I bought it as a home system, not something to protect Fort Knox. Within 36 hours of installing it, I caught a vandal slitting my tires. It may not be the best on the market, and the support from the manufacturer is not existant but it does the job and that makes it worth the 600 bucks I spent on it.

Are you out of your mind??????
I am not selling you a DVR!
My customers buy what they want to buy based on the money in their pocket!
Now with your permission may I feed my family, and buy my toys, or shall I just allow these customers to go somewhere else and buy the cheapest Samantha Club, or a CostyLLC, or god forbid an all in one box with RJ11 connectors????
Do I really have to let these dollars walk away from me???
I do not install Pelcos at the house of the "little old lady" because I do not have the time to show them how to use the mouse to set record time line, and to set the motion time line plus all of the other simple settings that appear difficult to them.
On top of that I do not want a band of "little old ladys" calling on a day to day basis asking "How do I log in to the computer"? OK, now how do I log in to the software again".
I want all of these people to leave me alone!!!! If I can hand them an AVTech, and it meets their specs, (and not yours) and I can give them above board tech support when they really need it then everyone is happy.
Please SELL ME YOUR FAVORITE DVR to me at $200.00 US, and I will pass this on to the little old lady for you so that she can have the latest, and the greatest.
PS
I want your home phone number too as I will have them call you for help.
OH oh! My wife says that I am ranting again!
Now she is telling me to think of icy, blue, cool water.
Now breath.
OK! I am better now! Excuse me for acting silly!!
Now RickA will come along and dog me out for ranting!
I am sorry cctvintegration.
PS
There are cheaper DVRs as well. |
$200.00 ????
You should be paying 135.00 from one of maybe 500 online sellers of the 760
The success and the RIGHT thing to do is educate a buyer, regardless of their budget. You'll never convince me that even a cheap buyer wouldn't shell out another 50 dollars or so for an H.264 that AT LEAST HAS A DARN USB port to back up data.
Oh wait, I forgot, with the 760 you can connect a PC to the network port and back up video that way, after spending two days with the little old lady, and then you can burn a cd for the police and then the attorney will tell the judge the video isnt admissable because its changed formats twice.
While we're ranting, the 760 records local images in MPEG4 "software misery" format, yet sends images over the net in massive MJPEG file sizes. Is it me, or is that as backwards as it gets?
marketing marketing marketing marketing and education. Every buyer in the world would gladly fork over a measly 50 dollars more for a dvr that features usb backup, hardware compression, and doesnt log jam the internet transferring those massive MJPEG file sizes. geeeeeeeez

I leave for a few days and come back to a pair ranting about what a customer is going to purchase for a dvr!!! We try to sell the best fit for the customer and we try to persuade the customer that we are trying to effectively protect his/her best interest and not overcharge for their best quality and ability to capture any thing that might ocurr. Nice manuscript Scorpion!!

Hey RickA!
I was in the wrong, and I should have kept my mouth shut.
I am scared to death to tell him that I sell the hell out of these devices, and I would hate to hear what he would have to say about this device!!
http://eclipsecctv.com/LYNXC_security_DVR.html
It does not have H.264, and it does not have a USB port.
Oh boy! What to do, what to do???
I finally got moved out of the house, and in to an apartment. I just got internet today on Monday. I look forward to getting "caught up".
Now I remember why I hate moving! LOL!
P.S.
Wet cardboard boxes of various sizes for sell! Scratch that!
Aqua based containers for sale cheap!
Now I know how much stuff can fit in one of those portable "dumpsters"!

haha the "M" is the mainboard... e.g. AVC787 mainboard is 787M.
A DVR with a 760M mainboard is an AVC760.
I think you will find what has happened is the firmware upgrade you have used was not compatible with the firmware revision you had.
This is why the original firmware was missing the MCU.BIN and PLAYER.BIN
PLAYER.BIN is the active X control for the web interface from memory.
MCU.BIN I don't really know but it could be the boot loader or similar.
The solution to these types of problems is to replace the mainboard... unfortunately AVT are selective about doing this and will usually not replace a board for the end user.

Hey BurstElement!!!
Where have you been???
Nice to hear from you again!!
Thanks for the info!!!
Do you know of any way of recovering these boards besides replacing them??
To me it seemed better to buy a new DVR then for me to buy the main board as the costs were about the same!!

There would be a way to do it but AVT hold all those cards close to their chest... they have a self test interface built into the DVR that is activated by the rs232 interface that I tried to get them to give me info on for ages... after I argued that without this tool we could not effectively eliminate customer damaged returns and they chose to repair non-warranty machines FOC rather than letting me know their secret service mode details.
