  1. The frame rate issue is a very tricky one. The fact is the speeds that manufacturers quote are usually the "maximum" IPS (image per second). And FPS (frames per second) why do they do this-because 2IPS=1FPS. Therefore, it takes 60IPS to equal 30FPS or a single real-time image. anything that has IPS is only to make the spec look good. and then there is the other setting to look out for (found on alot of cheap chines dvrs) is Fields per second which are IPS 10 Fields" per second = 5fps
  2. costco box sets are a cheap way to buy cctv. ..... but if you are looking for quality then you need to forget about costco. it all depends on your budget and how much homework you put in to finding the right system.

    CCTV for convenience stores

    thanks for reply. when staff are scanning the products (or not scanning them in some cases and putting them straight into there bag) i want to know what they are? Hi to replace your existing system is an expence you dont need. if you are just having a problem at your counter area then i would just install a 4 camera system with POS just to monitor that area. 1 system 4 mp cameras 1 microphone. that way everything at the sales counter is recorded and the sales from your registers. http://www.averusa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=138

    what are "hybrid IR Illuminators"

    sorry i have seen much better images from cheaper cameras. the problem with your image. your car is clear the guys feet in the background is clear. the guy walking in the image (the area you need most ) is very poor not clear at all (looks like a ghost walking past.) have another look at rorys pictures my point. (i did not see you camera link at first) that camera is not hybrid at all sold all over the uk from £30 to £150. just the price if a hybrid Illuminator is alot more than your camera.

    what are "hybrid IR Illuminators"

    yes it does. CNB does hybrid cameras (without white light) like it has already been said. 930nm or 830nm together is called hybrid 830nm and white light together is also hybrid. what make is your camera. ??? and again hybrid can be added to cheap cameras or part of a cheap camera. anything new that comes along the cheap guys will make a cheap version. but with hybrid you also need the camera to have two light filters. if its a cheap camera i think one filter will me missing. giving a bad night image.

    what are "hybrid IR Illuminators"

    I don't believe this is correct, and "perhaps" sounds like a guess to me. taken from the raytex site , HYBRID illuminators have been designed for all applications where both the advantages of Infra-Red (long illumination distances, covert surveillance) and White-Light (lighting as a visible deterrent, colour images) are needed. The Infra-Red light in HYBRID provides constant covert lighting of an area, delivering 24 hour CCTV coverage without causing light pollution or illuminating an area for criminals or intruders. The White-Light in HYBRID can be activated on intrusion into a secure zone creating a bright, visible deterrent to any intruders who know they are being watched the moment the light turns on.

    Email and FTP help please

    hi. you dont need authentication if you own the IP (i.e paid for static) you might be better setting up a Google mail account. as you might have a problem with going though 3rd party with BT. from 02. do you need software to veiw footage from your dvr ?

    Email and FTP help please

    if the guy is of no help and you are able to send it back. then send it back. its from ebay and you already have a problem. say in 2 months time you have a problem you are stuck. the guy has bad feedback and he has not sold much (thats a warning about him) for around the same price you could get a dahua DVR (and they come with warranty)

  18. Hi W/D are good just dont buy the green drives. but a would say pay a little more and go for a 500 or 1tb your new NVR also runs IP. and on your 1304 sata. it is a common fault the video out ..... but 99% of the time it is a mistake by the customer. on the back of the unit you will see a switch VGA or COMP. if you are running it via a vga monitor switch off unit connect vga to unit and monitor then set switch to VGA then restart dvr. if to a TV (rca) switch off dvr remove VGA and connect rca to video out then set switch to COMP then switch on your DVR. you cant just flick switch over dvr must be switched off first.

  21. hi. you can also do this though your router. on most you can block your DVR external ip and set a schedule of time of day you what the dvr to be active over the network.
  22. Hi PatMcD. that is a very old machine. just to get footage off you are going to need a VCR ..... the dvr uses floppy disk. both formats are not used anymore. save your money.
