    Hi the problem with 4K and SD card storage only is the amount of data …… a day or so storage is pointless especially if you go away for weekend or on holiday

    it is better to have at least 2weeks storage to look back on

    cctv is not just for crime it also helps in other ways like disputes with parcels being delivered  was it delivered or stolen also helps if someone else in the street has damage done to there cars …… it’s always good to view recordings going back more than a day or so

    many of my customers like seeing the wildlife around there property…… cats playing with hedgehogs…. Foxes  and a customer sent me a picture of a albino badger and they are very rear in the uk

    Hello everybody,

    I have come here to learn as I am considering installing a CCTV system around my home but have never had one before. Been lurking a while, seems a good place to learn 😀

    Hi. Good to see your going to do some homework first

    as far as the install goes with equipment today it’s easy and you will probably like the experience 

    I was in Boston in November servicing a system

    A lot of times, I see members here talking about doing their own installation but what most do not know is that there are certain factors that like us at Encinitas Home Security do for our clients - 100% perfect installation which results in a lifetime of home security.

    Load of crap ………anyone can take pride in their work …….. a home owner knows his home structure better than you

     

    but if your so good why do you need to spam ?   You should have orders for most of this year …….spamming says your not and also not the best

    just looked at you domain name …… it was only purchased in October 2022

    99,cents for 1 year runs out November 2023

    it was $10 for 10 years

    And on Facebook cctv installers page they rank hikvision in the top 3 best makes

    This is the problem when people believe everything from hikvision sellers 

     

    instead of Facebook do a search on worldwide hikvision ban  …. Your uk …… so banned in some situations and now looking at no large data by isp could ban

    you should read the terms and conditions when loading the app

    people buy security for protection but hikvision take so much of your personal information and your contacts information and then you allow them to track your mobile phone (if app installed on it) even if your 1000s miles from your home cameras hik track you ……. Your data is more important as it’s valuable to them

    Hi I have an aging DVR Adata Apollo (8ch) currently running 2.606.AD00.0 build date 02/02/10 looking for a firmware update. Its stopped recording, I remover the HDD and it works fine in a PC. Hoping a firmware update may fix it

    Hi firmware won’t help at all and not available anyway. 
    moving hard drive onto your pc will work as it will format and use different sectors 

    insert and new drive into your dvr and let dvr format it 

    DVRs are cheap I would replace your old dahua lite unit

    Hi there are a few things but your description sounds like your internet has been logged onto ….. there are devices that allow people to log into Wi-Fi that is not there’s 

     

    I would start by asking your service provider to change your network (external iP) address 

    also in many routers now you can schedule Wi-Fi to switch off ……. Your system will still work and have internet access 

    you also have the switch Wi-Fi off remotely with your cell phone or pad

    there should also be in your router log a black list option under connections  were you can block log on iP address that you don’t recognise or logging in at unusual times

    if you find on your router IP address you don’t know PM them to me and I’ll locate them for you

    You could use a software program to change the resolution of your camera on the fly, without having to go through the hassle of changing it every time you want to take a picture.

     

    You are very right ……. But it has a name 

    SuperLive plus

    Hi. After seeing your pic of power supply I would also say yes …. That looks like a 12v 4 amp power supply which is well under powered for the cameras you have 

    also don’t replace with another brick type power supply as problems effect your whole system instead of 1 cam fault 

    this is what you should be using because it supplies the right amps to each of your camera ….. 4 or 5 amp power supply is not good for 5 cameras ….. 1.5 amp x 5 = 7.5amp

    no pro would use the brick type with pig tail leads

    Hi the good old pioneer….. good units I have lots out 

    first thing to look at is in resolution or camera setup you will see a button for PAL and NTCS

    it needs to be on PAL for the uk ….. that’s your first place to look 

     

    you could also have a camera that is going bad …….. unplug one camera at a time and see if anything changes

    can you post a picture of the camera power supply

    Hi it’s ok to answer questions ….. it helps you save money as you learn

    With you having analog cameras (your ptzs) 5 in 1 gives you all formats 

    analog ——tvi——cvi—-ahd——and iP 

    going 4K is a little overkill all it does is use up your hard drive space 

    your dvr at the moment is max 960 tvl a new dvr at 5mp is all you need  

    I will pm you a dvr 

    also while your searching for a dvr don’t look at hikvision or dahua in the uk they won’t have a long life span
