maybe if you can post the type number that someone knows how and what. i have no idea now or maybe email samsung to ask the service desk they help allot when i emailed them with a question good luck

Thx, wanted to make a video locally there on the computer but for some reason it doesnt work and the quality is low now i used a screencapture tool and did it remote i also planned to buy a little whiper from a car headlight (mercedes) because the lens for the big ptz is a bit dirty and i noticed some insects going over the lens haha it need some improvements and i need to get the HTTP controls working but thats just buying the httpserver software from profilab. also contacted the coder/designer from webcamxp if it maybe is possible to add RS485 controls in there camera ptz program it only supports now ptz from ip cameras but none like pelco d p samsung etc he would take a look into it otherwise i always have to control the camera like this. in fact wile writing this he is buys on the system Here the movie i made, you can click on the times i added to go to them and don't forget to put it on 720P - fullscreen gives a better image

Thanks for the welcome, its more of a hobby actually and especially viewing on a distance over the internet. we got a house in France and we have setup this last summer 4 camera's there. bought a dvr card for the computer but its not great, it does have a nice option that i can use the 4 cameras with windows XP now that uses less bandwith. but for the camera system here in the netherlands i have a 8 channel dvr card with a techwell chip on it and idvr4000 software. many problems and the CPU shoots up to 60-90% with a few cameras. did a little research on the forum and read about dahue cards that they compress instead of use the CPU anyone have some tips, i also opened a topic about this under residential with more explanation.

Hi all, im Vincent from the netherlands 25y old and interested in electronics camera's radio's computers you name it i like it haha. Came here to ask some ppl that know a thing or two about the DVR / camera systems because i am losing it when i look on the internet how many different sorts there are

Haha, the same here i know exactly what you mean. first time that something happened was with some boys with fireworks dropped some in the mailbox and boom, a little hole in the bottom boy was on camera but because of the lack of light it was barely noticable. My plan was to put up pictures on tree's with the face of the bomber haha upgrade immediatly to some samsung utp 2000 and now its like its day in the night still a hobby but im also pointing a bit more on good images because there are some robbers spotted in my little village lately.

Where to begin, well i started with a cheap DVR stand alone system that i got from a friend with the standard cameras and those were a dissater. also used Cat5 cables but i had a big spindle with 200 meter left ( found out that this was bad quality) Then after the dvr system suddenly stopped i stumbled on ebay on the DVR Cards bought a 4 channel card for the holiday residence in France and a 8 channel for the residence in the netherlands. the 4 chan card has a techwell chip on it TW 6816 if im correct 4CH-D1-Realtime-DVR-Card%2C-Face-%26-Missing-Object-Detect%2C-Windows-Server the software that came with this card is just terrible, does not work user friendly if you ask me. also with the remote viewing, it says upnp ( auto sets everything) i do not read anyhing in the manual about port forwarding or anything else to use it over the internet. the client software is working locally but over the internet , well you guess it, not . one funny thing with this card is that it shows up into windows as a 4 port video in card so i am using this with webcam Xp now in france This allows me to view the camera's much easyer online without running any special software and saves bandwith also changed the connection cables there with Cat 5e FTP cables and the image quality was amazing compared to the unshielded cat5e cable. this system is working pretty good now, except the motion detection part is not really working like i was hoping but well its just for fun that's that. Then the 8 channel card that supposed to support D1 recording comes with software thats also crashing allot and has some errors when you have lots of motion recordings the files are also in a strange format that allmost no player can play like VLC or any other. The card also has a Techwell Chip the TW 6868 this is a screenshot of the software thats given, except of the crash it does sometimes when viewing the records you can configure allot. i have in my system per accident a few NTSC camera's and also PAL and you can set it per channel. The thing that shocked me is that when its recording the CPU load is allmost 100% constant, even the normal load is about 30 - 40 % This was running on: dualcore 3.16 ghz asus pq 5 4gig ram the first card is also getting the cpu to 65 % of load btw. my question is , are there any nice cards with good software and that the card compresses the video file ? i have tried to look on google but most of the cards i have found are so high in price this is not much fun anymore for a hobby. any brands/types/opinions that are affordable or do i have to much demands for to little money ?
