    (QUESTIONS)

    Hi. You are going to find that your ptz runs and operates on its own proprietary software asks you to scan qr codes on setup and install there app to operate usb is also a sign of your camera not being a ptz ….. more like a converted webcam getting it to run on your dvr …… no as incompatible
  5. Ok … do you know how to get the qr code or network s/number from your recorder Don’t post them
  6. Ok I will find you an app can you post a picture of your recorders network settings ……

    Mixing Cat6 & Cat5e Cable. Yes or No?

    You only need pliers…. No special tools Only that you ask a question ….. but disagree with answer 38 years this year in the industry in England .. USA and Spain it’s like your cat6 vs cat5 for cctv ….. no point cat6 your not going to be at any data speed with a single camera to justify it …… yes cat6 or 7 if building a large network … future upgrading…… but not a single iP point to point

    Cameras acting squirly

    Hi. DVRs don’t really need software updates and they don’t effect the cameras anyway as there not updatable the text in middle of screen does not relate to tvi settings….. do you see this on the main screen as well
  11. Hi yes you should be able to use both …. For remote viewing on your smart devices requires you to use a app its finding which app is for your recorder can you post a picture of your dvr menu screen

    Mixing Cat6 & Cat5e Cable. Yes or No?

    Well not a good Option anyway two rj45 plugs crimped with multiple crimps and a coupler all in one location ………. So now your introducing resistance in the cable …. Not good for any networking just thought I would leave a link to the reliable jelly beans that are used in the network industry……. For two reasons … water and moisture and also stop air contact to cat cable ends which is a must or you will be doing it again in 6 months or you could just twist the wires together and cover with chewing gum in none of your posts you don’t like advice ….why do you ask

    Mixing Cat6 & Cat5e Cable. Yes or No?

    Yes you can connect cat5 to 6 ….. but it’s never good to have a join in any cat cable you are best using jelly been push down connectors and also keep the twisted ends as short as you can something like this will keep the connections water proof and then just put them into a plastic junction box the other good reason for jelly bean connectors is it will lock down on cat6 (23) cat5 (24) https://www.amazon.com/Antrader-Waterproof-Orange-Connector-Telephone/dp/B07D3LXHJL/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?crid=2Z5JBFWG4V08D&keywords=jelly+bean+connectors&qid=1644796454&sprefix=jelly+bean+con%2Caps%2C164&sr=8-4

    ADDING CAMS

    Hi you are just doing unneeded work there is only 1 right way to wire a rg45 connection and it is standard around the world if you don’t follow this pin out you will have problems

    Unwanted Reflection

    Thought so by council parking permit in window You could improve your camera image buy swapping out the pinhole as they are useless unless close up …. Plus you have no control over settings on it depending on your recorder spec you will get better images if your dvr could take a hd analog turret camera … but depends on your recorder

    Hi cameras never work properly looking out of glass windows do you have a light outside your property that you have control over ? Are you in the uk
  18. Hi no there is no cable to run …… the power cable going to your coop will also transmit your camera data there is two in a kit ….. one plugs into mains power by your router and a lead goes from the plug into your router the second plug you plug in by your camera and then you plug the lead into your camera and Ethernet on the plug ….. all leads are supplied and it’s all plug and play …… then you don’t have to bother with Wi-Fi
  19. Hi Then yes you have a easy option unlike Wi-Fi extender’s that do have problems with distance and walls in the way the other option is Ethernet over your existing mains power something like this https://www.amazon.com/Powerline-Ethernet-Adapter-Extender-TP-Link/dp/B084CZMYNM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=1DJEGHEI84W60&keywords=tp+link&qid=1644482665&sprefix=tp+link%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-3
  20. Hi do you have power in your coop ? also does your camera have a rj45 port

    Geovision GV-600(S) "Video Lost" all 8 cameras

    Hi you might need to update graphics card driver again for image to show on main screen
  22. Hi first part is right POE switch back to router …… then nvr is connected to router then you can call your cameras up
  23. No ….. it is best if you start with power supplies dvr on its own 2.1 amp then get two new 5amp power supplies run 3 cameras on each
  24. It’s simple …… as you are using power components under spec yes it might work for a while …. But it’s running hot to cope with the demand it’s not rated for
