    DVR wont recognize hard drive

    did you buy the drive off ebay ??? more like its a bad CD. or that is the problem of the CD. it goes into your PC not the DVR.
  3. I saw that one in a thread today, it was actually the inspiration to start this thread Do you have personal experience with it? How is the low light focus? Do you have a video that you could upload? hi. yes we use CNB or qvis only for a PTZ. if something goes bad in two years you know your covered. i will get some clips for you (it will be weekend now) we have 6 up in the hills in bradford and they work well with little light. one PTZ not to look at is this type ...... a member of this forum has had 1 for a few weeks and it stopped its tilt. (he was told not to buy from a few members) if you look at the camera the arms that tilts are outside of the camera and the wet then frost got on and when he tried to tilt it smashed all internal plastic gears. and yes EBAY has a good returns policy NOT. ...... £300 x 3 is £100 a week wasted money.
  4. good warranty and pen drive updates the CNB is good http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1398

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE SOMEONE HELP

    Hi. your dvr is a avtech from 2007 so you will have some problems that you will need to fix first. we have 2 engineers is ashton (5 mile from you) but we do not do firmware updates on avtech DVRs. its 50/50 with them if it works or not. so we leave that to the customer to do. soundy is right router is best if viewing over internet is your target. your avtech has as default standard a IP address of 192.168.1.10 so you could try that first. just plug your dvr in the router and then your pc and enter the IP as http://192.168.1.10 and see if it connects. this is were you may need firmware if you are on vista .. what make router do you have and who is your ISP. (internet service)

    Outdoor CAT5 recommendations ?

    +1 cat5 has now got the same rules as a dvr DONT buy unbranded brown or white box with no maker on it. IT company was installing fire detection at a location we were at ... 2 days they spent looking for a problem on two beams even to the point they brought in the beam company. we have a machine called a cable grabber so we pluged there cable in and it said 29ft 3 inch pair blue (thats how far from machine to break) splice in 6 inches and it was done. cause. installers laid cable out along floor and to get it straight the guy whipped the cable to get it straight
  19. Hi. you have a dahua. it has a good compatable list on the unit but if your register is not there then you cant go direct rs or tcp. you will need a pos box before the dvr.

    ptz daisy chain

    qvis is direct data so there is no termination on dvr. daisey chain is a method used a long time ago and is not needed in the industry now not with data being over cat5. 1 cat5 will run 4 PTZ data if they are all in the same area and just with that 1 cable run its also called star. daisy chain ... if something happends at a camera pulled off wall or wire cut .... will also disable the other PTZs no data no control. also if you do star. you can use any PTZ camera you like you cant with daisy chain. you have to run video to each camera so its not a problem to run data as well
  21. you might just do your budget (trade) with some axis or vivotek. but then you have the cost of a PC. if you are looking to get better images than what you have now ..... you can still use a analog system. your samsung is very basic with poor cameras

    Ganz IP cams

    +1 use the detection software. list the ip of each camera then manual insert that into the utility. also on some gantz and i have seen it on others the subnet is 255.255.255.255 you will need to change it to 255.255.255.0
  23. Tom, didn't know if you knew about these guys http://www.domes.co.uk/en/item?c=2 for housings and poles for external PTZ's Hi. SDM thanks for the link. not contacted them i will do to see price. we have been using these for a few years. http://www.altron.co.uk/ornate_poles_view.html but we are starting to think about having are own made or import as products like this in the uk are getting expensive. a company in virginia can ship to here cheaper small family buisness .. which is another option
  24. nice and neat job John. like the idea of turning it into a mail box ......... make a good living selling your pole on ebay. we have a big job in a week or so in manchester 32 ptz cameras and a pole not far of yours is £700 is needed for each camera. ( how much to ship to UK)
