like soundy and bpzle say you are in a good situation with how they wired your house. you are covered for any camera install . and if your cable runs are not to long. if you have not picked your cameras yet take a look at the CNB-utp range. you can install theses cameras as stated by soundy and bpzle. but if the runs are to long for coax you can still just conect these cameras with just your cat5.

the camera will connect to your q-see http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/WVCS854B.PDF

Hi santosh. if you cant install vga then take a look at this for an idea. i would look at the kvm make. www.minicomdigitalsignage.com

Hi Farmercharlie. if you have used good R59 then i would use one of these. much cheaper than running more cable. http://biwave89.myweb.hinet.net/product/product01.htm

Tomcctv u should stop criticizing HIK 1.HIK record H.264 2.we can get from CIF to D1 (depend on the card) with lot less CPU resources then Avermedia ever 3.HIK has Hybrid solution too 4. You can watch HIK on Iphone, IE I can keep going and tell you How Aver never finish their soft and so on... but I guess I should stop the post above listed 2 types of cards. not every card from hik. so i listed the differance between them.

Well, Avermedia's $480 NV7240 (4?)-8CH card appears to be more expensive, adding 2.5 times the storage cost due to MPEG4 compression, running this software: the recording is the main part of cctv the hikvision only records in cif the avermedia records mjpeg. also the aver is hybrid so yes a little more in price but you get alot more. also remote viewing you dont need software like you do the hik. also mobile viewing. avers can be viewed on anything hik cant.

Interlaced image? Is it common for DVRs to be so limited? Sorry for stupid question, but I'm kinda new to this video surveillance field. 1fps is not acceptible when you are trying to see thief's face, and he shows it for like 2 seconds. I inherited this monster along with the building its just the age of the machine over time they get better and better. but you still get the unbranded companys selling bad fps dvrs. they call them ips to make them look good. always look for dvrs with no less than 12fps on each camera. even avtech have better machines now i am shure scorpion could do you a upgrade. also i have just pm you a play with demo of fps

looking at the geo ip support list. software 8.3.3.0 your camera is not supported. might be worth calling vivotek to see if it will be supported soon.

I have a load of Geovision GV-2008/GV-1480/GV-1120 + I/O +CMS dongles you intrested in a swap? I could use the HIK cards. JD Hi pm me your address and i will send you 1 over for you to look at then you can make me an offer i have 18 of them.

i have a box full of hickvision 16 way cards all new taken from dvrs we installed last year. we had to change all cards and graphic cards from hik as there support was bad and wanted to charge for everything. while under warranty. you can do alot better with geovison or avermedia cards. i dont know if the avermedia sa9000 pro is available in the US but here in the uk and belgium it is. and that is a full hardware comp dvr/nvr with hdmi outputs with 42in and sanyo hd cameras just like watching a good movie.

if it can be done with ip it should also work with standard cameras. this is just the screen view. with the new geovision it has drag and drop. place mouse over camera hold down right mouse button drag camera to new location let mouse go.

or you can buy 10 of these.

soamz there is not alot anyone can do with a budget of $400. you cant buy cctv for that price. you will be able to get 2 of these for that price. http://www.securesight.com/security_cameras_product_video.php?id=44

bpzle. you need to talk with your avermedia supplier. here in the uk and in france/spain/germany/irland. if you buy any avermedia with the words hybrid then you also get a free ip camera. bpzle pm me the price you pay for a eh dvr.

he has beef with everything that is better than hikvision. i stopped using hikvision 2 years ago. used by many dvr makers i would call it the bottom end dvr card.

hi the card is about 5 years old. so i would say you are only going to get cif. . if you are looking at making your recordings better then you need a new card

can you pm me your external ip with passwords (you can change them later)

for over the cashier why not use the avermedia ip camera then you have a good pic with sound around $190

Hi dannyas. no the camera is not good enough. also you would have to buy a lens 50 or 60mm dc and that will cost you more than the camera. if you are in hongkong i dont know if you could get something like this.

just 1 way for all mobotix range. 2 way can only be done with mobotix software.

first try your original power supply at the camera end. and if that does not help then put your new one at the dvr end. you wont cause damage the camera will only pull what it needs. your camera needs 1amp to run but your cable is 300ft so you are getting the amps you need. you will find it easier to get hold of a 3 amp.

for that lenth i would try putting the power supply at the camera end. if you cant do this i would say up your power supply to 12v 1.5 amp.

Hi lous. a pic of the camera and a pic of the cables would be good.

Hi lous. is it pos you could post pictures. as checkpoint dont make cameras. just stick there name on.
