Hi foxguard. i would just replace the camera with what was there to start with. of just use a none POE as the power and data is already there. (check voltage first) if they are fussy about the wall they will just be as fussy with extra adaptors that you cant hide

yes but moving your PTZ you will also need to see the image. and if your Transmitter is only 5v then it will not have a 1 mile range. list the make of equipment you have .

hi. you might find you cant use your home network for your external ip. some ISP block this. you will have to try connecting from another network to see if yours is working or not.

just this alone is going to cost you 1k. i think you need to put some more thought into your project. if you do go rs485 for ptz control and video then you can save power at your camera end and only have the PTZ camera have the dvr at the receiver end. but for 1 mile you do need line of sight. if this is a long time install and your dvr is outside then with your power you will also have to add heaters to your power loss. and with your system being so far away you might want to look at some sort of GSM alarm security to protect everything. is there no power at all or network were you are going to install your PTZ.

can you list the PTZ and dvr that you will be using ??? lighting is not a problem as you can pick solar floods up cheap now so you dont have to add them to your power loss. is there a reason why you want to use a PTZ since you will not have control over it ?? set on tour will drain your power quick. you could go with a rapid deployment CNB PTZ 4g but thats your budget gone. but it does last a week

are at the very cheap range. and do come with problems. dvr kits are made up of the cheapest parts you can get. low quality leead kits poor power supplies. and colour ir cameras that are no good at night. when you take alook at your friends. it may look good on the screen . but remember its the recorded quality that you need. ask him to burn off say 1hrs of footage (it will take about 40mins) then take the footage home and see if you can replay it on your pc

andy. i think CCTV has changed alot since you was last involved.

the only thing with lorex systems is they are the next step up from a pen and sketchpad. the recording quality is bad and thats the important part of any system.

Dahua in the uk is under the qvis name. and for the basic dahua with 500gb and internet viewing and 4 cameras is in your budget.

i would look at a few posts back. like soundy has said just buy a cheap ip like a foscam it will save you alot of time and effort. a web cam is going to give you bad images. then you have to leave the pc on just to run your webcam. what software are you using with your ip cams

do you have a system that takes ip ?

you can connect a GSM dialer to any CCTV dvr. pick them up for around $70 you just get another sim from your cell company (pay as you go) so as you dont get cross network charges. but most of the time now its all done via email from dvr (no charges) can you get internet onyour phone.

hi. the avtech 3g server could be attached to a number of there dvrs. it alerts you via sms message (cell charge) and if you needed to view footage you called the server back with your mobile which also has a charge. these servers were used if no internet was at the dvr location. do you have internet ??

are you using the software that came with your encoder ?

try removing all samsung programes from your laptop (and activex for dvr) then right click IE and pick run as administrator

i would take alook at your camera power supply first. if you have all control of dvr but just have video loss on every screen. then i would NOT do a hard reset (not on the avertech anyway)

Ebay is never a good place to buy a dvr. but if you are happy with that dvr .......... google it .............. i did and its cheaper than yours on ebay by $70

Hi. you would use GR59 with power to each camera and attach to the camera pig tail bnc. and then BNC onto dvr or another way is Cat 5 with baluns (you can run 4 cameras off 1 run) but best using 1 pair for video and the rest for power.

Hi its a honeywell about 10/12 years old. dont think there is much support around for it now.

hey Rory, thanks for that link, i saw another camera similar to the linked one , but it is a indoor camera, the CNB LJL-20S, just have to find out if they come in white, if not i will just paint them.. another one to look at. http://www.qvissecurity.com/Catalogue/Cameras/Eyeball-Domes/Professional-Range/600TVL-20-30M-IR-4-9mm-Lens-With-OSD-EYE-2407WH-N

Hi. with your kit. did you use lead kits to connect your cameras. many people install these kits and find they want better images. if you have used lead kits you will find you will need to replace them . what would be a good replacement for them? RG59 or cat5. lead kits are 80% the problem with images. can only run very low amps and volts and limited to lenth. getting images from your camera to dvr is the important part. D1 has nothing to do with your bandwidth. you can have D1 on every channel

am abit confused ..... why will D1 give problems .... this is all done at the dvr no network needed

active call was an add on for avtech and also you are charged on every alarm call made. can get expensive with fauls alarms. can you get email on your cell ???

also another good pixim camera. http://www.koreacctv.com/eng/product/product_view.php?ac_id=87&ai_id=558
