never ever use companys like dvr on line. 3rd party taking control of your customers security. if you can connect though a service like that then you can get the dvr on line as normal. i see your in america. is your customer going to be happy with a company in korea monitoring his system.

dave i take it your not in the UK.

math4. a license officer is called in before any install in a pub or bar is started. it is them that tells you what they want from the system for the enviroment. (and its done by the licencing officer from your local police station) if you have had a police office come and see your system and he has signed it off (with the picture quality you have come onto the forum with) i will believe that when you post your DPA reg number on here.

it depends on what your images look like. with that power supply included you will not be able to run the cameras far from the dvr. start with the lead kits.......... no point using them. you will need some RG59 with power and upgrade your power supply. but its what quality you are expecting to get from your system. you have to look at the products you have. dvr = £65 cameras £12 each forget how your image looks and try and use functions on your dvr ........... try and burn some footage off .... see if you can play it back on your pc. before you do any cable or power upgrades.

FYI, the IR LEDs can be disabled on one of the camera's configuration pages. I have my IP8332 mounted in a window right now, as a matter of fact, and it works fine. well you could have saved yourself $110 if you had bought another brand name ip without ir. yes you can switch the ir off but then the camera will not going D/N mode. i.e on/auto/off. and yes it will work fine till you get reflextions in the window glass

hi yes that is the Colossus pc based remote viewer. you need the colossus pro. remote viewing software. the one you have there is for hikvision cards. http://www.adata.co.uk/support/ColossusRange.htm

Hi Tom, it's very old! 8ch Colossus it is a netviewer but i find it difficult to operate. I installed some cams a few week ago but they wouldnt prchase a new dvr. they've been broken into this evening. online i cant pause playback and take a snapshot, so i downloaded the viewer software so i can get a few good snaps of the intruders. i understand everything on the software... only thing is i cant figur eout where i add a dvr(enter ip etc) top right you should have a box server. and in the dropdown you should be able to add a server i.e dvr ip password superuser

hi ptzguy. how old is the dvr there is about 4 types of remote viewer for the colossus

you could do what you need with say a sanyo HD 3500 camera which has a android app these guys are on the forum http://totalcontrolapp.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=84#android_demo

Hi JNaps. nice to see everything turned out good.

does your dvr have a plug in power supply or is it built into the dvr. The DVR has an external power supply akin to that of a laptop. then i think it would be better than having power converters and addaptors you update your power supply this type is duel voltage and is 50/60Hz auto switch around £20 and you can use it anywere in the world.

does your dvr have a plug in power supply or is it built into the dvr.

Thansk for the link! Nice clean enclosure and fanless too. Unfortunately, I hate embedded systems because the OS is written/customized specifically for that hardware and is dependent upon the manufacturer for update. Generic system using off the shelf product, I can get better and faster support from the community. I build systems for fun and for family/friends when ask too. Only then, do I spend days researching like I'm doing now for security cameras. I'll call around later today to some shop around me and see if they carry Vivotek camers to see if I can see it in person and try it out before I buy from the local shop. i understand you like to do research. ok your built nvr / ip compatabitlity ??? licence ???. and you will be lucky if you can get a Vivotek ip and be able to take it back .... you have to programme ip ....... it becomes used.

i dont understand what you need to do ...... to do what you have explained why not put the android app on every device you have. (samething) if you have the image on 1 android and you stream it to another .... the other would still need the app to view

Thanks! I didn't know that. Unfortunately, outside mount wasn't a viable option given that I'll be moving out in about 3 months. After the home I was renting got robbed, I'm out. Also, I wanted to get a Mobotix or Axis that had a 180 FOV, but putting that on a one story home....I don't expect a $1400+ camera to be around that long. If I do decide to mount the Vivoktek IP8332 outside at the new home, at least a $400 loss isn't as big of a lost compare to $1400+. the post you have put from were you are buying the camera. i would say go with a distributor. the place you have posted has nothing to do with cctv you will get no support at all. if you have never built a nvr before you can buy for far less than build i.e pc/software/ licence http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=281

the Vivotek IP8332 is going to be a problem for you as it has ir. you will not get any image at night with this camera on a stand looking out of a window (you cant put an ir camera behind glass)

is it a cctv system you want that you can see on your android ??? you only need a camera or dvr that has already got a android app available and your ready to go.

should try getting your fuel from the uk................. works out at just under $14 a gallon a packet of cigarettes (20) is $10 carton $100

does you current dvr have a android app available.

just a friday funny note, looks like people have found away to get passed face recognition. so if you see a guy around your property doing this then he is up to no good. halfway though the film you will hear why he is shacking his head

with the likes of facebook / twitter how long will it be before something like this is added to a dvr. ( i can just see rory reaching for his laptop) Augmented reality helps collect info like email / phone numbers from facebook / twitter pages.

are you a SIA company

with the H/D around $500. you can buy better. to be happy with that dvr it will only run good in cif Recording Resolution and Frame Rate PAL：CIF 200FPS/352×288 Half D1 100FPS/704x288 D1 50FPS/704x576 NTSC:CIF 240FPS/352×240 Half D1 120FPS/704x240 D1 60FPS/704x480 Playback Resolution and Frame Rate 1CH/4CH PAL：CIF 100FPS/352×288 Half D1 50FPS/704x288 D1 25FPS/704x576 NTSC:CIF 120FPS/352×240 Half D1 60FPS/704x240 D1 30FPS/704x480 5.3.7 Record Resolution Choose record resolution of the channel selected, and must choose the same resolution for all channels 1) CIF(352 x 240, or 352 x 288) 2) Half D1(704 x 240, or 704 x 288) 3) D1(704 x 480, or 704 x 576) Please note 4CIF=2 Half D1=D1, so that “Record Frame Rate” would be reduced automatically even you set up as “Full” for D1 and Half D1.

google chrome or firefox does not allow you to use active x so he need to run it in i.e. ActiveX is only supported by Internet Explorer (and browsers built on top of Internet Explorer) on Windows. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and others do not support ActiveX
