OH, because your first post was that you were looking for a free ddns service, which nvrdns.com is free. So, your windows did not give you that error mssg with no-ip?

NO, not me

If your customer needs 16 1080P cameras, I hope your charging a ton of money for it. And keep in mind, even if he/she shops around, any other companies price will be high as well so do not worry about letting them know that each NVR will be big money. I would say 3k for a 16 channel 108p at 25fps is very reasonable. But who knows, someone here might know of one for far less?

What do you mean WTF? Leave a penny on your windowsill outside and tell us what it looks like in a month.

If I recall, the value kit came with an IP DA NVR 3204. I like having a seperate POE rather than having it built into the NVR though.

I buy from a local wholesale distributor. His prices are slightly lower than empire. And I got the four bullets and an NVR on a monthly special kit they were selling. It was a amazing deal so I bought the kit and sold the job like a month later. All I had to buy was a POE and a harddrive additionally.

What are you trying to install that is not working? All you have to do is register at nvrdns.com and enter a domain name and than enter that info in your DVR.

nvrdns.com

If you want to find out no-ip's server IP, you can go into command menu and ping no-ip.com. You can also update the IP yourself by deleting the domain name and than recreating it when your on the same network as the DVR. The new domain will pick up the new IP. Sometimes when you enter it in the DVR, it doesn't not update right away. You also need to make sure you checked enable in the ddns menu in the dvr as well. Personally, I use nvrdns.com or nvrdydns.com. They are free and easy to setup.

Too bad thats an Italian flag though, LOL

Does anyone have a sample site I can log into? I'd love to compare these to the Dahua's. As far as price, its not that much different than 4 bullet Dahua's 720ps and a 4 channel Dahua NVR though.

Sarcastic??? Me???

Do you know what a hammer drill is?

DHCP

I would think if the IT guys are taking over, they would ''prefer' and IP camera!

Just one thing to keep note of. You cannot use the generated password when logged in through a PC even on the same network. You MUST log in directly into the DVR by using a monitor and a mouse connected directly to the DVR.

It doesn't look like much, but try moving the camera off of the house. I doubt it, but you never know. It looks like a decent camera with it's specs, and certainly not cheap for an analog, but it does not look like a ton of IR's on it. I can't see how they claim 98ft, even though they actually claim (up to) 98ft.

because it has analog specs, it just transmits its video signal through a network rather than a coax cable

Doesn't your NVR have a spot out for a monitor?

It is possible that the camera is not compatible with the DVR. You need to know what model DVR you have and research that. Not all IP cameras are compatible with all Hybrid DVR's. Also, that is an IP camera but it is not a megapixel or HD camera. It only has 520 tvl's. For some reason that camera is expensive, I don't know why though? You might be better off finding out which IP megapixel camera is compatible with your dvr and purchase one if your looking for a great quality picture.

I do not see a coax plugged into that camera in your photo album. Did you unplug it? As the others have said, invest in a multimeter and make sure your camera is getting power. I appreciate DIY'rs, but if you have wires all over your house and your unable to figure out what is what, it might be a good investment to have a all around low voltage guy come in as a free estimate and give you an estimate to get things up and running, but while he gives you the estimate, have him tell you what is what in your new home?

Depends on the model you purchase. I recently purchased a 960H hybrid NVR/DVR. The specs say it can record 4 1080 camera, 8 720 camera, 16 D1 IP cameras. That does not mean you can view 6 1080 camera and record only 4. That mean you can only install 4 1080 camera whether your viewing them, recording them, streaming them, or anything you want to call it. So, like I said, look at the specs on the model your looking for. Some 16 channel nvrs can actually view/record 16 1080 cameras, but you pay extra for it and you should install a few hard drives for alot of storage if you going to actually record 16 1080 cameras even in motion detect.

Ah

Why not get the IPC-HFW3200S?
