Hello Forum!

I have a general question about TVI and FM Video Transceivers.

I have a customer that currently has an ancient PC-Based analog system that utilizes IFS VR1500 FM Video Transceivers over paired 62.5 Multimode Fiber to operate 8 Pelco P(!) RS485 PTZ cameras. They want to upgrade the entire system.

I figure in the end since they're running paired fiber, I'll put in an IP System and be done with it, but out of idle curiosity...

I know the nature of RS485 is pretty universal in terms of PTZ control, but my question is:

Would a TVI system work over FM Transceiver, specifically the model mentioned above? I've briefly searched the web and could find no definitive answer beyond advertisements. :>

Thank you!

Edit: Turns out this model of VR1500s is over AM Frequency. Same question, though.

For the record, the spec sheet for the VR1500 is here

...It does! Thank you. IF nothing else, this is something to go on.

I would, but the person who bought it originally was the same one that disabled it because he was embezzling, so has long since been removed from the client's operations. :>

Bump! :>

Hey guys, I was wondering if one of you good folk had access to a repair/service manual for old GE DVRs - specifically for the DVRMe-16CT-1000.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bump!

Still no identification on this mystery unit. Any viable leads would be much appreciated.

lol

For a moment, I thought I was going to get Robert Patrick from Terminator 2.

So, another question I had involves making two separate manufacturers work in unison.

I have an AT Video NVR16 (http://www.atvideo.com) and a few older GE UVD-IP-EVRDNR-VA2 IP Dome Cameras. I can get the ATV to see the GE Dome, but it won't register the camera in its IP Camera tables. It does not give me an error of any kind - perhaps someone here had some ideas.

I've updated the firmware on the NVR; I could not locate any firmware for the GE IP cameras. The Camera broadcasts over port 80, and the image feed can be seen through a web browser. The NVR supports several codecs which should be compatible with the IP Camera; the issue lies in the NVR 'seeing' the camera by IP address, going through the motions of adding it to the IP table, but not actually acquiring it. Thoughts?

Last Batch. :>

My first official post!

I need help identifying this beast.

So, I pulled this half-fried DVR out of the field to be replaced with equipment that's actually branded. ;p After futzing with it for an hour or so, I got the machine to come up (although I would swear it has epilepsy...), and to say that the controls are clumsy is to do a disservice to clunky, unfriendly interfaces everywhere.

It has no name brand on it, the model number on the foil sticker is blank, the software doesn't even herald its name. The Firmware version is nowhere to be located in the system, it literally flashes by on its own screen in hopes you aren't looking.

It's almost like the manufacturer was ashamed to put any identifying characteristics to it, although it DOES have a Serial Number

The Textual Specifics:

Country of Origin: Korea

Firmware Version: 2.89

SERIAL: DV1606121924

Power: 12v DC

Channels: 16, Each with a dedicated loop.

HDD: 1 x Seagate 250 GB PATA/IDE, P/N 9DC03E-501; system supports 2 Hard Drives

Chipset: Looks like Techwell and Averlogic had a mutant baby with an old Packard Bell PC. Risers, Risers everywhere.

Unusual Inputs: It has a pair of oddball Audio Inputs, one labeled '1-2' the second '3-4'. This one also has a DB9 Serial Port.

Other odd characteristics: The DVD Recorder is on the RIGHT hand side. I tried accessing it with a web browser (after setting it up on our test network) to no avail, so it does not appear to have a webserver built in.

Hello!

New to the forum, am a CCTV installer and network technician here in North Carolina, USA. I stumbled across this site while fervently - rather, madly - searching for a make/model of an unknown DVR, and was quite overjoyed to find such a wealth of resources and knowledge contained in this site

Without further adieu...
