Tom I think you are referring to CMOS vs CCD sensors not lenses. I was talking about the sensor in the camera not being aligned properly. CMOS vs CCD has nothing to so with image focus. Take a look at Avigilon CMOS cameras they focus perfectly. I have a job with 26 Arecont 5MP Box cameras all with the same fixed 4mm 2/3 lens and some can be fully focused and some can not. yes sorry sensors (i was looking at when you buy cameras complete) cmos or ccd.

also down to the lens type if you use over 3mp or over with a cmos lens then you do see the problem as much. 1.3mp cmos then you see it all the time you can only focus the centre of the image and you start to loose focus at the edges. cmos lenses are getting better but ccd still just takes the edge.

hi. dont expect alot from 2.4ghz devices. and this is from sentients spec sheet. transmission range with clear line of sight' is the only true measurement of distance that can be given. Passing signals through Walls and other materials is not quantifiable as the composition of the material and other factors (such as moisture metal content of a wall) will affect the attenuation of the signal. Also proximity to similar ambient frequencies in the location may affect the transmission range and / or signal quality so not much you can do if you are expecting to go though walls. you will also have problems with wireless door bells not just your but everyone who has one in a 100m range including bluetooth devices / wireless routers / baby monitors / other 2.4ghz cctv systems.

hi. it depends on what your budget is. and remember google is a very powerful tool. do a check on both of your links. the camera site ..... no contact numbers do a ip check and he sells from home. so what is the support going to be like. you cant even pick up its all post. so just that alone i would walk away from that camera. the avtech dvr you could do better for a few £££ more. have a read though the forum for a few days plan your system take a look at camera snapshots in the forum

Hi peter. i take it you are in the uk. the head unit cant be used in the uk anymore. so your best bet is to remove the camera and lens from the head unit and just sell the camera and lens together. but the other problem is not having a control unit. and no one is going to spend good money on a camera so old. the only way to make any money is just sell the computar lens on its own

no all avers run with the app and it is live stream and not refresh java. it is h264. if you pm me your address i will call and look ............. i have never come across anyone having problems with remote viewing. something simple in setup is stopping you (on your phone) because the link i sent of another dvr does not work either. how far are you from the spar shop in vickerscross

lower bridge street

am in chester also

on your iphone 4 do you have updates turned on........... were are you based ???

i have sent you a pm with another ip address for you to try with your iphone. if you see images then we know its settings on your dvr.

can you press f1 on your keyboard and post what you see

ok try this one on your iphone. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dss-iviewer/id368687985?mt=8

take a look at your network page and top right see if all cameras are ticked

i see your problem. you do not have vieiwing rights with your password ........... just type admin and not mark or go into users and edit your name and you need to tick cames you wish to view. the symbol on your iphone means its on but you dont have rights to watch. just change mark to admin first.

can you just do a quick test on your pc. please enter http://yourlocalip:5550/mobile and see what comes on your pc screen

hi .... everything is port 5550 on the avers ...... port 300 has nothing to do with handy viewer. also a new app for the iphone app was released. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/averdigi-iviewer/id336316715?mt=8

Hi mark. you only need to portforward port 5550 for everything. and which iphone do you have

i can see your problem if you are going to install a dvr card into your customers existing pc. and he uses that pc also for private use. (not a good idea for a security system) for what you are trying to do you need a windows embedded system. you need to capture the pos data into a file on the pc if you want pos search. if you dont need pos search then just go RS232 and you can use any pos compatible system.

it could also make your customers unhappy. one of the best ddns services is free. and it wont give you a reoccuring income. once done its done. networking a dvr is only 10 mins of the install time. and part of your sales to sell your systems in the first place is your customer can have remote viewing. a good customer is the best customer ...... you make more money from recommendations. ........ also a good customer can become a good asset. if they recommend you and you get a confirmed job they earn themselfs $50.

How so? Please explain, and also to the OP, please explain your argument for it being too complicated also, I would like to hear both sides in depth, thanks. Ive found, with current stand alone DVRs they can be just as complicated, and with older ones those can be more of a PITA for end users to operate not having a mouse for example like the new ones. with the avermedia they all operate the same . be it standalone /pc/ or hybrid the operating screen is the same. eh/eb/nv/sa/ touch. all have the same screen. so no differance in operation to the operator. Nano nv/sa/touch eh / eb(remote)

secom in the past have used other companys software. one being avermedia and they have also used hikvision. do you have a screen shot of your display ??? secom will not help if you dropped out of there service contract

there is no differance with using an embedded windows based to a standalone. the operating side is the same. if you dont need pos search then you would be best going RS232 to 485

i take it you have bought your camera secondhand ???

with not going RS232 and needing utp then go pc based (you need it for pos search) you need a keyboard to search. how many till do you have and what make. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=70

hi bpzle ... try this is free and good ............ and you can make your own number http://www.google.com/googlevoice/about.html#
