Hello, Thanks again, all this info is great, although you lost me at sip servers, lol. I'm getting idea that the CCTV biz is a very unstable industry in business terms and there are lots of companies coming and going. So I should use resources that would not require me to relie on someone or something because it may not be there after a while, although there are some names that seem to pop up again and again (mobotix). So if I got a dvr that allowed remote access, how could I get one way audio to the remote location, if required? I am not too bothered about receiving audio but would be nice. Another question to throw in, how could I cheaply receive an alert ( in the form on an email or text ) when there is motion detected in the cameras and I don't mind using other available technologies ? Sorry to be a pain. Can I say how great this forum is and how much I have picked up from the posts is fantastic ( about the CCTV industry ) thanks again, look forward to your replies. Regards Moody

Hello, hope you are all well, Thank you everybody. The digiguard dvr cost around £750 for a 8ch but this changes as and when my supplier feels like it. So what ways could I get my audio to another site, which would be the cheapest and most effective way. Thank you again. Regards Moody

Thanks for the reply, I would like it, so when I speak down a mic, it transmits the message to the location via the dvr and the dvr possibly has an audio output, which I could connect speakers to, so it is out put into the yard or shop.... Unless there is an other way of doing this??? Sorry to sound silly, I hope you understand what I have explained. Thanks again regards Moody

Hello, Hope you are well, I install CCTV and provide a remote access service to people who get a system installed from me. I have been using avtech DVRs (digiguard, in particular) as they are cheap and effective for what i need them for. I know i can remotely access the dvrs but if i wanted to send a message remotely, how could i do this? are there dvrs set up to do this? what would i need to have set up on the other end? can i do this at a budget? My supplier is getting expensive by the minute, where can i get some cheap dvrs with Voip features and i do not mind buying bulk. Also cameras, if anybody has any ideas? sorry to be a pain and thanks advance. Regards Moody

Hello, I am using a digiguard, i think it is from avtech?! Works on iphone 3gs but some times it is temperamental and needs resetting. its pretty good. Regards Moody
