Working with a company like SEOTwix can be a great way to improve your online visibility and attract more customers to your security company.

$2000 monthly subscription……. No wonder you need to spam websites 

I see you only started 2 years ago with a budget website …… which is odd and then you only buy a 99 cents domain name for 5 years ……. Looks like you don’t expect to be around long

Hi what is your budget

So you have power and internet at both locations 

while using 12v at camera end (12v what amp ?)

what voltage are you getting at dvr end coax ?

Have tried a separate 12v ps in the camera, and still no joy - measuring 12v when plugged in

That would not help …. Your original power supply may have been set to 14v ….. it’s adjustable 

12v 0.5 amp can’t work at your distance 140 meters to run a camera ….. it is not possible 

you don’t seam to be looking at amps 

as far as your ohm readings …. It’s pointless 

you will get different readings down to make of cable … how attached 

this is a 75ohm terminator that you put on one end of coax and then ohm test for 75ohm

now for the distance your talking about ….. cat5 with baluns should of been used  

as far as power supply  I would go 24v then knock down to 12 at camera end 

and another give away is the camera you have at 190meters is poor …… which also should be done in cat5

Ok 12v 5amp total 🟰 0.5 amp each

this is pushing you power to the limit if not over

12v 0.5amp can not go 140meters (450ft)

voltage and current drop 

but that power supply is adjustable and you can get 14v out of it  which is why it worked 

and it’s not allowing that voltage anymore …. You can try altering the voltage again by turning up the yellow voltage pot  indicated we’re it says 12 adj (hole next to it)

but you are under powered and you always have been for 140 meters

are you in the uk

Hi this is more likely to be a power problem 

what amp is your 12v power supply

Anyway, anybody got an answer for my original question from March 5th ???

Hi what is your coax running … camera feed or dvr feed to your monitor

doing ohms test will show nothing you need a bnc 75ohm resistor plug at one end

but 450ft of coax and power will not run anything at that distance

I detached the video cable from both ends, united the earth braid, and moved in with my partner at one end. I went to the other end and checked the reading with an ohms meter across a distance of around 280 meters (2x140 meters), and it was 15 meters. Is that what you would anticipate across that cable run, then?

 

All this to post a signature ADD 

you don’t even have a clue how to use a multimeter 

Hi sounds like the output resolution has been set too high for your monitor/tv

do you have a 1080p monitor ? If you do and it’s not showing cameras then you might have set res to 4K

Still looking for recommendations. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Hi sorry been working last few days 

I would look at a TVT system it’s reliable and will last years also it has the best app available for a nvr …. Gives you full control of cameras and nvr and also remote reboot

the app is SuperLive plus

what part of the US and I’ll try find a store

somewhere I read that I need go in /mnt/mtd/config/ and delete some UserConfig file

If you delete user files then it’s bricked 

you have to also take into account that this unit is D1 recorder and is over 16 years old 

this is the login details

But when I shared the device using the QR code my wife can see all the live camera and control it, but the option to review recordings in the cloud isn’t on the screen, but I can see it on my app

Hi…… unless you pay then only your device has cloud access 

these are not cctv cameras and as you see there only $30 but the cloud cost once you go for over 7 days it starts to get expensive 

I don’t understand why people buy these after reading the terms and conditions 

also did you inform family and friends the data collected from there devices before you added them 

both extra recordings(over7days) and cloud (more than 1 person) needs you to go on monthly subscription and they don’t guarantee your footage 

you don’t need subscription for cctv 

Hi we’re are you based and how many cameras do you have now and how many are you looking at upgrading too

if your buying a nvr now is the time to buy for the amount of channels you want

if you give a location I’ll find links for you

Hi. It’s unusual for someone to take the pc or nvr and leave the cameras …. So you are a winner 

if there still working and touring you might find last owner has access if internet is still available

these cameras also carry a onboard SD card …. Buy removing the card and installing into a pc will give you the details for that camera ….. name …… local iP …. Which is a good start for resetting 

I would also only do 1 cam at a time as they are still recording to the sd card giving you protection (about 2 days of recording) 

I would go with a nvr that supports axis cameras which is the cheapest option 

Hi. How long have you had them retail now is $370 … 4way ….. 2way $260

also can I point out a problem 

why is the system protected by a 60amp c type MCB …… so has no protection

Relax theres a number of default passwords and manuals all over the internet. I’m not trying to crack into someone’s old system. 

Not of default passwords ……. It’s a simple keyboard operation it’s only 3 digits 

If your reply was something like ….. I just got it secondhand  or given it then I would of sent you the code

but just asking for UC and not explain why….. the UC is a code used everyday so you can’t have forgotten it……… yes it’s 10 years old  but still used

2 minutes ago, Samoa007 said:

My keyboard is displaying UC- from what I’ve gathered it’s requiring a user code. Is there a way to get past this to access the menu? Like a default user code? 

Hi most controllers have this function and is programmable from a few minutes to hours it stops unauthorised operation on the cameras 

giving a generated password on a forum would be a unreasonable action 

if it’s your controller or your the administrator then you should know the set code anyway

Hello Tom.

You are a star***** I ignored the request to enter my old password as you suggested and filled in my new password twice. and that did the trick.

It was driving me crazy, Hopefully You won't hear from me again

Once again many thanks.

Charlie  

Thank you Charlie ….. this is what the forums for. clad we could help

Simple things that should be in the manuals but never are 👍

 I get a box with enter old password then enter new password twice.   

Hi yes that’s right ……….we’re it asks to enter old password leave blank and enter your new one in box below and confirm same password  in next box

I am using the blank password but this leaves the system unprotected.

Hi if you’re using the null password then that is the setup password. You should have access to the menu 

Hi so am I 

so you have paid over £300 for the Samsung and it’s just a standard 5mp camera 

qnap does support most cameras but the problem is a lot of ptz are software based for tracking ….. a lot have there software on the nvr for the ptz tracking so you should be looking for ptz with software onboard it’s more reliable and much better qnap supports over 90% of either

but for the money your talking of I would look at smart tracking I’ll pm you a video of one 

Hi we’re are you based ???

Yes you have support so that’s rubbish 

this makes no sense at all …….

Camera - PTRZ is not PTZ
 

writen at the top of there page yet at the bottom you read this

The PTRZ function is controlled with the virtual joystick and can be maneuvered 360 degrees.  The forward and backward arrows will rotate the lens clockwise and counter-clockwise. The Auto Roll will allow the camera to adjust the rotation of the camera to a balanced view.
 

so it’s mis sold as it has ptrz in the description

so you have been missold a camera

now many companies give a made up name for adjustment it used to be call axis setup but just means you manually setup its field of view 

so basically you have a static camera that will never be a ptz so you can’t use it as one

samsung equipment is overpriced Hanwha has changed its name twice because of there mistakes 

now price of that camera you have …… is well overpriced…. You could have bought a real ptz camera with all you’re looking for ….. a lot less

but fight them for miss selling …… it is listed as a ptrz …….. there discription says not ptz yet same page says ptrz is a ptz

Ok you will fry the cpu if you don’t change that fan 

also remember the cooling paste 

Hi they were not sold with cable management boxes …. It’s the same with most manufacturers 

you could make your own or buy a multi fit box like this one … and it fits the bosh
