Okay, but, I've done several installations all using the same types of cameras and cable, yet I get different results with signal quality.

I'm trying to determine what the factor is that I'm missing. Does the proximity of the video wire to a power wire have to do with signal quality? Inductance is the only reason I can come up with.

At one house, I hooked up 12 cameras over cat5 cabling with zero baluns or GLI's and the picture quality of all cameras was perfect, so I know it's not as simple as "cheap parts, cheap labor, cheap results". There's a missing puzzle piece here.

Hello, please help! I'm getting video signal interference problems. I have tried ground loop isolators, baluns, and combinations of both and STILL can't get rid of the crap on my screen!

All my installations so far have used the same cheap 12v Ebay cameras and cat5 cable. Sometimes I get interference problems, sometimes I don't. I did one installation with 12 cameras and didn't need to use a single balun-all pictures had great quality. On another 12-camera installation, I had to use baluns and GLI's on ALL cameras just to make them look half way decent, and yet still have quality issues.

Even more confusing, the installation with baluns and GLI's usually look fine during the day(although sometimes images flicker rapidly and are seizure-inducing, wtf?) but at night when IR-Cut switches to night mode, I get scrolling lines and ghost images drifting across the screen. Then they clear up and look fine when light levels change back to daytime.

I usually run 3 cameras on each cat5 cable and leave one twisted pair for power. Is having the power this close to the signal wires the cause of my problems? Does running a separate power wire have any bearing on how much interference is induced into the signal wires?

I have a typical KKMoon Chinese Ebay 8-channel DVR, 6 normal cameras connected to BNC ports and 1 IPCamera connected over the Local Area Network.

In order to show the digital cam (IPcam), I have to go to my menu-->System--Digital-->ChannelType settings and select a configuration which supports the IPcam.

BUT what I don't understand is WHY I can only have 1 IPcam, and 2 regular cams, or 8 IPcams, 0 regular cams, etc.

Why Can't I display all 6 of my regular cams AND the IPcam? It is an 8 channel DVR, I don't see why I should be limited to 3 displays when I want to view both types of cams.

Anyone know how I can change this?

Thank you.

Unfortunately this seems to be a common issue with these DVR's. I also have a crappy chinese ebay DVR, and they are so rampant, that I'm not even sure where to find any DVR's that ARENT chinese. Expecting to be able to communicate with their tech support (if any) is a futile endeavor, and aftermarket software is still something I'm hoping to find. I have a KKMoon DVR and wish I could update the software on it somehow to make it compatible with other browsers besides Internet Explorer. It depends on obsolete junky Active-X plugins and I can't even remote view it with Firefox or Chrome, only terrible IE.

Hi, does anyone know why my security camera images sometimes get these Red/Green/Blue lines?

Unplugging the power to the camera and plugging it back in solves the problem.

The connection doesn't seem corroded, voltage always tests fine. Why does this happen?

Sometimes I can go weeks without seeing the RGB lines, sometimes it happens every 1-2 days. It seems to happen after the camera switches from color to Black/White mode. I've seen it only happen to specific cameras. It's not a problem that jumps around to other cameras.

Thanks in advance.

I have had many kind of theses chinese DVR.

You can access to your cameras with differents smartphone apps from mEyeTech.

 

Try on android :

- kMeye

- Kmeye4

- vMeye

- vMeyeSuper

- vMEyeSUperHD

- xMeye

- ...

 

From a PC, you can only use Internet Explorer with ActiveX.

I don't know if there are some other 3rd part softwares.

Oh, thank you for that information!

Hello, I have a KKMoon DVR. I've figured out how to access it from my computer using a browser, but I am having trouble accessing it from a smart phone. Anyone have experience with this?

The web interface they use requires an Active-X plugin which I don't like. Even when I want to view it on a PC, there's a first-time setup I have to run through to install the plugin.

Is it possible to install any aftermarket software on this box to provide a more compatible and friendly interface? I would like to access the DVR streams on computers and smart phones without installing a bunch of plugins and stuff. If I could simply open it up in any browser without addons, apps, or plugins, that would be ideal. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

PS: Software version I have is V4.02.R11.06122114.10001.130600

I have a KKMoon DVR as well. I am still trying to figure out how to get the whole web-interface thing to work on mobile. I have successfully figured out how to bypass their "xmeye" cloud server, but the browser interface requires an ActiveX plugin to work. So far I can only get it to work on a computer, and Internet Explorer works most reliably, oddly enough. You can, however, open the camera streams with the VLC app on your smart phone, assuming you have the ports forwarded on your router. I have forwarded ports 554, 34567(media port), and 8110(dvr http port, default is 81) forwarded to my DVR's IP.

With VLC you need to open an RTSP network stream with a URL that looks like this:

rtsp://10.0.0.13:554/user=admin&password=&channel=1&stream=0.sdp?real_stream--rtp-caching=100

Obviously you'll want to put your external IP there(assuming you want to view your cams away from home), or you can use your local network IP if your phone is connected to your routers' WiFi. Change user and password to whatever your DVR is configured with. Mine is Just "admin" and blank password. Channel=1 means it will play stream 1. Change that number to whatever DVR channel you want to view.

I know it's tedious and not very good, but I will let you know as soon as I figure out a better way.
