Hi Kangtree, whats the point of this post?

Could be the Mux or the VCR .. i'd lean towards the Mux, since that seems to control the VCR in this case. Any special connections? What cable are you using, Coax or SVHS?

they all look like indoor cameras, going by the specs.

Dunno, but Black Diamond is similar to what they have now, except it basically spreads the IR out wider is all.

oh yeah, if I remember correctly, though not typically a DVR I would recommend, the EverFocus 1600 (Cant remember the exact model) has a browser based java interface.

Dont know, but if you didnt mind a PC based unit, I could recommend Video Insight, as they use Javascript so it will work in any web browser; no activeX and no java problems. Also GeoVision has the Java browser app. And there are others. Standalone without ActiveX may be hard to find. Also, the Eclipse Nubix is the Avtec so if they have that to demo same thing.

They still use ActiveX last time I Checked. Wont work in Firefox either.

If you cant expore the CD either, then chuck it and goto their website to download the drivers.

Sounds strange. I block the audio server myself on my PC and it doesnt give that error, only gave that error on PCs where I hadnt loaded the audio drivers, or they were not loaded correctly. I guess reinstall the OS (quick format) then try again. If you have another PC maybe try that card in that first.

Well Geo is a full DVR once you build it. But otherwise, guess what the 2 already mentioned above.

Hi and welcome ... from even further down south

Hi and welcome to the forum, I would also post this in the DVR Card forum: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewforum.php?f=2

check out these guys, best mini PTZs and PTs ive seen yet on the web (havent tested yet). http://www.acutvista.com.tw/

LOL .. hope its not a hard drive

Check Video Connections, and power them all locally, with a spot monitor at the camera. Unfortunately this means either going up to them by ladder or taking them down to check them, but in the long run it will save time.

What question?

if the audio is working (connect a speaker and test just incase if not already done) then should not get that error. What motherboard is it?

Second hand lenses can have problems (scratches, etc), I would buy some new lenses if anything. IR, cant comment as dont know the model. Camera itself should be fine, though its second hand so cant say.

are the audio drivers installed on the PC itself? You will get this message if no audio is present, such as in the case if the drivers were not installed for the audio which could be either onboard or PCI audio.

true that .. my bad .. poor writing on the journalists side of it .,. confused me there for a minute .. so both of them are dead .. didnt catch that. Still, she is probably just looking for someone to blame .. venting frustration. The person that killed them is the one she should be suing. Also, the judge or court that let him free from the last crime he did. Maybe even his parents, or high school teacher .. see where Im going ..

2 different things all together .. Lets put it this way, the car cant stop without brakes, in other words the car is useless; however the people can live without an alarm. The alarm system wont stop a criminal, if anything it is only a deterrent. I would like to know what they expected to happen if it was working that way, I dont think the cops are that fast, and also, the victim had a loaded shot gun next to his bed, seems he was expecting something to happen perhaps? They are looking for somewhere to vent their frustration, bottom line is it probably could have been prevented, and that has nothing to do with the alarm system. Also, it seems the victims family are not the ones suing, just the girlfriend .. sounds fishy to me.

Since 3 manufacturers responded .... these are end users also, they dont know where to buy your products. I would suggest a nice advertising banner at the top of the forum, and also maybe get some of your distributors to join the forum so they can also join in the discussions http://www.cctvforum.com/advertise.php To Nutin, it appears you are an end user? Best thing is to browse the forum if you havent already (seeing as this is an old post). Even better thing to do is see what DVR Cards you have access to in your country, or where you can buy them from at least in the region. Once you get a list of those then go through the features and break down the ones you like. Come on the forum then and see what / if any response is to those as far as stability and quality. Being that you are in India, buying from the US, UK, Australia, or even Asia, is probably going to be very expensive, or at least not a good idea, due to the distance, time, and extra shipping costs incurred; especially in the case of a warranty.

He could have disabled the siren also .. outdoor one would be simple .. if he took time to disable the phone line, he might have even got in then disabled the alarm .. plug and battery and its dead, normally have a delay on the entrance and depends where they installed the alarm .. if its just motions he could duck under them in many cases, body temperature in relation to the room temperature effects their probability of working. Glass breaks probably just didnt work .. heck they may have even installed different type of glass since they were installed - plastic / hurricane proof wont shatter or make the same sound as regular glass. Maybe all they had were glass breaks, which is useless IMO. Or maybe the alarm wasnt even armed! Man there are many variables .. maybe they just didnt install and test it properly from day one .. lots of lick and stick installers over there in the USA .. especially the big companies.

how did yall break the cards?
