i think cctv plays a very big part after the fact. its one of the purposes of cctv. in order to provide possible evidence in criminal cases. it can also play a big part in before the fact. many times we have had a jewellery store raids and on the day of the raid all you see is guys in masks / type of cloths / shoes/ but going back a few days on the system before the raid you see the same gang entering the store to plan there raid

Hi. for the same price as the maplin system. you can get 4 cameras and a 4way dahua DVR. if you get your money back from maplins ill send you a link.

hi. you will also need to add the port number to the ip. so you need to type http://your ip:5550 Correct, All I'm getting is the Page Cannot be displayed error.. I'm quite confident the port forward is right, as I've done it quite a few times. When entering in my ports, do I select TCP, UDP, or both? hi. set TCP/UDP to both. are you using your internal ip to log in ?

hi. the first thing we do with maplins stuff is put in the bin. maplins dont have bad batches they buy and sell graded units. end of line and returned systems. this has been brought up on the forum before. you are best taking your system back for a full refund. if not buy some good smoke alarms (not from maplins) power supplies that arch out is just a fire waiting to happen

a good test lead to have in your tool box is a BNC to micro clip. grips the poles well from monitor test point in the camera. plus its ideal to check cable at DVR end before you crimp your BNC. for around $5 well worth having one with any BNC test monitor.

the VIVOTEK FE8171V is a very good camera for the money. been out in the uk for a few months now and selling well. fisheye domes, the FE8171V is the first fisheye fixed dome network camera from Vivotek, featuring 3 megapixel resolution. Equipped with a fisheye lens for 180 degree panoramic view (wall mount) or 360 degree surround view (ceiling/floor/table mount) without blind spots, this camera is able to provide an 8X wider field of view than a standard VGA camera, significantly reducing the need for multiple camera installations, Vivotek claims. It is suitable for monitoring open areas such as airports, shopping malls, parking lots, retail stores, offices, and much more. The FE8171V offers a variety of display layouts, including original surround view, panoramic views, and regional views for various mounting applications. Hemispherical images captured from the fisheye camera can be converted into conventional rectilinear projection for viewing and analysis. And in the panoramic and regional viewing modes, users can utilize the ultra-smooth ePTZ function to easily zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI). The FE8171V features a removable IR-cut filter, and its IP67-rated housing is designed to help the camera body withstand rain and dust and ensures operation under harsh weather conditions. It also features vandal-proof IK10-rated housing

if your ip cameras have audio (built in mic) then you need to do two things. login to your camera with its own software and enable audio. then log back in with your server software and under camera settings in the Vivotek ST3402 you will see image / audio / or image and audio. click image and audio box.

Hi. if 2.5amp is the total for 4 cameras that may be too low. bosh 24v are 700ma each. plus looking at your image you have cameras front and back of your home. you also need to take cable lenth into account. (voltage drop)

Hi adam. many companies in UK are droping geo. all as they are interested in at the moment is if the card or software is fake or not. this problem seems to happen to geo cards when you have first done the build everything is fine. and you start seeing the problem when you add extra H/drive or connect to another network or even just adding a KVM mouse control. geo does have a USB dongle for card and software authentication but they want silly money for it. i dont see the point in buying geo cards from a true distributor and having to buy a authentication dongle. should be given free to long time user of geo cards. geo need to sort themselfs out.

Hi i would also say power. what size power supply are you using and what cameras do you have.

same again google. i.e SSC-G103 google SSC-G103 pdf = http://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/files/cat/camsec/events/pdf/sscg103a.pdf

hi. google is simple to operate. only takes a little of your time. but you will find all here. http://pro.sony-asia.com/product/ssc-n12

hi. are you using ip or standard cameras. baluns are for standard the hub you would use for ip.

i think you are talking about the setting up of a PTZ camera that then uses an encoder. if you see ip cameras listing 580tvl -600tvl then they are cameras with encoders. you will also see webcams being sold as ip (vga) the cheap end of the market. if you want to go ip then dont go below 1.3mp

Hi still needs ports. and you only get snapshots. $99 a year. and for that they want to know everything about you except the name of your dog.

Hi is there a problem why you cant use ports ?? some routers or hubs have now got good security built in which is going to make access harder without ports.

hi.bullngator the samsung SCD range are internal cameras external range are SCV. i would say not to use your SCD for outside

hi need2. sorry but the company have just sent me there price list and specs (AVS) and what they call the apollo and titan or atom. are there names for there DVRs. and are nothing like the brands that i know under that name.

HI the apollo is a dahua DVR. the new range seem very good (qvis) but the titan is polish based software designed by a company called big bratt. and they charge for a licence fee for everything. not used the titan since 2009 it was a very unstable dvr. might be better now but we called over 30 units back in 2009. (still got some here). if i had a choice between the titan and the Leviathan. which is the atom. i would go with the leviathan its been around for years with good upgrades. all of which are qvis own brand except the apollo

geo is a toy compaired to aventura. the aventura may seem to be expensive if you buy it fully loaded. the key is to buy with just the analytics you need and will use.

Hi glf. i would not trust sending money to them. then you also have to take into account support. that site comes up as not safe on ip check. take a look at y-cam they have sd cams in your price range.

so why advertise an IR camera ??? it might be a better start if you remove your company prices before posting.

Hi just to get it to work as a standard camera is just not worth it. yes it is feasible but your just adding more cost. cameras now only need 1 coax and 1 pair for control. your camera you will need to run 6 pair and coax at least if you want to build your own control unit. all that cost for a black white camera. you can buy a CNB 30x zoom box camera for less

in the places that you do need audio then you are best using cameras that have 2 way. sanyo/axis I disagree 1 system is easier to manage/support and use. i would also keep everything together. i.e images and sound. having separate system for audio is usless without images.
