I buy alot of 1000' spools of RG59 Siamese Cable. The cheapest place I could find it is an Ebay seller who sells it for $125 shipped and its good quality cable too, shipped in a spool box which is a plus too. Does anyone know of a place that is less expensive.

Has anyone used these cameras before?

I am trying to flash an IP camera that I bricked (by upgrading the wrong method) with new firmware. To make a long story short, The IP camera uses the same upgrade method as these DVR's that we use. So to test out first, I was going to try to upgrade a DVR that has a built in RS-232 port with the USB to RS-232 adapter and then move on to the IP camera once I get the method correct. Here is the problem I am facing. It appears that the DVR is receiving the transmission from the computer to the DVR, but the readout that I get back from the DVR to the computer just says "RXERR" For example, anytime I hit the enter button, I get an RXERR. And whenever I boot up the DVR, I get a bunch of RXERR. I assume this stands for "receiving error" So basically, the DVR is sending transmissions back to the DVR, but the program I am using is not displaying the readout. I am 100% confident that I am hooking everything up correctly and what not (Baud Rate, Correct Cables are crossed, Etc) and the manufacturer has claimed that it has worked for him and a few other customers. The only thing I can think of is the USB to RS-232 adapter I am using. I bought a couple, but they both seem to be using the Prolific PL-2303 chipset. I think this may be the problem. Does anyone have any indepth experience in these adapters. I have done a little research (and learned more then I care to know about RS-232) and it appears that some of these adapters have given problems for other people when using different applications.

I have bit my tongue about this long enough. But Larry, since you so ignorantly made this a public affair, being that you are the owner of the site, I will have my two cents in at as well. I dont know what your prejudice is about my site Larry. I can understand the comments of a few select people saying stuff like this because of the jealousy of our success, but coming from you, I just dont get it. I have paid you thousands of dollars in advertising but anytime anyone says something about my site, whether they are a re-seller or just a previous customer, you throw a fit about it. The fact is, I have alot of customers on here. Reason being is because I have paid alot of money with banner ads for months. Therefore, there is going to be alot of people on here talking about my products, well because they seen the ad, and purchased the product. If they are satisfied with their purchase, then they will come on here and talk about their purchase. You have deleted a few of my customers comments about the good experience they have had with us which I have bit my tongue about, the customers did not bite their tongue and they let you know how stupid it was of you to totally delete their posts. You know which ones I am talking about. If you have other dealers on here crying about our business getting mentioned so much to you, then I suggest that they do what I did, pony up and spend some money on advertising and quit crying about it. If you have sponsers on here wondering why our business gets talked about so much and they dont get talked about at all, Well its because I ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN THE FORUM. If they want to be talked about more, then perhaps they need to go further then just posting a small link to the left of the page. No problem I understand that, But you better be completely fair about this. You cant just target one business like you are doing mine. I can give you several examples of how this policy was not implemented on several other threads. I can also give you TONS OF EXAMPLES of certain individuals blatently recommending their products and basically saying all other products are inferior, and making you feel stupid if you didnt buy their products. Yet you dont say ANYTHING AT ALL to these people. Everyone knows who I am talking about too. Being the owner of this discussion board and publically talking about and defaming the name of another business is not a good idea. I have PM'ed you more about this in private, probably something you have should done in the first place. Get a clue dude! The reason why people refer us so much is we sell good products and stand behind them and support them. Why buy from a place if you have a problem with it and you dont know who to call to support it. Heck even you called me the other day asking for tech support on trying to get your bullet camera to work with Aver. The funny thing is, you didnt even buy the bullet camera from us, ! Well you got your work cut out for you. My guess is that you will butcher tons of threads like you have in the past. This will be the last post I will have on this forum since the owner has made our company a blasphemous word. I have made alot of friends, customers, and business colleagues on this site. Thanks for everything. Feel free to email me or call me if you need to reach us for sales or tech support. Not sure how long this thread is going to be up and I am sure many other stupid things are going to be said about us. Unfortunately you wont get to see all of the many other good things that have been said about us a well because the butcher cometh to butcher the threads.

This is a Uverse router which throws everyone off. I have one here at my house. Here is what you need to do: It looks like you already made a user defined application judging by your screenshot. That part is correct, next you need to go back to the Firewall>Applications, Pinholes, and DMZ page Here you will see the part that says "Select a computer". Be sure to select your DVR from the list (SEE FIRST PIC) Then you will add your user defined application from the application list (SEE SECOND PIC) Also, if you are not sure which is your DVR from the select a computer list. You can go to the routers home page and it will show all of your attached devices and you can click on the Device Details to see the IP of each device. (SEE THIRD PIC)

Good picture, but Still looks like no IR. Go out and see if you can see a red glow coming from the LED's. It has to be pretty dark before you can see them. I imagine the noise would clear up once the IR comes on.

Hi Liquid, I got your email and replied. Thanks!

Hi, If you can PM me or email me your order info, I will show you how to do that.

Its kind of confusing because its not ip cameras.

Probably better to contact him through his website. Havent seen him on here in a while but have email conversations with him from time to time. All his downloads can be found at;

Good to know. I will keep an eye on the market for these and the prices. I always liked the idea, I was just never sure if it was going to catch on. Judging by ISC west though, it seems every company had an SDI line.

How do you like them? I still cant get too excited about it until the price gets below IP. Seems like you can make a 4 channel IP system for cheaper than you can a 4 channel SDI system, even using Avigilon software. I do like the plug and play concept though that you are talking about for customers who are not real tech friendly. I do see the prices dropping every month though. If it continues to drop, I think it may have a go in the market. But then again, IP systems are dropping too.

Your previous pictures looked better when you had IR reflection. Now it appears you have adjusted some type of video setting.

you can check with dahomes555, his USA based company offers a monthly dvr monitoring service for certain brand DVR's

looks like a bad case of IR reflection. Make sure the gasket IR seperator is pushed up against the glass. Also, it just looks like it needs a good re-focusing. The top part of your picture is out of focus while the bottom part is not. Bring your laptop out with you to focus it in the evening when the sun is low and not glaring off your laptop.

3 Big Differences: #1) Not Vari-Focal #2) Not ICR - wont have the night time performance that VCM-24VF has. And wont see IR light. #3) Not Dual Voltage

Yeah we have had a heat wave recently too. Worst time of the year in my opinion

It does not have a thumbnail search, but as far as a day and hour timeline, it does have that. It has it both at the console as well as the PSS remote viewing software. If searching with PSS, be sure to search by time as opposed to search by file. Specify an entire 24 hour period. You will then be shown all of the recording events for that day. You will have the 24 hour timeline at the bottom and a more precise hour timeline at the top:

so hows the weather like?

Please email me a screenshot of your pss add a device screen. It may be something little. Or better yet email me or pm me a temp login

Yeah......no. I doubt any device would work if upgraded with the wrong firnware, especially if the device "takes" it as u say. I think u meant to say a device should not take a wrong firmware which is how these should work too, but there is no unnecessary reason to put that to the test.

As tom said, you could risk bricking the unit and voiding the warranty by upgrading an unauthorized firmware. If you purchased the DVR from us, we will send out an email or post the correct firmware versions on our site if there is a firmware upgrade. If you purchased the DVR from us within the last few months, you should have the most upgraded firmware. And normally our distributors and/or installers will pass on the firmware to you if you purchased it from a dealer. Feel free to shoot me a PM, email, or phone call directly with any other tech support questions and I'll be happy to help.

In your first picture the box is labeled server management with a user name and password. Do you just leave that blank?

Maybe look at the free version of Milestone or a similar software.

I didnt read through it thoroughly but your right I didnt see any username and password info either. I havent really played much with CNB's software either, perhaps I dont have a good understanding of it but from what I see is the CMS software is the client software that connects to the NVR? If that is correct, then just like you said anyone can get the free CMS software and connect to your NVR if they had your IP address. If thats the case, thats outrageous.
