What is the best value 1080p camera for around £70? Any Ip or AHD camera will do. I can get a TVi DS-2CE56D7T-ITM for around £50. Anyone suggest a better camera? Good night vision is the priority.

Hi unbelievably there seems to more Hikvision products to choose from! The pace of change with Hikvision is relentless. I am looking at purchasing a DS-7608NI-E2/8P but I am then advised that this product has been replaced with a newer model the HiWatch IP NVR -208M-A/8p. Are these basically the same model? Any advise on this please?

Hi I am looking at purchasing Hikvision Tvi equipment. Is Tvi classed as digital cctv? These are the two products I am interested in: http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_179_i5828.html http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_364_i5791.html Anyone have experience of these? I'd love to hear any opinions before I click the purchase button. Thank you

ok thank you

I'll base the recorder around the camera. Not the other way around.

If your camera is connected to the back of your nvr and not a network point i.e plug and play then yes the ip address is correct.

I'm not sure mate. At least you know both cameras are ok. I suspect your five way psu is not the best.

I think you only get ground loop problems when two cameras are connected to two different earthing systems so therefore in your own house that is impossible. A large site may have more than one earth and this can create earth loop problems. Do you have another psu? Swap the "faulty" camera to the good psu output?

You can do this through the Nvr settings. Webrowser Configuration->Storage->Shedule Settings Nvr Menu->Record

How are the cameras powered? Looks like a psu issue to me. It might be a pain but could you take down the faulty camera and locate it next to the Dvr using new cable to eliminate possible cable/connection issues.

What device are you using to view the image? If it is the app is it set to main stream(clear) or substream(fluent)?

I have been asked to install a cctv system for a friend and as i have installed Hikvision before i have decided to use their equipment again. However the choice of equipment and the different technologies is mind boggling. I have now decided on two kits. One is IP(4Mp) the other Tvi(2Mp). At first i thought IP was the only way to go but is Tvi 3.0 more suited to a four bedroom house? I would really appreciate and advice on the pros and cons of the two. IP Kit 4Mp - System Hikvision DS-7608NI-E2/8P/A - £188 Hikvision DS-2CD2T42WD-I5 - £125 x 6 Western Digital Purple 4TB - £145 Total - £1083 Tvi Kit 2Mp - System Hikvision DS-7208HUHI-F2/N - £215 Hikvision DS-2CE16D7T-IT3Z/G -£78 x 6 Western Digital Purple 4TB - £145 Total - £828

http://www.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_364_i5791.html Does the above Dvr allow for 10 inputs or 8? As I see it it allows 8 TVi and 2 ip. Is this correct? Thank you

Why?

Am i right in saying that most 3/4 megapixel cameras display live video as 1080p which is approx 2 megapixels? Thus as you say makes the additional pixels over 2 mega only useful for zooming in?

Surprised no one knows the answer to this I thought this Dvr was a common product. I've tried Swann support and registered a public question but for some reason there admin has still posted the question

I have an old Swann DVR 08B and i am told i need to update the firmware from version 2.2 so that i can use the Swann DDNS swanndvr.net service. Trouble is i cannot find the latest firmware anywhere on the Swann website. Any help please?

Answer the question you Dogs!

Hi all. I think i have a Swann Advanced Series 8 channel dvr. I have set up so i can remote view and it works well. As i do not have a static ip i have registered at Swann DDNS to use their service. However everytime i log into the Swann DDNS it says "ip not updated yet." If my external ip changes i fear i will not be able to remote view. Here are my settings using the netviewer: I see no swanndvr.net. Why is this please? Also what is 3322? Many thanks.

I have a new pc but have lost the CD that came with my Swann DVR4-1400. I've tried to locate the software to log into the dvr on the Swann website but with no joy. As for Internet Explorer i just cannot get this to work. All i get is constant security warning, how i wish i could use google chrome. Anyway does anyone have a link so i can download the software that comes with the dvr please?

I am thinking of buying the following camera but after looking around at other options i am not sure. I would like to make the right decision so i am hoping this forums users can advice please. HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-I 3MP 4mm http://www.amazon.co.uk/HIKVISION-DS-2CD2032-I-Outdoor-Bullet-Network/dp/B00WHTZS54/ref=pd_sim_sbs_60_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1MM2MN3SMADN9BGVYPC1&dpSrc=sims&dpST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_ HIKVISION DS-2CD2032-1 This next camera has excellent reviews but as far as i can tell non POE. This the only difference from the above camera? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00G7GMEOG/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me= Hikvision DS-2CD2332-I http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hikvision-DS-2CD2332-I-Turret-Camera-Length/dp/B00GYHEG0S/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3B74O2OH3FSJB Oh decisions decisions!

Try these two my friend http://www.diynot.com/diy/forums/alarms-cctv-telephones/ http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/

Hello cctv forum Last week our garage was broken into so now after the horse has bolted we are looking at security systems. I will be fitting a simple burglar alarm tomorrow but i would also like the additional security of cctv that allows me to view the camera using my smart phone. However after reading up on what's available there seems to be a bewildering amount of choice. Ii would very much appreciate any advice from the this forum so i do not waste unnecessary money buying the wrong equipment. I am looking at the HIKVISION DS-2CD2032F-I 3MP 4mm Outdoor HD DWDR IR Bullet Network IP Camera POE ,SD Card Slot camera. The reason is because it has a SD card for recording. http://www.amazon.co.uk/HIKVISION-DS-2CD2032F-I-Outdoor-Bullet-Network/dp/B00Z6KHZ3O/ref=sr_1_21?s=photo&srs=2559966031&ie=UTF8&qid=1441433272&sr=1-21 I have the following questions: 1. Will i be able to connect this camera directly into my BT HomeHub router and using the SADP Hikvision software be able to view and program the camera? 2. If i set up the ports correctly on my HomeHub will i be able to view the camera using the Hikvision App? 3. Will i be able to view the recorded images on the SD card direct from my pc or app or will i have to physically remove the SD card and plug it into my pc? 4. Does the camera come with an SD card installed or do i need to buy one? 5. I understand that a Nvr is the normal way to record images but as i only have one camera and only need max 30 mins recording is a SD card suitable? Thank you in advance for any replies

Wow this is great thank you Another question though if i may. 1. How long will a 64Gb normally record for. From what i've read it depends on what it is recording but in general an estimated time?
