to mix and match your old cameras with new and also ip then i would take a look at the avermedia http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=66 also you can now try the software for 30 days. see link and have a play. http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/AVerMediaTrialsoftware.aspx

the dvr listed is only cif recording. the higher the cif the better or D1. gives you much better video quality. So what is the difference in “potential” quality of CIF vs. 4CIF? Resolution quantifies only how close pixels or lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. A 4CIF image “can” potentially produce a better quality image then a CIF image because the more pixels used to represent an image; the closer the result can resemble the original. and this is the main thing you look for when buying a dvr. and the price of the system you listed you can buy a good 4 channel d1 dvr.

i would look at something better. the recording is crap. plus its a no name. take alook at avtech or the avermedia eb1304 sata. both are very good little units and both have good back-up. the cameras on the site you listed are good i.e cnb http://www.cctvsecuritypros.com/1sosuhadccd.html ideal for watching your yard.

i have also moved away from 7.7 and i buy my dvrs built from avers. 7.7 works well with the remote imatrix software from avers it has some good features on it

Hi jason. the dvr you have listed is cif recording very bottom range so i would say buy better. if you are not bothered about recording outside then take a look at the mobotix Q24 or if that is a bit over your price then i would recommend this http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=18 with 3 internal cameras and 1 external at the front. and if you stay with a brand name dvr you will have a good back-up service and having that alone will save you $$$

tweaks you are a bloody good sales man if that was the case it would show on any camera. its either a cheap camera or bad settings

http://www.cam-techsecurity.co.uk/cctv-cctv-specialist-cameras--new-metal-mickey-cctv-camera-and-thermal-imager-for-kent-london-installation.htm next time you look at the camera take a look at what it is seeing. some here are watching a bank entrance. but the cam is 700m away small but powerfull and mega bucks

looks just like a camera called the metal mickey. very powerfull camera. they are all over the place in the uk. SPEC, 750mts range The new "Metal Mickey" MIC1-412 Thermal installed by Cam-tech is able to give an optical overview of a scene thanks to its integrated day/night camera then, at the flick of a switch in the control room, the camera delivers thermal images with a detection range of over 780 metres. A number of thermal modes are afforded to the user including white hot, black hot and fire and ice displays. Brushless motor The MIC1-412 Thermal is machined from 6mm aluminium and rated to IP67 making it the most ruggedised optical and thermal CCTV solution currently available. Brushless motor It is the latest in Forward Vision's MIC1 series to feature brushless motor technology as standard. The brushless motors deliver unrivalled silent pan-tilt-zoom operation while groundbreaking 'resolver' technology provides the camera operator with a full 360° continuous rotation pan and an unprecedented 320° tilt control - all with pin-point accuracy. Peter Dobson, one of Forward Vision's founding engineers, states "A pre-production MIC1-412 was unveiled at the Extreme Group's recent Open Days in Manchester and London, generating a number of orders. Buyers told us they liked its ability to cover all aspects of detection and surveillance in one extremely flexible unit, regardless of the installed environment and conditions."

you will need something like this on each of your monitors. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=76

Tom. this is not a good idea. not only will you be monitoring your system but others will also. never give your ip to a 3rd party viewing company

take a look at the password you are using. are you on full admin password or user password.

yes you will need to stop recording before you can change it

Yes. you can add pos overlay to any dvr. i buy my gear from ave for older dvrs that dont have it built in. all you do is send then till info and they will send you a plug and play with the right leads. the lead kit part number is 108007 for verifone. http://www.americanvideoequipment.com/vsi.html

sounds like you need to change your settings from PAL to NTSC

the avermedia for windows mobile also lets you record. but all avers will connect to a mobile with no software needed

also the beeping is because all the cameras are not connected. just press entre when you hear the beeping. then select the camera channel you have connected your camera too. AND ALSO MOVE THE GEAR OFF THE TABLE YOU HAVE SCRACHED IT.

why do you need to chang the mac address.

yes its pos if your tv has vga input (pc) all you would need is something like a kvm extender http://www.wdminc.com/products/images/KVM_Extender_WDM.pdf

you should have a cd to load onto your pc or laptop that came with your system. please see instructions below. http://www.cop-eu.com/sections/downloads/files/Network%20Guide.pdf

is your dvr the cop zt dvr.

give it back to supplier and buy another make. it will be a power problem with the unit (hhd failure is a clue) plus looking at the website it is a very cheap dvr. try playing footage back mmmmmmm. also never buy a dvr that says ips as it is not the same as fps 30 ips is only 15fps. best thing is to exchange the dvr. for a brand name with support.

hi you dont need software if you have done all your port forwarding to 5550 for your dvr and you have handy viewer ticked in the network box then all you need to do is enter http://yourip:5550 But I have a mac and I can't install the activeX for this. I tried some solution proposed in others topic but it doesn't work. down load the apple app to your mac its free at the app store. averdigiviewer.
