where are you located???

yes a good cable. these cheap cable kits are usless in both getting power to camera and a clean signal. cat5 with baluns or coax with power will give better images.

hi. if you have yried power supplies and cables then it looks like a duff camera. just as another test plug the camera direct to a TV and see if you get the same result.

sorry i missed out page 1. yes if he goes for the gold into a dedicated server. but reading page 1 of posts. there is an easy way. with avers if he buys a unit say 16 way then that will do just the same. as all avers can take a number of cameras from any dvr over the internet and combine with any aver dvr. so if he has 4 cameras at 1 location he can pick others from any other location to fill the 16 screens

can you take a picture of your dvr and if possable a picture of the dvr screen. OSD

hi. do you have the adroid app recommended by DVR maker ?

not with a iphone in the uk he can use both (wifi as in hotspot) outside his own network. but what you do have to do is set 2 IP addresses up on the idmms his local ip for at home and his external ip for away from his network.

aver will do what you need. CMS will look after 1000 cameras if you need more the cms pro. the good thing is it gives you multi screens emap. alarm record (3fps) ptz control (external dvr setup) and free ddns service. but only works with aver .... both analog and IP .(most IP if ran via a aver) http://uk.surveillance.aver.com/product/CM3000

read first post. question 2 its still NO fiona can i ask when was the last time YOU fitted a PTZ with mixed protocols ?????? must have been just in the past week or so. because it was only last month you was asking how a protocol works. the siemans is an old system there controller is limited to protocol commands but there cameras have most of the standard protocols loaded. however the siemans PTZs are old and need to be terminated but another problem is the domes dont have a termination switch so either the siemans termination box needs to be fitted to each dome or a resistor needs to be put in place. but there are other ways around that but we need to know how the data cables have been run

if you are now saying you have a mix of PTZs along with your siemens then you are going to have to list how you have wired them daisy or star. and you are going to have to say IF you only need to control all from the DVR or you need to run both controller and DVR.

love the way you ADD none existing things to posts. first post...... and the answer is still no. what we do need to find out is .... is the op removing the controller from the data cable when he changes DVR and PTZ to pelco. if the controller is still in line this will also stop any command.

Fiona. read the posts then you might understand. and also look at the ops picture of PTZ settings (pelco_p) if the op uses the dome and the controller then yes they work together (BUT NOT ON PELCO PROTOCOL) the PTZ has most protocols in its menu including pelco-p pelco-d linil ....... the DVR also has PELCO. so DVR and PTZ are a match DVR ---- Siemens controller (no pelco) ------ PTZ = no data control unless a converter is added but its cheaper to change the controller DVR------pelco controller ------ PTZ = will work no problem.

the DVR is fine .... it does pelco as does the dome ....... but the controller will not do pelco without add to it.

the problem is your CKA4820 DOES not do pelco. you either use a manchester box or converter box both of which cost more than a little Pelco controller

hi take a look at the guys feed back...... plus you will see he has not yet sold any DVRs. and there is a hard drive to also pay for. and the scam from ebay is if you fit it then you have no warranty. by local if you can. and stick to a name brand.

using RF you have to check that the channel you pick is clear .... un-plug your modulator then go to each TV and see if that channel is clear.... nothing at all on that channel have you also used a booster.

hi. the cheapest way is to replace your CKA4820 controller.

it just depends on how its installed and the quality of the equipment used. you can get DVRs/NVRs that will do just the same and on a farm you will get some bad alarms. if you are looking at IP then no need for a DVR but you are looking at some good money to build a good wireless network . how many cameras are you looking at what is the size of your area to cover and the big one. what is your budget.

I dont see anything on Tamron's site except lenses? is this something new? yes there new ...... there a bit late in joining the camera game but what they have makes up for it.

hi. you cant from the forum ...... but if you owned a website and looked at traffic then you search on there ip. ill pm you a simple one. but you will have to find an ip or use your own to see how it works

Tamron Cameras? yes there little domes only 540 tvl but beats anything on the market in analog..... but comes at a price. auto focus 3.8 to 45mm lens (which you dont find on anyother dome) i sent details to Sean last week

know that is the King of analog cameras Not sure if I would use them again. They were okay, but I may go Computar instead. Used both and fujinon over the years though. have you tried there cameras ..... beats computar

hi. crow on 24 it can be either way

know that is the King of analog cameras

are you on something ????? you spit your dummy out over the size of your clips ... you was given a good reason why...... if you have all that info.... mmmmmm he has your ip address i think its a good idea to make it vanish from the forum i hope he does.
