  1. Typically you hook up a powered CCTV mic to the camera itself. The camera actually encodes the audio to the video. You do not run rca back to the rca of the nvr for recording purposes in this instance.
  2. You didn't specify what brand of cameras you're using. Frankly I don't care for hikvision nvr's. I've never used one but I've never liked what I've read about them. They remain to be like some kind of hazy mystery. I personally like dahua nvr's if that's a possible choice. To each their own.

    Can't connect iDMSS remotely

    What's the deal there with your setup. If you have a modem/router and a router in line it gets complicated to the point that I don't know enough about how to bridge them for forwarding. What you have set thus for port forwarding and inputting settings looks to be correct.

    Using laptop monitor as an external monitor

    You need a monitor on a Dvr for initial setup. You can't administer it remotely without setting it up in the Dvr initially, hence a monitor on the Dvr. Once you setup everything, for the most part you can tweak things remotely and pull the monitor off the Dvr if you wish. I prefer to keep a monitor in line and always recommended people do so if possible.

    When you choose No-ip in the Dvr it will auto fill some things. Leave that, most especially what it auto inputs in the domain name and port 80. Your host name does not go there, nor does 37777. For the other fields, put in your No-ip ip information. Your username and password are what you actually sign into your noip account when you visit noip online. The domain name should be your custom No-ip address. In dmss, port is 37777 and user name and password is not the 88... password you use at the Dvr. It's the admin password, typically admin/admin if you haven't changed it.

    Using laptop monitor as an external monitor

    Even though that compact portable monitor looks very cool, I would suggest you grab a 19" on sale for the purpose. Dvr's and nvr's don't really support anything less than 17" monitors now, at least in my experience. I tried a 15" on a dahua Dvr and the dvr didn't know what to do with it- the screen was a hazy mess. Since most people use 19" as a minimum these days, it would also help the customer should they decide to put their own monitor on down the line. The Dvr will already be looking for one.
  7. There is a retailer in the US that carries what you want for 400. Can't mention the name here though. If you're in the states, it's a MUCH better way to go. But if you're loading up the nvr fully with 3mp cameras, this nvr may force low frame rates and resolution. It shows only 40mbps throughput. Unless of course the one I'm looking at is different than the one you seek.

    Go into main menu, setting, network, network setting which you may have to double click on to get onto, and then plug in your No-ip info.

    Look in the network menu, maybe the DDNS menu or something in there. Put your no-ip account info in there and enable it.
  10. I'm not at all clear how you want to integrate the Dvr and the nvr. You want the higher resolution of the nvr to be the primary recording. It will provide your best footage. Don't hobble it with lower resolution just because it needs more hard drive space for recording. Buy an nvr appropriate for your needs- one with the appropriate amount of hard drive capacity. Your plan seems backwards to me. If anything, the high resolution footage is the primary and the D1(or lower) footage is for secondary.
  11. I would recommend two 4tb drives. If you need to record full time because motion recording won't work, go with 8tb for sure. But it may be a problem recording anything. Not sure I would have gambled that one. Check it out ASAP and return if needed.

    Can't connect iDMSS remotely

    I believe you only need to concern yourself with forwarding the web port and TCP port for typical remote viewing. For dmss, you only need to put in 37777, your custom No-ip host name, your login in, and password. For web service online, you'll typically need to browse to your custom No-ip host name and if you changed port 80 in the Dvr and forwarded the new port, you'll need to include that on the end of you No-ip address with :81 for example, or whatever you changed it to. Also make sure you set and enable your Dvr to use noip as well.
  13. What Dvr do you have? Max the hard drive storage out and record sub stream too, on whatever channels you need.

    New PTZ Camera

    Do you need it in a concealed dome, and is IR needed? How much zoom is needed.?
  15. ^^Yep. I just bought the dahua 4208-8P from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IAZ3KRC/ref=s9_simh_gw_p421_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1WKPENA0Z004FEP553F8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846 I have only done a quick network set up and general set up and got one 1080p camera in line to make sure all is well. Next I will drop two 3tb purple drives in. It takes a max of two 4tb drives for 8tb total. The firmware is current to 4/14 and it came new in box. It will surely spank the hikvision in terms of horsepower, having the highest throughput I've seen at 200mbps. It's got typical dahua offerings on the back that I always consider a must, such as alarm in/out and 485. What's really remarkable is that I have an analog ptz that I still love, as well as having spent money last year for a dahua dvr. Instead of yanking that out, for the time being before I invest in an IP PTZ, I imported that ptz channel into an nvr channel and amazingly, I have full control of the ptz including menu. Importing other remote device units into the nvr is a seriously sweet feature, imo. I also like that remote device has more camera control now, so even though you have a camera hooked up to the internal poe, you can still tweak most all color/picture management, apply day/night period schedule, flip, mirror, etc. The GUI in these new units has a bit of a different look but it's still very familiar if you're a dahua user. But as milkisbad mentioned, all bets are off with 3rd party cameras behaving as you want, in spite of ONVIF, and that goes for the hikvision unit too I would think. That's a gamble. I'd sooner go strictly dahua cameras. There are SO many cameras from them and new ones coming down the pike all the time, personally I see no need to go with anything else. But because you have a bunch of geovision cameras, you'd probably be better off sticking with that brand for the nvr.

    video- watching the snow storm go by

    Lol, how does my old post resurface I wonder! Tough winter. That's an inesun ptz. Three years and still going strong.

    Openeye OE2 dvr and Android app setup

    They need to get with the program with mobile apps to cover all units they have, as well as update them in a major way.

    Well that's good about radius, but stinks about the phone. The app is lame really, but if phone/tablet is important to you, that's a drag. Hopefully the system is still okay for you.

    Openeye OE2 dvr and Android app setup

    Have you forwarded 2000 and 2002? Have a read and see if this will help you. Also if nothing else works, look in their firmware update files for your dvr. It may be that the firmware for your dvr needs to be updated to be compatible for viewing in the mobile app. In my experience, updating the E-series dvr from them was painless- very easy. http://www.openeye.net/products/software/mobile/ Also, don't be shy about calling them for support. They may help you even if you have a used unit. MDVR app is rather underwhelming. Try Radius as well- much better than IE but a bit more complex. http://www.openeye.net/support/software-updates/ http://www.openeye.net/products/software/radius/ A rather meager video demo of radius I did a while back- 38KxaGBJMeU
  21. What appears to be dahua's most throughput nvr at 200mbps is widely available and amazingly inexpensive. Does anyone know the 4200 series and have any opinions? http://www.dahuasecurity.com/products/nvr420842164232-8p-640.html

    Why is the dahua 4280 so cheap?

    Interesting. Well for an nvr, 200mbps is the best I've seen so far.
  23. shockwave199

    Why is the dahua 4280 so cheap?

    Well I guess I'm interested in what makes it "light"? The specs show it to be their highest throughput nvr @ 200mbps. Nothing light about that!

    No-ip setup with Hikvision NVR 7616

    Server address - dynupdate.no-ip.com Domain - your custom noip address User name and password are what you use for your account Try that. That's what it says in my dahua network setup.
