Hi it can be just sat on the ground but it only takes two screws to secure to a wall just to stop it being moved … your existing power supply (12v 10amp) with splitter would be running hot the one I listed won’t

Hi. This is the wrong way to power cctv cameras ….. infact one faulty camera can damage all the rest first thing to do is install a suitable power supply the type that protects each camera with its own fuse or electronic cutout something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/HAILI-Output-Supply-Switch-Distribution/dp/B07SV1W15G/ref=asc_df_B07SV1W15G?mcid=ea352f6f096735d1909f4ed7427c5755&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=696451130813&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15917231825901991530&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046494&hvtargid=pla-826178894569&psc=1&gad_source=1#immersive-view_1735407912808

Hi. Then this is the right time to wire your house for cameras … just use cat5 wireless cameras with dvr have never been reliable. Analog wireless are proprietary so don’t last once cameras start to fail

Hi if your camera is working fine I recommend you don’t do a firmware update as you can’t go back if fails last update was 08/2023 https://www.hikvision.com/en/products/IP-Products/Network-Cameras/Pro-Series-EasyIP-/DS-2CD2385G1-I/?subName=DS-2CD2385G1-I

Hi. If your using your Powerline adapters straight from out of the box they still work however if using more than 1 set then it is best to give each pair its own local iP address this is easy done by looking at the login iP of your adapters (192.168.x.x) which you will find on it ….. first pair give them a new iP something like 192.168.1.70 on both and on the other set 192.168.1.71 on both and this will stop the conflict you are getting as both are using the out of box iP (both sets are the same)

Hi. Your problem is … it’s a lorex (dahua) not very good software for on screen or remote viewing mate you using the fusion software ??? are you on iP cameras or analog and were are you based

Hi. There is none for a unit of that age also most of there apps have been removed because of malware

Hi that’s a 10 year old dvr and looks like you have tried to update with firmware that’s not supported also your best option is get another dvr … your like many others is full of spyware which is fully documented and you can’t fix …. Anything from Xiongmaitech is a bad unit also under the name xmeye

Do you have any power at were you want the cameras but by using smart cameras (which are not cctv) I know tapo cameras you can’t as you need there server for them to work

Hi. You will need to give details of your ptz BUT being Wi-Fi only im guessing it’s a smart camera ….. cctv and smart cameras are too different things and should not get mixed up with each other usually app controlled cameras are proprietary and intrusive I would recommend no one uses them

Hi are you using a APP ?

Don’t need to go DDNS on local … it was only a test to see if you could connect

Ok. Delete the xmeye app then install it again THEN first go bottom left of the app and click on the screen icon. And enter details don’t use serial number instead use your local iP address 192.168.1.230. Then see if it connects problem with using serial number is it’s already been used by the last owner with all there sign in credentials

Hi. On the xmeye app did you sign up for the cloud service and did you use a qr code

Hi. you might be lucky with one of the xmeye apps which mobile platform are you using apple or android also if you have a pc on the same network can you try entering this into your browser http:// 192.168.1.230 and see if you get access to your system

Hi that is expensive your into viper Ai units for that price 4K vipers are enough for most people and will last for years that company is only 10 mile from me his site says 8 channel 4K 1tb hard drive £433 plus posting

Hi any power supply that states 12v 3amp will run your camera …. If you let me know your location I’ll post a Amazon link but you might find it better if you buy a 4way Poe switch (you don’t need to run power cable to camera then) and there just a little more for a Poe switch

Hi. That looks like the old Yale Wi-Fi camera system (not a nvr) it is a wireless dvr Yale smart wireless cctv … it’s old and your other problem is going to be with it being secondhand it will already be registered so you will need the original login settings for the app server. can you post a screen shot of two screens …. Menu screen and the network screen

Hi. I would go with the 8 channel 5mp dvr with hard drive that’s £248 tvt in uk is called the viper dvr … but be careful some people are selling the lite version which is just a basic system are you John ward the spark ?

Hi …. Motorised Len ….. yes they will work using ptz control on dvr or via app HD analog come in 4 formats cvi-tvi-ahd-cbs dahua being cvi So not a problem

Hi which part of the world are you in ???

Hi. Zoom lens ??? Do you control the zoom via recorder. Can you post a link to your cameras

Hi good budget. I would look at the TVT system. I have been installing them for 8 years now with no problems at all It does have the best app on the market that gives you full control of the system. No other dose that …. App is called SuperLive plus. But your looking at £238 for recorder but it also has the advantage of the cameras are cheaper than iP but with the same image quality example 4mp full colour at night and audio is around £32

Hi. Your analog will be HD analog cameras which is a good thing as HD analog are just as good as iP and half the price. i would look at a 5mp system …. You can go 8 mp but there is no point unless you have 8mp cameras (4K) depending on your budget anything is better than the dahua recorder is this for home / work or farm location ? I also have foxes at back of my house … been coming here for two years now and 3 months ago the fox has been bringing her two cubs

Hi what type of cameras do you have … analog or iP (coax or cat5)
