hi. do you record to all drives or just 1 .... yes the right mouse click does alot of things not in the manual. net time you go into system click alarms then click add alarm then on the options on the left click your right button you will see a lot of options in 1 window it will ask you to pick a camera then it will ask you to click snap shot. it then stores that image and say if its your garden it will show you footage of anything that has been moved or added by the system matching your snap shot to what has changed ..... also face finder ...... take images of everyone who comes to your property.

hi. at least you know your way around your system ...... not many know about the right click to fix Error. what you have is a bad sector as it writes.... if it happends again just do a format and you should be ok.

Hi. another problem is how old is the DVR. not all swanns show blocks of 4 its only on the newer models. old swann units only put out a java stream so this will only give you 1 screen shot at a time. regardless of what app you use. (its the dvr not app) is yours in the list. DVR4-1200 (Models with VGA port only) DVR4-1300 (Models with VGA port only) DVR4-2550 DVR4-2600 DVR4-5100 DVR4-5700 DVR8-2550 DVR8-2600 DVR8-5700 DVR16-2550 DVR16-2600

it will work on both. but dont buy a Pot set buy a digital set they are about £29 much better to setup.

yes thats right. all this needs to be set on the app before you can connect. port 80 or 81 is no good for iphone. 18004. ill find a old spec for you

i take it you missed my first post. i phone you have to use port 18004. and the manual also tells you. so my first post you need port 18004 did it work ???

exactly, which is why i made this thread. ok so did it fix it ??

ports wrong

Hi. the port number is 18004. and you also need to add a user name and password to this page.

Fiona. dont be so stupid............... see you have turned was was a joke now into sexual harassment. show me were YOU have had any sexual harassment on this forum and please look up sexual harassment and study it before you start anything. yes we do...... but you never looked out of your window you used zoom to spy. does not matter if he was in his car or you zoomed into his house window regardless of what he was doing its not on your property so it is classed as spying. see again what has the UK got to do with anything ............ you find a problem and make it 1000 times worse. Paranoia [ˌpar.rəˈnoɪ.ə] (adjective: paranoid [ˈpar.rə.noɪd]) is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself. Making false accusations and the general distrust of others also frequently accompany paranoia. For example, an incident most people would view as an accident, a paranoid person might make an accusation that it was intentional. so fiona. just so as every other reader of this post understands I DID NOT MAKE ANY SEXUAL HARRASMENT COMMENTS TO YOU IN THIS THREAD OR ANY OTHER THREAD. so dont start that crap.

it was posted as a joke........ but lets see what you turned it into ......... something to complain about but then you have to break it down to something that you can complain about. why cant it be demeaning to the guy ???...... see you look for problems that suit you. so. what has that got to do with protecting YOUR property. if you never had a PTZ you would not have seen what was going on. what did your local police say when you sent it them ??? with regards to posting images on posts ...... how do you get away with doing that ??? is there no laws

2.1gb ??? sounds like your dvr has lost or someone has altered the path. go into setting then click system then top left you will see a list of hard drives to be used by your dvr. can you list what you have there ???

no man i dont think so because its not that cheap and all other channels are working fine.. Thanks for reply when you need info on a dvr problem you have to give as much info as possable. your last post does not help at all. it is clear from your pictures that cam 4 and 11 have a problem. so nto fix you need to give alot more info. is it a dvr or card. (pc based) is it new . did you build it. and what make is it.

no that will only allow you to view on that 1 tv. if you want DVR on all tvs then you would have to do it before your distribution box (amplifier) arial -- modulator -- distribution box----- out to all TVs ..... but this will only work on TVs that can switch to VHF

Hi. no that modulator will not work for you (not from sky) 1 is digital the other is analog. ........... this is why you are seeing cheap modulators in the uk. we have gone total digital. you can still use the one listed but only via arial .... but not all new TV will see the signal. your tv has to have the old VHF band

Good thread to start Matt. ill dig a few systems out over weekend and post some shots.

hi. it was FTP not http. and it was taken down last year. you now have to request a login from them direct.

it never used to be a problem untill a few years ago till the likes of BMW/lexus/audi. started to use a new type of screen. 'Heat Reflective' and here in the uk its been a problem to see faces on these cars. you can see this sometimes when your driving. the car in the oposite direction the screen looks blue but as the car get closer it then allows you to see through it. to get past it. (as you see if you use toll roads) the cameras are low inline with the screen. you might have to move your camera closer and lower to get every face

lots of people are buying that stuf off ebay from china ......... people dont understand thay buying cheap from china also gives a problem most of the time that its not licenced to be used on your country telecom network. you may get sns from it but no video. how long is your drive and do you have power at far end or anything cat5 or coax ???

CNB do very good PTZ cameras. with a long list to pick from. the idea is not to get caught into the auto track PTZs you only see this on cheap cameras. and its not a true auto track.

hi. can your software find the cameras if you plug 1 at a time direct into PC. and not router ??

if the camera is looking at the door from outside. then you will not need a heated camera

some can yes. presets are at head end.

only if you dont understand what he is talking about. its a old video but the problem is still there......... laymans terms. BB phones are used by people for business because it has its own secure data. a legal battle has been going on for years with BB. al qaeda use BB just for that reason (there data is secure) any other network can be traced or will be traced by what is called word association and this also applies to emails sent. there are some words that if you put into text or email will be logged via most country security departments
