Hi rory. i work for avermedia uk. if you have tried removing internal batt and that never sorted it then a quick firmware flash will sort it. is you system on the net ???

Hi Tom, Yes, I hope to be there. It's local to me so it'll be a shame to miss it. Would be nice to say hello. John. hi john. that is fine. then i can put some work your way. i have a few customrs in london but its a 410 mile round trip for me. you do know about the dvr offer ???

hi all in the uk it is known as the appolo. and it is well over priced. you can only back-up 1 camera at a time. h264 on cif. use d1 and it used to lockup. notice they never showed a demo of mobile (cellphone) working. that was also a problem. i would look at avermedia eb 1304 net or like guys on here have said take a look also at the AVtech. let them carry on selling paintballs . i dont think you will get back-up from ebay sales

Hi jonno. yes i am going along with avermedias uk tech manager. are you going ????

Hi Gordon. i think you are will find the spec on the dvr you posted is the same as most d1. mpeg 4 systems. take a look at the avermedia. you get full uk support. (not that you will need it) it is a very simple system to use. price wise well in your budget which means you can spend more on the cameras. take a look at this system below vga or tv output / sound/ 4 camera inputs/ internet viewer/mobile viewer. 30 days recording at 25fps they is a dealer not far from you in london. and if you would like to see a demo i can let you dial into mine at home. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=151

Hi dmmsta. they is also a licence problem with the eb/and sa dvrs. and this will stop you setting up remote viewing. you can pm me for the way past this problem.

Hi Jay. you need to give the guys here more info. internal/external voltage. do you need a controller. what system are you adding it too. and type of camera you are going to mount on the p/t if it is for external use. i would just buy a budget type ptz

hi rory. yes you are right port 80 or 81 is fine for IE but over smartphone nokia or others will not let you accsess port 80. vodafone usb works the same as smartphones so moving to high ports is best.

Hi Finch. like WRS-MARK i would also take a look at the avermedia. but ask your dealer to show you the new model 1304 mob/net/gsm/gps. i have one as a demo at the moment. but seems very good (only had it testing the last 10 days)

i know of 2 companys that use pc based dvrs/nvrs with auto ptz tracking. avermedia nv cards also have this as standard. the other company is adventura but a bit over price. see demo of 1 working below. http://www.aventuratechnologies.com/livedemo/

MOXA i have used for many years both for ptz and pos

hi. jonno. yes you need to change port forwarding on both the dvr and router. and yes it will work as normal though ie or the viewer software. just one thing on vista make sure you are in run as administrator. right click IE and select run as administrator

Hi rory. i come across this problem alot with customers. like jonno. going from pc to pc or pc to dvr with port 80 is fine. but mobile devices like smartphones or 3g data cards will not connect to anything with port 80 it just shuts ie down. by changing from port 80 on the dvr gets around this problem and going to ports around 5550 is ideal for mobile devices

what part of the US are you in ???

Hi jonno. with using vodafone i take it your in the uk ???? i use the vodafone dongle all the time to show people systems over the internet. but you need to change the port on the dvr from 80 to 5550 to be able to view from mobile devices. but when you look for the dvr in the remote software dont forget to add your port i.e yourip:5550

i would say your power supply 8 way 8 amp is only 1 amp per camera and over 500f that is not enough. you could install seperate power units. the camera you stated ECL-640 Eclipse will run 12v or 24v. i would go for 12v 5amp seperate power supplys

Cool! I didn't know something like that existed for CCTV! Where do you get it? None of my suppliers carry it. Biwave.com no workie either. When I was in broadcast we used similar technology that carried camera power, video, 2-way intercom, spot video, and audio all in one coax. The special triax cable was sure expensive though! Just one kink was enough to get you fired! in the uk it is £30 with power unit.....thats video/sound/power. if you have problems getting the unit i could ship some to a cctv company who is a friend of mine in westvirginia.

why not just keep it simple and use biwave connectors power/video/sound upto 500meters over coax http://www.secure.no/files/Biwave/BI-2100_2200.pdf

so what help do you need ..........has it failed..... or have you leased it from security max ??? or are you looking for another one. in which case look at my first post.....DONT.

Hi. cruelty. your posting from ebay.....PLEASE DONT BUY. but at the end of the day it is your choice. problems. the price .....way way to cheap its from hongkong ..............you will get no back-up and £50 to ship if you are in the uk. you can buy a good 4 way dvr for not much more money and get a uk back-up service.

Hi. thewireguys. i think you solved the problem yourself. with speed bump cameras. people just think they are speed bumps. and people dont attack them demo. http://www.icruvss.com/html/demo.html

Hi. uter. i am in the uk. but i use dvrs from america take a look at the avermedia 16 way hybid it will do everything you ask at 30fps. but like alpine0000 says you dont need to go that high. 6 to 10 fps indoors and 20 to 25 fps outdoors if you need to catch numberplates. uter the best way for you to workout fps is the human eye can see at 13.5 fps so set everything to 15fps. also have a look at cnb cameras (you also have a distributor in america) they do very good ir zoom cameras. if you look on my site you will see a demo of the 16 way avermedia. this system also takes most types of ip cameras so if he is only using 5 he could install ip cameras on other family homes or buisnesses and record them on his system. http://www.cctvengineer.com/page3.html and also here is a link to avermedia usa, call them and ask for a distributor by you http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=27

hi alpine oooo. just seen your post on ufo ..lol. what part of virginia are you from ???

hi babiesnbellies. i use the avermedia eb1304 net at the moment in the same way as you want to us it. 1 camera in baby room 1 camera at front of house 2 cameras at rear of house. the avermedia lets us watch on any pc or tv in the house and watch live images on mobile. http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=18

yes i aggree with WRS_mark. i used to only use western digital (thats what avers recommended) but i had 4 of the sa dvrs go down had to change hd to seagate or hp and that sorted it. now avermedia dont use western hd
