What complete security system costs less than $500? Best, Christopher crap cameras very crap dvr thats what you get for $500.

it sounds like those cops need some more training. Hi rory. its not training they need. its the dvrs. they remove the h/drive and as soon as they connect it to a pc it wants to format. or just lately on some of the cheap stuff not only do the dvrs have passwords but when you remove the drive and install it into a reader and that is also pass worded. yes the team can spend time and get the footage off but they will not bother for say a shop lifter or a domestic dispute its just not worth it.

Hi dejota. ease of use ......(post, cant remove footage) must play footage back without 3rd party software/ ability to export recorded data to approprite mediums. none of which the secbo sdvr-b-p04 can do. my point about my post is ebay crap is crap. when cctv was about footage on a video tape end users could not go wrong now with digital end users go for price. or how many flashing lights and how it looks. without looking at the important stuff like ease of use , does it burn to pen/cd/dvd along with the player. people buy cctv for home use to protect them from problems. buying cheap crap only gives you another problem. you have some very good budget systems on the market like the Avermedia 1304 sata or the Avertech both for not alot more money. Im not aware of any UK legislation that states "must play footage back without 3rd party software" or anything similar. You should include any playback software required to view footage when you provide the footage, and if possible a guide on how to use the viewer if its not something they are likely to be familiar with. There are no definate guidelines for what is acceptable cctv footage in court, it is up the the court at the end of the day what they will allow, or not. I have never had any problem giving the police evidence that requires playback software to be used (such as geovision exports, visimetrics fastar archives). Hi Ken. dvrs like geovision and the like. the police have software to open these folders then THEY put the footage into a format for the courts. now with the system in the original post it has its own (no name) while on my travels around the uk collecting footage i can collect 3-4 a day and only 1 would be able to be used. in birmingham at the police cctv team. they collect 100 a month which only 5% will be used. so we can keep quiet on here about crap from ebay or educate people thinking of installing cctv as a d-i-y.

nice images bantham. nice clear job. was that for a customer or for yourself.

where are you based duckhere ???

Hi just down loaded the manual. first remove all software from your pc that you loaded when you installed the disk. then connect your dvr to your pc and wait for icon to come on screen click on it and it will then ask you to install the software. if you are in the uk the police or the courts will not use your footage. they also need to use the software that came with the dvr. they wont bother. like said in the other post connect a video recorder to the bnc output and record it from there. another ebay cctv system. from china. the cost of the dvr with 500g h/d £100 take away the cost of the h/d and the dvr is £50 WHY WHY BUY IT you cant even call it budget system i have paid more for a pair of socks. the most important part of a cctv system is the dvr. this is what holds the footage. the information you have recorder. if you cant get it off just put it in the bin and again if you are in the uk your footage can not be used. http://www.cctvengineer.com/home%20office.pdf SORRY ABOUT ME VENTING OFF

HI gooty. you cant go usb from dvr to usb on your pc. your pc is windows and your dvr is linux. you need to put a usb memory stick into your dvr and do your back-up to that. then play it on your pc. were are you ???

Hi wildcat. for the same money why not have a look at the nv avermedia. here is a demo. http://www.cctvengineer.com/page3.html

hi wild cat they is no differance in how you run power with pc or dedicated system.

hi ginogag just sent you a pm ..............did it make sence ???

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND WISHES FOR A GOOD NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE ON THE FORUM

hi jim. hope this helps. http://site.123securityproducts.com/pdf/EX27SeriesManual.pdf

if you keep with port 5550 then you do not need a static ip port 5550 will keep you logged on to avers dnn server Interesting... didn't know that about Aver. I'd still be inclined to setup a static IP for the server though. Seems like it could create other headaches if you didn't... Hi bpzle. its hard to try to explain how to portforward and how to set up static ip on the forum. i dont understand why isp dont give static and some do for a small cost. but ginogag has a avermedia and he will find it alot easyer to log it though aver. this will only take him 5 mins and his external ip for logging on will be http://anyname.avers.com.tw:5550 http://www.cctvengineer.com/remoteaccessingsetup.pdf and avers dnns server reg site http://ddns.avers.com.tw/

hi this might help you. http://www.cctvengineer.com/remoteaccessingsetup.pdf

port 8000 = port 80. sky will block you using this for you cctv. i have this problem with sky all the time. on the dvr set your port to 5550. then go back into your netgear and portforward 192.168.0.10 to that port 5550. then use google and type myip. this will give you your external ip. you only use this when you are away from your home. to view from home in i/e >>http://192.168.0.10:5550 from any other computer>>http://yourip:5550

it might be easyer to just put the dvr on the network. if you can tell us the make of your dvr then we can see if it is pos to do it that way. and it would not cost much.

aver have the best system on the market with this ...full d1 480fps the sa9000 pro http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?Id=147&Tab=Specification

if you are passing dvrs like avertech and avermedia which both have the spec you need. then you must have a bigger budget. i had this demo video sent to me last week from dm. also looks very good.

At last its here all avermedias on the iphone. follow link below for install app. http://www.cctvengineer.com/iPhoneViewer_pdf.pdf

that will be your hard drive. the seagate you have installed is not recomended for avermedia. we have 8 of these units out and never had that problem. in all are systems from aver we use hitachi 1tb http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?Id=253&Tab=SystemRequirement

they may be a lot of auto tracking but most of them are not good. when adventura came to ifsec in the uk one was on demo looked very good. the company is in new york. here is there demo. http://www.aventuratechnologies.com/livedemo/

instead of using a protocol from the drop down. click add and call it cctv it will then ask you for the port entre 5550.

if you have pluged another camera into port 1 and it works then its not the port. if the faulty camera works in laptop. then you only have 1 problem left. the cable to that camera. the swan is a 5 pin plug and play if i remember so you have no power supply. ???
