hi. jamesd. i think soundy is spot on with his info..... and its not volts you need to test at camera end its amps. i would also power the cameras from garage if you can. and that way you could add another 2 cameras to your system with your cat5

i have used strob lights in the past. have a look at link http://www.electrotec-alarms.co.uk/12-volt-strobes.html

KVM do very good splitters 2-4-8 way. http://www.kvm-switches-online.com/video-splitters.html

hi aliciac. in the uk the best port to use is around 5550. bt/virgin/talktalk/ will keep blocking other ports. so try setting your port 5550. yes kent is far away but i am in that area at least once a month but i think changing your port will sortout your problem.

hi. aliciac. sorry its been a while since i have been on here. how far are you from chester ???

like i said once focus is set it is set for day or night. you focus the lens. nothing to do with day or night opperation. so what your saying chris is after every install you have to go back at night to focus the cameras again.

hi just got a dvr (avermedia) on iphone real time. i used one of these. http://www.slingmedia.com/go/products

hi stuhar. it wont be the focus once focus is set its set. you say you have a street light by your camera ??? this could be a problem......cameras with ir also have to turn b/w at night the street light might just be giving your camera to much light to let it turn b/w ..........so it sounds like your camera is viewing ir with colour which will show bad pic as ir and colour is no good. another problem is over power check your power supply

hi destro_23. here are the settings for viewing all avermedias on smartphone or blackburry and a refresh viewer for iphone. smartphone/blackburry. http://yourip:5550/JAVA-Viewer.html iphone. http://yourip:5550/mobile all avermedias should use there standard port 5550 if you use port 80 it will not work with smartphones

hi sje_123. full d1 recording 25fps on each camera is the best. and for what you are going to pay for 480tvl cameras you are best just putting a bit more money for 550tvl it will give you better recording for d1. but for a system in your budget take a look at this dvr. http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=18 what part of uk are you in. ???

marty. hotdeals dont ship from usa there is cheap and even cheapper stayaway from both. i buy from america to install in the uk. and looking at your price range then have a look at the link. http://www.avermedia-usa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=18 i have over 40 of these systems out and have had no problems at all. 25 fps on each camera ptz controler. internet viwer and mobile viewer. and d1 recording upto 28 days.

for a good diy camera for home but you dont want to run cables then have a look at this site i have install a few of these. just replace security light. http://www.securesight.com/vl1_camera_recorder_floodlight

what make of dvr are you trying to install hd ????

hi. alicia. the internet side is easy. the ip you posted is a local ip address you can only use this when connected to the router by wire or wireless that the cctv is connected. away from your home you need your service ip. go to google from the router your cctv is on and type myip. it will give you your s/p ip then try http://your ip address:80

2 wire i have done so many hi. scorpion. the 2 wire will not find any ip of anything you plug into it. what it will do under attached devices it will give your dvr a mac address why 2 wires do this i dont know. so you need to find your mac address in its drop down menu click on it then you have the option to give it a local ip then it is port forward as usual

hi. try putting the power supply closer to the camera. or try a bigger power unit 1000ma 12v. does your camera have ir.??

hi. if you wish to add cameras at a later date then you are best with the avermedia either the sa6416e or the rack mount sa9000e. both are very good dvrs. both have face finder and both have very good pos. very good speeds over the internet and easy mobile viewer set-up. if you wish to remote dial into one of my systems to see the frame rate then please send me a email. i can send you the ip for a 16 way with standard cameras and i also have a 16 way with 6 ip cameras. http://www.cctvengineer.com/page3.html here is a small demo of a 16

mobotix is a very good camera for your needs have a look at the demo on the link. http://www.mobotix.com/eng_GB/Products/Cameras/Hemispheric-Q24

also it will only add player to footage if you burn to dvd. if you use cd-r then you need qplayer

hi we have casinos in the uk but we have to use a company in usa for are dvrs this is the only blu-ray dvr it is the top casino dvr on the market. http://www.aventuratechnologies.com/pdf/Real-Time%20Casino%20Solution_v01.2.pdf

the little monitor on the front gives it away are you in the uk ??? you can send a pic to my website. if its the unit with the small screen in the middle i will have a manual

hi steve. i am in chester. i have systems in longeaton and nottingham citycentre. i use avermedia great for mobile viewing and does lots more compered to most. take a look at my website.

jj27 were are you located. is your system in a place were people can play with it ?? if so set it up again reboot and then take keyboard and mouse away and see how it goes. you can also check in the log and see what has been happening. it will even tell you who has been logging into your system. i know this is basic stuff but you need to find out in its human error or machine problems. stopping and starting recording sounds human error. have a look on my website under about us you will see a pic of me with andrew he is software designer for avermedia i am having a meeting with him thursday i will show him your post.

dvr cards are very good and is the way to go. but and a BIG BUTT. if you or the person building your system knows what to build and build it right then you will have a system that will last for years. get someone who thinks they can build you a system then its going to cost you AND COST YOU TIME AND TIME AGAIN. I dont build i use sa and eb avermedia systems. the nv avermedia is a card build system and built right is a fantastic system. contact guys on here like soundy or trocandio read some of there posts and you will build one right firstime thet seem to know what there are talking about when it comes to building

i have a video client that works with xp i can send you the file.
