You need to figure out a way to plug some kind of monitor directly into the cameras to test. Also, I don't trust powerbox LEDs. Use a volt meter to see if you are send proper voltage to the cameras. It's possible the power supply is bad and is supply just enough power for the LEDs but not the cameras.

That mostly depends on the camera. As long as Avermedia supports the IP camera's protocol, the sytem can capture the maximum frame rate that the camera is capable of producing. There is no standard "full resolution" ip camera like there is for analog. Analog technology caps out pretty quickly... IP not so much. The largest that I'm aware of is Avigilon's 16 megapixel ip camera. But I'm sure someone somewhere will out-do it someday though, if not already. Again, frame rate and resolution are dependent on the IP camera. This varries from manufacturer to manufacturer, model to model.

What model? Can you post a snapshot? I just looked at their site... I've never purchased anything from them, but it looks to be the same Chinese junk everyone else is selling. The only difference is their markup looks a lot higher which probably leads people to believe the products are better.

You're reading this correct. I personally don't pay much attention to Aver's 8 channel cards. For only a couple hundred bucks more you can get the 6480 which has 16 channels that you can mix/ match analog or IP cameras how you wish. More than 10fps (actually 7fps IMO) at D1 is totally necessary anyway, as you mentioned. You're not making block buster hits, just storing valuable evidence for as long as possible.

Ok, so I know that I'm in Texas and all and I have zero experience in CCTV installs for cold weather... BUT I do know a few things about electronics. Cameras (any electronics) give off heat. The more power they draw, the bigger chance they have of creating heat. Meaning, an IR camera would create more heat. Use a weatherproof housing, and it will retain that heat better. Not to mention keep out any condensation. SO, my suggestion is, use a camera with integrated IRs and use an outdoor rated housing even though the camera will be for indoors. I personally think that nearly any camera that meets these specs would fair well under these circumstances with no wind or perception/ snow directly hitting it. If anyone with cold weather experience disagrees, please interject and correct me like I know you want to.

IR light that throws 50 meters is a pretty tall order. There are very few cameras out there with integrated IRs that can actually do this, regardless of what you read on a manufacturers/ suppliers web page. It will be much more cost effective to have motion sensing flood lights. If you must have IR that can throw that far, I would recommend using a true day night (ICR) camera, and a high powered external IR illuminator. This will give you much better results and won't restrict you to a small handful of makes/ models.

PM me!

Then don't charge the customer. Have you talked to Nuuo tech support? Can you have them TeamViewer to the machine? If you have to, uninstall Nuuo. Reboot. Then search under registry files for anything related to Nuuo and delete. Reinstall Nuuo. Reboot and test. I've had this resolve issues nothing else did...

What's different about this machine then? Video card,ram, processor, antivirus, firewall?

I thought CNB stopped production on them...

Great camera and brand, but it's not day/night like you said you wanted. As I mentioned before, I think Axis is going to be out of your price range if you're wanting day/night.

As far as I know, Axis does not have any day/night cams in his price range.

Oh... well in that case your budget is very do-able. Check out ACTi.com They have several models that meet what your looking for. Below is my list of bad to best brands (my experiece and opinion) of IP cameras in your price range. ACTi is the only one I would use. Cheap Chinese off brands, Foscam, Logitech, Pixord, Vivotek, ACTi.

Sorry bud, I just reread your original post. For some reason I thought you were wanting megapixel resolution... But since you didn't mention it, I'm assuming that isn't a requirement? Is this camera going to be used outdoors?

Not necessarily correct. It depends on your ISP and how many IPs they give you. With mine, I can plug three devices into a switch and into the cable modem, and each will get a unique "outside" IP. Yeah thats correct, back in the day before routers I had a client that had to buy 2 IPs from the ISP to use the switch for 2 computers/dvrs. This is true. Way back when I remember we had to buy 2 IPs from the ISP. For each additional IP it was like $5... But now that routers are so cheap, not sure why anyone would want to do that...

The angle of view degree is just that. Since the camera has a varifocal lens, the camera can view from 20 to 110 degrees. Think of the camera's field of view like a triangle, with the tip of the triangle the lens. The farther away a scene is (or the widest the varifocal lens is adjusted to), the wider an area the camera will capture. I have a camera in mind for you.. Better than CNB but also in your price range. It's a bullet camera, but the mounting bracket for it is lockable and vandal resistant since the wires tuck away inside it and are not visible. It has powerful "smart IRs" that eventhough they will throw about 75', they won't wash out images near the camera. It's has 620tvl of resolution and ICR aka it's a true day/night. It's become our go to camera for nearly any outdoor requirement both high and low budget jobs. PM me your email and I'll send you demo pics/ more information. I can even do a live demo over the internet for you if you'd like.

Yikes. There's your problem! Cheap Chinese too-good to be true and inflated spec sheets for pennies on the dollar of real cctv gear. You might get lucky if they have tech support/ warranty. I know just enough about their equipment to stay far away. Sorry man... Just had a thought though, did you buy and install your own HDD? If so, what's the make/ model of that? I have seen, even with higher end units that Western Digital Green drives won't write fast enough and flake out if there is a lot of activity. Western Digital overall is good, just not the Green ones when it comes to CCTV at least. And if you have a choice, stay away from Maxtor, Seagate, and Hitachi. I've replaced a whole ton of those due to failure.

2 routers = no fun. The easiest solution is to use the second router as a switch. On the second router, disable the DHCP server and do not use the "internet" or "wan" port on the back of the router to connect the 2 routers together. Use the ethernet ports on the back of each router to connect the two. This essentially turns the second router into a switch/ access point.

Nuuo does not support 64bit OS for the client software. You'll have to use the web broswer client on that machine. Is that your problem? I've seen this before.

what's the make/model?

Check my post in your original thread for your problem. I think that should help. If not PM me.

Define: "far into the dark." How far? I've never heard of the brand either. However, I can tell you that 120feet of IR built into a vandal dome is a bold faced lie. Not going to happen... I would be suprisied if they threw even 50ft from the camera, esp outdoors. It is extreamly rare for cameras with intgrated IRs to throw (real world) more than 50feet, and I'd go as far to say impossible in your price range. However, if there is any kind of ambient light this will work in your favor. A good quality, true day/night camera will only need IRs in zero light, not low light. Cheap cameras need it for both.

Is your DVR plugged directly into the modem? Is it the only device plugged into the modem? If you're using a switch/ hub without a router this will not work. You must have a router to "route" or more like forward the ports to the appropriate local IP. If the DVR is the only thing plugged into your modem this will work but your DVR must be setup for DHCP as it will be getting a WAN IP from your ISP. You will not have a local IP address. This is most likely dynamic so in that case your DVR must support DDNS for when your ISP changes the lease on your IP address. That can and will happen frequently. Using DDNS will allow you to punch in "userdefined.ddns.org" or whatever to be directed to your DVR, regardless of the ever changing IP address issued by your ISP. The last thing you should check is to make sure your ISP is not blocking specific ports. This is very commom, esp port 80. Clear as mud?

Cat5e isn't flexible??? You may be confused about what cat5e is... I don't think it gets much more flexible than that! You're trying to reinvent the wheel by making it square. Stop it! Use cat5e and baluns.

Cat5 is stone age?? Say what? Cat5 can run all 3 at once, in one jacket: power, audio, and video. (audio would work, but it may be a little hummy since its unshielded and ran so close to power) This is your best solution if you want thin cable. You're really looking for what they call "simple cable" and you'll find it by the truck loads. It's marketed to DIYers, who don't have tools to terminate cables and who primarily buy the cheapest of the cheap of everything bc they are not educated in basic electronic theory. Therefore, the only thin simple cable they make is extremly cheap, and breaks a lot of simple rules for carrying good quality signals/ voltage. This stuff WILL degrade your signal and WILL give you poor results, no matter how good or bad the camera is. Also with the thin AWG, you run the risk of voltage drop, which causes current draw to increase. Lots of bad things can happen there...
