  1. audio is a problem everywhere even in the UK. but we do get around it. the laws are to protect peoples conversations as they go around a store or work place and has nothing to do with the running of the cctv system. but audio is also a big part of CCTV if it is part of a crime. what we do is install audio at all cash areas but we do not feed any audio anywere in the store. i.e monitor without sound . no sound outputs from DVR. so the only time the audio is heard is when the back-up is on disk. that way the police can see and hear everything after a crime then it is upto the police in court to either play footage with or without the audio turned on or off. as well as video audio also tells the story.

    NEED CCTV WORK IN UK

    yellow pages will try to get you to advertise....... GIVE that a miss as they no longer print the books. you are best talking to your homewatch areas or even leaflet drops in your area.
  4. Hi. you need software for the sony to input the IP address. and also to do the camera settings. do you know if the camera has been used before ??? you may also have a password problem it might be worth you contacting a sony distributor as this camera also had a software problem and there was a free fix firmware. once you have the ip set on the camera you just insert that into which ever channel is free on your nano and its done.

    Need CCTV for Small Hotel

    we have not had a problem with them on avers in 4-8-16 or 32. but i do remember you saying you had a problem with the dahua. if a dahua is being used then i would use these cameras. much cheaper anyway and will save money as you dont need to buy baluns http://www.adata.co.uk/Catalogue/Cameras/Vandal-Domes/High-Range/M2-DSP-620TVL-Daiwon-Lens-28-11-No-IR-VAN-2602VFHWH-SF

    Need CCTV for Small Hotel

    Have you ever used the CNB DBM-24VF? Do you think IR is needed for interior hallways of a hotel? hi. for your main areas the DBM-24vf is a good camera to use. Hall ways no need for VF as they are narrow then you only need the DFL-20S/DFL-21S. i would not use IR cameras in hall ways or in the hotel rooms locations. you only need to cover exits. too many cameras in parts of a hotel can loose you room sales. reception / bar / fire escapes and on each landing to the rooms is all you need

    Need CCTV for Small Hotel

    less expensive CNB for hallways is ok. but spend the money on the likes of reception area and bar area. and its also good to have a quality camera on Goods in door way. and if you have walk in freezers cover that area as well. one thing to look at in doing hotels is to keep the cameras as disgreet as possable. dont install a black camera on a white tile or roof
  13. tomcctv

    help please

    Hi a switcher is built into a multiplexer so you would not need the one you have. with a switcher it will only show 1 camera at a time either via switch or time delay. with a multiplexer it gives you the camera layout. 1 - 4 -8 like a quad you can buy a multiplexer with remote control. you can even buy with network so as you can view your cameras online

    Looking for 10 600TVL Bullet Cameras

    agree that you are a professional installer or will have this camera professionally installed. ONCE THIS CAMERA HAS BEEN MOUNTED IT CAN NOT BE RETURNED. You must test the camera for damages/defects BEFORE installing. i had this sent to me. asking is it worth the risk. to me the statement above is stupid. IF a professional installs the camera and it fails in a week or month you have lost all your money. with CNB even if you train a monkey to install it you still get two years warranty.

    help please

    hi with a VCR you will need a multiplexer 4/8/16 depending on how many cameras you want to use.
  16. hi. you would be best just walking away from a 10 camera system for that price. starting out in the industry you will be asked to do alot of qotes like that. just not worth your time in paperwork.

    Older Geovision 1450 (2005) card? 64bit?

    geo will not tell you if the card is genuine or not just by a photo. only by ser number from card (has to be running) and software. D1 30 fps on a card 8 years old. i think you have been given the spec of the 1480. if it is a high cash flow business you will need to spend a little money on a good DVR of card (and not from ebay) it used to be cheaper to build your own system but take alook at the dahua DVRs cheaper and working out of the box.

    AVC791ZA-A

    Hi. this problem could just be a setting problem with your motion settings. just switch off motion record and run your system on constant for a few hours and see what your playback is like then.

    Looking for 10 600TVL Bullet Cameras

    advertising is a powerful tool. just like over the last view months we have been getting empire....... there is no such camera as the empire. if you cant buy it trade then its not a manufacturer.
  20. these cameras are just webcams. but you also have to watch were you buy a foscam from. they are all over amazon and e bay. which are not true foscams. a good budget ip is the avers. http://surveillance.aver.com/product/Bullet-IP-Camera-SF1311H-B http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1q79Pchyr8&feature=player_embedded
