  1. Hi avermedia hybrid is a good little dvr. but if your not going to use the ip side then Mace is also a good dvr. they also have dahua in there range. which are also good units. am not a big fan of internal cameras on arm brackets not very secure

    Hi Nimrod. please dont take this the wrong way but lens charts just dont work for me at all. a good vari focal camera will give you a very good face image at 10ft-20ft even 30ft
  3. Tom, Could you recommend PayPal checker for Ebay? I am old and frequent buyer on eBay and have never heard about such checkers. Therefore, I cannot discern two different buyers with the same PayPal account. hi i dont use paypal on ebay i dont use it. i use wells fargo paypal system

    Need advise on security of network CCTV

    it does depend on what your cctv provider means. the dvr could have its own ddns server or he could just be setting you up with a ddns account both are secure. you could just get a static ip from your ISP (protected by your user name and password) you might be best putting a link up to the type of dvr you are thinking of buying.

    Underpowered Cameras

    terse manner. no i dont think so this post has already taken 2 pages and the op has still not answered any ones questions. but when he starts to call good long term members an ass. then things start to change. what new ops need to remember is its them that are having problems with there system and the forum members are here to help. without the forum then its a call to an engineer and that cost money. members on the forum, lots with years of experiance that they have spent in time and $$$$ learning give for free. call me wrong but i think respect is also needed if you want information from an engineer for FREE if not its time to pick up the yellow pages.

    Nimrod. do you do the costings for your company for the customer??? you are very quick to price yourself out of a job. going from a costco system to 2x 5mp and 2 Analog is way over spec. a simple good reliable Dahua 4 way dvr with 4 good cameras will do the job. i would stay away from the costcos/sam`s box systems. there are a few stockists of dahua on here. were are you located ??
  7. do you not use paypal checker. i dont use ebay at all. but i do use paypal to pay my bills over in america
  8. EBAY. that the problem there. to be honest i think your the seller. you cant tell us you did not notice $100 differance on each card / same seller but different name but same paypal account. sorry if you are a ebay user and you did not pick up on the simple security check. buy from a cctv company you get support ...... leave the crap on ebay
  9. Hi this post has been running for a long time did you ask for help ??? can you pm me your ip with a temp password

    Mobile DVR Recommendation

    that is a problem my customers would not like $250 / $300 for 64GB card. we have a customers with 3 tour buses that go from England to south Spain. for him to swap from avers to yours (avers will record all there and back on 1TB) 16 x 64gb = 1TB 16 x $250 = $4000 x 3 = $12.000. i dont think we need to call NASA to see if we have a problem. H/drive is best

    Yet another newbie and a female one to boot..

    signs are never a good thing on the side of your home. kids love it. and it can also bring more problems with neighbours. people dont like to see or think they are being watched. before you fully install your system try it just for a day or so with the cameras just outside your window see what type of images you get. Maplin systems have a few problems 1 being burning off to usb other is quality cif units are old hat. check these things out first before you install everything. last november in leeds we were asked to look at a maplins system. police were called 3 time and on each time the footage was usless. a usless system is just as bad as not having a system at all

    had them run even longer. now we cant tell if SSD will last as long because it has not been around that long in a size that can be used for large recordings. another insult to another company. i know you want to push your product but all you are doing now is making your company look stupid. if all you can do is insult other companies. what that does is make your company look desperate

    Underpowered Cameras

    Actually, it's nothing like that. Best, Christopher hows that... i thought you came on to ask about your cameras. if you give the info asked for you might be able to get your system working. we need to know your camera power input .... not what you think it is. the size of your new power supply how far are your cameras away from your power supply type of cable used

    Underpowered Cameras

    well it depends on your camera. no not the case you mention IR so could be more and also you have what i call a kick in power (the time the IR comes on) to also add what size is your power unit. each output may have 1.5 fuse but you need to know total output and how far from your power unit are your cameras. you could still be under powered what power are your cameras or post a link.

    well i think around 20 years with video tape units (vcl) and around 10 years for H/drive units is a long time. to be honest with you. i think you would have been better joining the forum and letting people know about your products. and not compaire yours with avermedia a system you know nothing about. aver is onto its 8th year and 3rd model all with H/drive units 1000s sold around the world. take a look at some of the posts on here guys have even used standard aver eb 4 way units as mobile dvrs with no problems. so mobile dvr with H/drives dont have a problem. infact all your products except 1 has H/drive storage
  16. hi. take alook at the avermedia nv3000 or nv5000
  17. i think you are going to have some problems with virgin. 1st you need a static ip which virgin will carge you for and you will also need to up your usage. your ip has already changed from the one you have listed. check with virgin first if you can view on your virgin package. and if so then you will need either a static ip from them or use a ddns service.

    DVR Suggestions

    Hi Cougar. what i would say is before you buy read on posts on the forum. it will save you money. the Nuvico AP-C1610 Apex series i would not touch. been out for a few years started life as a $4000 dvr now you see it for $3000 or $1900. that alone tells you its going to be discontinued very soon. also it is a very low spec dvr 6fps @ D1 is poor with other systems out there. that dvr and your camera posts just dont match $300 cameras on a 6fps dvr. Dahua have dvrs with much better specs and they have now releast good cameras. but with your budget on cameras i would also take a look at hybrid units as you are in the ip range in price. have a mix and match of ip and standard. this is another reason why the forum will save you money the honeywell camera at $300 yes its a CNB now price it under the CNB badge you might get 2 for the same price.

    Greetings from Sunny Spain

    hi what part of spain are you in. ???
  20. have you pointed them to your dvr ip
  21. " title="Applause" /> nice find thewireguys. ill have to try one.
  22. Hi keith. who is your ISP and do you have a static ip. remember you cant log on to wan from your network in most cases.
  23. many companys are now putting into there specs not to use green drives they just dont work WD even now have a statement green drives are not warranted on dvr use. (100s of people sending back, WD finding no faults) some HDrive manufatures even say not to use AV HDrives for DVRs they are designed for PVR were they are stopping and starting all the time .... which DVRs dont.
