    Hi  the one your dad bought will run just dvr only 

    this link will be for cameras only

    Dad just checked the cameras and you are correct there not red🤣🤦🏻‍♀️. Dad have had it set up like that for 2 years now with no problem. So is this setup dangerous 😳? . Right what do we need to do next please Tom, as in what do I need to purchase to get it working again

    Ok then you need to order another power supply 

    I have picked this one because it’s easier to install 

    all you need to do is unplug the black leads from the red plugs and plug in the new ones from this kit and you should be ok to go

    you also get a plug adapter with this kit but you don’t need it

    just plug 4 red into the 4 new black and the other end of the pig tail goes direct into new power supply lead

    Direct to the dvr 

    Then that is your problem 

     

    it sounds like who ever installed your system cut corners …. A bad corner at that

    all analog systems must have two power supplies one that should power dvr only and another to power cameras only

    but it looks like your installer cut corners and only used the one that came with the dvr and split the power between dvr and cameras which is not good

    a quick test is to go outside now (as it’s dark) and see if the cameras glow red

    (They won’t be)

    Also in one of your screen images in your first post it shows ahd in the centre… your camera picture only shows standard analog

     

    on your monitor screen you need to change format …. Do this….. on monitor screen next to cam number (bottom left) on every camera press the little white square with your mouse

    each time you press wait a few seconds on each push of square … it should change ahd to tvi to cvi to cvb …… see if any image starts to show

    Hi. I am hoping that someone out there knows how to get a Panasonic WJ 316A to boot up?

    Previously it worked but i have tried to access some footage and it will not do anything except turn on and the green light on front turns on and thats it!

    Is it possible to read the hard drive externally? how would i do that?

    Any advice for a frustrated Australian would be greatfully received.

     

    Hi. Depending on how important the footage is ……. Your looking at a 21 year old cif recorder

    you will need a hard drive reader that uses a IDE drive that’s your first cost 

     

    then if you get that far without being ask to format ….. you need to search 4 partitions on the drive……. Partition 3 will have the files on that you need …. Partition 4 will have backup and file player ……. But that’s your next problem ….. they won’t run on newer pc as the licence will have run out …… sometimes resetting time and date on your pc to something like 2006 @12.00pm

    its not going to be cheap and very time consuming …. Also footage is cif and not very clear so might not be any good for legal use

    Hi all installed 3 hilook colour vue and power suply with baluns and cat 5,the power has a 4 way spliter,im only geting picture from 2 cams 3rd cam was melting balun at dvr,checked that i didnt mix up power and video and all was correct,

    Hi powered baluns are your problem … I would swap them out for normal baluns

     

    the reason why

    power baluns don’t use all remaining cores for power which effect’s camera power 

    standard baluns only need 1 pair for image … you then spit the other pair’s for positive and negative power…… I would also use another power adapter…. Two on each and the reason for this is if you have a faulty camera it does not take them all out

    Hi it depends on what part of the world your in and the environment statement set by your area

    enviromental fee in some areas and what products can’t be passed on to a customer as it’s designed to reduce plastics that company uses 

    imports of goods in plastic boxes or bags and also covers foam packaging …. All of which could of been packed in something more environmentally friendly 

    I would research plastic tax in your area

    basically it’s a tax on plastics a company uses to reduce the tax they change to better packaging ….. it’s not right they should pass on that charge to a customer so they can pay that tax

    I note your comment on the voltage drop over 5mts+, if used over 5+ mts assume instead of a USB hub connected adjacent to a PC/Device you would need to then hop onto IP with POE to continue the run, with one of these:
    5V PoE Splitter, 48V to 5V 2.4A Adapter with Micro-USB Plug, for IP Camera

    Why on earth do it that way ….. now your looking at injectors costs and also having to keep a pc on …… since your looking at injectors at each camera …. Why on earth not just use iP camera instead

    but again another problem usb data from camera …. What do you think that data distance is ?

    also I’ll point out all your links are to usb WEBCAM devices. …… don’t get them mixed up with cctv

    Seems odd ELP have replaced most of there IP with USB cameras then, most CCTV camera would have runs of 5+ mts. In what circumstances is it favourable to have a USB camera over say an IP camera.

     

    No it’s not odd ELP want access  to every pc you plug there devices into which is a stupid thing to do and the url has a lot more warnings than two infact it’s blocked on most isp …. Not just your uk link (which it’s not) but even there main url is blocked 

    so there is another warning as you have already seen yet your ignoring it

    even your camera link is junk as it’s for a black and white camera only ( monochrome)

    hey used to be supplied with RJ45 connection, but now come with USB, would you connect multiple cameras to one PC using a USB hub/splitter:
    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254726391408


    did you notice the url website warning with the camera website …. Even my isp blocked your link….. iP track shows domain uk but infact from China and is classed as data theft site

     

    but again you have come onto a cctv forum that can help you yet you don’t want to learn the basics

    usb cameras are just the same as webcams or pc mouse or keyboards and external hard drives…….. they plug into usb hub local to pc 

    thinking you can run cctv cameras over say a distance of 5 meter and above your going to loose the 5volt power that is max on usb

    Hi you mention DVR or is it a nvr iP cameras

    to save hard drive space the best place to start is looking at needing 4K in every location ….. you could set some of your cameras to 4 or 5mp 

    also motion record only and setting the sensitivity down and also look at your pre and  post recording time 

    what system are you using ….. cloud recording you are best setting up your own instead of paying someone else as it’s very expensive
