extra storage for footage. standalone - cameras = done much cheaper

can you give some more info on the reinstall. did the coax become shorter in lenth or was it added to. also what size power supply and the total distance of the camera both before it was moved and after. how was the illuminator powered ??? but for first test i would replace both BNCs at each end. i would also use your test monitor at camera end for testing (not dvr end) and power your dome down and watch if it goes into setup on power up via your test monitor.

i think more tests would be better than the cost of a replacement.

test cable with a terminator. and multimeter. if you get a bad or no reading then pull new cable. with everything CCTV the less joints and connections the better. was the old camera working before you changed it ???

seems like a high price for effio cameras. but 1 thing you need to look at is........ remember you need to buy a system for your region ...... you are PAL. NTSC is a USA region. what part of Australia are you in ?

which cable have you used. and size of power cable.

they are not used (only with the CMS software is when they are used most) they are not cheap i know Sean would be able to get you one or we can send one to sean, part number is QVIS (DVR-APO-ASS-001) but there is an easier way of setting up what you need. how far is your dvr from monitor ???

hi. dont get wireless mixed up with IP. then these will not be wireless can you not get cable to the locations at all ???

hi it depends on how old your camera is old DFLs are only 520tvl none monalisa.

hi saved to local HDD or hybrid or NVR. you can run IP without internet.

hi. it will not effect your internet. there just on your local network.

Hi. there are a few makes CNM Q-see TVT that are not compatible with IE 9 with there older units

factory rest. you still need to set PAL or NTSC.

this will have nothing to do with your ISP. what make dvr do you have and what ports are you using ?

sounds like for some reason your DVR has gone from ntsc to pal (or pal to ntsc) you should see some settings in your DVR menu to put it right. what make is your dvr and were are you located

Hi with that res i would just use some CNB VBM 24VF. for 640 x 480 and the switch and power for a IP so low in res analog will be cheaper for you.

if you buy the update via dongle then you can ... but if you have a counterfiet then you have no chance.

please dont buy from ebay. if you have that sort of money to spend you want at least a warranty and support. the units you have listed, samsung ....... its out of your region you need to be PAL and not NTSC avtech (swann) is very low budget ...... type avtech into search above and i think you will change your mind. the other listed are no name units. and over priced. look at dahua .... and you will be ok.

Hi. the problem with some of these convertors is some need drivers. and some come with auto detect. we only use moxa never had a problem with them in the 5 years we have been using them. also each moxa also has a detection light built in (tells you about the data) good for setting up. half the price of the links. Moxa Uport 1130 USB-RS485/RS422 Moxa Uport 1130 USB-RS485/RS422 Converter - compatible with USB 2.0, software selectable RS-422, thomann 4-wire RS-485 and 2-wire RS-485, male DB9 and terminal block for easy wiring, up to 921.6kbps serial transmission, active (USB), TxD/RxD LEDs, built-in 15KV ESD protection.
