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

Hi what happens if you remove a cables and also disconnect the hard drive…. Does it still boot up

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 are you talking of audio at the camera end ?
also what app are you using

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 is that image of day or night
-
Hi. Yes ie11 problems but also pano problems as they dropped support back in 2015 for your units …. So what ever money you put into existing system is a waste
depending on how many cameras and units you have it will be cheaper to upgrade and keeping existing cameras
what is it your protecting

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

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

Never buy hik from aliexpress…… all black market and copies. You will not have any hik support and a total waste of money

Hi how are the cameras powered ….one power supply or supply for each camera

Hi on your iPhone go to settings scroll down till you see SuperLive plus and check if mobile data and local network is on

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

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

Hi who is your broadband provider for your mobile data

Hi …… hikvision hide themselves under multiple names to hide the fact there crap
hilook is 100% hikvision just like dahua is 100% lorex ….. both are unders a lot of bans in multiple countries
so yes your existing cameras will work direct without onvif
-
Hi. You need to edit your user account on the dvr
under accounts you will see what actions you can do remotely…. It sounds like you only have permission to view one camera

Hi not on a 2014 camera

My question is will the NVR be able to see the ip cameras even though they are not directly attached to the NVR? They are on the LAN and the NVR has the ability to scan for ip cameras....
Any thoughts???
Hi so how are you turning the analog to iP cameras ???

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
