i have seen this before. try and turn the power around red to - and black to +

Hi niall. the camera you say you are using pic 2 has a BNC connector. standard. also can i ask why you want to put it into a housing as this is going to give you big problems. you dont put a camera with ir into a housing

Hi niall. if you are talking about cctv cameras. i have never seen that type of connector on a sony cctv camera. but i have seen something like it on a plug and play (small monitor with plug in cameras) they carry the sony name and others. can you post a pic of your camera.

the Ranger FM1 Focus Indicator is very good i have had one for 3 years. it does however have 1 problem. it does focus the camera very well but if you try to use it were they is alot of movment i.e setting cameras in a bussy shop it can not focus if it has movement in its line of site. so you have to go back to the good old monitor.

this is the gent fire detection system which looks the same. but yes soundy i think you are right it looks toa but an old system. birdman next time you go in light a fire under one if it shouts at you its a PA system (what the hell are you doing) if it sound like a siren RUN.

Hi birdman. they are called smoke beams. they come in paires.

Hi rory. will a hikvision card be any good for you ???

Oooo, lots to answer! I have read them all, just love it,thank you to answer you first Birdman Adam I live out side the City, my boundary is over 100 foot long separating me from him, his house is at the other end from mine, his rear access gate opens near my front door, that is where his camera is which looks in to my home, I bought some CCTV this week, but there are problems, can you help please? It is wireless with 4 channels for 4 cameras, ...2 channels go fuzzy when I watch them, can you tell me why please? Sue Hi sue. your problem is your system being wireless it never works. if you can send it back. you will get problems from mobiles/ wireless routers/ bluetooth / baby monitors / electric gates.

scott you need to check the amps not the volts and you can only do this under load.

Hi cview. remove your settings from the game list. you have to creat your own service on the bt home hub. also who is your isp will they give you a static ip.

Hi scott. first thing is it could just be a bad power supply. to check this first thing you need to do is take down one of your faulty cameras and bench test it (with a new power supply) i think if you are running power that far and its only 12v

the DM ec04 has been around for a long time. it was DM first plug and play from the box. you could spend alot of money on your dvr and in the long run you may find it best to replace it. other problems with your dvr if you need to take footage off you either need a cd writer (and the patch lead from DM) also writer has to be compatable. so you are looking for a secondhand one (like looking for bear poo) or you need the good old vcr to do your back-up. i would look at an avertech as a replacement (it will save you money)

if you wish to build a good little system then take a look at the avermedia nv3000 pci card.

Hi jonb. no you dont need a licence for the axis cameras.

the avermedia EXR is a good little unit and as of 30th july it is even better with its new updates. and with you using the two top of the range sanyo cameras it will beat the Nuuo hands down. unlike the nuuo you do not need to buy a licence for your cameras. and unlike nuuo you can now run your sanyos at full res. EXR6004 support IP camera resolution up to 1600x1200(MJPEG) or 1280x1024 (MPEG4) 1. Support IP camera motion detection 2. Support motion recording 3. Support import / export function in the system setup for easy use 4. Support 3 different default playback mode for easy use

Hi sue. i made a call for you today. but they say you need to call yourself to get more info. if the camera is over 8ft and not attached to a building then he needs planning permmision. just call devon planning office and ask them to investigate ....... and it does carry a fine.

why is your only choice is coax ??? if you can use coax why not other cable.

Gotcha. Any recommendations would be good. How about an AVermedia NV3000L? Would one of these work with software of my choice? And be sure to recognise my camera? Thanks Soundy HI sloper. yes the aver is a good card. and its own software will run your camera........... its not your camera that is the problem your camera will work on any dvr or card (except ebay crap)

Hi. your problems are ebay rubbish. start off with crap and you will always have crap.

that is a very old B/w micromark 1 camera cctv. and the fence part is an extra sensor. Maxicam PIR floodlight, hidden CCTV camera in a PIR floodlight, black & white picture, plugs into your aerial system via a suuplied modulator (optional) to view on any connected TV, 120 degree PIR sensor detects movement and switches lights ON for approx, 4 minutes (automatic nighttime only), remotecontrol keyfob temporarily switches floodlight ON to see the camera view at night-time, 300watt lamp, 17mts of cable and key fob. Product Code : MM40012 a cheap lasser pen will sort it out

see the two spotlights you have right infront of the ir. just cover them up at night to see if they are reflecting some ir back into camera.

Hi which dvr do you have ???

jackdf. you are best getting a pro company in to do your install. first off your dvr is just basic/ no ip/ so that need changing first of all (thats the first lot of money wasted) it also sounds like you have never done ip before. but you wont protect your install with that dvr.

Hi rocketpig. the simple way would be to use a sanyo HD. this will give you all the options you need plus full HD on your monitors. the only other part you need is HDMI expander to feed each of your monitors. VCC-HD4000P.

Hi wiggum. can you tell use what size power supply you have volts and amps. also at night can you see the ir glowing on your camera. in your photo it looks like it is not on at all. and also i would run a coax to the camera and use your cat5 for power as it is a short run and this will take away the baluns just in case they are faulty. (remember some cheap baluns are just connectors)
