    If memory serves me right, the last one's that I installed were $85,00 600(LOR) Luxor's from "closeoutcctv". The denomination amount was readily visible at that short of distance (about 4') and that's what they were after. They weighed the "money to quality of video" and were happy with what they settled for. One of the camera's that I had them try was a more expensive vari-focal which gave a closer view, but they settled for the Luxor.

    I've used anything and everything from the "cheap-o's" to some of the better one's with the apx. the same distances that you're talking about. They all worked well in determining both facial recognition and specific currencies being conducted at the counter and drawer. Of course with the cheap one's you generally only have a choice of 3.6 and 6 lens'. Using the 6 is the better of the two. We did get better video of the currency details by dropping the camera's to about 7' off the floor. May not work for everybody and all cases, but the above worked ok for us. If you have plenty of money, opt for a more expensive camera and lens difference for more of a "zoom" and resulting detail.

    Any of the channel 3 combiners available. The Tru-Spec SC-3 is an example. To emulate what our customers have in their homes, I used a splitter connected to our antenna to split the signal into two path's. One of them goes to the "ANT" input to the combiner directly. The other one goes to a "digital to analog converter unit" and the output of that goes to the channel 3 input of the combiner. As a result, I have an analog 3 and digital signals combined into one line. Then when you go into the menu of the tv, you have several choices to scan for active channels. There is "cable (which is the analog for the output of a cable box)", "tv (which is antenna" and "auto-select" which allows the set decide. The last one is what we select and the set then automatically picks up digital and analog. Now if you have an active channel 3 digital, this won't work, but in our area that's not an issue. Work's great!

    I've been in the TV service business for 50 years and digital or not (In America) and at my shop, I program televisions to receive analog channel 3 and digital combined into one line that feeds our whole tv shop. Any of the newer digital TV's that we hook to one of our outlets, is auto-scanned and they pick up analog channel 3 and all of the digital channels that are available. That allows our customers to have their cable converter and digital antenna system connected at the same time. Access channel 3 and watch all of their cable channels through their cable converter and leave channel 3 for digital channel 8-1 or whatever. Just did it this evening with a new Sanyo LCD TV that came in for service with an audio problem.

    I'm just shooting in the dark here, but,,,,,,,

     

    Since, it is the same issue whether or not, one or the other is hooked up first. My first thought would be possibly, a ground loop issue. The only way to prove that is to insert a ground loop isolator in line with the TV out line to start. If that doesn't cure the problem, then insert it in one of the other input lines. Like I say, just hard to say, but it appears that it has to that or a defective combiner.

     

    Sorry, that I can't be more specific

    Need more specific info. Is the DVR and Cable system combined with an actual "channel 3 or 4 combiner" or just a splitter?

     

    Going in another direction, If that's the case, then what output from the DVR are you using? Does the DVR have a channel 3 or 4 rf output? Or, does it output "video" only? What does the output connector on the dvr that you are using say?

    Not an issue. You can either get BNC connectors to fit the RG6 directly or use F fittings for the RG6 and install F to BNC adapters. Dependent upon length you can use the CAT6 for the DC to the camera's. Parallel up the wires necessary to supply the DC to the camera, with a maximum of a 10% loss in voltage. They make "pigtail" adapters that you can connect to the CAT6 wires, that have connectors on the other end to match the camera's and camera power supply. Male at the camera end and female at the power supply end.

    New to this forum, but not new to Technology. Have been in Video/Audio service since I was 14 years old (70 years old as this post). Have had my current service shop at our current location since 1976. Been in CCTV for apx 15 years. Martial Arts instructor since 1985 which includes physical tactics for Law-enforcement. Retired from a 10 year stint in Security/Operations for a retail company. All that said, I learn something new almost everyday and this forum proves that point. Glad to be here.

    I'm sure that you have already double checked everything that you can think of, but,,,,,,

     

    Double check the "admin/admin" as correct. If someone else installed the system, they might have changed the default username/password to something else.

     

    Double check that the "gateway" address (192.168.1.1) is right in the DVR software.

     

    Change the "192.168.1.10" manually to "192.168.1.100"

     

    Double check the HTTP port. It is generally defaulted to "80". Change it to "81". On some online systems there is a conflict with port 80.

     

    May not help, but that's all that comes to mind right now.

    How many other computer's, etc. are running on your network that the DVR is attached to? I had a similar issue with a site, where we were running 3 DVR's, a server with 3 terminals, two computers, cable tv, 3 credit card terminals, free wi-fi and phones. Sometimes when remote viewing, I ended up with the same issue as you. Tried it at night when the business was shutdown and no longer had the problem. Just not enough bandwidth during the day.

    You have probably already figured out your issue, but if not, here's a suggestion.

     

    Open a browser and access: whatismyip.com

     

    Write down the address

     

    Go back to dyndns and make sure that the address matches

     

    Also, make sure that the dyndns address has the proper ending, ie; ".org", etc.

     

    Also make sure that there is a computer online at the IP address of your location so that the update's can take place and stay in sync (for the lack of a better word).

    The continuous record taking place even though you think you have everything set to motion record.:

     

    Double right click your mouse to bring up the menu at the bottom of the screen. Select the second button from the left which is the manual record button and uncheck all of the boxes that come up. You will probably find that they are checked.

     

    You will find that this is also an issue with the Falco DVR's as the software's appear to be similar.
