I have a 16 ch full d1 30fps every channel Dahua that i am not going to use. It is brand new and has a 1tb hard drive in it. I'm looking to get 600.00 shipped for it. Email me if interested.

If you use the alarm output of the dvr, you can ask you neighbor to walk past the camera and your garage door will close. Done. LOL.

Great videos and great reviews of that little beast. How is that camera at night time? Can you take either a video or a screen shot? And in the web interface, it looks like you need to download active x, lol.

Yes and Yes

Tom, I just realized that. Thanks. That's not a problem. I'm guessing this person will be fine with 8 720p cameras, or 1 1080p and 3 or 4 720p's. We will be able to have 8 700tvl cameras recording at 960H even if we want. It's not a big house so that should be suffecient amount of video security. All he wants right now is to upgrade his existing 4 crappy cameras and his crappy dvr that he is even unable to view from his smart phone right now. I know this guy, I'm pretty sure he would even be happy with the 8 additional 720p's.

What do you guys think of this DVR? Any negatives about it to change my mind? My friend has 4 existing cameras with siamese wires already run. We plan on upgrading those to effio 700tvl's and than running cat5 to about 4 more 1080P cameras for now and more IP's later on. > 16 channel IP and 4/8/16 channel Effio 960H 2U Hybrid DVR > Dual-core CPU presents the powerful preview, recording, playback and network performance > Up to 20/24/32 channel with1080P realtime live view > H.264/MPEG-4 decoding & H.264 dual-stream encoding > IP: 16 channel @D1, 8 channel @720P, 4 channel @1080P realtime recording > Analog: 4/8/16 channel @960H(960*576/960*480) realtime recording > HDMI / VGA / TV/Spot(BNC) synchronous video output > All channel simultaneous realtime playback, GRID interface & smart search > Support Multi-brand network cameras such as: Dahua, Arecont Vision, AXIS, Canon, Dynacolor, Panasonic, SAMSUNG, SANYO, SONY and ONVIF > IP Search feature to auto discover network cameras > Smart video detection: MD, camera blank, video loss > Easy backup: USB/eSATA devices, CD/DVD-RW & network download > Alarm triggering screen tips, buzzer, PTZ, e-mail & FTP upload > Support 8 SATA HDDs up to 24TB, 1 eSATA up to 12TB, 4 USB2.0 > Built-in web server, CMS(DSS/PSS) & DMSS

Thats still too much even for a 16channel with 8 of those cameras. You and I know that. And I did not pull a sales pitch as that other member quoted me. Do you even know what a sales pitch means???

That whole sales pitch would steer me away from buying that setup! First of all, the title says super high resolution cameras hdmi. These are not hdmi cameras and DO NOT have hdmi resolution! The dvr has an hdmi output, thats about all. Than, they are selling you 700tvl cameras, but a D1 dvr cannot even process all of those tvl's so your not even getting 700tvl's anyway. And I love the way they mention EXTREME over and over. C'mon, give me a break! [mod: edited extra sales stuff out]

They have them on eBay right now

Model DH-IPC-HFW2100N manufactuered by Dahua

I do believe they have different fps ratios per camera, no?

You had it plugged into the 2nd hard drive slot?

I tried your IP address and I got your router. You need to assign your DVR an http port within the DVR and than you need to forward that port in your router to the IP of 192.168.254.11. So, when you open explorer and enter your 120.28.88.65 and your http port that you programmed, you will be forwarded to your DVR.

This is a 1.3m IP camera during the night. I'll try to post one during the day tomorrow. Right now, it's just for viewing until we set up a PC for remote recording. In full screen especially during the day, the colors and clarity are amazing. At night time, there is no noise and plenty of detail. I've put the 1.3mp picture side by side with a dvr using D1 and in small screen there is not much difference. But in full screen and zooming, the 1.3mp camera is astonishing. If you have the budget for it, definitely get megapixel cameras!

Sorry guys. The model is DH-DVR1604HF-A and I can take 50 bucks off without the hard drive.

huh?

Why not go with HD-sdi hybrid dvr so you can use your analog cameras and than just upgrade your one camera with an HD-sdi so you can get your hd over coax?

A friend of mine wants to upgrade his existing 10 year old system installed by someone else. There are siamese coax run to each camera and replacing the coax with cat5 is not an option as they were run while the walls were open. Anyway, we want to upgrade to megapixel cameras with HD-sdi cameras and an hd-sdi dvr. Does everyone agree this is our best option. I know they also have IP baluns that convert IP cameras to work through coax, but they are around 80.00 a pair and we are upgrading 8 cameras. So, does anyone have experience with hd-sdi cameras, and if so, which ones do you recommend for outdoor low light use? Also, besides dahua, are there any other reasonable hd-sdi dvr's that work with PSS? Thanks in advance.

Most of the new ones are just 2 wires from the door box to the base unit and than the base gets plugged into an outlet. Do you have the make and model? It should have come with a schematic for wiring?

I'm just asking cause a lot of people make a mistake of installing dc cameras and than connecting the wire in reverse if the wire is not red/black and than they end up blowing the camera.

I have seen cameras in my distributor that actually light up with LEDS when there is motion. It helps the picture at night and acts as a motion light for deterrence. They actually only think it's a motion light rather than a cctv camera. It's practical in certain situations, not all of them though. I'll search around and see if I can find one that does that. http://www.cctv-information.co.uk/i/Why_LED_lighting_is_the_best_technology_to_use_with_CCTV

I always hammer in D-rings the path I'm going to take and than just lay the wire in them as I run it. Two rows of rings for video and power are a bit anal, but to each their own. If you can do it, why the heck not? But if your doing POE IP cameras or video baluns, all your gonna need is one row anyway.

It doesn't matter what the wire was meant for as long as it's 18 gauge give or take 1 or 2 gauges depending on the length of the run. Are they DC or AC cameras your installing?
