dont think anyone would use red cat5 for fire alarms. would not be covered by any regs. cat5 comes in many colours and its only for identification. this is fire detection data cable.

when you made a new account did you call it a name ??

is your dvr on a network ???

yes put battary back in. (removing it does nothing for the avers) yes user and 111111. see what happends. if you get no were then unplug H/drive and re install firmware update

rory can pass you a lead to buy direct. been using a company for 4 years and has never let me down $1 for a pair.

can you get in if you use user ? has Admin gone from the menu.

Hi you have the LJD colossus lite. the baby version of the hik colossus. very good little unit but never had mobile remote. only software view. you could use a encoder that is compatable with iphone and use the TV out. you will need to use the pinch to zoom in and out on your phone for each camera but it does work well.

am not a big fan of giving out Passwords. ... what passwords have you been using and which one did you use when you first set the DVR up.

i only highlighted the unit that was asked for. it is a new app (only 10 days old) claims to work on 89% of dvr/ip cameras. i only posted it as it is the only way to get Avigilon onto an iphone at the moment. just gives avigilon customers something to use till they have there own.

lift shafts are a hard call. just to cover yourself just call the lift company. there are so many regs all differant all over the world. here in the UK wether it be a holiday inn or hilton the lift does not belong to them. the space the lift shaft takes is leased out to the lift company. everything in that space belongs to the lift company (many are otis) and nothing can be added or repaired without concent from them

These DVRs all seem to run at 6/7FPS - not the full 25/30fps. Will that still be sufficient? hi you wont find Dahua DVRs being sold in the UK on ebay .co.uk only old models from china. they get removed.

hi. then all as you need to do is change to a DVR. no encoders needed. take a look at the new dahua DVRs they are all hybrid now for adding cameras at a later date. you can view the system from any operating system and any mobile iphone and android. plus alot cheaper than buying 8 encoders.

I have absolutely none in mind - wouldn't I be better buying a non-D1 DVR and then waiting about a year until the prices go down? Jack Hi. D1 is not that expensive. pm me your total budget. if you install a system that does not conform to DPA standards you can loose alot of money.

hi. that is called a hybrid. still no point in doing that if the current DVR is working. unless you intend to add ip at a later date. is your customer just looking at viewing his current system over the internet ???

$4k on every job.

the only PTZ (not a true ptz) that panasonic do is only a 180 deg pan. (digital) with POE. the cheapest panasonic true 360deg PTZs start at $1500.and there not POE. like soundy says $1000 for a good PTZ ip is going to be hard even if you get discount for buying 20.

Hi. take alook at the new dahua DVR. called the Dahua EFFIO HF-s-e. very good image quality

yes it can if you get a combatable encoder. but it will not improve the images. they will just be the same as you have now. its ok if you are doing an upgrade on a system were ip are being added with existing old cameras . then you would use encoders or use a hybrid. but just to change analoge to digital has no benifit

the problem is that they get no benifit from using encoders. they will just get the same image as they have.

hi. are you changing from a DVR to a NVR or hybrid unit. using encoders for a lot of cameras seem like a wast of money. they dont come cheap.

it is better to go D1. because you are a restaurant / hotel you do come under the DPA act. which means your system has to be fit for purpose. doing your system yourself is not a problem and is a good way of saving money. do you have a DVR in mind.

£250 is a very good price. you will get most (except PTZ) for under that. cat5 is the cable you need to ask for comes in 305m reels (dont go with cheap stuf) mostly comes in gray or black in the UK. your local city electrical factors will be best. (CEF) what type of budget do you have for your DVR. having good cameras and then using a bad dvr is a waste of money.

hi what cameras and system do you have ?

are you installing on a licenced premisess

hi it may be best if you can give some sort of budget first. listing cameras and DVRs is easy but if you have a small budget it can be a lot of work for nothing. another is to list each distance from DVR to camera (cable runs) but for your install dont buy from the likes of ebay. full body camera. looks like this. this is a complete camera from CNB. is this what you ment.
