can you take a picture of the dip switches on the PTZ head. sw2 No 6 also needs to be switched off

So enlighten us...what is your definition of "really nice IP megapixel cameras"? Enlighten us on a 4 way analog system worth $8 grand. which cameras did you use ???

can you list type of power supplies you are using volts and amps. also your amazon lead kit may not be up to the job of getting amps to your camera. there is only 2 ways to get good images from cable 1 is coax the other is cat5 with baluns.

just crap. thought we were talking about IR into a babies eye. another test you can do. is set a IR camera up switch off the lights and look into the ir. you may last 5 to 10 mins either way your eyes will hurt.

How do u compare ? plz explain just cost wise on 1mp its just not worth the extra costs.

no you never put ir in a babies room ...... camera and night light is best. or seperate camera and IR fitted at floor level ....... but never into a babies eyes.

hi. they are not files for a dahua. can you just do a little test. re-format your memory pen (if you have nothing on it you need) and then do a fresh burn off from your dvr .... also take footage from yesterday and not from when you have inserted pen drive. and see if you get a better result.

no problems with using analog but i would say you cant compare 1mp with some of the analogs out today. if going above 1.3mp then yes go IP but it all depends on the area you are covering and your budget . going analog with the new dual core dahua will give you just the same as a 1mp ip system.

have you used the lead kits that came with the system ???? also are you running the CNBs of the power supplies that came with the KIT.

give him a screwdriver and tell him to get on with it. lots of people come to the forum with the same idea. now if you look at the DVR spec it tells you max power output. 2 of the cameras you have listed are above that. so even at that point you cant add all 8 cameras (6 is max) its the same for extending the cables on these systems it does not work (the longer the cable the more power you need) now also for that DVR you can buy add on addaptors but they are $59 each. (how much is a 8 way dahua) a good way to look at that is...... when you go to a customer do the work at the end of the day you get paid. what you dont want is go to customer do work pop DVR and then YOU having to pay them for the damage. so look at amps of each camera look at total for DVR which is your first problem because the secondhand cameras you have listed as extra cameras takes you ove the total of DVR. and before you start anything get your customer to sign off who pays for damage

Hi. hey_moe. it looks like your only problem is focus. all 3 cameras look like they just need some tweeking

+1 the other problem is you are doing this for a customer. the samsung has camera power also built in if you make just 1 bad guess at the connection type you will pop there DVR. it is much easier to convert the samsung cameras to BNC than it is to add them to a RJ system.

hi ljarrald take no notice of rorys post he left about 10 of them earlier and they were removed. his keyboad must have had a stutter or something. but it had nothing to do with your thread

hi. you need to use your external ip. you will see it if you click here http://www.whatismyip.com/ most of the time you cant use your external while you are on that network ... only away from home

ljarrald. i had a PM the other day telling me you was just 14 years old ???? if that is true. you cant be licenced to install in schools. if you are not covered by any DPA certificate then just walk away. installing in a school has lots of laws that need to be worked too.

over priced no name. 90% of the site if you goole you will find 40-50% cheaper.

Hi ljarrald. i would buy new .... you can buy a dahua 4 way for not alot of money

hi. 8 way avtech .... its only a cif res DVR i think you are best spending your money on a D1 replacement

Hi. buildings of 460ft tall are easy to find on land registers and there is only 1 condo in your area that size ..... i wont list the name to cover you. but take a look at its own network structure. (its on google) i dont think you need to run to each floor (basement data control) just on each floor. what equipment are you looking at using ??? i see from your site you install avtech. but as far as saving money. you need to look at why you need 15 monitors. for a condo its best with something like a CMS to control your viewing (saves you sitting watching 100s of cameras on 15 monitors) but before anyone can help you need to list the equipment you are thinking of using (IP is the way to go)

NOPE. dont get mixed up with viewing and recording. ..... second line of the manual also tells you real time only in cif. so its 25fps each channel at cif or 7.5fps at D1 From there spec ---- Record Frame Rate (D1) 30FPS, (CIF) 30FPS which should say D1 30fps in total and cif 30fps each channel (total 120fps) if it was full D1 at 120fps why are they selling it as a realtime CIF Quality you can see and experience at an affordable price. This 4 channel DVR features real time CIF recording, or D1 recording at a lower frame rate,

if its a school then its council owned / if its public space (which a school is) all electrical work has to be done by a licenced company. (just power side) nothing wrong in having a company install a power point for you ... its just the the certification needs to be held by someone

i can count on 1 hand the number of cctv companies in the manchester area who are licenced to mount on power polls. so if i was you i would mount the PTZ camera on the building and do everything with existing power points. and that way you can also use the existing camera as a alarm point for te PTZ ... giving the ptz more options which is better than just a tour.

hi. you have just been down that path of a cheap DVR. pick a brand name with support (and dont use Ebay)

why would you want to run both ???
