    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

    I know that when I tell someone my budget they usually tailor their costs to use it all up.  I have no idea if the upgrades will be £500 or £5,000 which is why I am making enquiries here.  I know I will have to pay a professional to set things up which is fair enough but I dont have a clue on the hardware costs. 

    Hi the reason why I ask your budget is members spend a lot of time helping other only to find they want 4 cam system with a budget of £200 including fitting

    ok you quote a good budget … infact too high

    i would start with replacing your dvr first and I recommend a 8 way dvr and one of the best on the market at the moment is a 5 in 1 which means it will run any camera available and that is around £275 it runs on SuperLive plus app so you have full control over your mobile for viewing anywhere 

    ptz cameras are around £320 but has good night vision and a zoom range of 1/2 mile day and night

    static cameras 5mp colour day and night high def start from £55

    as far as professional to setup once your shown once you will do rest yourself

    I can only assume the system is running Linux of some type, but the HDD seems to have its own filesystem because even my Linux machine can't recognize the filesystem format, and its got support for almost any filesystem you can imagine. 

    Hi you are right ….. do you not have access to the recorder ?

    you will have a problem if this footage is to be used for court ……only native files can be used in court not altered files …. Signature and watermark must be available 

    why do you need 2tb of footage

    Hi. I would recommend not going ptz on all cameras…. There is a high risk of missing footage

    i would look at keeping your existing ptz cameras and adding static cameras around the areas …. So I would look at a 8 way dvr 

     

    what is your budget…. What part of Yorkshire are you in  ?

    Hi. Nice post …been a long time since I delt with concept pro I used to use all the time 

    dvr is a old concept your first pic of ptz is a sunkwang (manufacturer of concept) and was fitted a long time after dvr was installed as it’s a lot younger and your other ptz is a 12inch VCL ….. both very good cameras and work for ever

    The good news is modern dvr units don’t get connected to alarm systems anymore as the alarm side is built in to new recorders …. This will allow you to use the existing cables to add extra cameras

    i would also look at either a 4 or 8 camera system depending on size of your property 

    what part of uk are you

    Hi yes I understand what your saying which is why I asked the questions and especially the one about the app

    first you do not have a cctv system …. You have the controversial XMEYE China crap

    its a China smart system you have under the name of icsee ( created 15-1-2022) to hide the fact it’s a xmeye system

    you should or read the terms and conditions before buying that system …. You can’t disable any audio as it’s part of the user contract

    instead of buying something for security for your home … you now have phone tracking… web tracking on all your devices on the network …. You also get tracked via your mobile phone even away from your system 

     

    here are the terms and conditions for that icsee app

    Hi. I will pm you a sellers details in USA 

    the reason why I surgest this unit is because it takes any camera available today upto 5mp but it also has the best app on the market for monitoring and it will also give you full control on your camera from anywhere 

     

    looking at your pictures it also has alarm outputs/inputs 

    we’re are you going to install this camera

    Hi what part of the world are you in

    you don’t need an expensive one but I would go with a 4in1 5mp

    can you also post a picture of the wire connections …. I think by memory that is powered by 24v ac power supply

    What does that mean?

    Hi at time of post your picture in both posts were not listed … they came 3hrs later …. As you can see in the quote button I used your picture was not there. 
     

    but to answer your question….. you have a very expensive camera …. It is either a pelco or a flur high zoom ptz with ir…. Usually used for high security locations or on ships

    you would only need a dvr recorder to use that camera

    Hi,

    I'm trying to update this DVR and I don't know if the recorder if compatible with DS-7204HVI-SV/ST version firmware and I don't want to risk it before I have a FIRMWARE for this model....

    do you know if it's possible to make a dump of current firmware?

    thanks

    Hi….. for a dvr that’s  over 12 years old it would also need hardware for the new software…. So no it can’t be updated

    Hi guys , 
    I have a hickvision box and was looking to add some cameras . I believe I have bought the wrong type of cameras ☹️
    Box is DS7600 nvr
    Cameras are DS-2CE72HFT-F28
    I can’t return the cameras as bought privately . 
    They do not have a cat 5 connector. 
    Will I have to sell them and buy new cameras or could these work ? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi it would make more sense to swap the nvr for a 5mp dvr ….. save you a lot of money
