i know the camera as hitachi leeds. what business is your boss in Antiques ??? the camera was last used 1987. just the cost in time alone you could buy something better and colour. i hate to think what your boss is going to bring out when he says he still has the recorder

hi your DVR is a TVT you only have two options. removing the hard drive may give you more problems. you only have two options with the TVT.

may have some luck with Arecont Vision AV3135 software. as they us to use that camera in 2007 ex85. not shure which camera they use now. the bosh camera will work with Exacq using AV3135.

alot of the time its possable to use USB ports and use coverters. best using converters with drivers if you want to assign com ports. USB to RS232 USB to RS232 then RS485 RS232 to RS 485 all of which can also connect PTZ or alarm I/O boxes (alarms) I/O alarm box.

hi. have you tried to start your dvr without the Hard drive connected. the zeus is a dahua DVR. (a later model) did you buy your unit direct from them.

hi. this one should work Zeus MK1 SATA Firmware v2.606 second one down in the zeus window on the left of the files i sent you.

hi. what you need to do is remove your DVR hard drive. download the software onto a memory pen insert it into the usb on your dvr and then switch it on. and it will go into update. it will tell you when done.

i have the Hardware. is your unit from UK or USA ? Tom, could you, please, let me know how to proceed? hi. just PM you what you need. look at s/number on your machine (on back) and download software to mem pen. go to step 3 on these instructions (top of page)

i have the Hardware. is your unit from UK or USA ?

on the spec of both. the everfocus is a better FPS at D1 unit. both mac and pc viewing. CNB only being 3fps which is low for that sort of money.

HI Stuartbe. it sounds like you are using alarm foil data cable. which is not a good cable to use. and if you are not using baluns at the moment. i would just pop one on each end. but before you do anything we need more info. how far are the DVRs apart from each other. are you using the monitor out on each unit ??? (you may also need to boost it)

Hi tetek. many people have tried. they just dont see sata drives. if your cusomers are just looking for more storage just add extra PATA (but dont remove the master) if you have just been changing hard drives then you will get errors. the DS operating files are on the firsts partition of the master drive. so that needs to stay in.

hi. the XR is pure ip. so you would have to run total ip mp cameras. this is the same unit but hybrid. no licence costs for both ip cameras or POS cost for software. http://surveillance.aver.com/product/hybrid-DVR-SA6832E-RACK

a Vivotek POE Injector would be the best way for you if you are just using 1 camera. Thanks for the reply - the switch can deliver the POE - does the injector then use cat 5 cable? Or what cabling needs to be run with it? hi. yes you only need cat5 with rj45 at each end... how long will the cat5 run be ??

hi. for just a little less than your budget take alook at the aver EH1004 nano. use two 1.3mp cameras for inside and two huviron P700IRD/M845AI cameras for external. the reason why i say the huviron is it has alarm outputs on the camera which you could use metal alarm strips placed over your lead. you can also record off site with the nano server software

Hi. if your VFL20S came with a light blue leaflet and a red and yellow power card. then it is old stock. at least 2 years old. both the VFL20S and the VFL21S were then releast as BNC and UTP so then came with a 15 page manual covering both and the rest in the range were you have the option to buy just BNC or BNC / UTP its just down to how old the stock is.

unsafe search S********* at least virus got detected

this dvr has not been made for the past 18 months. you need to look at the eb 3004 net and install CMS3000 on his pc/laptop. does he not have internet at both sites ??

hi. do you have internet at both sites ?? if you are going to use the avermedia then you would be better using 2 8 way dvrs. that way you would not need another pc at each site to view all images. with the aver eh1008 nano you can have 4 cameras and 4 cameras from another site on the same system. so both sites will be recording all 8 cameras.

what state are you in. a number of states have now introduced regulations which prohibit the use of a security camera in a "private place" - which means a place where someone may reasonably expect to be safe from any unauthorized surveillance, even if these may be in "public areas": in particular, hidden cameras in locker rooms or restrooms. Keep in mind though that even in those states where there is some minimal regulation regarding the use of security cameras in public places, any breach of these laws usually amounts to a misdemeanor, with a fine.

colm. can i just point out this post and your others. YOU are asking for help and advice. your PM to me makes no sence at all. YOUR asking for advice. but you dont like it when we give advice to others

we dont class a ptz that you have to set the optical zoom by hand and only have digital zoom as the controlled. thats why we say there not true PTZs the camera listed even says its 100x zoom (Informer PTZ -EXT Dome Sony ExView 570tvl CCD CCTV Camera 100X Zoom 10 X Optical ) a bit missleading when the company does not even know what its selling.

that is not a true PTZ (classed as mini) not worth the money.

what state are you in that will allows you to record people in a park area. and collect car information on a shopping centre. alot of states dont allow you to do either. i think cameras looking into a park area and monitoring a shopping centre is called spying (without a persons knowledge)
