    "Log in return time is up"

    Hi you will find it will be a firmware problem …. Your recorder is over 6 years old just some things to check …. Are your hik cameras set to h264 … or h265 … your recorder is h264 only ic realtime no longer use that China supplier anymore and don’t give support …. Ic real-time uk closed your recorder is infact a dahua nvr but I would not attempt any 3rd party software install like most dahua it will brick

    HiLook CCTV

    Hi then not being able to remove camera time is a problem its the recorders time that’s important it’s does the time line and the watermark/ signature so that’s the time which needs to be used….. and it’s also displayed on the monitor buying cctv is a mine field but if you take into account there are only a few manufacturers the headaches are looking at rebadged units take a look at your pm

    HiLook CCTV

    Hi sounds like you have the time switched on at the camera as well as recorder nvr ….. menu … edit camera switch off time display the reason why I say camera time is the recording time needs to be right which is the one that’s logged at hard drive hilook is hikvision which are troublesome at the best of times ….. I stopped fitting them over 10 years ago
  6. Hi I would say go for a 4 way recorder but then you don’t have future proof or expansion I’ll match your budget
  7. Hi viper 5mp hybrid dvr yes it will save footage to a usb drive …. But it also allows for storage direct to phone or tablet and also send footage via email I’ll send you the price you should be buying with hard drive to your pm
  8. Hi ANNKE are rebadged systems so could be a hikvision or dahua ……. TVT is a manufacturer and with dahua and Kim problems I would give them both a miss ….. it’s cheap all over the uk in some cases 60% off ….. and that’s for a reason one of the best systems on the market is the TVT It will outlast the ANNKE and much better app and easy for you to install
  9. hi …. Units that use SuperLive plus app these are TVT or viper units they are full controllable…. I have many out and not had any faults we’re are you located ?? Is this for a business?
  10. Hi good budget ….. you will be surprised the picture quality just by replacing the old DM recorder for your budget I would get a 8 way so you can still use your existing cameras and add more HD cameras when budget allows

    PTZ Dome Camera Install

    Hi even with wrong protocol you would still have video but it’s 9600 does the ptz move on command? video lose could also be a bad bnc connection or it could be something as simple as iris settings which will give a white or black screen

    PTZ Dome Camera Install

    Hi if fuse blown …. Yes it will kill everything till fuse is replaced it is also worth looking at the 240v income to control box see if the is dyed or mcb/rcd they are strong ptz cameras I have not had any failures to get into ptz menu it is a 99 command from keyboard or dvr we’re are you based

    PTZ Dome Camera Install

    Hi that is an old VCL dome and is not quite wired as it should be but it looks like in your picture of the head wiring you have a broken brown wire infact in a few places as well as the blue/white these areas need looking at first your board is also protected via a fuse which may have blown as a result of the cables mentioned……. Fuse is in the black fuse carrier next to power plugin lead on circuit board
  22. Can just see this turning into a sales pitch well that is the job of the sensor or to be more accurate it controls the lock to open microwave will only give more range which is not a good thing ….. that it’s self makes it more unreliable

    ISP Throttling

    Hi what part of the world are you in this is something you need to act on fast pos should not be going through a basic internet connection …. Basically your not protecting your customer’s information can you also name the makes of recorders you have and the app you use if you have used the qr code or P2P setup then your firewall has been disabled and this is a security risk to you and your customers Your restaurants networks need to be made secure and one way is using a managed switch….. to be used on everything but your cctv … which always stay separate
  24. Hi nice to see someone doing homework over hikvision were are you located ? There are only a few systems that are as good as logic . Do you know what resolution your existing cameras are
  25. Hi no it’s not stealing tvi format is hikvision all that is happening is a licence agreement to use it
