call mark back and ask him to put someone else on who has been there longer. you dont need the monitor on or connected all the time. and yes you can control the dvr remote. via remote viewer or CM3000 or remote admin software. did you try the BB demo ?

15fps is all you need you cant see the differance 15 or 30. the mono. you have listed is not as good as you think it is. 30fps is ALL 4 so 7.5 fps is your max per camera Recording speed: 30fps @ 720x480, 60fps @ 720x240, 120fps @ 360x240 the little aver will do everything you need http://www.averusa.com/surveillance/products/hybrid-dvrs/eh1004h.asp software and demo for you to try. http://www.averdigi.com/Support/DownloadDetail.aspx?id=270

Hi. Syz. the problem with cctv kits is they are put together on a min budget to sell. so you get cheap cable and limited power supplies. as a kit they work. the problem is when you need to extend the cables this makes the cheap lead kits usless and also the power supply. your power supply may be 12v 300ma which will be ok for the kit but as soon as you extend a cable your 300ma needs to be 500ma and you are getting to the max limit for the cheap cable. quick solution pull cat5 to your cameras use baluns on 1 pair for video and the other 3 pair for power or the two cameras you need to extend you can have both cameras and power down the 1 cat5 with power.

jcanker. i knew you would take it the wrong way. and DID read your post. in your first post , it must have had plugs on to have warranty. multi meter would have solved the problem. thats my point. never use pre made cables. 1000s of non brand cameras. did you cut the cable before or after the OSD switch ??? (have you taken it out of the cable ??

so why did you chop the wire ??? thats the same with most. well the manager did have a turn-key system with modular plugs till you chopped the plugs off (nothing to do with the last installers) if the cameras dont have power protection then you may have fried them ..... and you cant return them time for you to hold your hands up and get a local cctv company in ............. sorry jcanker for sounding hard

protect101 the ebay listing is S/H junk its too old ..... no point in buying a good quality camera and recording in bad quality. with your budget the link to the avtech is your best option they are a good camera 1.3mp record to your pc. have alerts sent to your mobile audio or you can just get a dahua dvr with a good camera for £200 (brand new with hard drive)

junk. watch out for china crap. if you want a camera like that look at geovision anpr but alot more money. your problem is going to be the 100ft (30m) what will you be recording on ..... you also need a good FPS unit.

that just as long as Scorpion has been missing. scorpion you have been AWOL again

Hi protect101. your problem is just needing 1 camera. which leaves you with two options a network camera like the one in earlier post. http://avn80x.blogspot.com/ this will record to your pc and have mobile viewing you can buy from the bottom of the link (maplins) but you will need a outdoor housing. going analog get a little harder as you cant record direct to h/drive. so you need a single channel (usb recorder) which are not the best things. or for your budget you could install a light camera with SD card recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vg__ZGq2OJY&feature=related

hi. we need to know your firmware to send you the latest ip patch. which cameras are you thinking of using ?

hi. before you do any IP on your SA can you list the firmware you are on. (while system is runing press F1) and how old is your unit. the SA will run most ip cameras but just need to find out if you have the best firmware.

thats 200m power down cat 5. under powered cameras can give the same effect as electrical interferance. are you running 12 or 24v what amps and what camera are you using

the axis is in your budget. but seems alot of money just to watch indicators. so the little axis can earn its money while you dont need it watching indicators you can spin it around to do security work i.e watch doors or work area.

Eco9 for $100 that will be scrap value. if it has a CD on board then your unit is worth $500 if you have been using a DM then DONT go q-see or Gadspot your just going backwards. if you have the Eco9 with CD just do a service repair (send back to DM)

Hi mega. the EL has a max limit of 10mp in total so your 12mp is just making it work harder

hi. you should just use 1 pair for data i.e green to r+ and green white to r- (1 wire to each) but i dont think this is your problem. did you buy the camera from system q ??? or from somewere else. you have home sensors on the ptz and it looks like they are not working may be faulty or need resetting

1 pair or 2 ??? also disconnect everything and see if it does its setup and then stops. with just being powered. you may have moved a sensor

hi. can you list your ptz to look at the spec ??? also when you wired your camera did you use a single pair of cat5 for your data or did you use a pair for R+ R- (many people do this and it can give problems) can you give power used and distance your PTZ is from your dvr. also are you using onboard controls or a desktop controller.

which is what the CNB is it has a box camera and 27x lens (you can buy without the housing if you dont need it) what is your budget ??

well yes you can ...... but i dought if you would be using 16mp on a hybrid anyway ...... you would be looking at the likes of avigilon and there software.

recording (analog) compression S/W MJPEG/MPEG4/H.264 resolution NTSC: 352 x 240 (CIF), 720 x 240 (Half-D1), 720 x 480 (D1) PAL: 352 x 288 (CIF), 640 x 480 (VGA), 720 x 288 (Half-D1), 720 x 576 (D1) frame rate (NTSC/PAL) CIF: 480/400fps Half-D1: 240/200fps D1: 160/128fps recording (IP) resolution each individual channel can support a maximum of 5 megapixels MPEG4/H.264/MJPEG; resolution of up to 42 megapixels total for all IP camera channels a good hybrid takes its settings from the camera res and fps hikvision (dahua) are using decoders in the dvr (thats why you can only add 4 ip)

what about the DS-9008 specs claim it cam do 8 BNC and 4 2MP cams. is there something you would recommend over HIK thanks Video Compression: H.264 Analog Video Input: 8-ch, BNC(1.0Vp-p, 75Ω), PAL/NTSC adaptive IP Video Input: 8-ch 4CIF/4-ch 720P Real Time, or 4-ch UXGA not Real Time limited. should be determind via camera not dvr

two types of firmware. AF or CF Serial Number of dvr

view 4 DVRs and control on 1 screen ???

sounds like network fail. you should have no problem with local. how far is your dvr from the network (lenth of patch lead)
