Hi POE injectors are cheap and better than using a plug type power supply

Hi active is standard for cctv

hi that would be a long discussion with the many types of formats now available what type of system do you have and the problem

Hi the problem with 4K and SD card storage only is the amount of data …… a day or so storage is pointless especially if you go away for weekend or on holiday it is better to have at least 2weeks storage to look back on cctv is not just for crime it also helps in other ways like disputes with parcels being delivered was it delivered or stolen also helps if someone else in the street has damage done to there cars …… it’s always good to view recordings going back more than a day or so many of my customers like seeing the wildlife around there property…… cats playing with hedgehogs…. Foxes and a customer sent me a picture of a albino badger and they are very rear in the uk

Hi I would first start with how your existing cameras are wired up …. Coax or cat5 what make is your old system

Hi. Good to see your going to do some homework first as far as the install goes with equipment today it’s easy and you will probably like the experience I was in Boston in November servicing a system

Hi if everything is on same network yes you can

Hi does not apply in this case as mains powered cameras (110/240v) don’t exist anymore

Q-see has gone

Load of crap ………anyone can take pride in their work …….. a home owner knows his home structure better than you but if your so good why do you need to spam ? You should have orders for most of this year …….spamming says your not and also not the best just looked at you domain name …… it was only purchased in October 2022 99,cents for 1 year runs out November 2023 it was $10 for 10 years Updated Date: 2022-11-08T15:23:51Z Creation Date: 2022-11-08T15:23:48Z Registry Expiry Date: 2023-11-08

This is the problem when people believe everything from hikvision sellers instead of Facebook do a search on worldwide hikvision ban …. Your uk …… so banned in some situations and now looking at no large data by isp could ban you should read the terms and conditions when loading the app people buy security for protection but hikvision take so much of your personal information and your contacts information and then you allow them to track your mobile phone (if app installed on it) even if your 1000s miles from your home cameras hik track you ……. Your data is more important as it’s valuable to them

Hi bad mistake using hikvision in the uk cheapest crap on the market now the reason for second unit not working is it’s digital not analog so works on tvi cvi or ahd not all hik revert to old analog

Hi firmware won’t help at all and not available anyway. moving hard drive onto your pc will work as it will format and use different sectors insert and new drive into your dvr and let dvr format it DVRs are cheap I would replace your old dahua lite unit

Hi first thing is not to update your unit all qvis units are remote viewing only update needed is if there is a problem with the existing software can you post a picture of the menu screen so as we know which unit you have

Hi there are a few things but your description sounds like your internet has been logged onto ….. there are devices that allow people to log into Wi-Fi that is not there’s I would start by asking your service provider to change your network (external iP) address also in many routers now you can schedule Wi-Fi to switch off ……. Your system will still work and have internet access you also have the switch Wi-Fi off remotely with your cell phone or pad there should also be in your router log a black list option under connections were you can block log on iP address that you don’t recognise or logging in at unusual times if you find on your router IP address you don’t know PM them to me and I’ll locate them for you

Hi problem with doing passwords is they need to be same day ( your screen shot) plus if the screen goes off it also need to be done again ….as is states on screen in red next screen shot can you leave cameras on

Hi. Is this a nvr or dvr does it still have internet access ? we’re are you located qvis are still running

You are very right ……. But it has a name SuperLive plus

Hi. I would give your cameras a clean with a soft cloth and warm water and then see how it looks

Hi … svat went out of business years ago along with there network support and app support which is no longer available on App Store Java applications for video are not used any more And it was limited Icamviewer might be a app solution but as Java it will be slow

Hi. After seeing your pic of power supply I would also say yes …. That looks like a 12v 4 amp power supply which is well under powered for the cameras you have also don’t replace with another brick type power supply as problems effect your whole system instead of 1 cam fault this is what you should be using because it supplies the right amps to each of your camera ….. 4 or 5 amp power supply is not good for 5 cameras ….. 1.5 amp x 5 = 7.5amp no pro would use the brick type with pig tail leads https://www.amazon.co.uk/HAILI-Output-Supply-Switch-Distribution/dp/B07SV1W15G/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?crid=3UYEJZQD7B36U&keywords=cctv+power+supply&qid=1672932606&sprefix=cctv+power+supply%2Caps%2C152&sr=8-14

Hi just checked it’s under system configuration icon

Hi the good old pioneer….. good units I have lots out first thing to look at is in resolution or camera setup you will see a button for PAL and NTCS it needs to be on PAL for the uk ….. that’s your first place to look you could also have a camera that is going bad …….. unplug one camera at a time and see if anything changes can you post a picture of the camera power supply

Hi it’s ok to answer questions ….. it helps you save money as you learn With you having analog cameras (your ptzs) 5 in 1 gives you all formats analog ——tvi——cvi—-ahd——and iP going 4K is a little overkill all it does is use up your hard drive space your dvr at the moment is max 960 tvl a new dvr at 5mp is all you need I will pm you a dvr also while your searching for a dvr don’t look at hikvision or dahua in the uk they won’t have a long life span

Hi next thing to check is the cpu cooling fan (any internal fan) see if that starts up on startup
