Hi. Dayiz. you are going to need to give a lot more info to get help. there are 100s 1000s of dvrs we need to know what make you have. also is it a new install or something that has just started to happen.

Hi josh. when building a 16 camera system you need to take into account cost. sometimes it is cheaper to buy made. take a look at the avermedia 9000 pro or the avermedia SA6000e ............. the cost of building a 16 and buying the sa6000e is not much more.

hi. the one you have posted is the avers EB3004 sata MD....... it does not net work you need to look for EB3004 sata net. and it has full mobile viewing.

we had problems just like yours and we got around it by adding i vga extender box ............it gives the vga a little boost.

Hi Dar. the appollo is not the type of dvr you would attach £200 cameras too. so i would just pop that quote in the bin. the appollo is a hard machine to work around and getting it over the internet. it is a stupid set-up (which they charge £50 for a support phone call) i would look at buying it yourself and i would look at CNB cameras and a avermedia EB3004 sata net, both of which are far better than your dvr and cameras listed.

the CNB VCP701/IRH. is ideal for a marina. and if used with the hand control unit gives you zoom options.

just looked at your spec post ..... camera / power supply/cable $25. those cameras are going to give your problems. your power supply is too small for a start. for that distance

it looks like a power problem over distance. .. what size power supply are you using ???

we have done this many times as a quick solution to pos. we use belkin vga to rca converters and we all so add a picture in picture box. this makes it much better as you have 2 images on one screen ....... till display and camera covering the counter. and your dvr will record it as a split screen.

just some advice......... dont buy that system ............ the cnm dvr is nothing but problems. and when you need to take footage off is just another story.

do you have the steel blue case eb or black plastic dvr.

Green drives are plenty fast and give off less heat making them more suited for the confined spaces of a DVR. it depends on which type of system .............green drives dont work in pc systems ........ give western digital tech a call they will tell you the same thing.

mario. i think i agree with the others. and the site you listed is something i would never use. it would just be a waste of money. most installers will have a number of cameras that they trust and know they do the job. then the main test is camera to dvr. you can have a good image on one dvr and bad on an other. you get some people spending $200 on a camera and connecting it to a $60 dvr from ebay and the first thing they will say is the cameras crap ............... i think doing test on big brand name makers just would not work. . its like the test box you have built ............. you can do all the tests and post your findings...... them someone else can make a bigger test box with true daylight fittings ...and the reports will be differant.

Hi hectyre. if you mean by going full ip cameras for your install then you need to be looking at a nvr and not a dvr. or just software from the likes of milstone. or you could look at a hybrid dvr. just mix of ip and standard cameras. this is a good way to go if you already have cameras installed.

Hi Dot. you can buy a ptz with the feature on but megga money. but you can also buy dvrs with this feature. if you already have a dvr. then you might think of using sensors to give your ptz an alarm point.

Hi davie. you say that you live 1 mile (600m) from the farm ................. is it a 1 mile. its just that 1mile is 1610m so as we can tell you what is best

Hi. maplins sell 80% re-worked cctv systems from many companies like cnm and panacom. the bad new is it has taken you two years to find a problem. when the dvr formats your pen .....what does it show up under properties as fat or fat32. but the other problem is it should not format your drive from the usb anyway.

Sure you can see difference between 15FPS and 25FPS! Especially on moving objects! When talking about 50/60 it is also FPS not IPS, take a look at http://vivotek.com/products/model.php?network_camera=ip8352&also=ip8352&tab=over 50/60FPS at HD720 Resolution then we are talking, but ofcourse for overview cameras, no need for more then 25 FPS in a retail store. When I am talking about 50&60FPS it is for a entrance camera where people are walking and you want to use video recordings later for identify people. For instance a 7-Eleven have 1 High res/high speed camera for entrance door then 25FPS cameras with ? Resolution for the rest. For a highway traffic monitoring maybe need as low as 1 FPS. But you can take and have a look at still images from 15/25FPS and then compare with high speed cameras. Specially H264/Mpeg4 needs more FPS. Mjpeg is better for 1 single frame. JD your customers will not see any differance from 15 to 30 http://www.panasonic.com/business/security/demos/PSS-recording-rates.html

twomcctv. am with matt i think its time you brought your company into 2010. reading your post felt like i was back in the 80s.

Hi JD. i think your dvr specs are in ips and not fps 50ips = 25fps ..... 30ips = 15fps .... no reason to go above 15fps as you cant see any differance.

yes they do all avers will do windows mobile./ smartphone/BB/iphone/ipad
