Hi All, On my latest box camera there are 4 switches on the back; one of them makes a big difference but what do the abbreviations mean ? It says EE or AL and works best on EE. cheers Chris.

Hi All, On my domestic setup i have used audio cables with RCA plugs for all the runs from cams to DVR. The distances vary from 2 Metres to 5 Metres and are all indoor under the carpets. Assuming im using medium resolution domestic cameras 480 lines and mostly small board type lenses (CS on one cam) ... is it going to improve quality much by switching to BNC plugs and proper co-ax cables ? cheers Chris.

Hi Dave, I was looking at one this morning for use in night clubs on the RF Concepts site. cheers chris

Hi All, I have one camera which switches to IR and one which doesnt ; so apart from testing them how do you know which type you have when you are buying a board camera ? Does the term HAD have anything to do with it ? cheers Chris.

Thanks again to all for the replies; The PIR solution seems good if i really must have motion sensing,but in the meantime im going to do continuous recording to reduce my anxiety ; at least i know for sure the footage will be there. cheers Chris.

I am setting up my new Maplin DVD in my bedsit and i have the problem that when i switch the light off to go to bed the DVR records and records ; this also happens when i put a cover over a camera. in normal light the motion sensed recording is fine. This problem doesnt occur if i use one of the 2 cameras supplied but only when i use my own hires hidden cams without ir. any ideas ? Sentient 250GB H.264 Network DVR

Thanks to all for the advice ; i thought it might be a noise issue,but it shows how rubbish the motion sensing software is. Ive decided to just record continuously cos i cant trust the motion sensing. cheers Chris.

Im new to the board and to using boards, so if i dont respond or reply it may be cos i dont know how. Im the technical type but patchy on CCTV ; i am putting a 4-ch DVR in my bedsit in Derby England.
