    I've hijacked the video feed from a Commax intercom and fed it into a Vivotek TS8102 to run on a NUUO NVRsolo.

     

    Problem is, the camera is NTSC. And it appears that the TS8102 isn't displaying it properly despite me attempting to force the signal into NTSC.

     

    On the flip side, if I attempt to force a PAL camera into NTSC, then the image still displays properly, despite the settings on the encoder.

     

    I thought this might be an issue with the encoder but I replicated the issues with an old GV VS02.

     

    I'm in Aus so NTSC cameras aren't very common. I know the Commax cam is NTSC. Spec sheet is here. It's the CS http://www.sirius.kiev.ua/images/documents/instrukcii/domofon/Video_paneli/drc-40cs.pdf

     

    The Commax indoor monitor will only display NTSC

     

    Does anyone know how to solve this or know what the issue is?

    you cant run the geovision software w/o the card (unless something changed in the last few years, that is the last time i bought a new card).

     

    This is incorrect. Geovision NVR software will happily run without a DVR card (since it's designed to and has done for the past 8+ years).

     

    OP - Yes, you can install Geovision NVR software and run your Geovision IP cameras without need for a license dongle or DVR card (why they still use dongles I have no idea). However, if you want to use no GV products then you will need to purchase some licenses. None of the associated programs (playback etc) need a license to run, irrespective which cameras you use, but of course these are effectively useless without GV-NVR.

    Avigilon's H.264 and Pro camera have remote zoom/focus which is controllable from the VMS so you don't have to remember all of the cameras ip addresses and passwords. This saves lots of time. Also the cameras are auto discovered with you put them on the network. Again saves lots of time not have to search for cameras on the network. Basically it is a plug and play solution.

     

    Basically the pricing is the same as Exacq/NUUO minus the recurring yearly fees so in the long run it is a cheaper solution. If you want pricing please DM me.

     

     

    Without shooting you down, I've found a lot of cameras are auto discoverable also have auto focus assist and of course most come with smart setup so you can incrementally assign IPs to all your cameras. Also, when did NUUO start charging on an annual basis. They certainly don't here.

    I'd just finished installing 1 camera at a school and as I was setting it up on the DVR I saw a teacher do a hit and run on my car.

    Hope it was set up enough to record it!

     

    Yup. Even tried to deny it to the insurance company too until they were told there was CCTV footage.

    Hi there, try changing the usernames of the administrator and the checked boxes on the control center tab in the "password setup- local account edit" and try changing the ports you are using. hope this helps.

     

    Tried this, no dice

     

    Does the other services (remote dvr/ viewlog) work when triggered from control center?

     

    No service will connect. But as I said, CMS will see the DVR through its own findadevice tool and can pull all the camera names.

    built in speaker and microphone (unique).

    Not unique

     

    So my questions are really:

    1) What PoE network cameras do you suggest that could view upto 80m away relitivly clearly (and cost under £1,000 per cam)

    Most major manufacturer have full body and dome cameras that with the aid of lenses can easily and clearly view 80m. I'm using a 5MP to view 250m away. I'd suggest using megapixel.

     

    2) If they dont have audio out function built into them, what is the best way to get an audio output onto the site using PoE cameras. Eg. On analogue cameras you just go through a 1-4channel video/audio server or DVR. What is the equipment used for audo output with IP cams?

    Do you want to talk to people through the cameras? Or do you mean you want to record sound from the cameras. Again quite a few major manufacturers have cameras that have audio functionality. Vivotek is one of them.

     

    3) Can a single channel audio/video server (single analogue input) with network support host multiple network cameras in the internal software even though it says "single channel"? Basically i think im lookin for a poe switch type device with audio output functions that can host the cameras on its internal software.

    What? What internal software? For a CCTV project you will need a separate DVR/NVR to monitor this system. A switch is a network device and has no ability to host cameras. It is just a means to connect various IP devices together. If you're using network cameras, why do you need analogue inputs?

     

    Dependent on how urgent this job is for the customer, based on your last statement, I'd suggest you leave this to someone with more experience in this field. No offence to you, but if you're trying to find a switch to act as a DVR/NVR then you should sit back and do more research into how CCTV works before you undertake a job for a client.

    Ok so I have this problem.

     

    I've installed Control Centre 8.5.0 on 1 machine - Windows 7

     

    I have 1 GV1480 & 1 GV600

     

    I cannot get Control Center to connect to the DVRs period.

     

    Firewalls are down

    Running latest versions of software

    Can ping DVRs from CMS machine

    Can view DVR webpage from CMS machine

    Control Center will search and locate the DVRs and add them including all camera names

    all services are running

     

    But I cannot get any live view from the cameras. It doesn't even try to connect. As soon as I hit update host settings or try to live view, it instantly says Unable to Connect... it doesn't even try and I'm quite flummoxed
