Hi. neoharvest. you will need to give more info. type of dvr/recorder. i am not a big fan of mac. but i do know that alot of dvrs can not be viewed on them. also pm THE WIRE GUYS on here. he is like the pc/mac guru on here.

you will get very good day and night from small bullit cameras. links to mob dvrs and a demo link DVRs http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Products.aspx?CID=16 DEMO http://www.moretonalarms.com/taxi/video.html

i use biwire alot of the time for run that size. the good thing about these unit is they come with power unit. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.markertek.com/Routers-Switchers-DA%27s/Video-Distribution/Biwave-Technologies-Inc/productImage/BIG/VDS-2100.JPG&imgrefurl=http://www.markertek.com/Routers-Switchers-DA%27s/Video-Distribution/Biwave-Technologies-Inc/2100L05-2200L05.xhtml&usg=__K2yaWZiAnosboCAPMbSGV7ch8sI=&h=225&w=225&sz=48&hl=en&start=1&um=1&tbnid=7zZ9h1KdMw3yIM:&tbnh=108&tbnw=108&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dbi%2Bwire%2Bvds%2B2100%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:*:IE-SearchBox%26um%3D1

Hi EFEZY. in places were its going to be dark install good black/w cameras with ir. dont use colour ir flashing lights play about with colour. and were you can entrance/bar areas use a good colour camera without ir. night clubs and low light bars are always hard to do with so many lighting conditions. i.e ultraviolare lights strobs and many other bright colours. if you are in the uk you are quite welcome to go and see an install in london 32 camera system to see the quality.

Hi eRepair. that system has been around for a year or so. not a bad unit i have 8 units out. never had a problem. anyway back to your problem. the hikvision dvr is called a colossus here in the uk. here are the full manual/remote viewing well everything you need http://www.adata.co.uk/default.asp?txtaction=selectfolder&txtid=/support/downloads/Colossus

Hi Dodge. there is not much between them the nv3000 & nv500 works with o/s windows 2000 and windows xp the nv3000lite and the nv5000lite works with o/s windows xp and windows vista

Hi braven. nice to see you sorted it. sounds like an ip conflict. so you have got passed that problem i will give you another. well its not a problem just another way to view your dvr. if you have a smartphone i.e nokia here is the settings for you. these settings are not in manual but works for any avermedia. just put these setting into any smartphone or windows mobile as is below to view on mobile. use caps were needed let me know how you got on. http://your ip:port/JAVA-Viewer.html

Hi dean. a very big user of the conexant capture cards or a company called hikvision. i had a dvr system that was built in poland the customer purchased the system from a company that would not help him at all. i also could not do anything with the dvr as it was locked up. hikvision sent me drivers and dvr sofware and everything ran ok. that was hikvision in the uk. here is the usa site. http://www.hikvision-usa.com/cards.html

Hi jason. try a company called sct in london for cards plus you will get good support. if you are not in london area drop me a pm were you are and i will let you know the closest to you. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Products.aspx?CID=5 also have a look at nv card demo. http://www.cctvengineer.com/page3.html

Iwould also recommend scorpion. but if you are in the uk i would try cctvengineer.com

Hi artan. change the time and date on the pc you are running active x on to a date in 2008 then reset time and date once you have down loaded. see if that sorts it.

Hi lifgard did you take the footage off from the usb ??? the best way would be to hook your digia up to your local network it gives you the option on formats to save to

the pelco also has on screen o/s with ptz controls Local and Remote PTZ Control Third-Party PTZ Protocols the moxa will auto set your usb to com port 2 in the on screen ptz set-up. just looking at cost set-up for you plus if you just use a controller you will not be able to control your ptz from internet viewer. extra ptz controller $120 moxa $40

Hi bs953 i have used these in the past for pelco dvrs to control ptz cameras. http://www.moxa.com/product/UPort_1130_1130I.htm

It still may record at 30FPS per channel but I doubt it will do that at the 720x480 res, it probably drops it down to CIF 352 × 288. Check it out and lets see. i am with dopalgangr. not only do you have recording issues with this unit but a good giveaway is remote is only java or quick play. which means you cant playback footage remote viewer. just screens and no controls.

Hi milancole. i am in the uk. and i use this system . it is in your budget. it is the new avermedia but i cant see it on avermedia usa website. might be worth giving them a call. the link below will give you the spec. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=242

I made it work through web interface, can see it with good quality and good frame rate. Did also make it work through internet, configured my router with dyndns. But now i can't make it work with the remote console program. Each time i try to access it only shows 1 frame and freeze. I tried it in 4 different computers. 2 intel based and 2 amd based, win xp and vista. I each of these i can view it with the web application but now with the Remote Console. HI Braven. so you have it now working on web interface ??? your problem now is you are using a disk with remote console. (DO NOT USE THE DISK) remove remote from your pc. and do the following. 1, make sure your port on your eb1304 is set to 5550. (also port on router) 2, when you have the web interface working with all 4 cameras. on the interface screen you have icons on the right side. click on the second one up from the bottom. it will start to download the remote console from your dvr automatic. and it will also load remote console icon to your desktop.

so you just want the dvr audio to play back though the speakers ??? why not just leave there paging system alone and put in a new set of pre-amp speakers.

Hi parushton. scorpion has given you very good advise. but with him being in a very hot part of the world florida. (lucky guy) he will not know about your internet provider. sky broadband will block external connection to your router. and they will not give you or let you use a static ip. this is a big problem in the uk with sky most people have to change or add another phone line and broadband to get past this. also talk talk and virgin broadband are trying to do the same. however if you talk to sky and tell them what you are trying to do they might unlock that side of the router (i take it is a sky netgear ?) but they will add a monthly charge.

thiscentury do NOT stock cameras. a guy in kent tried to order from them. now he is only 7.5 mile from them. first you have to pay up front you cant collect and its 15 to 20 days delivery. yes tweety very cheap cameras if you get them in the end.

also take a look at these systems. http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=57 and also the t-eye it has been voted one of the best in car cctv systems on the market you can also see demos on youtube. http://www.tracker-usa.com/The-EYE-T-Eye_p_10.html

At its most basic level, compression is performed when an input video stream is analyzed and information that is indiscernible to the viewer is discarded. Each event is then assigned a code - commonly occurring events are assigned few bits and rare events will have codes more bits. These steps are commonly called signal analysis, quantization and variable length encoding respectively. There are four methods for compression, discrete cosine transform (DCT), vector quantization (VQ), fractal compression, and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Discrete cosine transform is a lossy compression algorithm that samples an image at regular intervals, analyzes the frequency components present in the sample, and discards those frequencies which do not affect the image as the human eye perceives it. DCT is the basis of standards such as JPEG, MPEG, H.261, and H.263. Vector quantization is a lossy compression that looks at an array of data, instead of individualvalues. It can then generalize what it sees, compressing redundant data, while at the same time retaining the desired object or data stream's original intent. Fractal compression is a form of VQ and is also a lossy compression. Compression is performed by locating self-similar sections of an image, then using a fractal algorithm to generate the sections. Like DCT, discrete wavelet transform mathematically transforms an image into frequency components. The process is performed on the entire image, which differs from the other methods (DCT), that work on smaller pieces of the desired data. The result is a hierarchical representation of an image, where each layer represents a frequency band. Compression Standards MPEG Stands for the Moving Picture Experts Group MPEG is an ISO/IEC working group, established in 1988 to develop standards for digital audio and video formats. There are five MPEG standards being used or in development. Each compression standard was designed with a specific application and bit rate in mind, although MPEG compression scales well with increased bit rates. They include: MPEG-1 Designed for up to 1.5 Mbit/sec Standard for the compression of moving pictures and audio. This was based on CD-ROM video applications, and is a popular standard for video on the Internet, transmitted as .mpg files. In addition, level 3 of MPEG-1 is the most popular standard for digital compression of audio--known as MP3. MPEG-1 is the standard of compression for VideoCD, the most popular video distribution format thoughout much of Asia . MPEG-2 Designed for between 1.5 and 15 Mbit/sec Standard on which Digital Television set top boxes and DVD compression is based. It is based on MPEG-1, but designed for the compression and transmission of digital broadcast television. The most significant enhancement from MPEG-1 is its ability to efficiently compress interlaced video. MPEG-2 scales well to HDTV resolution and bit rates, obviating the need for an MPEG-3. MPEG-4 Standard for multimedia and Web compression. MPEG-4 is based on object-based compression, similar in nature to the Virtual Reality Modeling Language. Individual objects within a scene are tracked separately and compressed together to create an MPEG4 file. This results in very efficient compression that is very scalable, from low bit rates to very high. It also allows developers to control objects independently in a scene, and therefore introduce interactivity. MPEG-7 This standard, currently under development, is also called the Multimedia Content Description Interface. When released, the group hopes the standard will provide a framework for multimedia content that will include information on content manipulation, filtering and personalization, as well as the integrity and security of the content. Contrary to the previous MPEG standards, which described actual content, MPEG-7 will represent information about the content. MPEG-21 Work on this standard, also called the Multimedia Framework, has just begun. MPEG-21 will attempt to describe the elements needed to build an infrastructure for the delivery and consumption of multimedia content, and how they will relate to each other. JPEG Stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is also an ISO/IEC working group, but works to build standards for continuous tone image coding. JPEG is a lossy compression technique used for full-color or gray-scale images, by exploiting the fact that the human eye will not notice small color changes. JPEG 2000 An initiative that will provide an image coding system using compression techniques based on the use of wavelet technology. DV A high-resolution digital video format used with video cameras and camcorders. The standard uses DCT to compress the pixel data and is a form of lossy compression. The resulting video stream is transferred from the recording device via FireWire (IEEE 1394), a high-speed serial bus capable of transferring data up to 50 MB/sec. H.261 An ITU standard designed for two-way communication over ISDN lines (video conferencing) and supports data rates which are multiples of 64Kbit/s. The algorithm is based on DCT and can be implemented in hardware or software and uses intraframe and interframe compression. H.261 supports CIF and QCIF resolutions. H.263 Based on H.261 with enhancements that improve video quality over modems. It supportsCIF, QCIF, SQCIF, 4CIF and 16CIF resolutions. H.264 H.264, also known as MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding), is a video compression standard that offers significantly greater compression than its predecessors. The standard offers up to twice the compression of the current MPEG-4 ASP (Advanced Simple Profile), in addition to improvements in perceptual quality. The H.264 standard can provide DVD-quality video at under 1 Mbps, and is optional for full-motion video over wireless, satellite, and ADSL Internet connections. DivX Compression DivX is a software application that uses the MPEG-4 standard to compress digital video, so it can be downloaded over a DSL/cable modem connection in a relatively short time with no reduced visual quality. The latest version of the codec, DivX 4.0, is being developed jointly by DivXNetworks and the open source community. DivX works on Windows 98, ME, 2000, CE, Mac and Linux. Terms Lossy compression - reduces a file by permanently eliminating certain redundant information, so that even when the file is uncompressed, only a part of the original information is still there. ISO/IEC International Organization for Standardization - a non-governmental organization that works to promote the development of standardization to facilitate the international exchange of goods and services and spur worldwide intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity. International Electrotechnical Commission - international standards and assessment body for the fields of electrotechnology Codec - A video codec is software that can compress a video source (encoding) as well as play compressed video (decompress). CIF - Common Intermediate Format - a set of standard video formats used in videoconferencing, defined by their resolution. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). QCIF - Quarter CIF (resolution 176x144) SQCIF - Sub quarter CIF (resolution 128x96) 4CIF - 4 x CIF (resolution 704x576) 16CIF - 16 x CIF (resolution 1408x1152

mike no problem mate. my fault for not making my self clear.

also unistall your remove your viewer from pc and reinstall when you are on your active x set-up under network type click on 512k this will make your system alot faster. if you have installed all your web viewer and remote viewer from disks remove them because you dont need then.

Hi Braven. do you mean the eb1304 sata net ??? and can you tell us your ports you have set-up and type of router.
