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.

Hi racealoot. what port have you used for the dvr. and do you have a static ip.

out of the ones you have posted. the avermedia 1304 net sata.

Hi touring. just pm you some update links.

the avermedia you have listed is about 2 years old. there is a new one EB1304 net SATA alot better dvr and it has alot more features than the digimerge. the aver is a much bigger spec.

any ip camera you look at will be better than proline. before you start looking at ip ask yourself this. how are you going to record from them/ what do you need them for.

footage of the mobotox with your ir on at night. so a footage of mobotix without your ir and footage of the mobotix with your ir. to see what it is like.

do you have any pictures before and after with your ir sensors

that link is for nvr software and not for dvr cards.

so you are on a 1 port modem ??? with router attached. you still do the same as soundy has stated. also are your dvrs the same make. and what make are they. it might be better for you if your dvrs have cms software.

Hi welshman. with using sky i think you have a netgear router ??? if you portforward 8080 to the local ip of the dvr. then to use away from your home you need the external ip. google myip. and you will see your external ip in red. sky (bt) will charge you for a static ip £5 ayear.

you might be better saying what your budget is.

Hi DK. undo your center core and mesh and test again. this will also show if you have a short.

Hi soamz. your post started off good till i got to the part wireless. these systems are no good at all. install a system that is going to work. you say you are building your villa. install cables for your cctv system. were are you building your villa ???
