using your POS system as CCTV is not a good idea. (you back office unit)

hi. any will do but it is never a good idea to double up it will give you problems

hi. the lights also flash when set at alarm mode. looking at your video. i would say that you have a problem with your VCR and not the DVR as it keeps flashing the colour bars (you would not get this from that DVR) i would remove your VCR and connect your DVR straight to your monitor

Hi 1 thing this forum is going to do for you is save you money. the system you have listed is junk NO POINT BUYING a system you cant use in a UK court. just take another look at the site you have listed and price everything .................. the cheap junk dvr is ONLY £79 for an 8 way the whole system is worth about £200 at most thats the second time you have posted that site in 3 months (there crap does not get better with age) and nothing will pass DPA regs if you are a store/shop. for a budget of £900 you can buy a aver system of a dahua system (systems that work)

Hi Sean we use usb to rs232 for POS and we found it is always best to use a software based rs232. this then allows you to open and keep a com port. which is ideal for adding POS or PTZ via usb. we have been using moxa if you can wait 5 to 6 days i will send you one free to try.

hi. on the 7000 card you are using pig tail leads. most of the time its not a problem but if all the BNCs are touching that can give you a problem. another is the pigtail its self you have 2 types the one with the yellow video out has to be in the top slot

hi. if this is the company (in chesterfield) then they are toys compaired to avigilon .... most is just avtech re-branded. no ip or hybrid. you cant compaire prices from them against pro stuff. you must have a budget. i see you have looked at geovision ....... now look at there price if you dont use geo ip cameras .... licence costs for 16 is £1100. with the aver yes that is right .... i would not use anything less than 1.3mp going for 1mp then you are best just using analog in them areas. to look after your cars 3 or 5 mp and around house 2 or 3 mp ... axis is a good camera.

hi you can use cat5 with any system. the reason why i say a hybrid were as a home does not need the full extent of mp ip. like you dont need to spend the extra to view a door way but your front and back yards will stand good 3mp cameras. but it all depends on your budget. a hybrid will allow you to use most IP with no licence costs upto a total of 45mp and standard cameras

Hi for avigilon uk you will need to start your budget at £8k for 16 cameras. avigilon is not over priced its that saying.... you get what you pay for not only in products but also support. but like i said hybrid is best suited to your needs. MP cameras and analog

Hi. you should be ok with cat5 from your dvr to tv then a balun at each end. but you will also need a RCA to BNC at your tv end.

Hi as well as portforwarding you then need to go to firewall settings and you will see all the ports you have created and a click button which you have to click to allow.

hi these are for internal use only and not rated for outdoor use. another problem would be the dome as they are for internal the dome is not UV rated so in time it will turn yellow. both of these CNB are vandal indoor only.

Hi. chesterfield. 16 mp cameras may be a bit much for home use. if you have the budget but you dont need to go to that extent. hybrid units are ideal for home protection having a mix of IP and analog. also with using MP ip you may not need as many cameras as you think. can you post a layout of the area you want to protect ?? this is known as smart record fps stays the same but quality changes (which saves HD space) but make shure it has a good pre and post.

this will be crap from china and may also be the wrong size. £50 ok its not trade price but if you look at it per meter 16p or 9 cents then it is a very good price if its 18swa. going from rg59 to cat5 saves money RG59 £25 for 100m cat5 £50 for 300m .... like for like in cat5 (100m) is only £16. no point in looking for cheaper cable

comnet in the uk stock them. so comnet US may also.

hi. RCA to BNC

how? convert analog signal to digital before it enters the coax and turn back after the coax. you can run two or more cameras plus power and data down 1 coax cable

hi jpmad4it it needs to be AV. but yes sorry you will need a converter. or if you have an old scart lead you can cut the yellow lead and just hold the outer stands to the outside of your BNC and hold the inner to the centre pin on your BNC just to see if you get a image on the AV on your tv

can you plug your camera direct into a AV on your TV ??

hi. well your best option is to put everything in the shed cameras and recorder ..... then you have no problem with signal. then from the recorder i would use a 1 channel amp and connect to your existing coax back to your TV. i would not spend anymore money on wireless equipment. i have sent you a link for a £29 cctv amp. you will need this as your little recorder will not send video from your shed to home via coax as the recorder has no booster.

hi. no just looked at manual ...... you must have bought 2 units to have 2 cameras ???? thats over $500. marked or not i would take them back as not suitable. there is no way of connecting the cameras other than wireless and to there system.

No offense, you are looking at a different site. I took it all the way to Paypal, did everything but pay. total $322, I can buy 1 unit. no offense taken. you are buying a dahua 16 dvr for the first time. me this year over 280 you cant buy a 16 with shipping and duty for $300 ........ but yes keep going with your paypal TILL is comes to full payment and bottom left you will see US$324.85~325.00 Min. Order: 1000 Pieces i did find a site at $430 with min of 20. anyway i am only trying to help you not waste money as a dahua 16 way dvr is not $300 not even from dahua (which should make YOUR alarm bells ring)

yes your right i have just done it. $322 shipped. THEN bottom RIGHT min order 50 units. IseeU2 the prices you are posting are too low. other things to look out for no contact details / gmail addresses and the hidden costs of shipping or the quantity you need to buy

hi just spotted a online site (think its the one you are looking at) postage is another $195 and HD are also extra. so real price for 16 way is $500 to $600

i would if you can return the swann system ..... 3hrs recording is pointless and going 32gb card and buying the swann you are in the range of a good wired budget two camera and dvr. and get approx 25-30 days. you can run two cameras down the one coax you already have in place (best having dvr in your home) for monitoring or networking
