hi. there are two AVC791 1 silver 1 black. which do you have ? try setting your ports to 80. and then see what you get. also leave out your ddns account and go to your external ip instead. this is just to see what you get up on your screen.

have you directed your ip in ddns to use 8888 ???. i.e ddnsname:8888

while on your home network you cant use your external ip in most cases. you will have to check it from an external network.

you dont need a port for local. 8887 8888 you need for remote.

does that port work ???

hi. did you mean 8888 ?? you also need to add both to your router 8887 and 8888

hi. if you look at 1.3mp then they are not that much more in cost. axis have done a big price drop. you have the likes of dahua who have just releast 6 ip range. there 1.3mp is $80.

hi you will need the remote software to view the coloussus system. you should have had it on disk when you bought the dvr if you need a copy pm me.

i understand that but if his main purpose is to record on a public carpark i.e cars / people / not in connection with his private property . then yes it needs to be registered with the DPA.

Hi. what council are you covered under ??? see the problem with the UK law is if the find the joy riders the max fine they will get is £80. but the council have a much bigger cost getting them to court in the first place. its just the stupid UK law. your council will be DPA. and this is also about to change. but here is the copy. http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/detailed_specialist_guides/ico_cctvfinal_2301.pdf

hi. if you or who ever installs the system to view in a public space is not registered with the DPA. then 1 you will be braking the law. 2 you could be find £5000 upwards.

sounds like a 3rd party solution. i would not bother with that type of system. what is the monthly charge

hi. many ggod cameras out there. axis/sanyo all well priced for home use. you said some of your neighbours already have axix installed. it may be a good idea to find out what software there are using and get the same (if good) you could then help and protect each other property. you take a camera stream from them and they take a stream from your cameras. good protection if one or the other has the PC stolen. there are some axis and others for sale in the sale section of the forum. viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20564

if you are in the uk. then ask ask your council to install one. you cant use the footage recording a public area. unless you get registered with the DPA.

hi could be many things. but first how do you have the H/drives set-up.

hi mnederlanden. cat5 with baluns can also be used with standard cameras. good for long runs and multiple cameras. even audio / power and data. a good cost effective cable

is this not something you can work out yourself .... you have used them alot. i use thermal. but to be honest with you .... i dont want to list makes or installs with you as it will turn into ANOTHER 15 page thread that we have been doing wrong and and we cant do this or that. and also i dont want my ideas turned into your to be posted on another forum.

it was a prototype at the show. but said release this summer. it also has some big claims in the news letters and spec mmmmmmmm in total 215mp. (full pam image)

hi not shure about log records on your dvr. 5-6 accounts -- do you know who has control ...... if not change passwords and give the new one to only the operators that should have remote log in

same here hard reset on PTZ heads see what that does. had a problem 2 years ago only on 1 ptz. did everything reset same thing. looked in event log and it showed PTZ commands from remote. last company who installed the system had CMS commands external tour. if you are on a network for remote viewing change DVR passwords

hi. what make is your DVR.

hi. your post was to change from PAL to NTSC. going into 2 is not going to let you change that. and if you alter anyting from button 2 then its going to start to cost. you cant get free software for a DM. did you try the settings i gave you.

nice little clear set-up you have built.

hope you get the job. keep the good work up. we are no less than hybrids. lot of hotel work and night club work which is ideal for the mix of both sanyo/ vortex/axis/mobotix and the odd avigilon. just waiting for a Scallop ip to arrive which thewireguys posted a while ago. i can see alot of work for that in the hotel industry.

you can switch wireless off if not needed. the one in your link is to old http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/belkin-f7d1301uk-surf-wireless-cable-router-06042892-pdt.html
