    NV5000 and BSOD

    fan failure or not cooling your drives. how many drives in each and how many cameras ??
  2. wow its getting very technical. you could always remove the subatomic hadron particle let the water dissolve the neutron frame work and block it with a nuclear filter. but i have found it much easier if you just use a motion light with pir sensor. if its bright enough it will switch your ir off. remember you are talking about fog. i dont see the point in modifying a camera just to deal with a problem that only happends with fog

    viewing from every Tv in the house

    have you seen the price and shipping costs ??? get me 2.
  4. i dont think is domination be it dahua or any other company or if its about a dvr or a camera. yes you see alot of talk about dahua and also alot of talk on here about CNB. it just that the equipment works. no name brands dont last dont work and are given specs that people dont understand. and most of the time untrue. dahua have been in the industry a long time and make for other big brand names 75% of hikvision is dahua. there new range of cards are dahua. and its been like that for 10 years or more. other makes like avtech/CMN/ q-see / swann are all below what i would call a budget system most of which are rebranded TVT. (except) avtech. cameras. are the big problem. many times you see this stuff from ebay images from the cameras makes grass look dead and brown. blue cars look gray ..... there is no need to buy cameras that cant give true colours.
  5. hybrid systems still use them so will still be around for a long time

    DVR Mouse Operation thru IP KVM

    then its not a kvm you need. your dvr comes with remote viewer (via disk) you can use that.

    DVR Mouse Operation thru IP KVM

    listen its much easier to answer the questions. it gives people a fighting chance to help you. forget about your KVM for now. are you looking at controlling your mouse local (as in your home) or away from your home (over the internet)

    DVR Mouse Operation thru IP KVM

    what make is your dvr........ are you talking about using your mouse and monitor away from your dvr but at the same location. or are you looking to move the mouse over the internet at another location ???
  10. with that sort of profit can and will leed to problems. for you to make the kit for $400 it is going to be very basic low quality. your prifit can go quick. 1, your customer is not happy so returns. you then have a secondhand unit which costs you $400 you need good quality equipment. you dont want returns and you dont want equipment to fail befor the warranty is out. selling is hard a lot of money to buy in the first stock. unless you can buy from the likes of CNB direct where you get 5 years warrany (and you only need to pass 2 years of that to your customer) then it is going to be hard. your a Firefighter use your skills along side cctv i will pm you a idea (you could be selling by monday) see what you think.
  11. without seeing the layout. hard to say. but you always spend time planning your cable runs. does the house have a basement ??? cables down the outside need so sort of protection ..... we have used dummy drain pipes before now. but i would also look at using cat5 you will only need 1 for 4 cameras or 2 for 8 cameras and use 4 or 8 way baluns in the roof space.
  12. the Gadspot will not do what you need not at 60ft it has a 6 - 9mm lens the Gadspot spec reads >>>> • Capture images from vehicles traveling at speeds up to 30 mph (50 kph) 90% of cameras can capture images of a car at that speed ..... it says nothing about licence plates. New CNB XGB-20CS/XGB-21CS or the Qvis p400 or huviron p700 are camera that will have no problem.

    PIR sensors

    do you already have a dvr or are you looking for both ??? gjd sensors and also optex / redwall are reliable
  14. have a little play with this ...... if you get it working .......... another programe to look at is mrs browns boys http://pbman4u.hubpages.com/hub/BBC-iPlayer-USA
  15. that one is 30fps but as you said you cant afford it. . they are dahua dvr. like i said this is the 7fps unit. or you could ask Sean for his price of the 30fps unit

    Ground Looping/Interference?

    can you list your cameras and also power supply used and what amp. but you also have a problem with the cables ...... they are not coax so this will not help. if you dont want to change cables then i would cut off each BNC and attach a cctv balun

    Need CCTV for Small Hotel

    Any recommendations for the CNB dealer here in the USA? hi. unlike here in the uk we only have 1 or 2 US has lots. but buy from a good CNB distributor. i would drop soundy a pm he will know which are good.
  18. do you have magic eye with your sky remote control ???
  19. try ebay . listen ebay is your call you cant ask someone else to recommend crap you will not even listen about 30fps ....... you only need 15 max. we dont use 30 in the industry it justs wastes hard drive space

    RG59 or CAT5

    gigabit networks on cheap cat5 ...... you should be at least cat5e or cat6
  21. tomcctv

    RG59 or CAT5

    no its not all the same. are you talking £15 $26 for a 1000ft reel ???
  22. tomcctv

    RG59 or CAT5

    i would spend more on a roll of cat5 than £15 $26

    VCM-24VF. No manual. How to change settings?

    i would also send it back at least send the pictures as it is scratches and all. but if you are going to test it. go to menu toggle switch in head hold down for 5 seconds then move to factory reset. and test it in that setting.
