Hi. Untick all channels and also binding also what is live view like ? Is your pc talking with recorder

Hi. You might find your using the wrong hard drive ..... some older dvrs are restricted to a certain hard drive to use try using a old WD drive around 1 or 2tb

Hi Jim not a bad budget .... also reason for location.... forum is worldwide... no point giving you links until country was known but you budget is in £ so I guess UK one of the best systems on the market is TVT which is available in the uk and also has the best remote app of any other cctv company your budget should get you a 8way nvr and 4 cameras giving you more to expand

Hi. It’s hard to give any recommendations without a budget or a location it might be better you posting links of systems your looking at

Hi. Jim i would look at a IP system ... much easier to get cables around your house and no need for extra power POE nvr systems also carry power over the same cable what is your budget

Hi. This sounds like the type of system once setup you also need to put a camp bed next to it to monitor it 24/7 are you using all cameras on 4K .... and what brand are they are you using H264 or H265 data ... conversation of these on your pc will eat cpu also your using drive partitioning... not good on a system of this size how are you viewing monitors were are you located steve

Hi. No it is not possible 12v onto 24v supply some cameras are duel voltage ... but if it does not state in the spec then it just 12v

Hi. It depends on age of the system and type lilin have been around for years ..good equipment

Hi. Avermedia closed there cctv side 6 years ago low resolution poor app and constant windows updates made it unreliable and your going to find the same with any pci card based system analog 740-960h cameras are also old but will still run on systems 740tvl upto 8k you can still connect to a stand-alone via your windows 10 is this for home or business

Hi. Michael i would not waste your time on the out of date aver equipment how many ip cameras and analog are you using why are you only looking at pc based

Hi. I would keep it simple and cheaper yes analog splitters are available but it just seems a waster of money your only talking 15m ......so why not run your 4 cameras to your working (recording) dvr and just use a vga splitter to run two monitors .... then don’t use the dvr that does not record

Hi how are you running cables to each camera .... is this a home or business can you terminate power at an other location then left with just coax it also depends on what coax system your using... you can run 4 cameras down 1 coax another option is use cat5 which will take your cable count down as you can send more than 1 camera feed on cat5. ..... 4 cat5 instead of 16 coax

Nice to hear your up and running ......it will take you a few months to get to know your system inside out and become a hobby. audio - I would keep your microphones on at important areas like your main front door and driveway area..... it is just as important as a camera in these locations recording audio state laws (public space) what state laws don’t explain properly is microphone use. they only explain public space like shop/stores gas station place of work and public streets and areas recording people’s own private conversations is illegal private domestic home. ( your own property) as people are entering a private property they have no protection of privacy in both video and audio people can also have verbal abuse on there own property so front door and car space audio is just as important cctv is a second set of eyes and ears nice to see you got all sorted in a short time

Hi. Support can be hit and miss on any product .... most of the time there reading from a manual and have never been hands on with there own product.... all depends on how good the service operator is ..... 3 weeks before he or she could of been working at McDonald’s software you need I will pm you and instructions

Hi. Which cameras are you using ? why only on 720

Hi. Not a problem let use know how you get on

Hi check your pm box

Do you have any device with jp Morgan on it

Ok if you scroll down to downloads and click on USA you wil see the firmware you should be running ..... it was a mayor firmware update in March for performance

Hi it is dns you don’t want to enter even delete it. ok we will try another way .... I will send you a new app that works 100% better than xmeye once loaded click on little yellow tv bottom left of screen ... then click the + sign top right Call it home then scan qr code on recorder screen (guide) in menu then admin and password of recorder see if that helps

Can you check your pm does yours look like that ...... also how long have you had it

Ok. We’re are you located ....DS-7208HUHI-K1 and the firmware and build date don’t match were did you buy from

Hi. Under main stream and sub stream you have two data formats in your pictures set H265 in your sub stream that will quicken it up a little but your recorder has a lot of limits .... how many cameras do you have and analog or ip and what MP are they. You should be ok viewing 1 camera at a time the other issue could also be hik-connect server traffic .... try using hiks other app ezviz

Hi. Yes your right nvr is best for a home. If using a pc it’s best having it dedicated to cctv and depending on cameras used you might not be able to use all there functions check pm .... much better than hik and one of the best device apps on the market and it runs most camera if it’s for home use buy it in stages you also learn a lot

Hi. This depends on your budget. mans if for home use or commercial your right about hikvision they are outdated and limited also not worth the money .... cameras are ok but not there recorders we’re are you located and I will send you a list of good suppliers to look at in your area
