I am looking for a TVT DVR. I cannot seem to find them anywhere. Any suggestions?

I had to reinstall the software on the dvr. Now I am getting an error with argus v card initialization error. The dvr will not function. What could be the problem?

Hey Tom. I cannot seem to figure out what to download for removal and reinstall. The system is still down.

I tried to press control and L and nothing happens. I did go into the setup and system configuration/device manager. I do not see any exclamation marks in this area. Yes, I put the cd key in and it rebooted but still shows the argus error.

Hey Tom...Everything has been going smoothly with the dvr until yesterday when I received a boot load error. I reinstalled the software from the recovery dvd not the internet. I can get to the dvr setup page but the cameras are not showing. When do I need to press control L. It does not seem to do anything during boot or when the dvr is booted up?

Can anyone see what this tag is on this truck? First three characters should be letters, last three will be numbers. Should be 6 characters total on tag(3 letters first then 3 numbers). Broke into 3 houses on my street and cleaned them out. Ford F150 truck: http://s792.beta.photobucket.com/user/alschmid/library/Robbery

Thanks. H is probably right for the first. Last looks like 2 or 7

Aver appears to be moving away from cctv at least from what I can see. I have had really bad luck with their tech support and warranty coverage. They will not even respond to my problems at this point.

Tom, the picture quality is too good for me to part with it. Sorry

Here is a picture from my SCO-2370 at D1 and CNB Mona Lisa VBM at D1. I think your DVR/cable is a big part of your problem.

Night. There is a street light nearby.

That controller is pretty neat. The setup is really simple without it since the a/f lens does all the work.

There is a focus setting called "one push." In this setting the focus is set once zoomed in and will not adjust in and out at a set focal point. Focus is automatically adjusted once after zoom position is changed. I had the same problem when the focus was set to "auto" but changed it to one push and have not had a problem. The SCO-2080R does not have a/f lens. The SCO-2120R has a/f lens and 12x zoom plus IR. The SCO-2370 does not have IR but it does have the 37x zoom which is hard to beat. 12x may work in a majority of the situations as it is around 50mm zoom where 37x is around 140mm.

It does have HLC with selectable levels, low, middle, high and mask tone. I have not tried it since the camera is not pointed directly at headlights or tags. It probably would work pretty good with the zoom and A/F though. It has the option to "smart" zoom into a preset zoom position upon motion. This would be very helpful at a gate or front door when a car pulls up. The zoom would zoom in and get a really nice picture of the tag or face then zoom back out when the motion is gone (dwell time). I did not use this feature, b/c the cars are going by way too fast for any zoom to zoom in. It does zoom rather quickly and focuses just as fast though. The zoom is unreal on this thing.

No. This is an Avermedia SA9000ePro recording at 30fps at D1. Doubt there is much quality issue due to this dvr. Next cameras will probably be Samsung from initial impression.

Night. Can still tell this is a Chevy Pickup truck. There is some noise, but this can be expected when zoomed in and with no IR.

Comparison of Samsung vs. CNB Mona Lisa VBM-24vf. No comparison in clarity and zoom

As promised Rory, here is a pic of the road approx 150 feet from the camera. I love the zoom and the auto focus. This is not zoomed all the way in! I can zoom close enough to read the car tag on that Volvo SUV at 36X!

Here is a teaser. Looks to be very high quality construction. No cheapo here. I will post the pics as soon as I set it up

I have four CNB VBM-24VF cameras. 1 year old and perfect working order. 510 shipped for all 4. or 130 shipped each. PM for payment options or any questions.

I just ordered a SCO-2370. 37x optical zoom/auto focus with setup over coax. IP68 rating. I will post pics when it arrives.

Cameras are still for sale. 130 shipped per camera.

I ordered the Samsung SCO-2370. I liked the auto focus zoom feature of 3.5 ~ 129.5mm. I will let everyone know how it is when it arrives in a week or so (special order from ADI).

I like the zoom range on the bullets. Wonder how the image compares to the domes?
