See Below. Just match the settings from the camera (LOOK AT MONITOR WHEN YOU APPLY POWER TO CAMERA) in the DVR's PTZ settings section. Camera settings in CAMERA is not necessary if you are only using ONE PTZ. After communication is established, you can use preset 95, to gain access the cameras on-screen menu (IF EQUIPPED).

I would go with three cameras. 1 x 2MP IR with 3.6MM Lens for the Side Walk 1 x 2MP IR with 3.6MM Lens for the Cars (Same Coverage as your pic) 1 x 2MP IR with 6-9MM Lens for the Cars from 60'-90'

Is the Power, HDD lights ON?

Make, Model? Is IE versions on both PC's the same? Try running standard IE as Administrator.

Post a high quality picture of the power port. The Specs show 12VDC/4A. You could rig up an alternative, Shouldn't be that difficult to figure out.

First off you should not be looking on fleabay. The DVR mentioned, is only capable of a Maximum Recording Frame Rate of 120 IPS @ 704×480 which is, 7 FPS/IPS at Half D1 (Approx the size of a smartphone screen. Effective Pixels for 700TVL is 976 (H) x 492 (V) NTSC

Take a look at the attached. Check the following thread for a supplier in your are. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31436

Model number?

New weather proofing procedure. This is a picture of the camera connector pushed into a 1/2" hole and covered with silicone.

How does it look connected directly to the TV?

UnInstall the update for IE9 which will bring you back to IE8. This is a known issue with most units unless they release an update that support IE9.

What Windows are you using? Did you install the ActiveX Plugin?

Yes it will give you the ability to troubleshoot. Set it to DHCP and as long as your router is not rebooted the DVR will keep the same IP Address forever. If your problem is solved then it's a router issue, just assign the DVR a static IP Address within the DHCP Range (The one the DVR got when you changed it to DHCP) and you'll be fine.

Looks like it's welded. It's hard to tell without actually looking at it. You can always cut it off.

Can't you remove the roof top base?

Did you try using DHCP?

Is this a PC Based System?

Looks like a bad or corrupted HDD. 1. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from the drive mftr.'s website or use Seagate's SeaTools For DOS. You will create a bootable CD with the file you download. You will need third-party burning software to do this such as Roxio, Nero, or the free ImgBurn. Burn as an image, not as data. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools/seatooldreg Boot with the CD you made and do a thorough test of the drive. If it fails any physical tests, replace it. 2. If the hard drive tests good, then seethis notice by microsoft: [Q316506] -http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316506 Be proactive and make sure you have backed up your data because the drive may be on its way out.

Easy, Easy, No intention of trying to be smart, you stated OEM so I assumed they were Pelco Branded. You can use the Pipeline Series from Seagate, been using them with no issues and they cost less than the ones you have now. Those drives that came with the DX8100's are Seagates ES.2 Series. You can easily purchase them online at a lower cost just make sure you purchase from a reputable store because Seagate offers a Limited 5 Year Warranty. Sorry for the misunderstanding, maybe you can give me some pointers .

These are the guys that make the housings for Axis Cameras. http://www.videolarm.com/literature/Videolarm/3rdParty.pdf Contact them and they will give you the different options for the camera you have. Then contact your local supplier or me for pricing.

Yes, we currently have alot of the ST31000524AS in the field in smaller standalone DVR's, no issues.

Pelco factory OEM HDD? Never new they made HDD's

We use only Seagate HDD's Previously we used the SV35 Series, which was actually designed for Surveillance Systems but we had failures in environments where constant Read/Write was absolutely necessary. Now we use the Pipeline HD Series which we really haven't had any issues with this far.

Have you tried VLC Media Player, it works with all formats, if not you can use GOM Player.

I guess the mount was already screwed to the post and they had to replace the camera with one that didn't match the mount.
