do you mean how can you be alerted to a cable being cut ???? most systems will have a function called video loss this will make your dvr beep or if you have email alert it can send you info. but if you are talking Can anyone tell me how to identify a suspect when someone is cutting the video cable of a cctv camera then it would be better to hide or protect your cable .. to identify a person cutting the cable ... your camera would need to have the view of the cable in its image to identify

hi chris. what charity are you involved in. i have just got a price from qvis. (dahua dvr) and 16 cameras (qvis) trade price is in your budget. less another 10% if the charity is a known one.

Hi remove the hard drive and reboot then see if your system stays on without hard drive.

+1 on your apollo the pins are marked as A & B you will find them on the bottom green connector strip just above were you put your network cable in. (last 2 on the right looking from the back of your dvr) so >>> RX+ connect to A ..... RX- connect to B (using data cable from ptz to dvr i.e cat5)

out of the two FD8361 is the best option. it costs more as its much better.

hi both cameras are POE. vivotek is a good budget for your cameras. i would also use there software very easy to use and setup. ST7501 its free. http://www.vivotek.com/products/model.php?soft=st7501

wireless will be the wrong way to go. system is to big and wireless has many problems. what is your budget for the system.

Hi. i have never used the Edimax router. we always use netgear 3g/4g router. mobile 3g for cctv is expensive if you dont get a security package from the likes of t-mobile or vodafone.. but since this post was started we have found another cheap way. which is though the BT FON wireless network. you can either buy network time or change your home ISP to BT or (o2 bt) and connect free. this will allow you to use a wireless router at DVR site. so do a search (wireless network) at dvr site and see if you can get either BT FON or BT hotspot

Hi what equipment do you have. ?? on some cameras or dvr you will need to look for other settings other than motion detect. snap shots are part of alarm settings

how far will your cameras be from the DVR once installed. you may be better just using the baluns that you have on each camera and having the VPS at your DVR.

hi johnregor. you will need to use both ip addresses for your system. if you can log on away from the system then everything is setup ok. you can view your system away from your dvr location because you are using your external IP address. but in most cases you cant use your external while on your local network. internal ip >>> your dvr address plus port external ip >>> ddns address or static ip address plus port

it depends on your camera or DVR settings. sending snapshots you will also need to reset your pre and post alarm time and also the FTP can be set to a time or file size. the smaller the better.

hi. the first thing for your install is a good pool alarm. you can get some good floating remote alarms for pools. we have had a few from a company in texas. in a pool situation CCTV does not take away the liability side from your customer unless they monitor the camera 24/7. a good pool alarm and some Optex Photo Beams would be a better way to spend your money. then take a look at putting a camera over the pool area. if you dont have a very big budget then your best using a standard camera (without IR)

you can use software. but there is nothing better than a PTZ controller (dont need dvr)

why do you do the work if you dont like cctv. i think you are Anti cctv because you dont understand how it is used or works. in the case above the cctv gave the police a starting point to find the child as they knew the street the child was to walk down. so you start from that point. (the start of evidence collection) and in the case above it was the guys car that gave him away. but evidance collection from cctv can do alot more. use the link to work it out. http://www.online-calculator.com/ billions used on CCTV, yes each person pays from there taxes but what do you think it would cost to have a police officer on every street 24/7 365 days. i think you will find your taxes will have to go up alot.

Fa chris. you do know that while you are walking down a street that has cameras the operator does not have a clue who you are. so how can it be an invasion. most street cameras in america can be logged into by anyone. am 3500m away from DC but i can log in to any of there cameras just as i can in NY/NC/SC florida atlanta. they are put in with your money for you to also use. going on a long drive .... look at traffic (beat the jams)

your main problem is your budget. bad light conditions will need extra lighting. like eco pir lights i would say look at Analog with your budget. you could take a look at avermedia hybrid cards and use both analog and ip cameras and add to your system when your budget allows. but i would start with your lighting first.

i think Barack Obama will take your side. he has not paid a UK fine while in his Beast in london. Obama's 'beast' slapped with fine American President Barack Obama has been slapped with a £120 London Congestion Charge fine. The ticket relates to the President's state visit to Britain in May, when his motorcade - including 'The Beast' - drove through central London's Congestion Charge zone. http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/20072011/36/obama-s-beast-slapped-fine-0.html

hi cctvguy. i was just talking about the company name you posted. .... they call themselfs something new every vew months. just copy past there phone number into google.

hi pm sent ... dahua and qvis cameras.

If I type the IP address of the DVR, it loads the webviewer software fine on the LAN. in most cases you cant use your Wan ip from your own network. also do you have a static ip

I have both set. I'm using the WAN IP address, I confirmed this with ipchicken and other 3rd party sites. can you log on with your LAN ip ??

same system. very low quality cif only. box systems never work. cctvguy1 how many more times are you going to change your company name. ??? good way of dodging upset customers.

the company is doing well and expanding into home automation
