Does anyone have experience with a Lenel OnGuard system that has archiving turned on to a database? We are wanting to set this up but can't find clarity on how the reporting works for the archived records. There is a "use archived records" checkbox on the reporting screen. The help text on this (which is not that helpful) says: "If this check box is selected, data for an event or user transaction report is obtained from archived events/transactions in the database, rather than from the current “live” events/transactions. Archived events/transactions are those restored using the [Restore Archive] button on the Restoring form of the Archives folder." So it sounds like you have to restore archived data somehow (the details of which are super muddy) before you can run reports against the data. I would appreciate any experienced feedback on the Lenel archival to DB process, and also this weird reporting option. Regards Ian

Swann NVR Night Recording
slattery replied to relbourn's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
i never did solve the night recording double speed timing issue recording direct to the NVR, but what I have discovered is that if you record using the V2.2.8 Swann network surveillance software on a desktop PC the night vision plays back perfectly, I've only just discovered this 9 years later LOL. The disadvantage to this is your PC needs to be permanently on. Tomcctv, "Hi. One good system is the TVT …" It is a private residence that currently has 7 swann cameras. -
wifi ip camera system question
corviarbob replied to corviarbob's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
ok thanks. like i said i do not know if they will rewire for the cameras. i would have to use the bullet camera wire and they may not want to run it. and i bet they will not let me do it when the sheet rock and siding are not on the studs either. but i will redo it as i had it before with wire and not use the wifi. that is why i asked. again thanks much -
wifi ip camera system question
tomcctv replied to corviarbob's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Hi. Then this is the right time to wire your house for cameras … just use cat5 wireless cameras with dvr have never been reliable. Analog wireless are proprietary so don’t last once cameras start to fail -
i had a 20 camera system 8 bullet cameras and 8 foscams and 4 bullet cams just as backups to the foscams in 4 entry locations. all hard wired and it worked great, but i had a house fire and that took out the system of course. so when i get rebuilt i'm thinking of just going with 8 wifi cameras/dvr. i had wifi cameras before and i had so much dropout that i went to wired cameras. but i wonder if i was to get one of those wifi systems that pair with it's own dvr if that works to prevent those dropouts? i can get a 8 camera wifi system to replace the 8 bullet cams and have the house wired for those locations for power. but i'm not getting good answers to having the house wired for camera feeds. so that is why i'm asking about wifi cameras and using there won dvr if that kind of system does not have any dropouts on the feed. thanks.

Arming schedule vs Recording schedule - Hikvision
animateme posted a topic in Digital Video Recorders
Hello, I recently acquired a Hikvision DVR model IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT and found that it unfortunately does not support a function that my other Hikvision DVR model EV4008TURBOD does have. This function is the possibility to define a Recording Schedule that is different than the Arming Schedule defined for motion event recording. On the EV4008TURBOD DVR I can define a Recording Schedule based on Motion (not Event), meaning that it will record whenever motion is detected in the days/hours specified. In this same equipment, I can define a separate Arming Schedule, in the different days/hours specified, based on a Motion Event, that will trigger a "Send Email" Alarm Linkage Action. For example, I can define a Recording Schedule that will only record when motion is detected in all 24 hours / 7 days a week and on the other hand I can define an Arming Schedule that will trigger sending an email only from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when a Motion event is detected. On the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT I cannot define these functions separately. I can define the Recording Schedule based on Event (not Motion), which will only record during the days/hours defined in the Arming Schedule for the Motion Event. So, if I set the Arming Schedule to trigger sending an email from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when a Motion event is detected, the Recording Schedule will only record from 10PM to 6AM Monday-Sunday, when motion is detected. I believe that this limitation is due to the fact that the EV4008TURBOD will allow defining a Recording Schedule based on Movement (not Event), whereas the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT will only allow defining a Recording Schedule based on Event (not Motion): EV4008TURBOD IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT I have already updated to the latest Firmware on the IDS-7216HQHI-M1/XT. I will greatly appreciate any comments or ideas on how I could get this function to work on this DVR that I recently acquired, if at all possible. Thank you, animateme -
Port Forwarding not working
Sir Flannel replied to trikeusa's topic in General Analog CCTV Discussion
Is the Spectrum modem providing the outside IP address to the Linksys? Check the WAN information in the Linksys setup, if it shows an outside IP of 10.x.x.x or 172.16.x.x or 192.168.x.x, that means the Spectrum modem is providing a local IP to your Linksys, and you would have to open port forwarding on the Spectrum device as well. If you are getting an outside IP, have you tried setting the DVR in DMZ mode? -
Passive Infrared Motion detection through glass?
Sir Flannel replied to tomadom's topic in Security Cameras
What model camera are you using? Most cameras that have motion detection are not using traditional PIR motion sensors. They detect the changes in the scene. If they have IR lights, it's to enable it to see better at night. But, that won't work inside the car, because the IR emitters will reflect off the glass and blind the camera. You usually can disable IR emitters that are attached to the camera in the system settings. -
Hikvision Ip cameras Firmware
gwladok5 replied to gwladok5's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Thanks for your response. In the meanime I've signed up to Hikvisions new support page - Hik-Partner Pro There is a firmware search facility on there which works but remember it requires the last 9 characters of your device serial number! I'm not afraid of updating software/firmware! -
Hikvision Ip cameras Firmware
tomcctv replied to gwladok5's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi if your camera is working fine I recommend you don’t do a firmware update as you can’t go back if fails last update was 08/2023 https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2385G1-I/?subName=DS-2CD2385G1-I -
Hikvision Ip cameras Firmware
gwladok5 posted a topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi! Would anyone be able to let me have a working link to the Hikvision firmware portal? I'm after an update to my DS-2CD2385G1 camera Thanks -
I have a couple of Wifi security cameras which work great. I bought them to put in my car because I know someone is coming to tamper with it at some point. I do realize that there are dash cams with motion detection but they are too expensive. I'm not looking for G-Sensor technology. So the camera's I have, incorporate PIR (Passive Infrared motion detection) but the problem is that this tech doesn't seem to work though glass windows. Is there any way to make it work through glass windows? I can't put the camera's outside the care or they will get stolen. They must be in the car. What's the solution here? I need motion detection but it won't work through the glass car windows. Is there another option? Thanks

Kestrel Viewer App not working
KMc replied to All the gear no idea's topic in General Digital Discussion
Sever down again! -
The ones I am using is TP link. They don't seem to have an IP address but I will look. I have TP-Link TL-PA717 but these 2 devices do not use the internet. They are hard wired to the CCTV camera and the other hard wired to the recorder. What is the IP address to do with this? Communication of a powerline adapter is through powerlnes not through WI-FI.
-
Hi. If your using your Powerline adapters straight from out of the box they still work however if using more than 1 set then it is best to give each pair its own local iP address this is easy done by looking at the login iP of your adapters (192.168.x.x) which you will find on it ….. first pair give them a new iP something like 192.168.1.70 on both and on the other set 192.168.1.71 on both and this will stop the conflict you are getting as both are using the out of box iP (both sets are the same)
-
I have a problem with a home CCTV system. I used to work in CCTV / Designer. I have 4 cameras. 1 is connected by cable ant 2 are connected by powerline adapters. The problem is if I connect a third powerline adapter the all go off. Some sort of cross talk problem I believe. How do you guys do this with lots of cameras or are they all connected by cable. In a large complex environment, it would be difficult to cable all the cameras. Hopfully you have all the answere's!

My Hikvision camera has an alarm output circuit that locally can be configured to close the circuit on certain events. Has anyone managed to remotely control the alarm output circuit reliably?
-
Good question. I don't know. They mention these standards: Support protocol: O NVIIF, HTTP, TCP/IP, ICMP, RTSP, RTP, RTCP, SMTP, DHCP, DNS, PPPoE, NTP But that doesn't always mean it would work correctly. It's almost worth a try at that price though.

Not getting into it here, but I need to install a few cameras like this... Amazon.com : Revotech Zoom Mini POE IP Camera, HD 3MP Indoor Security Camera 2.8-12mm Manual Zoom Lens P2P Remote View CCTV Video Cam H.265 (I712-P Black) : Electronics Does anyone know what POE NVR would be compatible with it? Revotech themselves doesn't seem to make any NVR's anymore. And all the others tend to say things like "limited compatibility with other cameras than their own. Don't care brands, just need POE, 4-6 cameras that are mini like that (easily hidable), ability to review back, and of course the lower the cost the better. Thanks for recommendations.

Hi. Your problem is … it’s a lorex (dahua) not very good software for on screen or remote viewing mate you using the fusion software ??? are you on iP cameras or analog and were are you based
-
Hi Guys & Gals, I have a Lorex system installed now for a couple years and seems that either it's lacking some basic features or I'm not totally up on it's operations. I've talked to the folks at Lorex and most of them are hard to understand and they tell me the system does not have these features which seem basic. I have 12 camera's, the are Model E892DD and my DVR is a Model N862A6 1) It does not have a long recording save time, just a few days, I suppose a larger hard drive would remedy this. Seems that 30 days would be nice. Any idea of how hard the hard drive should be? Maybe part of this issue is because I am recording all the time versus just when an episode? 2) I would have thought that I could somehow get a notification when there was some movement in a specific area? 3) When in playback mode, it's very hard to look say every 30 or 60 seconds, It jumps too far forward or backwards. I have a system at my job that allows you to "stretch" the time bar to get a more finite look at playback. 4) One of my camera's constantly goes out, I have to unplug the DVR and plug it back in. When home easy to do, but when away from home and I want to view from the road.....I'm SOL. Lastly, I can't always view from my laptop when away from home, it just won't load all the time. They tell me I need a stronger connection but it also happens when I'm home on my laptop when on the home network. Would a new DRV give me the features I'm lacking? On another note....if someone could help me with these settings during a phone call while I have it up, I'd be happy to paypal you for your time. Thanks Bobby
