    Speco Video feed just went dead, no picture

    Ok now it is around same time stopped working last night and once again, The Cameras went out again. I am losing my mind. They worked all day and now, nothing. what gives, can anyone help me. tech support is closed till monday. Jeff Hi could be a few things. if you have cameras with IR. are your cameras getting enough power when the IR switches on. what size power supply are you using / how far are your cameras from the dvr / and what power do your cameras need.
  3. Hi most isp have smtp port 25 blocked. for yahoo/hotmail/google try using port 995
  4. shazam. i can see this being a long post. you have asked weather to go poe or not so more info is needed. you dont need to take your medicine or have that expence. if you can give the info needed to help you. info like how far are your cameras from your dvr/nvr the spec of your existing pc. do you have a network inplace.
  5. 4k is a good budget ... you get people on here wanting the same as you with a budget of $600. we just need some more info. i.e how far are your cameras going to be from your dvr/nvr. and also is pc upto the task to run your system. with your budget i would go with a hybrid dvr/nvr. (you can do more with your budget) Dahua hybrid dvr is a good little unit and CNB cameras will be a good place to start with your homework.

    Is this item any good

    list it on ebay ... then post your add on here 20 min later . like your style. just to help your add along. buying from ebay can be good or bad MOST of the time its bad. everfocus is a good dvr. BUT people know what they are worth . and with it starting at 99c i would say it has problems

    Recommended Cameras for Retail Store

    Why not tell us how you really feel? its ok rory the spammer was deleted so i deleted my post. i think alot of people are looking for other than CNB. the price is starting to be a problem. we are abit lucky in the uk as CNB cameras are never on the likes of ebay.co.uk as the distributor has them removed. CNB has to off load out of date stock . and they seem to be doing this though the US distributors. but they do need to control the new cameras and protect there prices. i will pm you rory with another camera that is cheaper than CNB well worth you getting a demo.
  11. marquita188. hi no one is biting your head off. sometimes people dont like what the hear. and its the same when other come back with i read this and that. we are only pointing out that you will not do much with $25 cameras. (in your post you called them expensive) you will need to change the cameras. when you do post details on the forum before you buy and people will help.
  12. like i said before, the price doesn't matter. i read about it in a pro magazine. it must be ok then. well the best thing is to have a look at the settings on the back of your camera or on the OSD. start by doing a factory reset. and then focus your camera. and then start to alter the settings to suit your camera view. if you cant do any of the above then you have a problem that cant be fixed. history of a cheap $25 camera. it will start off in life as a $5 -6 camera from china. by the time the guy in america has had it shipped its now a $12 camera ebay fees postage and his bit of profit takes it too $25. i dont know what people or PRO magazine expect to get from a $6 camera.
  13. I've read that it doesn't matter how expensive the camera is the purple can still show up. Hi. yes you are right. but to be honest thats people over pricing cheap cameras. the problem is a good camera will have settings to alter on set-up. but your camera has no settings at all. so what you see is what you get.
  14. Hi. not much you can do with cheap cameras. people pay more than $24 for dummy cameras. you will have to buy better quality cameras if you need better images.
  15. simple just dont buy clone cards. ..... geo have done a very good job in making these cards usless with a simple update.

    avermedia login

    do any installers use the following dvrs from avermedia the : sa /eb /seb 4-8-16 and 32 they have a login problem i have the instructions here from avermedia to get passed the problem. this does not affect the nv cards.

    Avermedia Apps

    Not very excited to hear that. I've built but haven't tried hooking up my new server I built; A xeon processor, 2 NV6480 cards and Windows 7. Haven't had much success using the Android App but I may not have the router, etc configured properly. hi. ICUUCME. aver cards have no problem being used on windows 7 at all. but the APPs are port reliant. for iphone and android you ports need to be 5550.
  19. bosh does some good stuff. on your first post you said cameras 1 end dvr the other. your last post makes more sence. ... you want to add two cameras to your exising system from another location.
  20. hi. your not replacing anything. if you have your cameras in one location (standard) and your DVR in another. then that is the best way ... just put them together and use a remote software. if you are just going to use video encoders. i would save the money and just replace your cameras with say a good 1.3mp axis camera and pc with software at the other location.
  21. hi. thats alot of money to waste. why not just put your dvr with the cameras and remote log in from internet.
  22. what do you get with your webcam if you plug it direct into your pc and use the software that came with it. ??? not i-catcher.
