Your DVR would be the client as opposed to your router. Your best bet is to have a router and have it configured for DynDns because you will need to configure port forwarding and you will need an onsite computer to verify that you have the DVR is networked properly.

You can configure your DVR straight to DynDns if you wish. Its alot easier if you just have a router though because its a heck of a lot easier if you have a computer in the same network to setup remote viewing..

Your Right, I need to listen. I sent you a PM

Well, ran malware bytes and no malware detected. Still not working. I have confirmed its working on another computer in the same network. Any idears on what my next move could be.

yeah that worked. Well, guess its time to run Malwarebytes. Thanks for the trick. I was wondering why I havent heard anyone else talk about why the biggest website in the world was down

I dont know why. But I cant get it to work on any browser.

Thats a pretty long ways for 12V DC and to use Cat5 doesnt help with the issue. If you can, shorten the power run with a closer power source.

I dont think you will go wrong with carrying big brands such as CNB, Samsung, Pelco, and other well known brand names. They have been around for a while and got a good reputation and stand behind their products.

Just look at the warranty each brand offers and that should give you a fair indication of whether its a good brand to carry or not.

Rory is correct. There is no grid view on the spot out. The only grid views you will get are from the 3 main outs. The apot can only be used as a sequential switcher or you can choose to just have one camera show up. But if you are going to use the spot out, it really makes sense to use the sequential switcher as each channel on the Pro and Pro-Lite has a loopout that you can send to a dedicated monitor if you wish. Please note that their is no spot out on the regular Apollo HD's.

No it cannot. The BNC Spot Out can just be a full screen switcher view. You can of course use one of the 3 main connections as a spot to show multi-grid views, but just note that that is a main connection so any activity that you do on your DVR will also be shown on those so called "spots" as well. I.E. you could use the HDMI for one monitor and the VGA as another monitor and the BNC as another monitor, but on all 3 of those monitors they will have the same display.

Just from my half hearted google search, I am having a hard time finding a Hybrid that records more than 1080p recording resolution. If I want to record a 5MP camera, this will obviously not work right? If there are any other Hybrids that that can record the big time MP cameras, please let me know. Or if its better to just go the software route, I can do that. I just need something I can play around with for now. And forgive my newbness as I enter into the world of IP

Yeah. There are actually 4 outputs (3 main and 1 Spot) The 3 main are: HDMI Out VGA Out BNC Out HDMI and VGA give the best quality. Only use BNC if you have no other options. The spot is a BNC Output. The spot output is basically just a "switcher view" and can be sent to a public view monitor if you wish.

Oh yeah! I am sure McDonalds has my picture posted in every store because I always look at their CNB cameras at all their locations.

The cable made by Q-see is about only good for 60' or less. If you are going 100-120', use some Siamese cable with solid copper center conductor and 95% Copper braided sheilding. Or use solid copper Cat5. You should not have any problems at all at 120' using 12V.

Fasttrax 3 PTZ. I have thought of many different creative scenarios on what I will do. For now, I want to think he got away with it and see what the cops can do with the info they got. If I dont hear anything for a while, I'll start getting creative. That actually not my dog. Our little poodle is in heat so we have every male dog in our neighborhood at my house now. In a matter of fact, there was a nice brutal dog fight right when she showed up at our house. Yeah thats what sux. I went in to go look at my camera right when he got in the truck. I actually didnt see him do it at the time that you see me move the camera, I walked in my room right after he did it. I wish I would have seen him, because you would have seen me do a form tackle on him in the video shortly thereafter. He weighs about 3 times as much as me but I gotta alot of heart. Thats a big patch of grass that I didnt blow off from mowing a few days before.

Same frame rates on all prolites. They do make 8 and 4 ch versions of pro and prolites.

All of the Qvis Apollo DVR's use the same GUI and remote viewing software. The difference can either be found by hardware changes on the machine or differences in FPS. The Apollo HD is the consumer grade version. It holds one HDD. Does max 7FPS at D1 resolution on each channel and/or 30 FPS CIF on each channel. The Pro-Lite is one step up from the the Apollo HD and one step down from the Apollo HD Pro. The Pro-Lite is similar to the Apollo HD in operation except has a more robust hardware designs as follows: Upgradeable Hard Drive Space Options. 2 TB comes as standard. Optional upgrades to 4TB, 6TB, and 8TB CD/DVD Burner Individual Loop Outs for each channel in case you need to dedicate a camera to its own monitor. Esata Connection allows you to back up large amounts of video to a full size external hard-drive device. The HD Pro is exactly like the HD Pro-Lite except the HD Pro Can do full 30 FPS D1 recording on every single channel. Correct. Its nice to have but not vital. The only time it becomes vital is if you are recording fast moving objects or if you are required by law to have it. For example, some Casino's must record in 30 FPS D1 on every channel. Is it better than 7FPS? Yes of course it is. Is having 7 FPS inadequate for all scenario's? Absolutely not, most scenario's will be just fine with it. It just all depends on your budget, needs, and scenario's. Regarding each channel: 1-7 FPS D1 and/or 1-30 FPS CIF Kind of like Rory said, all you need is IE8 (internet explorer 8 ) to login remotely. You can also use the free PSS software. Without going into great detail, all you do is type in your WAN IP (Wide Area Network IP) into the browser bar in IE8 from a remote location and it pulls up your cameras and has all of your DVR controls. Another way is to go to a PC that has PSS installed on it and do the same thing. PSS is just a more customized and robust way to view remotely as compared to the Internet Explorer method. The only thing that is annoying is whenever you play back several channels simultaneously, you cant FF each channel simultaneously. So what you have to do is select each channel by highlighting each channels box and then selecting FF. Its pretty minor and not a real big deal but thats about the only thing that I can think of that is somewhat annoying. Most folks dont even think anything about it. I have worked with other good DVR's in the past that usually have 5 or 6 more major things that I think is annoying so for this DVR to only have one minor thing such as this is pretty nice.

Dahua can do 2 way audio. But even if you went and bought a piece of junk 10 camera system at Costco, you arent looking at very much for profit if the budget is $1700.

Thats actually a pretty decent video.

Well Samsung is not necessarily a manufacturer. They have companies manufacturer for them. CNB is a manufacturer. I assume you are just looking for some good Brands to re-sell. Samsung products are good but CNB has better prices. You will not be able to buy direct from either company unless you think you can buy a ton products at one time. Its best to contact Samsung or CNB and they will put you in contact with a distributor from who you can buy from. Shoot them an email or give them a call.

IPO's are usually good news for growing businesses such as Avigilon. As long as they keep their current execs in place, I imagine the business will continue to soar.

There are several people on here have used either a Qvis or a Dahua DVR which are basically the same thing. Not sure if anyone has used the HD Pro-Lite but its basically the same DVR as the regular Apollo HD but with added Hardware features. I do know some folks on here have used the HD Pro.
