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.

what does it say on your machine. or how many cameras

which avers do you have ???

i am so glad i buy good named cards ................how can anyone put there customer though this

if £50 is your budget then call into your maplins store. dont buy from hong kong. they will not send them or you will have duty to pay when they hit the uk

you are not going to get a dome ptz with ir. not a pro camera anyway. you are best off with a p/t head and a good zoom camera and good illuminators.

hi joe. yes you need the controller with those vcl cameras. if you need the manual let me know.

the 6 Zone Expander TSLEC6 has nothing todo with your cameras so put that to one side. all i can see you needing for a quick set-up is a powered switcher to add to your router. pc world £30. that will give you a cheap way to do POE. your cameras will record to the small server and you can access that also from your router.

must be a first time for me to say you have a good buy from ebay.. are you in the manchester area ???

like i said in my first post for $60 or $120. you are not going to get a good card. plus going from the cards you use to something like d1 recording you are going to have to spend alot more on building your pc. then you will have to spend more on cameras than your $75. no point recording d1 with low tvl cameras. what would you call a good price for a card. ???

no. each card has its own cd key. but you can use avermedias software to do what you need like avers, cms3000 or imatrix or by network.

priamida. here is an email contact to avermedia spain good start for getting pricing. Sat.es@avermedia.com the alarms are built into the unit. you programe what you want them to do. ie send email/call mobile/switch on sirens or lights (though relay)

spain is not out of the question. how far are you from alicante or malaga are you

its a bad system from ebay. look at something else. take a look at avtech or avermedia it will save you money and problems. plus you get support.

that is a good price for a 16ch....... how many ch are you looking for. So the bottom line is that I CAN'T compete with prices like these, at least NOT in my area, its useless, there have to be other manufacturers out there with much better prices with cards and software that matches my requirements. I am not going to put my business on standby, I will continue doing CIF installations and selling CIF based DVR systems UNTIL the day that I made aware of the D1 cards I am looking for at good prices, THEN I will immediately dump my CIF cards in favor of the D1 cards. they is many ways to sell dvrs and your way is wrong. you are selling to suit you and not your customer. you are selling to suit you and not what is needed for the install. a good installer will build a system not just for today but also for the future. and as an installer you should also educate your customer. like you said in your post cif play-back on your cards is bad, i bet you dont right that in your costing to your customer. D1 cards from ebay. for $60 what makes you think you can buy a crap card then build a system and still not call it crap. why not just install avtech or avermedia ready systems. it will save you lots of money. sorry i sound a little hard over this post but let me explain why, many guys on the forum work with many types of dvrs/nvrs and they install for the needs of today i myself use hybrid as the least i would install. just so the customer can go forward at a later date with ip. it does not matter were you are in the world customers will always get a few quotes and many guys on here will at some point be told that there quote is to high. a guy can do it cheaper buy $1000. your that guy. selling old cif systems. it is not good to sell systems that are already out of date. you will see alot of guys on here loosing out on install contracts and thats because they will not move on quality. sometime its best to walk away from a bad customer.

that is a good price for a 16ch....... how many ch are you looking for.
