    if you are missing segments in your back-up screen (white and not blue squares) then first check your H/Drives make sure there are staying cool (add more fans) and dont use green H/D or AV drives. and with a 32 cam system you will also need to turn down your frame rate on some cameras (if you are running full frame rate on every camera this will also give you problems ....... put 5 or 6 channals down to 7 fps. if on H264.
  2. it would be far better for you if you get a company in to do it. 30 ip camera install ......... its going to cost you money in mistakes.
  3. Have you bought the camera NEW. this feature on the Q24 will not work if audio has been disabled.
  4. kablooie. lets just leave the post alone. am getting board with it. and am not the person having problems with pos integration. never had a problem with it.
  5. serial port monitor ??????? how. you say in your post you are getting a new touch till ............... your output is vga. (your going to be on a windows system) how are you going to record the data from the till. if you have a problem in your shop and the police want footage or you want footage of money going missing it must be in the same picture (text overlay) with timestamp in the uk. you are right I said I am thinking about it. now as I am getting familiar with the all the process I really do not need to change the register . [Now only if I need to] Now any printer that can send data to pole watcher or most importantly to printer, that output port can be monitored. doesn't matter what type of port is it. I do not worry about police thing just sack the the bugger stealing money from me..
  6. Ha ha ah - I'm not talking about an oversized calculator with a cash drawer. kablooie. that is what we are talking about. a standard till. you are giving advice on back office tills. so its like i said it is cheaper to install a text overlay or swap out his dvr card that does pos. to collect the data from the serial port of his till.

    Finally its cold

    thank for that rory. -2 here oh and the white stuff is called snow
  8. Kablooie. talk me though how you would get this till to display pos text (decoded) and visable on a screen. then explain how it would be searchable.
  9. thats fine for remote viewing. am on about to your pc (dvr) from livestream. why give your security dvr info away The Information Livestream Collects: Information You Provide: You may provide to Livestream what is generally called "personally identifiable" information (such as your name, email address, credit card number, postal mailing address, and telephone numbers) if you use certain services or products from the Livestream Service, enter contests or sweepstakes, or otherwise use the features and functionality of the Livestream Service. “Automatically Collected“ Information: When you access the Livestream Service (including through your computer or your mobile device) or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record certain information from your system by using different types of tracking technology.

  10. seems to be an easy solution but i would not recommend that you install this on a pc based dvr. read the aggrement to adds and pop-ups ....... why put a security system at risk
  11. Kablooie. that is not a simple as you make out. 1. the dvr sould just be used as a dvr only. for what you are saying you would have to take the data from the till convert it to text (software) also be able to store (hard/drive) then give it another screen output. and at the end it still can not be searchable (it a standard till no back office) and for the cost it would be better to use a text overlay or change the card to a card that has full pos search and store. and a dvr card with pos search will give all the info you need. 1 text overlay on video 2 searchable by word or stock code....... put in chips will show you how many have been sold that day or can of coke 3 highlight void/no sale/ till open 4 will also give a copy of recipt given to customer and doing it that way will be cheaper than anything else.
  12. exactly my plan... Also you can improvise the same scenario via live streaming.. I'll try it after my exam finishes... after 16th dec.. so its not pos for your cctv. this is a silly idea. i thought you wanted the pos so as you can spend more time away from your shop.......... think about it ..... you are going to have to watch 24/7 with your set-up. live dvr video on 1 screen and the other screen live pos data. so in your post you have a standard till (no back office set-up) and your till is not windows based. you are best changing your dvr card to one that does pos. and save your money

    Help Urgently needed

    Hi if you are testing straight from till to laptop you will need to use a cross over cable for the moxa. and also every time you change settings you also need to reset the moxa unit every time till text is right. how far is your till from the dvr.
  14. Not necessarily true. Most till printers are just simple ASCII printers - that WILL be plain text, with CRs/LFs and possibly TABs in appropriate places. Ditto with Polewatcher outputs, since a Polewatcher display just accepts and displays plain text. The main issue with logging it to a DVR is that the software needs to understand the layout of the information - ie. register number, transaction number, item name, item price, etc., to sort and store them in the right columns. The output itself is perfectly legible, in most cases. As noted above though, a printer output is not generally good for live data capture, because it doesn't usually send data until the transaction is complete (and sometimes not until PRINT is specifically selected). A Polewatcher output is preferable because it's generally realtime - item is entered/scanned, item displays immediately. yes pole display and printer get the same data. what i do not understand is how the op is going to see the data without a pos box or text overlay box (both of which converts the data to text) he could use UTP but his dvr does not allow that. for him to say he is going to just monitor his data out on a monitor is only going to give him binary. Serial communications are simply a series of voltage or current changes which are translated into the binary equivalents of 1 or 0s. After a series of this data is received, the computer reconstructs the serial data into its original binary format for computation.
  15. serial port monitor ??????? how. you say in your post you are getting a new touch till ............... your output is vga. (your going to be on a windows system) how are you going to record the data from the till. if you have a problem in your shop and the police want footage or you want footage of money going missing it must be in the same picture (text overlay) with timestamp in the uk. you are right I said I am thinking about it. now as I am getting familiar with the all the process I really do not need to change the register . [Now only if I need to] Now any printer that can send data to pole watcher or most importantly to printer, that output port can be monitored. doesn't matter what type of port is it. I do not worry about police thing just sack the the bugger stealing money from me.. am only trying to help you here.............. yes you are right your printer output can be monitored. but data is only sent to the printer once you have pressed the sale button (hence recipt) you will have a epsom printer. you data pins are 3 and 5 so that is how you would monitor the data from your till ............. you still need to turn the data to text ........ you need a text box
  16. no i dont think you understand .............. each manufactura till maker has differant codes ............ there is software called pos capture but you still cant read it. unless you have a text box. you can pull the data of your till but you need to convert it. IT DOES NOT COME OUT OF YOUR TILL AS TEXT.
  17. thanks I know it is not hight risk but we do offer quite a few products. You know when you do 7 days work like your mind just switches off.. I want to get out of the shop and let somebody else mange it for me but I wanted to keep my eye on it and that is how I started asking for text inserter. Thanks to all of you specially soundy for his explanation which was real kick in the aaaa for me My cousin also has grocery shop with 16 channel pcbased system with two register so I also thinking about that too.. I have some exam now so hopefully after 15th Dec I'll free to try all of my idea in practically and post it here too.. just one more thing ............... please dont think that the text comming from your till will show up on anything on every till it is code you have to convert it hex / dex binnery ............ dont think you till puts out standard text because it cant.
  18. serial port monitor ??????? how. you say in your post you are getting a new touch till ............... your output is vga. (your going to be on a windows system) how are you going to record the data from the till. if you have a problem in your shop and the police want footage or you want footage of money going missing it must be in the same picture (text overlay) with timestamp in the uk.
  19. fish and chips. is not lie high risk just text overlay will do............ but like most overlay units you also need to give a recipt. in the uk your text overlay is going to cost you £360 but if you change your dvr card from the swann to one with pos you will save money.
  20. that type of pos search is so old . a searchable database is much faster and better.
  21. it all depends on what type of shop you have.
  22. ask your customer for the admin code you are limited to parts of the dvr system with just a user code.

    POS Question

    what and you trying to do. on the eh your alarm text will only display for a few seconds and you will only get jumble i.e XXX@+: the dvr has to understand the data from your alarm.
  24. Email Support: support@jtcctv.com Telephone Support: 1-800-344-2580 Support facility hours: 8:30 am to 5:30 pm (Pacific time) When you call please try to have the following information available: DVR model number and serial number.
  25. Hi johnty. text overlay is expensive and like soundy has said you are best with database search. the way i think you sould go and the cheapest is to change your dvr card to a card that has pos software. this is the best way and if you have more than 1 till you will also need the text overlay for each till ............ swap your card ... its the cheapest way
