    Client wishes to have HDMI output from NVR broadcast to five televisions in five on-site offices. I informed them they could monitor the NVR from their desktop PC, but they insist on having it viewable on the TV in each office.

     

    I researched HDMI splitters (StarTech/Monoprice), but all list a cable length limitation of about 15' ~ 20'. The offices are from 20' ~ 75' distant from the NVR.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Edit: The TV's are all connected to Comcast for regular viewing. Is there an HDMI modulator that works with digital cable?

    How about

    HDMI over Cat5

    lots of choices

    I monitor seven Avigilon servers using the Avigilon client. The IP address of one of the sites has changed. Each time I restart the client, the settings for that site have reverted to the old IP address. I have to re-enter the new IP address using Client Settings->Site Networking. How do I make the new IP address permanent?

     

    Best,

    Do you have a admin rights on the client computer? We have had this issues at one of our projects where the users don't have windows admin rights.

    Been fixed

    After 20 years you playing with Synology

    I feel sorry for you

    I guess there's not much love for Synology on this forum. It's a great NAS. Just not so much for surveillance (mainly because of the playback).

    I have several DVR's and NVR's collecting dust because they are either poor performance or poor security. Now that Synology supports Docker, I'm hoping one of the better software solutions will provide an image. I like that the Synology is "set it and forget it" as opposed to a dedicated PC or server.

     

    I'd really like to add and upgrade my cameras to HD or even 4K. I'm open to suggestions regarding a reasonably priced software/hardware solution (especially if I can leverage my NAS.)

     

    In my opinion

    very hard to beat Avigilon soft with HIK cameras

    Since my last question on how to use a PIR, I did a whole lot of searching and I can narrow down my question.

     

    Can someone please tell me where I can find a wireless PIR-sensor which sends a signal to a base station which I can in turn wire to a DVR?

    So to depict a clear picture:

     

    - I'd like to place 3 wireless PIR-sensors

    - the base station (= device that receives the signal from a PIR-sensor) should be able to identify which sensor has been triggered and wire that specific sensor's alarm output to an alarm input on a DVR

     

    Does such a system exist?

     

    Many thanks if you point me in the right direction.

    Because it's like 6 meters high and there is only one mounting and one ethernet cable. Difference in time is like an hour or so. Only difference is the lighting on this sign.

    Damn, I hate it when I try to make honest comparison test, standing on -10oC freezing my ass off and everyone is suspecting some kind of manipulation or marketing action

     

     

    Nobody suspecting manipulation at all

    we just ask you?

    Thx for demo

    Up til now any installation of HD analogue cameras has been pretty run of the mill domestic or small commecial. But I have a job upgrading an existing system of 42 cameras in a fairly large distribution warehouse. The existing system utilises some specialist cameras besides general overview of other areas. There are two NPR cameras running 60mm lens's for close ups of number plates from a mounting position 100m back from the gates. There are three used for item tracking on the loading conveyor system. These cameras are not only recorded but used in real time on a day to day basis. ie the number plates are manually logged and approved for entry to the site before the gate is opened. Therefore the digital zoom on playback is of little use , what is needed is a realtime close up view of the numberplates as they seek entry. (hence the 60mm lens)

    After doing a fairly comprehensive search of distributors in Australia , it seems the only choice of analogue HD cameras (CVI,TVI or AHD) is a fixed 3.8mm lens , a 2.8 - 12mm varifocal , not counting the ptz models. So it seems that a replacement in analogue HD is not available for anything above 12mm.

    So what I'm asking is - anybody know where I can get an analogue HD camera with a lens bigger than 12mm ?

     

    What about Hybrid system

    meaning IP and Analog

    Example: Avigilon Encoders and IP cam

    by the way Avigilon has Box IP 4-82 mm ( 2MP)

    I don't believe there will ever be peace in the Middle East, at least for a long time. What is needed is for the rest of the world to set up safe zones in the war torn countries the refugees are coming from. This will need to include the Euro countries.

     

    How about sent ALL of them to countries like

    Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates....

    They can easily afford
