CCTV Help Required Please
tomcctv replied to Trutemp's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. There are two types of 4K in cctv licence and unlicensed...... unlicensed is not true 4K and is common.......Swann is low budget and sold everywhere in the uk .... pc world are one seller and if you go and look at there 4K you will see how poor it is .....FPS are down to 5 FPS (frames per second)and it does struggle also it’s not backward compatable. Dahua and hikvision may also be a mistake in the uk and end up you might be wasting money ...new report comes out July £1000 is a good budget so with that budget I would stay away from eBay and Amazon qvis is a uk company with uk based p2p and uk cloud which is important China based p2p and cloud is not good -
Help! Samsung DVR date and time moving FORWARD -- weird, right?
tomcctv replied to Kawaii81's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi sounds like your internal battery is on it’s way out you will see it as soon as you open the case if I remember right it’s a 2032 button cell 3v can be bought from most stores the battery is only used for time keeping -
They don’t work ..... if image is bad from the start it is always bad

Hi. Don’t waste your money trying to do enhancements ..... it only works if your footage is good enough also in the uk if it’s needed for a court action it can’t be messed about with. Cctv is also information collecting. ...... the image might be bad but it could give you more information than you think. What is the footage about ?

Chinese Hi3520D - Admin account lost (?) + Possible solutions
tomcctv replied to matcunni's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi. Like Larry says. Is it going to be cost effective? Nvrs from any manufacturer are cheap now the other problem is not knowing we’re your data is going with the no name brands. Some ISPs are now starting to block China connections. Buy a brand name and then have tech support -
Going for government contracts before website is built or any regulations are in place like licences. Is not going to help I see you have install prices all over the internet...... 32 way nvr/dvr $12.000 yet you don’t say what equipment your using government is even harder as they now specify equipment

Ground Hog Day - Lorex newbie question

From a 4k system to a cheap China controlled box cam -
Hi. Using a 4 way dvr at each monitor
-
Hi. It depends on your budget. Yes there are splitters and you will also need converters so if your budget is around 500 to each tv then yes. Or or you can do cheaper easier and better by just using a 4way tvi at each tv for only 60 or 70 your problem is no tv will take a tvi signal .....you have to convert it
-
Hi. There are a few HD analog formats..... cvi tvi ahd So without knowing your hd1080 format its hard to recommend a new recorder the safest way so as not to waste time and money ..... I would look at buying a 5 in 1 hybrid dvr. They do all formats and are priced good

Hi. Can you give more info ...type of recorder .... is this a new install

Troubleshoot Video Loss Q-See System
tomcctv replied to LAMChance's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. I would replace all cables first ..... lead kits are the most common weak points. With you saying a camera will only come on once you connect another to recorder usually means a lost or broken Neutral in cable and it pics it up from the other camera. I would look at cat 5 with baluns first -
Troubleshoot Video Loss Q-See System
tomcctv replied to LAMChance's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Yes it should work direct into power without splitter with what you are describing it sounds like neutral to either video signal or power feed did you use the lead kits that came with your system ...... if you did that’s the place to start. The kits are poorly made and don’t usually have a life time past 2 years -
Hi there are some converters but never work well and cost is in the 100s you can pick up 4in1 cameras from $20 and depending on your recorder you could also get better res than your AHD. Cvi is 1mp upto 8mp

Started Youtube Channel In The Surveillance Systems Area; Grade me!
tomcctv replied to Pipl Systems's topic in Introductions
Remember what your first post was about. Now you don’t like it. Trust me there is nothing to subscribe too on your YouTube. Take your latest YouTube top 5 ip camera ..... and your number one is ezviz. 1mp just goes to show your startup company does not have a clue in the industry you should also know about the products you sell ...... as of last week anyone buying ezviz or hikvision need there head testing with the new global warming like I said earlier...... the industry moved from 1mp years ago and your new YouTube puts ezviz 1mp at the top of your best list lie to your customers is not a way to start a company you came on this forum asking what was the matter with your YouTube channel......people on your YouTube comments say the same -

How does that work ..... your asking me to help you review products. You need to know the product before you can do a honest review. Take two of your videos 1.......I am now taking it out of the wrapping its not a review just taking it out of the wrapping 2.......as you can see the recorder is a rectangler box yes most recorders are People are not interested in the packaging there also not interested in products 4years old. Mid you know nothing of the products then don’t do reviews .... leave them to people that know the products -

tomcctv replied to Pipl Systems's topic in Introductions
Well since your just using the forum as a advert I’ll be honest again. Its a bad as company that does not know what there selling or a history of a company on products you sell. Ezviz is another hik name and been going 10 years. The camera you demo is not new it’s 4 years old. Also reason why only sold in China is it was withdrawn from most other countries..... another cheap camera that’s only used for China to collect data...... it’s not security it’s a snoop device no recording no sd card .... just footage going off to China 3rd party can watch and hear what’s going on in your home. What’s different in videos ....... all you have done is add graphics and jokes and sunglasses...... nothing that makes reviews better. How is about doing another review on that ezviz camera on were IP address is sending customers data ...... talk about ezviz storage ...... talk about how it punches a hole in customers own network ..... reviews should be honest ........ not just get excited because they sent you one free -

Fantastic I have been looking for something to make me fall asleep for years .... your vids do the trick. You are giving so much bad information on at least 3 videos (sorry I started to nod off then) take your vid on dahua 4K mini ...... the audio on the back is not from cameras ..... it’s 1 local mic and 1 local speaker audio on ip systems is based in the camera data with audio enabled cameras. Every man man and his dog are doing cctv YouTube some do it excellent some very bad... yours are more a advert for out of date products ...... 3 weeks ago you did a video of a 1.3 mp camera ....... others did vids on 1.3mp years ago. Need a coffee now to wake up a little -
PoE cameras power issues with Swann. Is there better?
tomcctv replied to jrmull's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi. John good to see you are doing homework. Out of your 4 links only one is value for money. .... 2 of them would be just wasting money your first link ..... cameras don’t match the nvr ....... no point them selling 3mp cameras with a 4K nvr ..... pointless. The reo ..... you can only use there cameras on there system ..... which is useless if you want to upgrade there system the Samsung is old stock and are dome cameras and only 2mp ..... no one uses dome cameras because of bad images with sun and IR reflection on dome ...... also bad remote apps your best link is the Lorex. ....... your first link and the lorex link are infact the same operating system ....... both are dahua .... both are the same specs both use the same apps yet the lorex is $1000 cheaper. Mans it has better cameras and offers full cloud which you don’t get in your first link. The reason why it’s better and cheaper is lorex is 100% owned by dahua and it will also take 8mp cameras so no need to upgrade for a few years. -
Hikvision DVR 7208HGHI-SH:Unable to reset the Admin Password
tomcctv replied to rajeev1972's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hi. Has to be nvr ..... and if you have been entering password you will need to shut nvr down for 20 mins ..... it has a password block if entered too many times..... switching off for 20 mins resets that problem
