Well obviously your two streams are going to be different, your recording is at H264 1080P is going to look a lot different than you VGA Mjpeg stream.

Sure, if you like black and white rolling images

You got the wrong lens for a sensor of that size. Try getting a better lens to match the size of the sensor.

Some IP cameras have a composite video out, if yours doesnt than use a laptop or use your smartphone

It can stream from the Geovision IP cameras directly but not from the NVR itself

Does it do that without the Veracity EoC?

I thought it was available already, but i guess not yet. Sony has a 200.00 google media player available but i think that is kind of pricey. I had mine Sony integrated google tv for almost 2 years now. You can find the logitech revue for pretty cheap under 100.00. It does support the android marketplace to download apps but the selection is still limited at the moment.

Vizio has a device called a CoStar for $99.00. I have an integrated google sony TV that i use to stream live using my ip cameras using an app called Tiny Cam Monitor. There are many other Google TVs out there too

Try using a different port.

That looks normal to me considering the amount of light you have. If you dont want to add lighting go with an IR camera. Because the camera you have is using a combination of DSS, DNR and higher gain to achieve that.

Dial up still exists? If you can get 3g/4g service than it is possible with that modem

Most cameras are are worthless in the dark.

If you still cant find it in the DHCP tables, you can limit the range to five devices and do trial and error from there for example 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.105

Are you able to ping it and bring it up on the web page? Or is it just not connecting to your server?

Can it do iphone and android? Aren't most of the standalones doing all that now

Maybe it doesnt support any other browsers but Internet explorer

It also depends if you are doing live viewing or not. Live viewing consumes a lot of CPU power. You can do recording of 64 x 5MP cameras on a high end CPU, but once you throw in live viewing it will not even come close to that.

When the cameras were dropping off are you still able to access the web page of the cameras and ping them?

Use the password of "12888" and go to utilities to do a system recovery and after that the password should be back to a default of "123456"

The Pixims are really good in WDR enviroments. I actually like them better than double scan ccds for that purpose. Especially the newer Pixim Seawolfs because the first generation Pixims were terrible in low light.

Under 60 dollars???

Try focusing it at night

IP Cameras usually use more bandwidth because of the higher resolution.

Go IP and have each floor have its own PoE switch for the cameras. NVR Should be able to handle those many cameras. Storage options depending on your preference you can do internal raid or do NAS recording

Or maybe it is soooo good that it is showing flaws in your cameras.
