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

Hi todd. they is 4 models of the aver mob. 1, mob1304 net wifi 2, mob1304 net (standard and 2 years old) 3, mob1304 net gsm with usb 3g dongle (the dongle is avermedias own and will not run on anything else and on t mobile pay as you go sims. 4, mob1304 net gps i will check for you with t mobile here if the data only sim can be used in america. here the sim costs your price $5 and runs at $10 per month unlimited data.

Hi todd. just seen your post on avermedia................. is this what you want the 3g for. ??? they is a brand new aver mobile comming out which has 3g on it. i can send you the details. the new mobile dvr has 3g......google mapping.... and wirerless lan.

Hi adnanali. you should get a pic with that wiring. what type of camera do you have. ???

hi. dmmsta. you need to change the port on the dvr from 80 to 5550. then look for the dvr on ie as http://yourip:5550 and another reason for changing the port is nokia phones or smartphones will not work on port 80.

HI todd. t mobile over unlimited. they do in the uk anyway. and i know they have services in america.

Hi alan. yes the play back is very simple for customers. search motion or by time is onlt 3 buttons on remote. and the system is a very good price.

you can send pics to my website and i can repost them on here for you.

Hi. 3rdiglbl. if you would like to log in to one of mine its the 16 way avermedia with 8 standard and 8 ip axis cameras. then send me an email. no you dont need a licence for any avermedia. the only problem i have had with avers is dont put anymore that 2x 5mp on the same unit but other thant that they are a good machine. dont use the 8way hybrid it does not have as many functions as the 16-32

hi. wghoffma. it sounds like you are having a problem with your power to the dvr.the message you have said only comes up with power loss. try a differant socket or you might need to add a spike plug. but your dvr is still recording ???

Hi. blowrabbit. try and change the port on your camera try up in the 5000 i.e 5550 you isp might have blocked your existing port

yes sorry i ment to say apollopro. the apollo has been around to long not only very budget but hard for customers to use. and it can only back-up 2 cameras at a time. i know i am going to get guys from america saying i am wrong. but the usa apollo is nothing like the uk apollo
