Hello i have to decide what cameras analog have to install . The options is dahua 4mp non statlight with motr. Lens 2.5-12mm or a 2mp starlight with same lens? Starlight is worth it?

Hi what is the requirment for choosing between those two cables cat6 23 or 24 awg? Is it how long it will be? We are talking about cctv system analog cameras

Hello, I have an existing Qvis IP cctv system. I want to add two additional cameras that aren’t Qvis own but it’s proving difficult. I have the new Cameras going through a POE switch because the Qvis Nvr won’t recognise a non Qvis camera. I can view the cameras via the IP address on a web browser but no matter what I do I can’t get them to show up on the NVR. It knows a camera is there because it asks me if I want to add it but I get the error “device type problem” the camera I’m trying to use is a Hikvision one, I’ve installed a non Qvis camera before and got it working but can’t seem to do it this time. What am I doing wrong?

Hi , Is it possible to save automatically DATA from a HIK NVR to Network HD before it gets full ? Tks !

There are more megapixel starlight/lowlight cameras coming out every day it seems. Starlight cameras can and do have IR too. Some people like to light up the area all night long with white light and leave their cameras on forced 24 color mode. Others like motion lights, it depends on what YOU want. Motorized or varifocal are great for adjusting your field of view, but cost more. Some people will get one varifocal camera, then move it around the yard to determine the best fixed lens option for different areas, then order the cheaper fixed lens cameras.

Somewhere i read that the higher resolution you get the more light sensitivy has is that right. So if i get a 4mp camera non starlight i will be dissappointed about night vision? If you have to install one of those which you will use? 4mp ir or 2 mp starlight? If you have to cover 30-40 meters is better to get a fixed lens about 3.6mm ot get a motorized? Thank you

Yes, in my opinion, starlights are worth it. You can find some comparison videos with a google search. There are some higher megapixel Dahua starlight cameras that have come out too.

Hi. It’s down to the size of the cable (conductor) 23 is best. But this does not matter if your using analog with baluns why use cat6 when cat5 is more than enough
