Hi. The more you can use for power the better .... if not adding another camera to the same cat5 1 cam use 1 pair for video other 3 for power 2 cam use 2 pair for video other 2 for power

Hi. How far apart it cash register to recorder. Also does your LTS have pos settings .... some older units only replaced time and date data which does not work well

Hi. You only have 1 balun in your picture. which is the 8 way you have The singles you have are not baluns

Hi. Your making your own post complicated. if to be the same then yes a VGA or HDMI splitter will do. how far is the monitor from the recorder that you want to install . also you never answered about the switch

Hi. If using that system are you also using a switch ? how many cameras are you looking at displaying on other monitor

Hi. If your recorder has rj45 inputs then it's either a IP system or a old 100ohm system DVRs are BNC camera input can you give name or a picture of your system

Hi. You need to switch off your unit for more than 20 mins .......then try the default if that does not work enter username ........admin password ..........026464

Hi default user name is admin and password is 888888 for that unit also bb means no hard drive .... have you fitted one ?

Hi. Are you using your external IP

When you go to the app do you click on cloud or local ..... local is the yello square at bottom left of the app

Hi. We're are you based...... There is two ways that you can use the app ......cloud connection which goes off to China server and the other option which is local have you done any port forwarding on your router.. Also who is your ISP and your router make.

Hi power supplies are cheap to buy ...... If your powering them together just buy a block 12v 5amp supply

Is it not ..... it depends on what format the 7200 was bought at ..... and it does come in sdi If you buy gray or copy .... then your going to have problems.... it’s not hikvision fault.

Hi. .......what converter ??? That would just be more cost . like in your other post ......you have new coax already installed ...... So why not just go with 4 - 5- or 8mp coax system and save yourself even more money. why are you so stuck on digital watchdog ........ And going HD analog there system is just a rebadged system

Why would anyone still buy junk

Hi. It could also give you a lot of hassle cat5 is old and also came as cat5 cca. Which is bad cable ......cat5e is a much better cable and most likely to be pure copper . You also need to know existing size of the old cat5

Hi CBN. i think you know the answer .....yes it's BS. This would just be another way for you to loose the contract. but I think you might of missed something that is important to your install and future installs ........ If it's a brand name hotel ..... PM me the name ... Not the location Well this tells a lot about your competitors........ They are not up on GDPR regulations. PM me if you want more info on CCTV GDPR. but in very very rare cases you might be called to court to verify footage but this is only for cases such as murder ........ In 36 years it's only happend 3 times for me. its ok installing but there is much more to do before the system is handed over to the owner ........ First..... You need to teach a member of hotel staff the system . And this makes him /her become the system manager and this alone takes any liability from your company of any footage needed for courts or police and is also now part of GDPR.

Hi. CBN welcome to forum .

Hi. I would have a think if you need 4k cameras on all channels...... you will limit your system and be spending more on hard drive space 8mp across the whole system is also going to reduce your FPS ...... it makes better sense to manage your system 4k at important areas and 4 to 5mp in others

Just remind us again why your upgrading 1.3 upto a 2mp and then having to pay for each camera an extra $400 or $800 depending on how many cameras yes your right to think 2mp is old tech ..... nothing wrong with it just that there is better and that makes 2mp the cheaper option $80 is the going price for a branded 2mp camera if your looking at 8mp then look at your first thread ...... stay with the coax you have which will help your budget

Hi if systems are both the same make then it’s a lot easier for you with only having to use 1 app and 1 pc software if you use a different make you will need two apps adding another unit is not a problem ....you separate everything on a network by its local IP address...... just like if all your family had iPhones .... there is never any conflict on your local network because they all have different ip addresses

Might of had a little too much Jack Daniel's whiskey ?

Hi. Making your recorder WiFi has been done via connecting to your tp router and that is in fact then a bridge to your main router. did you buy the tp or is it the existing one

Hi cctv systems are a much better security device than a alarm system alarm system is only active when set and most businesses switch them off 9 to 5 and when in use it only alerts you.... cctv collects information 24/7 and records all information most cctv also has option with it having alarm inputs or camera set as alarm device ....... most system have a schedule time set for each camera or pie attached to go into alarm detection mode ..... also a lot of units allow you to set alarm once area is closed just by going into app and setting alarm on

Hi what make is your system
