    SWANN 8900 DVR Unit - CMS Confusion

    hi CMS is used if you have more than 1 dvr i.e 1 at home 1 at work cms lets you view both together on 1 screen

    Static IP for the outside world?

    hi jokerone. a static is for your external ip. so no need to do anything else with your dvr if you can connect via your LAN. you may need to do some portforwarding. but to see your system away from your home you need your external IP click here from the same network your dvr is on and you will see your external ip. http://www.whatismyip.com/ then ask a friend to try and log on (in most cases you cant log onto your own WAN) so your external ip would look like http:// your external from link : port once you have got it up and running you might need to use a ddns service if your ip keep changing.
  3. Hi. take a close look at hik specs. they are not true hybrids. if you are thinking of using 1mp then your fine. thinking of using above 1mp you are just wasting your money.

    Is it legal?

    thats a big problem how would the police know 13 were legit ???? dont think a judge will pass a warrant. this is 20 years old ..... even all the stuff about uk is 30 years old. lots have changed since then

    is this possible guys?

    protect101. £65 for a 4 way dvr from hongkong to the uk P&P free is a waste of £65. no support nothing. and the cameras you have listed cheaper if you buy local and not off ebay. what is your budget ??

    31 Days

    Thanks for the speedy reply Chris. Anyone know what the rules are in the UK? hi steveo. it depends on what part of the country you are in. and were you are going to install. i.e pub/bar shop / petrol station. there is no limit to home use. but were they say 31 days ..... this was changed its now 21 to 31 days also in some installs like a pub/bar you need D1 and you must be able to control FPS on each channel.
  7. Hi. for that many stores i would go with a full managment system. one 8 way hybrid system at each store with each store doing its own onsite recordings and also at head office. look for systems that also give POS as standard (record all cash at register) aver nano EH1008H-4 Nano 8 way hybrid with POS http://uk.surveillance.aver.com/product/embedded-hybrid-DVR-EH1008H-4-Nano CMS3000 installed on PC at head office (free upto 16 dvrs) http://uk.surveillance.aver.com/product/CM3000 view and record from dedicated app on ipad or iphone or BB and android

    Looking for a good box camera and lens combo

    hi the CNB is separate IR. you can mount the IR were ever you want. but for 250m you will need IR behind the camera and ir at your target end

    Hi. protect. just to give you an idea LEGO cameras are £99 for kids. dont expect to much. but take a look at the avtech ip camera it will do everything you need for a little more money http://avn80x.blogspot.com/

    yes take a look at the dahua hybrid oooops its not. the aver is and supports 90% of cameras. out of all hybrid systems Exacq and aver are the best options

    Newbie needs a lot of help...

    Hi John. just been looking though the manual for your dvr. and i think your problem is the software you have got on disk http://www.ipremoteview.com/ this has nothing to do with your dvr. i will send you a new manual to see if the settings are the same as your manual.

    Struggling with Remote playback

    carphone warehouse is also the same company (now in american bestbuy hands) forget about port forwarding if you have either of these routers . both have a talktalk lock out (limited on what you can do) and also block ddns service which you are going to need as they dont give static IPs. best solution for you is to swap out there router and get a netgear from PC world (£50) then you can portforward

    Looking for a good box camera and lens combo

    hi. by the time you have bought your IR illuminators then camera then lens and housing you are over the cost of the CNB XHN. full control and setup from your dvr.

    Newbie needs a lot of help...

    Hi John. just a few things to try. for local enter http://192.168.0. x or http://192.168.0.x:8000 or http://192.168.0.x:9000 you dont need to add 80 when local x is your dvr ip end number. also can you find a link or a picture of your dvr ?? you may not have the right ports open some DVRs have there own.

    Lilin DVR316 Opinion Wanted

    hi. looking at specs each site tells it own story. some even say it has a dvd (must be one of those new small ones .... cant see any) but i love the free bees they give (makes me want to buy one just for the glasses. ADD. lilin 16 Channel H.264 D1 SVGA USB backup IE Ready 1TB DVR with Free Designer Sunglasses if you are looking at buying one look at the warrenty page some say 1 year some say 3 but most say warrenty is with the manufacture (please send it back to them) ??? best bet is buy a dauha. (unless you want the sunglasses)

    Security Camera Kit Opinions

    love it. OPs spec is dahua and CNB and you send him to crap on ebay sectorsecurity. Box systems are the ones to stay away from > cheap cameras poor power and cable all = crap. But the system you have listed is a put together system with brand name products. = dahua / CMB good cable and power / monitor getting all that for that price is a good find. i see were you are comming from for your $4k budget as you still need to buy housings and you may need to change some of the camera lens
  23. hi. you have a dauha dvr. you will find the settings you need under schedule. you will see Regular MD and alarm. if you want just motion set all cameras to MD or parts of the day always record (regular) and night time MD (motion detect)
  24. threaded rivits are ideal for clad fixings such as steel and aluminium.
