Actually I swapped in a power supply from an identical camera that is working fine but it didn't help. The power is at the camera, I only run the video signal thru the CAT6 with a power supply at each camera so no shared power supplies. What I finally did was change baluns again and that solved it. The baluns were all new but no name ones which I think I got from Amazon some time ago. Looks like they are hit or miss. I have several styles, these are the big ones and I suspect poor quality. So after racking my brain I decided to try baluns again as I didn't see how it could be anything else since I proved out everything else. Thanks for your reply, it's kind of quiet around here I noticed. I'm doing a major overhaul of my CCTV system plus adding an 8 channel Dahua NVR and some IP cams, I'll probably have more questions.

Hi. Can you list the baluns you used and how many pairs for power and video used also type of power supply and amp size …. And how many cameras on the power supply power supplies can start to degrade over time and get weak
-
I have several analog cameras from Rugged CCTV (now Rugged Cams) that I ran for years with CAT6 and (non-powered passive) baluns. Recently one of them stopped working, lost video signal. I replaced the baluns, I switched to another known good CAT6 pair, nothing. Then I brought the camera to the DVR and connected it with siamese and it worked. Used the same power supply, so power supply is good and IR lights up. The run is about 75 feet. Not sure where to go next

Your material is fantastic, and you're offering it to the public at no cost at all. Blogs who recognize the worth of offering a high-quality resource for free are my favorites. Play game FNAF 3 and run 3 at here -

Decent IP cams and NVR
tomcctv replied to bigb56's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Hi it’s over priced and it’s cheaper to buy two cameras to do the same job two separate cameras gives a little more protection were as the dahua dull cam one problem and both cameras go down at same time seperate cameras at least one will still be working and you save money -
Decent IP cams and NVR
bigb56 replied to bigb56's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
I also wonder how good this camera is and if it is just priced low because it is an older model https://2024onlineshop.ru/product/404325055759 -
Hard to believe I registered here in 2011, I was in the electrical business and we had stated doing camera installs but got so busy with electrical we didn't end up doing many installs, mostly CCTV and a few IP setups, plus a lot of folks just went with Ring devices etc. Anyway in the past 13 years I haven't really kept up on the tech and I retired in 2019 but here is what I am looking for: I would like to monitor a roundabout intersection in front of my house 24/7. For 14 years or more I have had a POE ACTI camera doing this connected to a PC but having issues now. I would like to go with one or two new cameras and an NVR. I would like decent resolution but not sure at what point the extra cost is not worth another tiny gain, not looking for a plate reader. The distance is about 50-60 feet from the camera location to the target area, and the camera(s) will be mounted at 14' in height. Exposed to full weather and the Arizona desert Summers. My budget is not really that tight, but like I explained don't want to spend a lot on diminishing returns. Fixed cameras are fine, no need for PTZ. Looking for suggestions and much appreciated.

I'm searching for access control system which is using remotes or hard to duplicate rfid. The main thing is that remotes are hard to duplicate same goes for rfids, it needs to be very hard or impossible to duplicate. I had some offers for rfids that use some property frequencies plus they use infrared with some encrypted keys. Also remotes have some triple floating frequencies which are hard to duplicate. Also I would need to have network access to log server on the access control, and ability to upload and disable users. This system should open and close motorized wing gates and should be able to connect proximity senors for vehicles and humans. Do you know for some affordable systems with the features that I need? -

nicobar replied to wolfgr's topic in IP/Megapixel Cameras and Software Solutions
Very same problem here, with DS-KH8350-WTE1 and KD8003. Substream of cameras I am trying to add also 640x480 h264. Is anyone able to add cameras anymore to their indoor stations? -
ongoing motion detection issues., Help
tomcctv replied to pauldawson21's topic in General Digital Discussion
Hi motion alerts has never been reliable which system do you have and how many cameras -
Hello, I am posting this As I have ongoing issues with my CCTV system. The issues which I am encountering are relating to the motion detection activation feature within the cctv system which i have set up to monitor the parameters of my home. These are motion detections being recieved by the dvr from the directly connected wired cameras installed. But there are being repeatably falsely triggered. Continuously day and night. I have looked closely into the setting relating to motion configurations on the DVRs installed operational system and everything seems to be configured correctly as far as i can see. The sensitively set for each camera seems appropriate and does not seem to be anything that is contributing to this issues re-occurrence. However despite my efforts to pin point the cause to this operating errors occurrence, I am still encountering the continuous motion detection triggers and remain puzzled in regards to a logical cause to this matter. If anyone could please help me solve this issue it will be much appreciated, sincerely your time would by myself. as it stands currently, the usage of my homes CCTV system is somewhat limited. Please anyone with good knowledge relating to this area of cctv, please do get in touch and thanks again for reading this request.

Hi, We have a Hikvision DVR for out home CCTV system. The DVR is connected to the internet for remote viewing, We already have a VM router with the Router Firewall set to maximum and access control setup so that only approved devices can connect or pass data through the router. Is there anything else that I can do to make the setup even more secure? I've read about Hardware FIrewalls and how they are used with CCTV systems commercially, has anyone used these? Thanks Marcus
-
I still could do wth a NVR that would allow remote viewing and email alarms. Would be thinking that something like that should not cost more than £200 for the NVR only.
-
Can anyone help in this email setup please?
-
Please don’t buy anything else from that company ….. £500 ($590) for one camera and a budget nvr hilook ….. which is hik cheapest unit . Should of been no more than £150 with hard drive fitted also power assisted camera £100 …. Is just a powerline adapter…. Rip off
-
I have spent about £500 on 1 camera and recorder up to now. I Can get a second camera with a power assisted connection. I have talked to cctvkit.co.uk and for £100 I can add a second. I am mainly interested in the NVR and the email here. This is a home use only system.

Recommendations for AI based NVR?
Whatthehex replied to Whatthehex's topic in Digital Video Recorders
We really like the Lumana AI system. In the demo it was very fast and easy to search for anything. Basically it is indexing A LOT of data such as car types, colors, plates, people, if they are carrying a package or not, etc. They install some hardware at your facility that does the video processing. Another benefit is that it's the hardware in the AI video processor that does all the work, vs it being done by the camera. You have advanced search functions even with totally dumb cameras. The only issue is that it gets rather pricy as you are charged a monthly fee per camera. That lead us to start looking to see if something similar is available that one can purchase rather than pay a monthly fee. We probably don't do the volume of searches that would make the cost of Lumana justifiable to management but we are interested in something like that which allows the feed from any camera to be used for advanced searches. We're located in CA. Our Hikvison NVR was ~$5,000. Budget depends on what it can do and what it may be able to save us in terms of being able to use cheaper cameras and waste less time when we do searches. If we had the Lumana system we'd probably do a lot more searches because it's so easy and fast to look for staff not doing their job for opportunities to boost productivity, etc. Now we only do searches when something big happens that we need to document. I've never tried a PC based NVR. Not sure if using a PC based system might be better than using the Hikvision. -
Hi Paul what is your budget and amount of cameras used also your location
-
Sorry for not getting back to anyone here but I am still trying to get to grips with this. To use SMTP you'll need the username & password of that email account to send from. The from is the NVR. It's the to is mine. I have a sender and a sender address. Is this the email address of the NVR? It does not have an email address I am asuming receiver 1,2,3 is for sending up to 3 emails to diffrent email address's This is waht have now.
-
putting it in a box will make it worse as heat generated by the camera would add to it. I had a problem a few years ago in putting a camera inside a nuclear power plant. Not easy.

Hi. Thank you for your previouse help with powerline connections. As stated in that I do have a HiLook NVR but acording to the manual I can get email notifications and remote view using by http::/< ip address of NVR>. However it does not have an IP address label on it. I am wondering if you can point me in the (UK) direction of a resonably priced NVR that does both emails and remote viewing. I would even like remote reording on a PC if tyhat were possible with web browser extensions or apps. Ta Paul.

Something like this … but you will need a power supply for camera or use a Poe switch at camera end ( switch will power 4 cameras) https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-PL1000-100UKS-Powerline-Ethernet-Homeplug/dp/B01BD9TFI4/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2U4QPD997NOCT&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qvm_gQ5Qeh4zIWqKJzeCuHkCulZ3PqCLnHGXSA1Ehc3C5P-t_FIXo1YEHJWYqO8_r1BMyuf-31Jqkri7rAEfzIij5RuXp7-OGvTdGoMUSVedYV2xRuh7Ji_bZHnYdFGAnNMr_ksy3u78YupWNhEnuf-JwPdw65F8bYS-6Pz6lcshNyAHGaFGGdLIyfclX2pknuglHxzdz4YxcqTkBXp4rw.dbe8pGwa4i5i7AseQMVb4DnjrBA6-dUudpqvZU0EXVg&dib_tag=se&keywords=netgear+powerline+1000&qid=1712609155&sprefix=netegear+power%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-3

Thanks for that. I suspected it. Thanks Paul.

Hi when an over priced company lies to you then it’s a hint they have no clue powerline adapters have been around for years and IS NOT NEW TECHNOLOGY by them just buy a set of netgear powerline adapters and you have the same and work on any iP camera and don’t buy anything from that company they have listed 1 cam 1 nvr for £1.200 ($1.800) that has to be the most expensive one cam system in the world and that’s not fitted
