Neutech

dont even waste your time on it!

Get the old stuff replaced with a DVR

screwon bnc are a disaster but if you havnt got compression or crimpers then better than nothing, an alternative is the premade leads as you have stated, they will give you the bnc either end and the 12v power plug one end and socket the other, if you need phono at an end but a bnc female to phono male adaptor

sounds like fun project

To be honest you arent going to get colour unless you get light in there of some sort, the IR will help the B&W picture, if you buy all in one cameras with IR on it, screw the face off and remove the IR ring and rewire it to shine down and site camera in a corner maybe, means you wont end up with overloaded IR light on the birds

CCD camera

as for 12 IR leds, really depends on camera,leds etc, personally i would fit a small IR ring seperate to the camera,up in top of next box shinen down

RG59 is fine but with nestboxes being external i would use External Grade CAT5 and baluns

BNC to phono or scart to connect the multiplexer to the TV

Where you located?

Where in the World are you Based?

Takes 1 minute to put location in profiles and helps

Antenna should run to sky box then RF2 back up to Dist amp not a splitter

MOD needs to be inline from Antenna to Skybox

Where are you located Jim?

Windows media player will play the standard AVI files from a Geovision

Never had an issue with this on any Windows based PC/Laptop

when you went into video/audio log to playback footage, you selected AVI icon and mergered the file etc, you use windows own CD writer function or Nero or another SW to burn the disc?

VLC player will play geo codec

just covered the lcd in coffee...thanks

Sean click the writing

your talking about Republic of Ireland lad! Im in Northern Ireland we dont have 3 phase electric here

Dont know where/who told you that Bud but its way out, 3 phase no problem i've been plenty farm installs with 3 phase present in North

Also your going to need to get all the electrical work signed off involving the relays and modifications you have made to lighting circuits etc, you cant carry out Commercial works without this

we have delt with sunkwank for over 10 years

...when did they rebrand Tom?

These were sold in UK under Brand of Serage by Gtec Security

Were MPEG4 at start but now H264

Its not D1

read the spec....says D1 recording 120 FPS NTSC (im guessing your in USA) so 15FPS

Live view 30 FPS yes but not record mode

Have a chat with the guys at - www.cctvdirect.co.uk

Personally i dont install IR based cameras due to the spiders loving them to web all over.

Look at a seperate IR illuminator if thats the way you want to go or a lighting solution to get your camera back into colour mode, Is the external lighting outside your Shop?

Talk nice to mr tumble Henry and he might give you a porsche

well, i do have to put it back together. but still

Do you have the case and rest of bits required?

Shout if you need anything or SW for it i have loads i used to repair these

JPEG2000 still puts lot new dvrs to shame on playback pity about the file sizes

Hey Gaz

Confirm again , does it say 12 port S1 on the geo card? If so its only a 12 Channel DVR you can have then, is there 2 serial cables?

If not and it says 16 port S1 then you need to log i as the admin or supervisor to allow you to change the settings under password, this will allow you to select the 4 missing

Hope this helps

buy tv channel modulator.

Exactly as said above

Modulator and connect it into the Loft Box, wont effect the recording of your DVR

Buy a good quality version as well

Whats make and model of DVR ?

Stops recording, can you still view footage on playback from previous recording?

Hi Neutech see there the main tv dropped out when i connected the rf-mod up and sent the feed back into the splitter from it, the TV has a built in digital reciever like u said below is this right or was it my dodgy connections or something :q

 

 

 

house C has a Sky Dish and an antenna

you check each TV and they have an RF cable connected

now you can check for the TV splitter / Dist amp / Loftbox

Modulator will work in this case, if the TV has no set top box but is picking up Freeview Digital select source on TV and switch to analogue and tune a channel into the Modulator

What type of MOD are you using? the cheap units have no digital loop through on them

Did you switch the source on the TV to analogue and check also what channel are you using on the MOD? you need to watch this also as it might be close to the TV channels in area, go into TV menu and look at tuning and lsit the channels it will give you a preset freq number beside them e.g. BBC1 CH32 etc ,each area transmitter is set up diff frequencies but you can google it and find for the area you are in

HDMI Dist as already mentioned is a method or cheaper way is to drop a RG59 to each TV and use the scart/AV/Phono input on each TV, feed them all back and use a CCTV Splitter amp, one feed from DVR. Normally better quality than MOD method but not always easy to get a cable to every TV required in the House

Where you located?

You need to fit another IR flood on that to get any light oruse a halogen flood with a PIR on it so when someone comes past the Tanks it comes on giving you more light

IR all in one cameras never have the distance claimed by makers

Thanks Neutech and Tom, I dont understand ...isn't sky digital ? I wired out of the rf-out in the sky box to the rf modulator and on to the tv and it tuned in fine, thats how i initially set it up here at home b4 bringing it on site

 

 

but is your cctv signal not analog ?? using a RF-modulator you would plug your camera into it then give it a range or channel number. then it feeds your RF connection on your tv (arial socket) going though your sky box will not allow you to do that. all TVs (at least in the uk) are all digital

The output from the RF on the skybox is analogue not the SCART so if you have sky eye system in the house or you can watch sky on any TV on a channel in the house you have an analogue Dist splitter then it will work 100% as you have already done DS

No freeview set top boxes wont work but a newer style TV from last few years will work as most are dual tuner

a few senarios -

House A has a no sky or cable TV just antenna on roof

You check each TV and they all have freeview set top boxes

forget it unless you want to buy a Digital modulator @ £500+

House B has Sky TV dish no antenna

You check each TV and they have sky boxes

no use again

House C has a Sky Dish and an antenna

you check each TV and they have an RF cable connected

now you can check for the TV splitter / Dist amp / Loftbox

Modulator will work in this case, if the TV has no set top box but is picking up Freeview Digital select source on TV and switch to analogue and tune a channel into the Modulator

This is all UK based and by 2012 most of the UK will be Digital

If you get stuck speak to local TV Antenna/ equipment supplier and they will keep you right esp if you buy from them

I use a CAI Installer on bigger domestic installs where they might have a mish mash of TV / Satelite etc

RF-modulator ???? will not work on digital TV you cant search for channel.

Majority have Dual tunners so both analog and Digital, sticking a MOD inline and setting up on Analogue works no hassles and dosent effect the digital

Yes

Scrap the splitter / booster thats there already and fit the loftbox in its place, rem they are F type plugs on loft box same as satelite connections not TV plugs thats probably already on there

They are a better and tider way of TV Dist and getting your CCTV inline

Have never seen the DVR system like that before and i've seen plenty

Why does the SW need updated?

Did you pay 4k for just DVR? or was there a full install

heard a few interesting things
