from your link posted you are in the uk. like soundy said it is illegal to record sound in the uk if you are not licenced to do so. and you also need a licence to hide covert in a public space area. and with you asking on how to wire up a microphone and your friend also not knowing how tends to surgest that you have not done this before and so not licenced. your not doing it for money your lending your mic. you have lost nothing from the job so just walk away. and about signage. you say it might warn the offenders off. is that not what you want as an end result

Hi you could try a guy on here called Bean00 pm him memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17001 and as far as the SDK rory have been working on the dahua

have you opend all the ports for the dvr on your router. what i would say is dont keep your system to long if it has problems. you can buy two ways from maplins .... new or B grade. which did you buy.

dirk if i was you i would just keep on considering and then buy something else.

Hi what ever you do you will still need the viewing software. you need to get a clean copy of DxClient software. remember with that dvr you would also need to give a copy of your footage along with a copy of DxClient software for anyone to watch your footage. that dvr does not export a player.

how many cameras are you looking at each location. you could just have all the same dvrs and a good CMS software.

There's probably not much that could be said at this point if you are the original installer and ran the cable. The burden and expense is on you to correct the problem in accordance to local code. If you didn't run these cables you need to tell the customer to contact who did and have them correct the problem. The issue is you are now liable if you ran the cables or try to modify what someone else did. Either way, you need to work with the elevator company and eat that expense of them ringing out a pair for you. Probably no justifiable way to pass this cost to the customer as this should have been charged up front in the proposal. Obviously there are ways to get around the problem in a less than professional manor. I'll leave that up to someone else to answer. Tailbone, I don't really understand why should we bear the expense since we did not provide any warranty on cabling works in our proposal earlier. I mean most local installers do not offer warranty on cabling. And the cabling has been done and it's been working since 6 months ago. Do you offer warranty in your area? is the warranty not on what you install . system / cables / monitors. cat5 has a work life longer than 6 months. so its not the cable its the way it has been installed ..... so its an installers problem.

it sounds good on paper. but i think it would be a bad thing to do. companies dont just install cctv they have the other side .... service and repair which is also an income. engineers go though college or have spent money on trainning to get were they are. to give all that info away for nothing would not be right. its the same with giving out to much info on how to reset a system or how to reset a password. this info should never be given on on a open forum. giving out info about power units .... well it sounds simple but how do you know the person is capable of doing the job. doing any sort of electrical work has to come with a bit of electrical knowledge.

are you using the pos box on a avermedia dvr ???

for the cost of that camera i would rarther just go on holiday. spot the problem .............. PTZ but the IR is fixed. its one of those bad ideas like a snooze button on a smoke detector.

yes your budget does keep comming up and you have got it down to £991. not bad you have saved yourself £9. dont pat yourself on the back too quick. now you need to record it all. looking at the cameras that you intend to use. will not protect a warehouse and 3 you have listed as PTZ (no there not) and going ip you need to keep the network all together for your system dont link in and out of your existing infrastructure. with £1000 i would just install a 4 camera system and stay away from your ip ..... it will do more and protect more than the system you have listed.

hi noooodlez. like has been posted £1000 budget for a 12 camera system cant happen. even if you go and buy secondhand your budget is still to low. and the cameras you have posted .... they are just for home indoor use. pointless for a warehouse. what is your max budget and what value are you ptotecting. i take it you want your system to work if anything happends.

hi martin. yes your camera will link to that unit. but you will have problems with your wireless as it 2.4ghz and you will have all sorts of problems baby monitors / wifi / blue tooth / next doors remote door bell will all knock out your video. so i would just link your camera upto the unit direct.

something like this might help you. This neat, compact recording box has full digital video recording functionality but, instead of recording to a hard disk, it records video footage to SD card. Time and date stamping, motion detection recording (sensitivity adjustable), scheduled recording, real time recording speed (adjustable between 1-30fps), 640x480 VGA resolution recording, recording overwrite option, takes up to 16G SD card and if purchased with our 12v rechargeable battery pack it is a truly portable and covert CCTV recording option (supplied as standard with 12v mains power adaptor). It's a one channel recorder and will even give you an estimation of recording time left on your SD card. You can connect to your TV for playback or simply remove the SD card and playback on your PC or laptop by using an SD card reader.

If you thought aposonic's DVRs are cheap and crappy, then 95% of DVRs from other vendors in USA is even cheaper. It's just pricing strategy. Don't think the higher the price, the greater the quality in security market. You just don't know what you don't know. However, in Chris's case, I had recommended him over phone not to purchase the $500 system which was for low-budget users. Well, update for you guys that many 16-ch systems are less than $600 now, you may try Regards, Nelson APOSONIC CCTV http://www.aposoniccctv.com sorry nelson but i think your 95% is to high. $600 is way to low for even a budget 16 way dvr. and can i point out they is no such thing as a budget user. its not the user he is your customer its the dvr that is budget. many installers know what the lowest price should be before they start buying bad quality and also you have two types of what i call budget. unbranded budget system = no support and very limited. branded budget systems = support / updatable you are right systems are becomming cheaper. but if someone asked me for a good dvr i have in my mind what has the good quality/fps/ and the support. and then price. what is just about to come into force in the uk is the lowest limit a cctv system can be used. (and its about time)

hi just to give you some idea on zoom on a IP camera this is a good site you can play with, ok avigilon are a bit on the high price side. http://www.avigilon.com/products/samplefootage/ but even the budget ip cameras will give you better zoom than standard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Zrl6lTiYZA&feature=related

yes is for off

hi Numb-nuts terminating sould not be a problem as you are just using 1 ptz. as far as fitting why not set it up on the floor first and get everything working. using coax and cat5 is not a problem just use 1 pair for your ptz data and the rest split for + and - on the power.

nsm. its not my problem i dont use them. do you have this dvr working on that APP .... no .... does that App support that dvr ....... you dont know. the people that do know are CNM hence posting the link. and the way you are asking the op to log on is the same as using IE and like Beam00 has said this will be active x which is not supported on the iphone. you might get it to work though the java port (mobile) this will have to be turned on on the iphone. but it will only give you refresh not live view.

for what the cost of a scart addaptor costs you would be best just buying one.

CNM always gets me fustrated. the back-up service is bad. many people buy CNM as a budget home dvr from the likes of maplins who is another company that will not give support. CNM are on this forum but they will not respond to problems. they have posted a email address to service support. but be aware that the phone number they send has a charge of £45 ($80) for phone support. at the end of the day you just want to know if CNM has a iphone app. and how to set it up. i dont see why they can not just post the info pm them memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=17298

this has happend twice to you. why continue. buy something you have control over. Hercules /Titan / bigbratt are others that also need a licence its not the cards its the software the bigbratt is a hikvision but still needs a licence to run on that system. you will find that on your vista you have auto update switched on ............ never have it switched on when using it as a dvr. you will find some of your drivers have been updated and the licence with the software has seen a change.

no its not a bug. like i posted to you earlier you have a problem with the licence. all you need to do is buy a new one. they still are a few companys that make pc based dvrs that need a licence (by the year) to get around this just swop your card and software to something else.

Numb-nuts. are you getting paid to advertise all these people ???? the apollo is a bad dvr hence the price.

if you are talking about a camera for in the sticks were there is no power at all then you are going to have another problem i.e lighting. what is it you will be protecting with the camera.
