Yes I can see the end of the drive and there is power to the drive gates

Near York uk

Hi. With power at gates you can use a normal iP camera and send the data down your existing power supply …. Which is much better than wireless 

York nice place I am in Chester 

I would start doing homework on a system called the viper …. Nvr and cameras best remote viewing app works with most cameras I have not had a system fail yet

Hi. This is a discontinued unit and last support was 7 months ago

but that should not stop functions working unless nvr or cameras have had a software update

are you Poe camera to nvr or on a network

what cameras are you using 

and one of the main problems with that system was ports….. under network is your nvr using port 8080 …. If so change to 5550

and also change settings on pc application to match.

Hi. Wi-Fi on standard cctv is useless and never works plus most Wi-Fi cameras (smart cameras) need there own app to work

do you have power at bottom of drive ?

can you see bottom of your drive from house?

what part of uk are you in

Sorry for the delay,

I am in England and a buget of around £500 that could be increased for the right reason

Hi good budget. 
Are you in a town or village or rural area 

what area are you in ?

but your budget will get you a good system

full colour day night cameras and audio 

what are you looking for in a system

Hi a budget would be helpful so I can point you in the right direction for equipment 

what part of the world are you in ?

Hi getting IR to work through windows never works it just blinds out the camera 

switching IR off still leaves your IR filter in place unless you have something like a flood light outside of window

I want to upgrade to something similar to the Swann enforcer bullet type floodlite cameras but is there a better option out there?

Hi there is always a better option than Swann …. In your case it’s a hikvision/ hi-look

buying proprietary equipment is just a waste of money it’s always best to buy a system that is available to use most makes of cameras

what is your budget 

Hi 48v is the standard for Poe 

I have used these for over 5 years with no problems at all 

https://www.amazon.com/BV-Tech-Switch-Ethernet-Uplink-Function/dp/B075G2PM17/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_sspa?crid=UUTI4O9J2LZT&keywords=poe&qid=1697801514&sprefix=poe%2Caps%2C169&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

using this type of Poe gives you more options in the shed for more cameras including ptzs it also gives you options in the future if needing any other networking at the shed

or you can just go with a one channel Poe injector for 1 camera but more expensive going that way

Hi good idea to stay away from hik 

We’re are you based and how many cameras are needed

also what is your budget 

Hi the Amazon link I posted needs no setting up its plug and play 

then if you use a 4 way switch you can run 4 camera and 8 way switch gives you the option for 8 cameras or 4 or 8 of cameras or a mix of computers/ networked farm equipment 

for 4 cameras you need to setup like this 

shed 4way Poe switch ….. you need Poe switch as they power the cameras $30

then plug that into the receiver at shed 

at home you only need a standard switch 4 way $20

Hi it sounds like you have 3 phase for farm and single for home ….. the reason for 2 meters

power adaptors won’t help you but this is a cheap option with a Poe switch at camera end and normal 4 way switch at home area 

and connected together via this set

Hi is this a home ? And we’re are you located ?

are the sheds on your property 

Then I would use powerline adapters they are good for 300m if good ones

Hi. CPE is now commonly known as local network 

do you have power at both ends ?

Hi it depends on what country you are in 

hik for now is ok for domestic use but for business use I would check your country hik ban 

As far as camera’s turret is the best option as it covers most mounting tasks

bullet cameras can be moved easy or pulled down easy   Turrets are more secure 

Hi … xmeye are prone to hack and have been for a few years

if your cameras are still showing then just buy a new recorder…. 6 years for your last one also shows it will no longer have support

Ugghh, why do people do this 😫 😪 😒 😕 

Hi the only way someone can do this to your recorder is if you gave them your login 

your post is a bit confusing 

saying no connection with ispy ???

you have HD analog so only access to your cameras is via the dvr login

did you install the system yourself ?

What do you mean by the camera options moving 

Your pictures show camera menu and showing different options 

this means someone else has access to your system and they would need your login details on recorder or app

Hi what would your budget be and how many cameras are needed and your location

Once on this platform it only works on it 

smart cameras ARE NOT CCTV 

Danale Equipment I would just put in the bin why people buy this cloud equipment without reading the terms and conditions 

why on earth would anyone buy a camera were one of the terms of use is to track your cell/ mobile via longitude & latitude why let china see your everyday movements and see all traffic on your cell/mobile 

so much for security when your giving away all your personal details and private data

buying Danale you buying a problem

and no you can’t add hik or dahua software to make your camera better … just don’t buy smart cameras BUY CCTV

I want to buy two outdoor cameras for my Samsung SDE-4001 surveillance system, including two (2) 75’ cords

Hi. First question is why ??? …. It’s a 15 year old system …. One of the first h264 systems on the market 

cameras are proprietary rj45 connection (not network cameras) they are only analog with power and you can’t buy them anymore and can’t use another camera

cif recording is old resolution and pointless 

The 1093/008h is an old unit it’s not worth doing anything with ….. came out in 2009 and support ended 2016

its 14 years old with cif recording and proprietary software ….won’t work on pc anymore.

PDA viewing tells you its old Java and Symbian support……. The licences will also of ran out

they have put you off by saying there is a charge for password software because it’s not worth it

The upgraded NVR is at my other property. I will take a photograph of that playback screen next time I am there and then post it on here.

So you don’t have access through out this post to the recorder with the problem

so you haven’t looked into systems record mode or record schedules 

Hi this is a problem with a lot of software companies like Speco…. To move forward with being NDAA compliant no updates are given for none compliant camera manufacturers such as hik and dahua

the only person I know on the forum who has recently had Speco problems is videobruce it might be worth to dropping him a pm

Wow ….. such an easy fix 

let’s go through your pictures 

your picture at front of building ONLY SHOWS motion in window and door area 

Yellow green blue red …. Is standard across the industry …… it’s the same as traffic lights … same all over the world 

blue is continuously there is no motion as recording is set to 24hr

this is done via settings in recording or in schedule recording (which overrides) manual settings…. So check schedule and clear them all

Hikvision have not done away with motion detection markers on play screen
