    hi ian. you will not get it on a iphone. it needs active x which iphones dont have. the reason why i say to try 3g is it is not blocked in china. just wanted to see if it still had the problem.

    MagicRadar TS04 Client

    this happends on hikvision machines a few years ago also when the H/Drive was full. empty your H/Drive (it says full in pic) so no recordings. and reboot and try again.

    is this Dvr any good?

    Hi mrreddog. the best way to look at fps is the human eye sees at 13.7 fps so anything between 5fps 15fps is good enough. as far as resolution. cif/mpeg/mjpeg/h.265. you cant go wrong with mjpeg recording just sent you a pm.

    Hi mrreddog. the avertech is a much better spec dvr. if you stick with brand names then you are ok. lots of un branded from korea will give massive spec and good warranty (only good if you are in korea) where are you mrreddog ???

    Hi Ian. what happends when you log on with 3g modem i.e vodafone, from the uk. just to see if it still has its problem
  7. like i said in my post this will not work on that dvr. first off the ip camera has to be supported by geovision software. which will cost alot. and like joindvr says it will only display your expensive ip camera as an analog. so you will have no function over it. buy an ip i.e axis/sony/sonyo and run it on your pc. then you will have all the benifits of ip /zoom/res/ alarms/auto zoom. and the only cosy involved is the price of your ip camera
  8. Hi wizz. you say you are not interested in getting faces. so you will go for cheaper cameras. the best thing on cctv is to get the best footage as pos. and try and get as many faces as pos. if somthing bad happends and you dont have good footage then your system has been a waste of money.

    if you can. pay a little more. for better. also if you are not shure. the best thing to do is look for someone on here who is in your area (were are you) and buy a dvr from them. you will then get good back-up and you will get a system that works. or look at avertech or avermedia dvrs where you can get support in america.
  10. have cameras worked on the dvr card before. ????? or is it something you have built

    thank for pic. your dvr port is the 8000 change that to 5555 and leave your http 80 port as it is. but you will have to portforward 5555 in your router. and then you should be ok using http://yourip:5555
  13. no this is not possable with that card. but you can run along side (on your windows o/s) most ip cameras will come with viewer software. take a look at axis.

    Hi Ian. port 80 will get blocked by some isp for inbound. and you also set a port to 8000. this will be classed as port 80. your best bet is to set up new ports around the 5555 mark i.e 5550. just remember to add this to your ip when you log in i.e http://yourip:5550
  15. RG59 is fine with power. but you will also need data. so also use cat5. alongside your RG59. or you can use composite cable. http://product-image.tradeindia.com/00311787/b/0/CCTV-Cable-.jpg
  16. Nice update to website.Larry. and all the best for the new year to everyone on the forum

    under car/vehichle 2 camera system help

    speed bump cameras are very good. remember places still have guys with mirrors on poles. and the speed bump camera will see more. as far as thermal cameras. not under a car or truck. to much heat in its runing gear and bombs are not hot. (well till they go off) the speed bump camera system can be 1 upto 6 cameras looking under the cars. so type of install, 4 camera speed bump then just past the cameras a barrier so as cars and trucks have to drive slow over cameras and then stop at barrier. demo. http://www.icruvss.com/html/demo.html

    Long Cable Run

    i have used these a couple of times and are alot cheaper than fiber. also with the kit you get a power unit. it is good for 500m on coax manufatura says more but i would stick to 500m as max range http://biwave89.myweb.hinet.net/product/product01.htm
  20. I’m sorry for confusing the issue here. Tomcctv mentioned the CNB camera and I had just purchased one. I found it to be a very good camera for my situation. His description of the settings were right on. Nevertheless, for a bar situation, I don’t think a day night camera would be the best choice. Depending on the lighting, wouldn’t it be on B/W all the time or in color all the time? The day night may even switch back and forth. Personally, I think B/W would be the best choice. B/W cameras provide better picture quality in lower light levels. I might put color cameras in normal or well lit exits, entrances or hallways to identify clothing color. For sure I’d put a good day night to cover parking lots. As for DSS, I find that it’s totally useless. Slow shutter speed may have its place in regular photography but not in CCTV. The local bar I dealt with uses what I described above and it works very well. Hi metal shaper man. yes you are right. what i forgot to say was. the cnb has the option to keep /b/w or to go true day night or stay colour. so one camera with gives you a wide option in placing the camera. also yes it has dss that can also be turned on and off and it does slow down a little which make it ideal for around tvs/ monitors/fruit machines and fast flashing lights.

    Coaxitron Failure

    then if the heads are fine after the test then its time to cable. best thing to do is strip and make new ends. on every camera. not just look. have the cameras ever been serviced. ptz need it once a year. i have a vcl ptz just on 14 years old never gone down.

    Coaxitron Failure

    sounds like camera. if it has been working for 3 years. a quick test for the pelco ptz. is to power it down for a few minutes and when you power it back up. watch the camera to see if it does a self test. (watch the head move) if this does not happen. remove service and test it.
