    new dvr box

    Is there a reasonably priced dvr that will record audio as well as video onto a usb back up.? the avtech records audio and you can hear it on playback but it doesn't put it on to the backup disc. I'm assuming this is because the box continues to record what's going on currently during a usb backup and the's only one input and output for audio and it can't do two things at once. . . . .
  2. My outside camera flicks on and off and goes off for a short time in the dark. Then it comes back on and stays on for the rest of the night. It's all right during the day. It's a good quality colour camera with a 3.5 - 8mm computar lens. Should I be tweaking one of the adjustable bits on the outside of the camera or is the fault likely to lay elswhere?
  3. Trying to view my Avtech DVR on my Nokia E61i I get the interface, put in the password but then nothing. Is there some other software I should be using. I've googled 'til I'm blue in the face but come up with nothing

    net question

    Thanks for the link to that thread but I have no difficulty recording audio and playing it back via the dvr or backing up to a disk and doing it that way. It won't, however, broadcast the sound live along with the pictures over the net.

    net question

    Bought and installed an Avtech machine only to find later that it can't broadcast sound over the net as well as pictures. (they don't mention this of course) Is there any way to do this or is there some other DVR (4ch) that will put up sound as well as pics that isn't inordinately expensive?

    ROUTER - DVR BOX ADDRESS

    Thanks for the heads up guys. Assigned a static address and is OK now. Tiscali (crap) have lowered the speed on the line now and the drop outs have ceased as well . . . .
  7. THE ROUTER PERIODICALLY DROPS OUT AND WHEN IT'S REBOOTED, IT ASSIGNS A DIFFERENT ADDRESS TO THE DVR BOX. E.G. 192.168.0.3 INSTEAD OF .2 I THEN HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO WORK TO PORT FORWARD THE NEW ADDRESS IN ORDER TO GET IT TO WORK ON THE NET AGAIN. ONLY THE DVR BOX IS CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER BY THE WAY. IS THERE A WAY ROUND THIS?

    avtech DVD Writer

    Nobody seems to know the answer to this. What would your educated guesses be?

    DVR installation questions

    They can always get at the box if they have a real mind to. I have notices saying that recordings are being monitored externally. I've also left the old video recorder there with a tape in it so they can take that. Most burglars are pretty thick so they'll recognize that and not look any further . . . . .

    AVTech's 3G Alternative Website ?

    Can't we have the address in plain text? It doesn't have to be in html.
  11. If I buy a DVD writer and change it for the CD writer in an avc 782 will it see it as a DVD and work OK? Thanks Bob

    video server E

    Thanks guys. All OK now .
  13. Default password is admin/admin. How do you alter it in the Video Server E software? I've altered it in the DVR box but can't find the way in the software at home. It says in the manual to enter the 'system config account' in the supplied software but there's no mention in there of accounts or passwords. . . Thanks Bob

    internet explorer

    I haven't updated IE or changed any settings. I checked them all three times over. It must be port forwarding OK otherwise, I wouldn't receive the pictures via the video server software. My business partner gets exactly the same at her house. She can access via software but not IE so the fault must be at the sending end (I.E. router or DVR box)

    internet explorer

    It's a static address. There's only the dvr box connected. As I said, I can view it OK at home as long as I use the video server software. It just won't show up on Internet Explorer. I've re-booted everything. The reason I need to view through IE is so that I can access the router remotely as well as the dvr box . . .
