  1. based on your serial No D600-YP92-661614 i have sent you the master code reset for both types of software. try the first one first if your dvr is around 2005-6.
  2. are you LGC Forensics in Middlesex ??? why can the passwork not be got from the owners of the dvr.someone must of seen the footage on the dvr. ??? you can take the drive out and put it into a caddy and see what files you have. there are 2 types of GE PRO 11 2005 and 2008 both run differant software. so you need to know which before you even try to flash it.
  3. i have not seen anything that can transmit 4 camera feeds down 1 coax cable. but i have used the biwave VDS2500 box that will transmit 2 cameras plus power and 2 alarm signals down 1 coax cable. might be better for you to run two coax cables at least if 1 fails you will still have two cameras working.

    CCTV urgent plz.

    it would cost you lots of money. will gps even work there ???? why not make money out of your problem and rent your house out.
  5. 720x480 NTSC or 720x576 PAL = D1 resolution i also say D1 is 720x480 NTSC / 720x576. i call it true D1. but 1000s of dvr manufactures also say 704x480 NTSC / 704x576 is also D1 but i know it as 4cif. this is why we see so many images of D1 dvrs with what people call interlacing artifacts on moving objects. its a 4cif. 4cif in its own right is good but needs another component to function each pixel must have data. data known as bits (bitrate).While a 4CIF image can produce a better quality image then a CIF image because the more pixels used to represent an image, the closer the result can resemble the original; it does not necessarily have to be the case. 4CIF does not mention the amount or quality of the data to be displayed in the pixels. These are “empty” pixels. Pixels need to be filled with data. Data is referred to in terms of bits. Accordingly, a CIF image filled with more bits then a 4CIF image can produce better visual results.
  6. this is a very good product. but please remember the product does not have a camera. it is upto you what camera you put into the housing. but the unit is pre wired for both standard and ip applications. but for the cost of a fence alarm or beam sensors which will not be active untill set on lock up. the furure sentry is protecting 24hrs a day. the system works on wireless sensors (15 for each camera) this is much more cost effective than beams or fence alarms. http://futuresentry.com/markets/industrial http://www.cctvengineer.com/Installation%20Manual.pdf

    Hi Birdman Adam. standard lens calculations are for field of view. standard lens. the REG-X and the rest have a Black lens it cant see field of view its there to look for reflections from its IR reflecting back. if you stand infront of the camera it will not see you at all but it will pick-up reflection from your watch or belt buckle.

    Birdman Adam. that is what i have been saying all along use standard cameras and not the bosh REG-x also see how far scrits car is away from the camera the REG-x can not get a plate from that distance. also if you use your settings as For D1 resolution, we have 720x480 = 345,600 total pixels 345,600*18% or 0.18 = 62,208 pixels you will also have a bad image they need to record in cif. remember a cif image with a very high bitrate give good detail images

    Your 18% calculation is more complex than it needs to be. If your image is 720x??? then make sure the license plate is at least 720*.18 = 130 pixels wide. For US license plates, if you can see past *both* sides of the car then the plate is too small. This is the smallest I would have the plates and still expect to read them... Too small: More thoughts: lens calculation can not be used on the bosh REG cameras its a black image camera it only sees ir. dont mix standard cameras settings with a bosh REG camera this is daytime image

    this is were i am getting lost . so the camera is on the side of the road so in meters the car is 2m from camera to plate and the camera is from kerb to centre of road say another 2m and the camera is mounted 2m high. with the bosh american calculator the REG-X can not see as close as 2m so entre 3m then distance from kerb to centre of road 2m and the camera is mounted 2m high. bosh calculator tells you that you are out of the 7m range and install for the REG-X and to use a REG-L1 http://products.boschsecurity.co.uk/en/GB/products/bxp/SKUF.01U.080.125-CATM4ee759c007a61cbce559f31fd53d9314
  12.

    customer has signed up just in early December and yes he was charged an extra 50 euro to get a static ip.. im gonna reset both router and dvr back to default settings and start from freash now that i have a clearer idea of what to do.. i had a feeling that i was on right track originally Dont do a hard reset on the router. they are factory for eircom you may loose isp settings from eircom and that will be another 50euros just change your settings. are you on cable or phone line ???

    we seam to be talking about differant cameras here i thought the first post was for a REG-X which can not give you a number plate at 18% the REG-X is for close work only 5-7m max giving you 120% as seen on the bosh site. we dont get are cameras from bosh are cameras come from our CNB distributor. if you are looking for a camera for 18% then it would need to be REG-L1 to reach 35m but the price for that will be $2000 plus and for a camera that ONLY gives a number plate and not colour or make of car is a waste of money if not used how it was intended. For $2000 you could use 4 of the CNB cameras http://www.videcon.co.uk/product_details.php?StockID=1203&l1=3&l2=23 and have money left over that will do just the same but give you also what cctv is all about video evidence with as much detail as possable

    subnet 225.225.225.0 is this right. also if you are using a eircom supplied router i would change that also. i take it you are in ireland with using eircom ??? has your customer only just signed up with eircom or have they been with them for sometime. a static ip for 50euro $100 is stupid money. for a company that give you something a little faster than dial-up as all routers are factory set for eircom no set-up needed you may find parts of it are locked. you will get passed this buy replaceing the router

    Recording Period and Backup

    like soundy says it depends on your location country. here in the uk it is 30 days and then overwrite. but on every install we would also tell the customer that any incident should be burned off and then stored on disk this will save any problems later.

    USB Backup error

    could just be the type of usb stick you are using . Your flash drive may not be supported in our DVR. For detailed information, please check the compatible list in your DVR user's manual and see if the brand name of your flash drive is included.Our DVRs only recognize FAT32 format. So, please format your USB flash drive as FAT32.

    automated license plate recognition is not the same as ALPR which in true terms means AUTOMATIC LICENCE PLATE RECOGNITION also known as anpr. the cameras dont see numbers its a very powerful algorithm set to read plates from upto a mile away and at speeds of over 100mph and your looking at $15.000 each. information from a ANPR camera licence number colour and make owners details tag check outstanding fines insured or not persons wanted.
  19. Thanks for the reply. I don't understand why I would need to leave an analog slot open on the Avermedia card if I am using the Vivotek server software to record the IP camera. Can you please shed some light on this? Thanks. the avers will run your ip camera its a hybrid card so 3 standard cameras and 1 ip you could use the nv3000 you dont need the vivotex software. list of ip cameras ... not on list can be added in 24hrs http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Upload/FAQ/NV_NX_NXU_SA_XR_IWH%20IP%20Camera%20Support%20List_V5.0.0.77_1224.pdf

    LPR and ALPR (anpr) are not the same cameras miles apart from the way they function. bosh use the term ALPR only for the software that there LPR cameras work with (data base for opening gates)
  21. yes you can but you would need an 8 way system ...... or a 4 way only using 3 standard cameras and 1 ip. if you are looking at 5 cameras i would look at the nv5000 card with an extenion.
  22. what make of dvr are you using ??
  23. you still need to focus the camera as normal. page 7 is what the connections are for http://www.norbain.co.uk/downloads/manuals/Standard_protos_multi_lingual.pdf
  24. Yeah Thats what I mentioned in my previous post. Though I havent used it and was wondering how well it works if there is alot of motion in the video? Do you guys use it outside as well? Its not a bad price, can even pick it up right in the US and for alot less than the Camera Master. motion does give problems but just hit the reset button and start again. yes we use it ouitside for short and long range. how much have you found it for. here its just under $500. £265
