  1. Hi. One good system is the TVT … I have been using them for installs the last 6 years it also has one of the best apps available with full control over the system the only problem with that Swann system is the cameras won’t work on anything else how many cameras are you looking for and what type of property will be protected ?
  2. Hi this still depends if windows based of Linux based ……. Most Linux based DVRs only store the recorded data on the hard drive …… will still run without hard drive fitted but no storage
  3. Hi it depends on your DVRs operating system …. In your case it sounds like an old windows based …. In this case settings are stored on the hard drive…….. hard drive is split in two known as a partition… one part master (for settings and operating software……. And other part is storage (recordings ) usually found on geovision or avermedia

    SuperLive plus

    Hi. Switch self adaptation off on your phone app …. Under local settings …… top left button. then go to a camera on your normal app screen …. At bottom you will see a square with a pic of an eye …. Click on that then click high definition then back to normal screen then again click the same box with eye in it and select super definition and that will then hold your settings other problems can be how your getting data to your recorder to router …. Is it direct cable or a Wi-Fi device

    Help with AXIS A8105-E

    Hi $40 it’s a good option …… keeps your camera recording to the SD card …. So also a good backup option while no power

    Help with AXIS A8105-E

    Hi this will have nothing to do with vms many cameras that go to default are not the settings you need …. I am surprised for that money the axis has no battery backup i had a problem like yours on another brand of camera …… no volume or home save on a ptz depending on the time your camera is down a ups supply might be a better option for you and not for a lot of money this is similar to what I used https://powerwalker.com/product/10120450/

  13. Hi then it’s not compatible with your nvr it was first produced in 2012 I will PM you
  14. Hi …. I was up there last week ardrossan it looks like your using the old hik (2012) your new camera is not compatible as is out of the box ……. You will need to connecting to a computer and alter its settings out of the box it is h265 and 5mp you need to set to h264 and either 1080p or 720p for it to show on your nvr so in reality it’s pointless running a camera you have to downgrade the settings on is this for home or business use ?
  15. Hi can you check the nvr product number ??? does yours have a DVD hard drive fitted ? we’re are you based

  17. tomcctv

    upgrade

    Hi Power line plugs are the quickest and cheapest way something like this https://www.argos.co.uk/product/6695749 also another benefit of having one of these at gates (if electric) you can open with your mobile or cars with built in gate openers like a Range Rover (a network adapter is needed ..£20 from Amazon) the viper is not a basic system but only one of a few systems in the uk which is NDAA compliant I will pm you details

    Software to access NVR

    Cameras Poe …… can either be connected cat5 from camera direct to nvr (Poe) if nvr supports poe cat5 from camera to a Poe switch and either then connected to nvr via one cat5 from switch or connected to a router that nvr is also connected too your server port 8000 ……you need to change that to 5550 …. And also change it on your pc software configuration of nvr software

    upgrade

    Hi. With power at gates you can use a normal iP camera and send the data down your existing power supply …. Which is much better than wireless York nice place I am in Chester I would start doing homework on a system called the viper …. Nvr and cameras best remote viewing app works with most cameras I have not had a system fail yet

    Software to access NVR

    Hi. This is a discontinued unit and last support was 7 months ago but that should not stop functions working unless nvr or cameras have had a software update are you Poe camera to nvr or on a network what cameras are you using and one of the main problems with that system was ports….. under network is your nvr using port 8080 …. If so change to 5550 and also change settings on pc application to match.

    H.264 DVR Networking Setup Help!?!?

    Hi getting IR to work through windows never works it just blinds out the camera switching IR off still leaves your IR filter in place unless you have something like a flood light outside of window

    upgrade

    Hi there is always a better option than Swann …. In your case it’s a hikvision/ hi-look buying proprietary equipment is just a waste of money it’s always best to buy a system that is available to use most makes of cameras what is your budget
