    Night time drop out?

    Hi. Yes sounds like you are right problem with kits is the power supply is too small ( if you look at your psu) it is likely to be a 2amp Also with using pigtails you only need 1 camera to have a fault and it affects the rest best type of power supply to use is separate channel power supply there not expensive

    Hikvision and Crestron

    Hi ... depends on your location and how it’s connected to monitoring Crestron can either take as alarm activation and send alert to customer ( done via alarm inputs on back of nvr ) or Crestron monitoring settings in nvrs email alert setting direct to monitoring for real-time video ..... not all monitoring will take new hik connections on connection to customers tv is easy as it’s from hdmi to Crestron av distribution alread in the home ...... but you only have commands like show cctv ..... will only show all cameras on one screen and no control if you want more camera control then all cameras need to go to a switch first and then nvr So you need to look at a nvr with alarm inputs and outputs
  11. Hi to help you more I think you have the cortex system
  12. Hi can you list the app you use on tablet or mobile Active x has already done its job as it’s for remote software on your pc and adding a dvr has nothing to do with active x also can you post a link or picture of your unit

    Help with a system

    Sorry you can’t compare Ajax to avigilon infact Ajax is limited ...... stream of snap shots and not video cant playback something you want to see .... only alerts are playback the adverts are good but don’t tell you everything quote from advert ...... can detect water leak and switch your water off ....... add does not say about extra costs for Wi-Fi enabled water valve which are not cheap ...... I haven’t had a leak in 20 years also DVRs nvrs with alarm inputs can also do the same and have done for years
  14. Hi. A few things for you to try make sure your news recorder sub stream is not set to highest also your new recorder data could be set to h265 try using h264 ...... this depends on how old your app is ..... check if there is a update also when you added the new recorder to your pc software did you have administrator active ..... right click on app and select run as administrator
  15. Again old information.... lorex OEM was 2019 not owned by dahua at that time .. it is now post your link again from your first post as it does not work now
  16. Hi. You need to switch network off on your pc first so you have just your computer and camera connected ... start menu- type CMD then type ipconfig .... see if it brings up your cameras ip
  17. It’s not just hikvision and dahua amazon are under fire for watching 1000s of peoples ring door bell..... police are now asking for access to door bell cameras there is an easy way that could inform customers of any intrusive access to there systems because of easy P2P setup and that’s for ISP to give there customers the location of inbound ip address...... but that’s not going to happen P2P setup is the problem .... no one knows we’re there device is connecting too or what information is being collected even IPVM report is a bit inaccurate (quote) people in USA would go mad if dahua was using this tech in the USA....... yet no mention of lorex now 100% owned by dahua same software we haven’t used hikvision for past 8 years ... as we noticed on recorder logs 100s of IP address on one customers unit I have never had a system hacked but the way IOT is going no one will know at the moment for past few months I have been trying out a new ip filter box you fit it inline with recorder and you enter IP address and MAC address into the filter ... cell phone - tablet - laptop all device you want to access recorder..... and blocks everything else
  18. Ok can you remove it from router and connect direct to laptop or pc
  19. Hi which local IP address does your camera show on your router and port
  20. Hi. These cameras can only be reset via local ip or analog setup or ground pin are cameras connected to recorder or via cam software

    Dahua audio output

    How loud are you looking to run the speaker what is it going to be used for
  22. Ok. You mentioned in your first post ... system is for a shop. it’s too old to use in a commercial install Even footage taken from the unit is not suitable for law or court use dvr spec is only cif record and only 720tvl also you will not get this to run on your windows 10 also the pc software your using is not for the old DV recorders DVRs are cheap and up to date also backward compatible with your existing cameras for store use you want it to work

    Help with a system

    Yes I could but the problem is there cameras are made in China you are looking in the wrong direction..... it does not matter we’re the equipment is made it is which company is honest on data collection some systems like cheap smart systems from eBay or amazon are cheap in purchase like this example ptz camera from amazon ..... to your door $30 it can’t be made for $30 but it is and it’s shipped from China to US then out from distributors to customers do the math ....ptz camera. shipping costs. distribution cost and mail cost to customer all for $30 how do they make up there money, data collection....... first the camera auto sets up .... makes its own path in your router and connects to a China server (camera will not work without this) also known as P2P they collect emails .. contact details cookies ....most personal data on your home devices then the camera is collecting face snap shots of everyone and collecting that data known as association data.. if you haven’t been in the industry or bought cctv before ... recommended systems is the best way to go buy a system you have control over and it’s yours or a system that’s an information collection that you have paid for but has no control but if you are stuck on system names then the best in the industry is Avigilon .. Canada based
