frame rate is bad 25 total. the footage will drive you mad. slow and it will miss things. (and it always miss the things you need.) with a 4 chanel you need to look for 100 fps in total.

can you post a pic of your lamp ??

http://wataboy.com/videos you also get 15 sensors in the kit. will alsp take any camera ip/standard

your portforwarding does not seem right. it should not be giving you a public ip. first see what the ip is for your dvr. (in dvr network settings) and right it down (this is your local ip) then go to firewall on your 2 wire. for some reason on 2 wires you will only see the mac address of your dvr. click on it and give it a name (cctv) then give it a port number (dont use 80) use 5550 then exit the router. now find your external ip (google myip) and right it down. now use the local ip to log on (you must be on the same network) and when you are away from the network you use the external ip. and you enter your ip in IE like this http://yourip:5550

no am not saying that. infact they will look after you very well. the last camera i sent back was a Q24 to have the mic reset this had a cost of £120. but i took it to the uk mobotix office as i am only 11 mile from it. it might be cheaper if you book a trainning day with mobotix and take your camera with you. thay might over look the cost.

why not be a mobotix installer. go on a tranning day. if you know the camera and installed it then no you will never have to send it back for reset. you only need do this if you dont know the camera passwords and user name. and without these you cant get the camera working. even if you get a stolen one it has to go back it will never work till its reset. and as far as getting it back when stolen. on mobotix you can install your company details into the camera. and this can only be removed by mobotix if stolen.

you can only send them back to mobotix though a mobotix dealer. you will need more than just a password reset. so have a full factory update. and they will ask you the history of the camera. (remember they do) Wait...so let me get this correct....there is no manual push button reset switch on one of the most advanced cameras available? Dang thats a real deal blower, spending the extra cash is just BS put the downtime you will face is even worse. ex. send it in overnight, they fix it in one day and overnight it back to you, total time frame 3 days, and probably like $100, so for 3 days your client would be without security from that camera, and as you know mysterious stuff like theft, assault and sexual harassment and what not always will start to happen with the absence of a camera. *EDIT* Apparently you can reset to factory defaults but still have to send it into the factory for a main admin password. First time I've heard of something like this....kinda BS. gfdcxgfd. so yes you still need to send the camera back. no it mobotix cameras dont have a reset button. and the way the mobotix works is not BS. if you are the original installer then you have no problems at all you can change settings on site. and as you know mobotix cameras are expensive. so let say you buy an external mobotix and a few weeks later some scum bag steals the camera. do you know you have an 80% chance of getting the camera back. the mobotix system works very well and it also stops 3rd party installers messing with the camera.

you dont need ip cameras to be able to view on a iphone. and it does have relation to your dvr. you will need to see if swann have a app for there dvr in istores or give swann a ring to see if they know of a app for your system.

i would use a ptz. nothing worse than drug activity happening in the camera blind spot. or just out of range. http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=989 this is just a little bigger than the samsung. also take a look at the sanyo HD range ip. very good camera.

kiter. first ask yourself why you want a cctv system. like you have said The card what i have enough for me .I can not say i like the res on picture but do the work ok. no point in having a system were you cant make out faces or car plates. you would be better going for the avermedia or avtech. in the long run you will save money. and dont buy from ebay. just type ebay into the search at the top of the forum page. see how many people have wasted there money.

you can only send them back to mobotix though a mobotix dealer. you will need more than just a password reset. so have a full factory update. and they will ask you the history of the camera. (remember they do)

i had a a problem just the same with a unit called the levi. would start up run for 2 to 3 mins then shut down. and i found the problem by mistake. but it might be worth a go. remove all usb cables to the motherboard and start it back up. the problem with the levi was one of the usb ports had shorted out with the owner putting a pen in the wrong way.

might have a go at changing your port 80 to say 5000 or 5555 dont use port 80.

like soundy says it can start to get expensive to upgrade your pc. and your other problem is BUYING a card from ebay. you will spend more on cards than on your pc till you get one that sort of works from ebay. if you are just running 2 cameras then just buy a budget named dvr http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?Id=151 this will cost you less than upgrading your pc.

the pic you have posted has rolling on it (you can see the start of it in top left corner) this looks like a power problem. what power are you putting to your ptz and how and how long is the run ???

if you are away from the dvr the lan ip is no good. did you get the external ip while you was there ???

they are 2 types of eb1304 net. look for the eb1304 net sata. and heat will not be a problem. the aver is a better spec by far than the intellicam g4 as this is a low res cif recording and the aver is full D1. also remote viewing from any mobile phone / smartphone/pda/iphone/mobile windows.and laptop.

Hi guy. ip cameras will give you the best image pos. but at night they have draw backs. for a 20m x 20m unit i would use a hybrid system to have ip indoors and standard hi res cameras with ir lighting outdoors and 1 ptz to cover the carpark. i will pm you a demo.

axis are far from budget side. but do you need to go ip. it depends on what you want your system for and how you wish to use it. i.e 8 external cameras. you could cut the cost down with 4 ip and 2 ptz cameras. less cameras more coverage. i would look at a hybrid system so you can mix standard and ip. and also this gives you the dvr to record which is better than using one of your works pc. i am sure you will get a lot of help on here if you can tell us what you are protecting. i.e car lot/pertrol station/office.

Is that right Tom, they will not give an installer any info? Ilkie yes thats right. mobotix would like installers to learn about there cameras. you cant buy direct from derby mobotix. and if you intend to use mobotix then i would say go to a training day. mayflex is the main uk outlet for mobotix.

that is the swann dvr. you do not need a controller as one is built into the dvr. that will save you money. were are you in the uk. so i can send you a link to a supplier in your area.

when looking for a ptz with night vision always look for a true day night. http://cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1104 what make is your dvr ???

Hi rob. do you not need to record the camera ??? and is it for internal or external use. also most dvrs will control a ptz. are you adding it to a system ? and what make dvr do you have now. a very good ptz camera is the cnb.
