ok i got 2 tmezon mz-bah cameras one is 720 and one is 1080p anyway the 720 was working and i got the 1080p and connected it up and it failed. after pushing the buttons everyway i could for half hour i decided to take the 720 and go into menu and see what mode it was in. well it was in cvs and i changed it to ahd as the 1080p is and it stopped working. so i got it stuck in the wrong mode but now i'm in a pinch as i can't get it back into the cvs mode. so there must be a way to get this back into the correct mode when it is not not showing on the screen. they have a way at the factory to set these up from nothing so i'm hoping someone has a code with the buttons that i can force it back into the correct mode. like maybe pushing the button down a number of time's for each mode until the mode you need show the stream. i know you can push the button up dn left right without pushing it down to get into the menu to change it but i changed it in the menu and saved it so now i'm stuck. so did i brick the thing? or maybe i can take it apart and find a jumper or master switch on the board? anyone have some ideas? thanks bp.

yes sir i figured that out. thanks i will figure out something now that you have helped me figure out that tmezon camera. i have a few options to figure out. i told the ebay seller the camera s ok and not to do a refund as my dvr is the fault. not sure yet but i'm leaning on the kkmoon unit with 4 cameras as that is how most are sold. and the cameras i have now should fill an 8 ch dvr up just fine. again thanks for the help

yes you did and when i ask what you recommend you gave me links to expensive units. you did not like the kkmoon unit or that is how i read your reply. i'm not going to spend 500$ on a dvr for what i use it for. thanks i tired to post the tmezon camera info but i'm limited to 1.2mb so maybe another time but the tmezon has the same ahd on it. my dvr seems to like cbvs but for some reason that white camera is working so i must have been able to switch it to what the dvr likes. the new tmezon as you say must be more than my dvr can handle. so i think i will get the kkmoon unit and see how it works. only thing i have to lose is shipping time thanks

ok i guess so check out this and tell me if you think it is an ahd camera? it show on the dvr that is all i can say.

ok thanks one tmezon runs and one does not. but i have a ahd camera runing on it now it is a analog hd camera nst-cb4-1-1 and i looked it up on ebay and it was advertised as an hd camera. and form what i have read ahd cameras are analog hd cameras. now that may be a 720p hd and not a 1080p hd. they do not give you much for info on them. and i think i said earlier that i did a voltage reading and both cameras are out putting 16 mv so that 1080p camera is working. so either i get a zosi dvr 4x1 or a kkmoon dvr 5x1 and then i can run all the cameras i have. or i get 300$ worth of foscam cameras and then run cat cable and power to them. it is much easier to just take down the old cameras and plug in a new dvr and be down with it. and then find the new dvr on the 25 ch nvr to record them in one place for monitoring them. thanks for the help.

ok that may be true for the 25 ch nvr but when i look at the video it is clear enough for me to see faces on the ip cams. i'm thinking about doing just that taking down the bullet cameras and putting up more foscam cameras. i have a sketch now of where i may want to install some. they re getting cheap enough now on ebay to get them for a few bucks. for what i need i do not have to spend a tin of money. then i have to run more cat5 cable and power. but then i have ptz zoom if needed and hd 2mp or greater cameras. and i can ditch the small nvr and dvr. anyway thanks by the way the thread started out asking about 2 tmezon bullet cameras . and i thnk the reason i cans see that last one is it is hd and my dvr will not process that much signal. thanks

guess i do not know what that statement is about going backwards. if your asking why go to a dvr when i have a 25 ch nvr. well i have 12 dvr cameras and 6 ip cameras and the nvr will not get the dvr cameras unless they are processed and then put on the network. and the 5x1 dvr nvr recorder will be able to use any camera i have now and down the road. currently i have 2 of the 12 failing and have to replace them and the tmzeon i just got to do that seems to not work on the zmodo so i guess it is time to update that old dvr so zosi has a 5x1 unit and kkmoon has one for what i'm watching i do not need to spend 5k on a system that is looking at the back yard the garages and the mail box. when a 100$ unit just may do the job. that heimvision camera i have testing on the table now using wifi an on tinycam but i do not like it being on onvif and port 80 so i'm going thru tinycams avaiable cameras and so far i have found 3 that show it good but no ptz and maybe not presets. but i'm just getting to the t's so i may find one that works. and if so and i can change out the username and password plus the ports i may just keep it. if not they will refund me and i can toss it in the trash after i smash it. thanks

thanks. the other camera is just like the one that is not showing video they are both the same 4 x 1 camera but it is in 720p i did change the dvr output to the every output it has. there are 4 and i do not remember off the top of my head. i did measure the output of both cameras and they are putting out 16 mv so yes that camera must be doing something. what i'm going to do is just get a 5x1 dvr and then i will be able to see any format i do get. then as i add cameras i'm bound to be able to see them. or i may get a new zosi dvr that will accept any format according to them. i have a 25ch nvr and that can see all the cameras i have but i need the dvr to process the signal for that nvr. thanks ZOSI 1080P 16 Channel TVI CVI AHD CVBS Security DVR,For 960H/720P/1080P CCTV

ok i got one tmzeon camera back. it turns out the first time you push the program button all the way down you get the first menu. then move the button towards the two wires not the wire going to the power and dvr. that is the video mode. then tot he right or left but keep going the same direction so your not just going back and forth. it may take 4 times. then wait a sew seconds between the left push to give it time to set teh mode. then you can go into the back menu to save and exit. turns out i may have a bad new camera as the 720 came back on but the 1080p did ot come back on and i understand that if my dvr is not 1080p capable that the camera should show in a lower resolution than the camera is. so because i can't get this new camera to show it may be a bad camera. i have to go and look but i'm sure i have one 1080p camera on my dvr system now. thanks.

ok but now i have to find a 5 in 1 recorder because of all the recorders i ask about they all come back and se they are junk. so i found a site that said hikevision is an offshoot from dahu and everyone seems to live with the high priced hikevision. so what i may do is get a kkmoon as it has the same chips as the so called hikvision and see if there apps are any better. at this point in time i'm not a believer as i have tried more than a dozen apps and tinycam is by far the best one for what i need to use it for and more secure. one thine for sure is i got 4 of those 4 into 1 cameras and i got 2 tmezons that i can't see on my recorder, they are in the ahd mode and i can't see them to take them out of that mode and put them into the cvbs mode that i need. i had one working and i changed the mode to test it and it lsot the feed and now i cant get it back. and i do not know the button sequence to get it back.

i have a neighbor that has one of those ip cam systems the has the nvr and ip cams that are wifi and attach to each other. they are able to connect to the router so you could use an app the system has to view the cameras on the internet. but what i need to find out is has anyone got one of these systems and use the tinycam app with it? i know the neighbor systems ip address and username and password and ports but at my house that is 25' from his base unit i can't get the tinycam app to see it. when the app scans. i even tried inputting the ip address and port and that failed. i as because i'm leaning to getting a kkmoon 4 in 1 nvr system so i can use it on my analog cams and my foscam cams and have just one device, but if i can't see them on the tinycam app it will be pointless. thanks this is the kkmoon system i'm thinking about. KKMOON 1080P H.265+ DVR 2.0MP CCTV Home IR Security Camera System Kit thanks for any help on this one.

not quite sure what you mean but if your asking why i want the device to work on tinycam is because i use tinycam app to view my cameras on a tablet and my phone at home and my phone when gone. thanks.

yes i kind of figured it would be a closed system only for there equipment. thanks

well not to much on the kkmoon nvr system i guess so i will start another thread on that and one on the wifi ip cam systems anyway the ebay seller is starting to offer up a refund. so i can just toss the camera and keep the power supply for something else someday. the camera is junk as noted here and getting a refund means no yard sale to pass on the junk to someone else as well. sure would be nice if anyone has some insight on that. thank

ok can anyone tell me how this system is? KKMOON 1080P H.265+ DVR 2.0MP CCTV Home IR Security Camera System Kit H4N2 but in the description it say h264 does this sound like it may be a fair system. if it is like my zmodo i can change the default settings. also what does the below mean? is this what the system will work with? so if i was to put 4 1080p cameras on this it is at the limit even though it has 8 channels available? or it can do 4 720p and 4 960p i guess i'm not familiar with that terminology. thanks. Multi-mode input: Analog: 4*1080P(5 in 1);4*720P;4*960P Hybrid:2*720P（analog)+2*720P（network） Network:8*1080P;12*960P;8*720P;4*1080P;4*720P;1*1080P also i have another question but you may tell me to post in a new thread. can anyone tell me if i was to get one of those systems that have wifi cameras and a wifi nvr so it is all by itself for the cameras attaching to the nvr. i figure i can connect these to my network, but can i see this type of system on the tinycam app that i use for my cameras now for monitoring them? my neighbor has one and i just do not see hsi system on my tinycam app or when i do a wifi search, so are they designed to be that hidden? if so then it may be pointless to get one. for using on the tinycam app. thanks.

i bet they do. i guess i don't quite know how they can get data but i'm sure they have a way. but that very well could be from all the cameras. what i may do is put it on a router that is not connected to the network it will be secured better that way, but i still would like to be able to switch the default settings. so i do not have anyone messing with it that happens to be driving by, chances are slim but still possible. so send some of those links along i sure would like to see them. when i was looking into reviews i did not find any, but i bet there are tons of them. so i just did a amazone and yep there are tons of neg reviews. although i do not have those same issues as of yet, but i expect them to start if i was to keep it online for any amount of time. i was looking for a cheaper camera to test before i got a more expensive one and this company sure hit the mark. but you can find poor reviews on any camera this one has its share. so i guess i will stick to foscam and look for some bargains. thanks.

thanks but i have changed my ip address a few times and it stuck. i can do it in the router setting and the netgear forums claim if it turn off dns and enter a new ip address comcast accepts it. also i have changed the ports and username and password on my foscam cameras and gave the information to the tinycam app maker and he could not get into my cameras to see what he had to do the fix his app. seems to me that is pretty secure if i give it to someone and they can get it. my guess is the firewall kept him out. i have ran port scanner and prot probe and i have only the ports open that is required. so if i was to change the camera ports and username and password it may not keep heimvision out but it should keep others out. if the cameras were not able to do that by changing the username and password and ports then all of them would be useless for security. thanks

so i forgot to ask if anyone happens to know if there is a way to get into these cameras and change the default setting? or it that pointless. like what was mentioned they are not a very good system by themselves but if you can change the username and password and the ports like on the foscam cameras then you can get them more secure. there app is useless and so far i haven't found a camera program that lets me get into them and change these fields. there has to be a program that works but my search is not getting me anywhere. thanks

thanks that is what i figured. so like you say i do not want it on my system if i can't change the defaults as like you say it leaves a big hole in my security. i asked to return it and if they don't i will leave them a big neg feedback, they hate neg feedback and then it will set on the yard sale table. i know how to change my ip address but no sence doing that for just one camera. i got one to test it as you just never know. so now i know. thanks for this and as you say i kind of figured this after i got it and discovered it was basically junk. thanks bp.

i had a question going about this but a bit different question so let me start over with a dfferent approch. i have a 16 channel dvr and i have a 8 channel nvr the 16ch dvr has 8 old zmodo analog cams on it and it has 4 of the switchable tyep analog cameras, they are set to tvi but cn be set to cbbs, ahd, cvi formats. i have the nvr with 6 foscam ip wifi / network cameras on it and those foscam cameras are only using the network as i turned off the wifi. so because it looks like i may not be be able to find a unit that will work good with both types of cameras what do you think of this dvr? HD 16CH DVR XVR for AHD CVBS CVI TVI Cameras NEW Solution HD 1080P free P2P DDNS for just the analog cameras for what i have now and future cams. and i will just keep using the monitor switch to switch back and forth to see the units as i need to check on them for recording? here is a link to this so you might check it out and tell me if i might be able to at least work with this one and then if i need get another nvr when needed just for the ip cams? https://www.ebay.com/i/162529856764?_trksid=p11011.c100360.m3755&_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20150112100634%26meid%3D98e0d2ba5fc94f25b488de5c06043a25%26pid%3D100360%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dpp%26b%3D1%26sd%3D143665192190%26itm%3D162529856764%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D11011%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DLEXACCTV&ul_noapp=true thanks for the help and ideas? i would really like to get one unit for both types of cameras but that is getting to be a hard topic to resolve. thanks bp.

thanks i will just leave it as it is. it is not worth messing around with anymore. it does what i want now i was just looking to get a dvr at least that would be an upgrade for the new cameras. my nvr can see those analog cameras now and when that system fails i may just get a system that has the cameras with it. maybe even a wifi system that is a stand alone system. again that answered that question thanks a lot now i know.

here is the same unit that has some specs, thanks https://www.ebay.com/itm/162529856764?hash=item25d788ccfc:g:N2IAAOSwfDle9Rf8

ok i do not expect a lot for 50$ but for just recording my yard it might be as good or better than the unit i have now. but it also sounds like you do not like p2p? i have that turned of in my router also onvif is turned of on the cameras and i see them good on my tinycam app. and the monitor both my current units are connected to. so if the p2p is for there app and outside the home viewing i do not use that or even want it. and if i get another unit i will turn off all the services in the net serve and change the port to my my port that i now use. thanks for that help so far.

16CH 1080P FHD Security Camera System 5IN1 AHD DVR CCTV Digital Video Recorder question does anyone know if this recorder system will work with analog cameras the ahd,cvi,tvi, and ip network cameras? i have the zmodo 16 ch dvr the i have 8 analog cams on and i have 4 cams the i can switch to 4 different formats, but i have then now set to tvi. i have an 8 ch nvr unit the i have 6 foscam r2 ip cams on. on the nvr i can show both the ip network cams and also the zmodo cams, the analog and tvi cams and also record them on that nvr. what i would like to do is have one unit that will show all the cameras i have, plus as i replace the old analog cams the new formats are becoming ahd cvi tiv and the new hd uhd fhd resolutions that the zmodo is not like very well. so i have asked tons of ebay sellers and noe one have said yes or no plus i have sent kkmoon this same question 4 times and still waiting on the first reply. so i'm hoping someone here can tell me if this will work or what dvr/nvr unit will do the job. i hate to just start tossing money at systems until i happen to find one that works. i could get lucky the first time but!. so does anyone here know or may have this unit working like i need? in the future i will need to start replacing the analog type cams and because i have the wire up it will be an easy change and if i was to change them all to ip then i have to run power to them etc. so getting a system that will work with all my cameras is the best option. thanks much bp.

so what i'm trying to do if possible is reinstall the firmware. but when i go to the mfg site and download the firmware i get a bin file and i copied that directly to the usb thumb drive and then i put the stick into the nvr board and turn it on but it will not just run from the usb ports to re install that file. so i went into the setting and i have update options but it will not run the stick so i guess i'm out of luck on this board. unless someone happens to have a way around that. i have 2 usb ports in the back none in the front. thanks
