    Close up ip camera & lens needed

    Hi a standard 2mp full colour turret camera will work fine for you. which nvr are you using and we’re are you located
  2. Hi before you buy anything I would do a little more homework yes the viper is one of the best systems out I have over 80 out. the one you quoted is a bit pricey are you only looking for a 4 channel ? also the camera you currently have is 8 years old and is a Samsung.. Samsung don’t play nice with other systems as far as connecting a ring doorbell yes it can be done BUT again may not play well but the viper does now have an add on which will control all smart devices from ring to garage/ door control. And doing this way keeps the nvr under the new NDAA regulations …. Is this for home use

    can't get video on my phone question

    Some phones it works some don’t and that to do with the app …. It’s not been updated for years why do you use tinycam ? It’s a 3rd party China server app ….. do you use a dvr or nvr
  4. Hi. It looks like smart record is enabled. This is used to save space on hard drive.. basically your recording is lower res when no motion is detected and switches to high on motion detection as you can see in your video when the little Bunny 🐰 moves it’s high res. mare you recording 24/7 ? also you might want to turn up your pre and post record time … it looks like you have both set to 0 in your video

    New Dahua XVR5116H HDD alarm

    Hi. 34ford i think your problem is your hard drive…. If it’s been used for 8 years then it is at the end of its life with your new recorder …Ai -H265-audio-4K it’s a lot of data …. A hard drive of 8 years will look as if a format cleans it up we’re the fact is it does not ….. it only passes by the bad sectors and the more bad sectors make it hard to wright to. You can’t put a hard drive back to original it will always have data on it
  11. Hi. Can you give your location so as links given can be in your area also is your system used for domestic or a business

    Powerline CCTV.

    Something like this … but you will need a power supply for camera or use a Poe switch at camera end ( switch will power 4 cameras) https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PL1000-100UKS-Powerline-Ethernet-Homeplug/dp/B01BD9TFI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2U4QPD997NOCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qvm_gQ5Qeh4zIWqKJzeCuHkCulZ3PqCLnHGXSA1Ehc3C5P-t_FIXo1YEHJWYqO8_r1BMyuf-31Jqkri7rAEfzIij5RuXp7-OGvTdGoMUSVedYV2xRuh7Ji_bZHnYdFGAnNMr_ksy3u78YupWNhEnuf-JwPdw65F8bYS-6Pz6lcshNyAHGaFGGdLIyfclX2pknuglHxzdz4YxcqTkBXp4rw.dbe8pGwa4i5i7AseQMVb4DnjrBA6-dUudpqvZU0EXVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=netgear+powerline+1000&qid=1712609155&sprefix=netegear+power%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3

    Powerline CCTV.

    Hi when an over priced company lies to you then it’s a hint they have no clue powerline adapters have been around for years and IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY by them just buy a set of netgear powerline adapters and you have the same and work on any iP camera and don’t buy anything from that company they have listed 1 cam 1 nvr for £1.200 ($1.800) that has to be the most expensive one cam system in the world and that’s not fitted

    Recommendations for AI based NVR?

    Hi. As you can see from posts over 10 years ago I am not a fan of hikvision it’s always been clunky and out of date. where are you based ??? what functions of Ai are you looking at using with your system ? most Ai nvrs also need Ai comparable cameras so just swapping out your nvr is not going to help what is your budget ? I have been using TVT for over 8 years and I have not seen anything better as of yet and the Ai side works well and no extra costs
  20. Hi axis updated there app yesterday have you updated it yet
  21. Hi. One good system is the TVT … I have been using them for installs the last 6 years it also has one of the best apps available with full control over the system the only problem with that Swann system is the cameras won’t work on anything else how many cameras are you looking for and what type of property will be protected ?
  22. Hi this still depends if windows based of Linux based ……. Most Linux based DVRs only store the recorded data on the hard drive …… will still run without hard drive fitted but no storage
  23. Hi it depends on your DVRs operating system …. In your case it sounds like an old windows based …. In this case settings are stored on the hard drive…….. hard drive is split in two known as a partition… one part master (for settings and operating software……. And other part is storage (recordings ) usually found on geovision or avermedia
