screw the cameras, buy a gun.

Hi i have a Qsee 4760 analog dvr that died...just says system initializing and hangs there..What would you recommend as a replacement??. I was looking om AliExpress for a DVR, there but what would be a direct replacement..thanks

Cool thanks Brad for the info..Any recommendation on a 16 channel hybrid DVR? was just looking at this Dahua here, i know Boogieman recomeeded something like this..thansk for your helpo https://jet.com/product/detail/1fa9fdf7396f48978df61e562c6b2cf2?jcmp=pla:ggl:NJ_dur_Gen_Tools_Home_Improvement_a1:Tools_Home_Improvement_Safety_Security_Equipment_Home_Security_Surveillance_a1:na:PLA_784744695_42602150073_pla-306778603384:na:na:na:2&code=PLA15&pid=kenshoo_int&c=784744695&is_retargeting=true&clickid=31b24b89-d8c8-47fd-83e4-553dbbb7fb88

hi cant replace it with same one, cant find it and they don't make it anymore. Id like to just upgrade to HD Ill check out the Dahua. thanks

Hi, im interested in this is as well..IS the 4mp better for night vision? than the 3mp. thanks

That's what i thought too Boogieman..What would be a good dome camera to go with this Qsee package? maybe something direct from china, I need for domes. I want to upgrade to HD as ive been on analog for years. Most dahua ip 2mp/3mp amd probably their new 4mp domes should work with that NVR... cool, thanks for the info.

That is quite tempting. What do you think about the Swann kit? http://www.costco.com//.product.100144944.html?utm_campaign=bazaarvoice&utm_medium=SearchVoice&utm_source=RatingsAndReviews&utm_content=Default I wish these systems had better reviews, the Swann looks decent. That kit is way overpriced...The 3mp are not the greatest when it comes to night vision...you need to disable wdr (or keep it low) and turn up the noise reduction.. what about this one? http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-IP-NVR-with-3TB-HDD%2c-12-3MP-Cameras-with-100'-Night-Vision.product.100220054.html

HI anyone tried this Qsee system, what do you think..1080p analog HD ? using better wires would probably help alot http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-HD-1080p-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-8-1080p-Cameras.product.100159617.html

So i can use my existing wires and go 720P. just curious if anyone has tried this system yet and what you think? price seems right http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-HD-Analog-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-16-720p-Cameras.product.100104430.html

Whats do you guys think of this deal at Costco. Doesnt look to bad..Is this an older system? not sure. wait ok its their analog HD, but at 1080? i thought that was 960h or 720.. http://www.costco.com/Q-See-16-Channel-HD-1080p-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-8-1080p-Cameras.product.100159617.html

Hi saw this pop on costco, looked pretty good. who makes the cameras for Swann is it Hikvision? http://www.costco.com/.product.100144938.html

Hi yes i did see your posts and then saw this deal. Hows the night vision? thanks

this one just came up http://www.costco.com/.product.100144938.html

Perhaps it's because most residential installations are mounted up in places like eaves which are usually painted white? A white camera blends in naturally on a house with white trim. I second the recommendation for the Kyrlon Camo ultra-flat spray paint. I have painted several of my outdoor cam housings and this paint holds up quite well. Cool, good to know its been done with the camo paint.

Just wondering. i have an old analog system that i want to upgrade from the cams are all dark grey... but all the kits from costco etc.. cameras are painted White? why is this? i like the dark color..I guess i could pait them or powder coat them but there goes the warranty.

Man i like that camo color!! good idea.. haaa..Ill just have some white spray paint handy if anything goes wrong.

That sucks, white cameras do me no good. i live in the desert, dark painted house, desert colors....white cams against browns/dark browns looks like ****. Plus i like my cams to be be hidden, up under eves..etc. any other ideas?

Hi Don, Care to elaborate on that? which way would you recommend me going if i want to go HD? im running analog right now. thanks

HI thanks for the info. Been awhile since ive been here and started this thread. So i guess i should just go the HD SDI route instead of bothering with these analog HD systems. I was trying to not have to redo all the wiring in my house but it seems i have to as these QSee wires are not very good.

ya how do you fix that flash light effect?

Here is my analog car shot. have two big lights right on my driveway. one right underneath this camera

I recently bought one of these domes to put under my patio in my back yard http://sabercctv.com/index.php/products/cameras/analog-cameras/item/700tvl-13-sony-effio-e-ccd-36-led-ir-grey-dome-camera?category_id=10 The daytime looks great but ive been trying to tweek the night-vision so its better. I recently turned on the NR Noise reduction in the OSD menu. Both the Y & C were set at 4. so i just left them. It seems my night vision is more grainy with it on? maybe i need to tweak the Y&C. Im wondering what do those settings do Y&C? I turned the ATR (On)....any idea where i should have them set?

check this out

wow man, good job. thanks any luck with your camera? i havent had time to mess around with mine that much yet. just looking to see what you settings you might be using to dial in the night vision. thanks
