Hi. Can I ask some personal details first ? your email … your bank details …. Type of mobile device and its serial number and your full name and address I would also like to track your mobile phone ………. I can guarantee your answer is 100% no so why would you give that to a China server….remember you have no legal action in China to protect yourself yes putting a few cables in takes a few hours but you end up with a real cctv system and not one controlled via a 3rd party and you own it at the moment your just looking for a camera …. No security issues as of yet ….. but your first action is to give so much of your personal data away which straight away you have a security problem read this first then deside which is best https://m.reolink.com/privacy-policy/ also google who owns reolink and also reolink using my data

Hi AVI is used widely still in the industry and both speci and Samsung still use it in both its still standard when backing up files MAS far as going open source software then footage in courts can’t be used … police also won’t load footage on the computer networks by using a open source

Sorry none of your pictures are compliant yes that cheap multi core cable has coax BUT not 75ohm ……. Then you use made up bnc cables that does not have coax it’s just 0.75 wire so your defeating the object using cat5 with baluns is better and cheaper you are just putting lipstick on a pig

So no coax insight ?? Twist any cable together 75ohm cable is needed which is standard for cctv done in coax standard cable 100 ohm which you have used is not good for quality

Hi 5mp analog will not work on ground loop isolation 5mp cameras will be HD analog ……. How are your cameras wired up can you post a picture of bnc and also the power supply

Hi. Are you using all 16 channels on dvr ? and what is your budget

Hi. I would give hikvision a big miss it’s junk you can get a lot better where are you located

Hi being on coax already then yes just replace dvr as there is no difference between a IP system and HD analog but what I would say is don’t buy a hik or a poc system use a standard hd dvr it gives you much better options on camera types plus you can still use your existing cameras as well what part of the world are you in

these apps will work with your dvr apple and android links https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/xmeye/id884006786 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobile.myeye

Wow is a few words a lecture that card uses xmeye software so as not to become another lecture I will have leave out the software page link

Is it not much easier to set home as preset 1 and give delay time of 15 minutes

What part of the uk ? if your with BT give them a call and ask them to change your iP address …. They usually do it in a hour or so …. You won’t even see a break in your internet go to what’s myIp and write down your current iP address which will show on your screen …. And then check it after you have talked with BT as far as cctv cost it is not expensive just start with two cameras ….. are you a house of flats? And what is your budget

Hi what part of the world are you in as countries has different rights if your ring goes off line when he is about then you need to check if he is not on your Wi-Fi (access to your router) Use an app something like…. net analyzer this will tell you who is on your network it also helps police as you will have a record of his IP address hiding cameras behind windows can give you problems in both camera image quality and secret recording of others ring doorbell is just a doorbell not a cctv system a real cctv is not expensive and is your best option

Can you post a picture of the main menu

Can you post a pic of wires in balun at dvr end and also picture of power going into cat5

2013 unit ….. why do people think that can turn old into new just with firmware 2013 unit ….. 10 years old 2016 end of support ……. 7 years ago D1/cif recording waste of time with modern cameras

Hi. What type of cable is going to your camera is it coax with power or cat5 with baluns ? in your picture you have 5 wires twist the two reds together twist the two blacks together the two reds are + power the two blacks are - power the yellow is video

Hi. IP systems and HD analog are now both on the same level performance infact HD analog is now getting better than IP yes you can update but you will need to swap out the dvr to something like a 5 in 1 hybrid dvr 5mp and you only need to change the cameras you need to upgrade and change over time as a new dvr will except old and new cameras you will also have a better system than samsung

Hi …. Yes you should do BUT if you’re talking about a cheap smart camera then it will cost you a fortune…… 4g cameras are a data eater and will cost

Hi how are you splitting the hdmi onto two tvs

Hi. It depends on the camera your using to use ir with a camera it needs to be day night …. IR only works when your camer switches to black/white a filter either needs to be operated electronically or buy a fixed coated lens

Hi the problem with that dvr is it’s very limited ….. and also a short life span with what may happen with hikvision when reading specs on hik always look at limitation specs ….. the one you have listed has a list of functions but it warns you can only use one at a time …. So if you use motion detection (which is a standard setting to use) means you can’t use any other feature I would look at a TVT dvr hybrid much better machine and has one of the best viewing apps made that gives you full control over your system most other apps can’t do that also TVT is fully compliant with NDAA and GDPR ….. hikvision is not compliant with either

Hi I know the cameras very well two lens …. One colour one black/white if your seeing the IR light while in colour then your not in true night mode …. It has to be black/white or IR will not work it does not work in colour Not sure why this is important but no, we are not using the cloud but we are using an SD card. it can make a big difference….. size of sd card also speed of sd card so what type of card are you using if you used the qr code to setup then yes your using the cloud

Hi …… this could be a few things as it looks like a setup problem or faulty camera colour night you should see a white light from the camera …. Your last night image does not show this ….. so might have a faulty light …. What are your night images like with IR on ( should go black/white) also are you using SD card or cloud storage but I will say these ezviz cameras are a waste of time and waste of money …. After your 30 days then monthly costs start to take effect…. With cctv cameras you don’t have monthly costs or have a 3rd party over something you own which country are you in ?

Hi is this DS2 the dedicated micro dvr ???? we’re are you located
