Hi that’s cheap for a reason ....... app only shows 1 camera at a time and app has problems

Hi. Yes your homework is right 4 in 1 allows standard analog and analog HD digital which is cvi tvi ahd. But look for a unit of 5mp

Hi. What you need to look for is a 4 in 1 dvr and pic a 5mp unit ..... this will allow you to use your existing cameras and also allows you option to go better cameras when you should start to replace yours you have a 4 way now but I would recommend going 8way ...... not much difference in price where are you located

Hi. Your cameras are not compatible with your 4K recorder .... the give away is you can connect your camera direct to tv which makes it analog only.... also known as a CVBS camera. you might find under camera settings on your dvr a CVBS setting for backward compatibility but most companies don’t use it anymore. But check CVBS is a standard analog format...4K systems run analog HD digital these formats are AHD - TVI or CVI ... these format allow you to use resolution cameras from 2mp - upto 8mp (4K)

Hi. Dvr power is ok because you mentioned beeping (alarm) but you still haven’t tested camera power supply how are cameras connected to dvr is it coax or cat5 cable with BNC connectors

Hi. Sounds like your having a bad time of it and car damage other tenants and housing association complaints can take months or years to sort but the harassment never ends life is to short to deal with crap .... why not think about moving instead life could only get better This is easier to sort rather then getting wrong information Ask a lawyer to Wright a letter to your housing association about the use of cctv you will get the right answer then

Hi looking at compatibility spec Samsung is not supported how many Samsung do you have

Good idea ..... something else to restrict the lighting to camera sensor .... resulting in no image. Why don’t you put some nice plants along the bed as well

So $55 it total ...... and has no night time capability and auto switch off at 3hrs oh maker is HNsat and are on amazon for $10 so for your $55 ..... you could of bought one uc-20 ...and two Walmart full dashcams as listed and a coffee from Starbucks walmart like I said many posts back has night mode........ it won’t switch off after 3hrs also don’t think of putting the uc-20 looking out of your window as it can’t handle light through glass watch guy in video we’re he is standing with windows behind him...... even when he opens the blinds you can’t see out of window.......... it’s called white out which you get with cheap cameras

I’m not on about the BlackVue ..... the link was Walmart $19 dashcam so you have ordered your camera equipment to build from eBay..... post what your ordered why don’t you just look at a webcam .... that’s usb and comes with software

You just don’t have a clue

Ok put it another way .....you buy the camera plug it in to usb ... how does your usb know what to do ....... is your graphics card good enough also cpu will use up a lot with that camera being mpeg which are massive files how will footage get to your hard drive without direction (direction being software) 1000s of engineers on this forum not one uses a lux meter there not used in cctv buy are in the photograph industry anyway good luck in your build as crap as it is you have a link to a $19 dash cam and a link to how much information they collect as you can see in the linked video..... good face image full colour for clothes .... make model colour and licence plate of there car and audio your not going to build anything that can do better ..... because you don’t understand

I think your here just to wind people up again that’s camera only ...... and you seem to only read parts of what you need the spec you have left ..... keep reading spec and try and understand what it says in BIG RED LETTERS Warning: UC20MPE camera is not recommended for capturing moving objects in low light condition, but only still objects. Now back to your build without software you will not get any footage on a laptop at all software is needed to decode video input it’s also needed to display time and date over image ... without date and time alone makes your home build useless (footage can’t be used)

Hi. IDMSS LITE is now unsupported by dahua and you need to upgrade to DMSS plus also are you using your cell network

Or you could just keep it simple ..... it does not mount on your window screen ..... you want it to cover bed so it’s on your back screen you could always put some sort of sticker in your window covering the camera and just cut a hole in sticker for lens ..... thats the simple way

Sorry it’s just clicked with me with what your trying to do. second battery to run a camera that you will then feed to your laptop which will have the right software to decode camera image onto hard drive for recordings this is called a self build .....there is another name for it and I’m trying to remember it’s called I think a dash cam now some of your pinhole camera links are cameras that only have 480tvl you have no chance getting good face images and it does not matter how good your police are facial recognition is not going to work on 480tv line cameras .... it can’t make a bad image good low light pinhole camera Also don’t work.... low light cameras require some sort of light into the lens ..... bigger the lens the better ..... pinhole don’t .... so don’t believe everything you read on amazon or eBay also some of your links are expensive crap the link from Spain was the worst junk here is another idea for you as you can use a dashcam in truck back window to watch your bed or if you want to still build your own buying crap from amazon why not buy a dashcam and take it apart then build your own you will have the camera the software the SD card pointless I know but that’s the way the post is going it does not matter if cam can be seen they will still steal from your truck bed if it valuable.... I have 100s of hours from my systems ...... shop hold ups .... gas station robbery.... night club shooting ..... little old lady shoplifting....... none covered there face Theft is all there interested in quick money on what they steal either buy one to use or strip down to make your own ...... but from all your links this is much better and only $19 with SD card https://www.walmart.com/ip/720p-Dashboard-Camera-with-Bonus-4-Gg-SD-Card/414664981

ok let’s do it your way ..... and I’ll point out the problems once you have your pinhole camera and you find a cheap usb converter how are you going to get dvr software to see the camera then either a second hard drive to hold footage or partition existing hard drive also remember 12v camera also power for usb converter and 12volt for IR unit so need a separate battery or jumpstart your truck to get home every time you Finnish work blackvue is SD card run .... Wi-Fi is optional also rear camera is only size of your thumb other camera you have listed is a low light camera...... this means it stays colour and can’t be used with IR but they do need a little light to operate so if truck is parked in a bad lit area you will not get a image but if not wanting to use a dashcam then I would start at looking at software first for your laptop then figure out if your going analog or IP option then look for camera to suit it

Look at it with police eyes ..... you choose to leave valuables in truck bed unsecured in location open to public and expect no theft first police will ask you why and why you did not secure anything......... it’s your own fault. And for you to continue to do it only makes you a police problem as in wasting resources Its not just you and your truck..... anyone who leaves valuables on show in a car or truck parked up will at some stage return to nothing As far as camera you can’t build anything better than a dash cam .... jeep pickup truck in this video shows you just what you need

Ok so your not talking cctv Since IR controls the camera ...... how is camera going to get command to insert filter without filter or IR lens IR in your bed is useless To much CIS. Cheap usb camera black and white with I glare for facial recognition Again police will not waste time on it. So now your judge and jury ... why not go for death penalty.... save the state 3 meals a day better still don’t leave valuables in truck bed unsecured You also need to know laws ...... edited video is not always used in court. It’s usually edited in your favour this is why native files are used ... unedited only 5 minutes is pointless what if someone removes something from your bed and then returns it 10mins later that will not show if edited... so must be native file of all that night

Then you want the police to spend man hours looking through footage .... then you want them to spend days identifying them if they ever will. Well your not going to stop it..... someone always wants what you have there called thieves If your talking IR then it depends on type of camera used ........ it will need a ir filter or mechanical switch over. And remember night images will be black and white so pointless for the police on colour of cloths plus the area your talking about IR will wash out any face image you have. using your own laptop.... analog or IP camera .... you can’t connect analog direct to a laptop two dashcams will do what you want at half the price

Hi. a camera is still not going to stop anyone removing things from your bed bed toolbox or bed slide lid will stop items from being removed but if you want to install a camera a laptop and camera plus ir is expensive option look at the BlackVue system 700 or 900 units 2 cam kit monitor your truck 24/7 with motion detection....... get realtime video to your phone if bed of truck is entered full audio listen and talk yes it’s a bit of money to spend but your also getting one of the best dashcams on the market... view from anywhere in the world built in tracker and speed log both front and rear cameras

Hi the only way your not seeing the settings is you are using a user password which will not allow you into camera network settingsonly administrator password allow this

Hi. Anything on a network needs to be recognised.... this is done with each item having its own IP address (local) . so each of your cameras will be called to the nvr with IP cam 1 = 192.168.1.10 cam 2 192.168.1.11 last number changing upto cam 16 above is just an example of IP address you will need to go into the recorder then camera edit to see the correct IP address used recorder gets its camera feed from either Poe switch or from router that switch and recorder are connected too. All the above can be ruled out if changing recorder and removing the switch ....as recorders are now POE This is not as easy as you think 8 to 10 year old cameras 1 to 1.3 mp don’t have ONVIF path or old onvif path that can’t update to current ONVIF I WOULD look at a TVT nvr (no need for onvif) ....... set it up h264 ........ the tvt can be set h264 or h265 on each channel so it allows you to upgrade cameras over time

Hi Brad. I think you know what your outcome is going to be...... and it’s because the age of the system LTS just place stickers on other brands .... you have the old TVT recorder unfortunately no longer supported also 500gb is only a few days recording .... if it’s staying a restaurant it’s best with a lot more days is the 16 way Poe at recorder location or placed somewhere else

Well your phone tech guy must be right.... must of been trained while working at McDonald’s old telecom untwisted is analog signal only distance you need requires network digital so must be cat5 well you have 5 posts repeating same question and the answers are the same For $30 they solve your problem
