    What makes you think they may be discussing anything illegal?

    If you are suspicious of who is coming in then you should get a different real estate agent that you can trust

    or be there at EVERY viewing.

    I really fell for THAT one didn't I?

    Baud rate is usually associated with communications RS232 RS485 like on a PTZ camera and it's set a the device end so the DVR must match.

     

    What I was referring to is the Bitrate which you will find under the encode menu

     

    VBR is variable bit rate

    CBR Capped Bit Rate

    Use Cat6 cable (duct grade) solid copper UTP (unshielded) with proper Cat6 RJ45s to prevent potential crosstalk issues Join to the cameras inside IP rated junction boxes and make sure that you can get the connectors into the box through the apertures / gland holes. You may have to modify the boxes a little to get the benefit of waterproofing your connections.

    The cat6 connector on the left has staggered conductors which are staggered using a loading bar also the IDC teeth

    are half longer and half are shorter The cat5 on the right all conductors are on the same level.

    CORRECT SETTINGS

     

    DHCP: (checkbox) checked

     

    Correct settings should be with DHCP disabled (that is, unchecked).

     

    And use 192.168.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 as DNS servers.

     

    That is unless you can reserve the DVRs IP in the DHCP (reservation table) which will reduce the chances of IP conflicts, then it won't matter if it's selected or not but frankly it IS better to leave DHCP unchecked (or on some DVRs select static) as advised (Not all routers will allow you to reserve an IP address to a specific device)

    The only way to resolve firmware issues are to reload the correct firmware or a correct upgrade firmnware from the actual manufacturer

    It is Unlikely you are going to track that down and if you do load the wrong firmware kiss your DVR goodbye. The only thing you'll be able to salvage is the HDD and the experience to buy from a well supported manufacturer not some here today gone tomorrow supplier from a city you can't even pronounce.

    Try your cables both BNCs and power cable terminations. At the dVR end simply move them about and inspect them closely

    Look for efflorescence (salt corrosion) at the camera end either on the connectors or in the cables.

    Inspect the camera to see if water or moisture has infiltrated (unlikely)

     

    If your camera is supplied exclusively by a single power supply swap it out with another to see if the problem moves to another camera.

    Keep a record of all the things you try which will help you in eliminating the fault eventually.

    WHY is it connected to your computer?

    You should just connect to your network (router) and connect to your computer across the network using the DVR's LAN address.

    You can go to http://www.portforward.com for comprehensive instructions of how to port forward your router

    listed by make and model number.

     

    You will also have to deal with the question of is your broadband dynamic or static, chances are it's dynamic, then you are going to need a DNS account. Good Luck...

    If your existing wiring is Cat5 and baluns then the obvious choice will be HD CVI as it can use either coax or standard analogue baluns but again if the cat5 is poor quality eg CCA or CCS you will suffer from poor signal then a rewire again with pure copper.

     

    I have not seen the Dahua range of HD CVI (don't ask what it stands for I'll only have to look it up again) but I have heard they are VERY acceptable and as you'd expect reliable too.

     

    But Which one to choose, CVI or TVI ????????????? good luck

    Set the DVR to static un-select DHCP and give the DVR a local IP of 192.168.0.(100-200)

    Turn UpnP off in the router and apply

    then on the superhub go to advanced and choose DHCP> DHCP Reservation and reserve the address to that device.

    Go to Port Forwarding and create rules and allocate to the DVRs IP address .ie. 192.168.0.(100-200) and apply

    go back to upnP and turn on and apply

     

    Your ports should now report as open

    A single pair for video white stripe+ve solid colour -ve

    Then take the remaining pairs and separate into whit stripe and solid color and use to carry the DC Power.

     

    My convention is everything that is white with a color stripe is +ve

    everything with a solid color is -ve.

     

    The fact that you are using a single pair for power means there is not enough power getting to the cameras

    this MAY be your problem but it will certainly need correcting before you can move toward a solution.

    If you have 2 DVRs on a single network range, before port forwarding the Draytek you should reserve the IP address of BOTH DVRs

    I also notice you have the same RTSP port on both devices. One port serves one device only. It's like two fat ladies trying to get through the same doorway only onewill succeed
