Hi I have brought what id thought was a plug n play system. 8 Channel NVR with ONVIF 4MP cameras, plugged them in and on the monitor no images show but get a message stating ip address and underneath says "The login return time is up". Any idea what this means, there is power to the camera. The ip address shows 10.1.1.29. Does this need to be configured to an internal ip address? Thanks Vic

Using PSS software with a iZeus DVR. Customer has asked me to install audio listening in devices x4. Any recommendations?. Am i right by saying i would need x4 audio in available at the back of the DVR? Thanks Vic

I have been asked to install 3 listening in devices from DVR (1st floor) to another room 130 feet away. Any ideas on how i go about on doing this with good quality equipment, please advise? Regards Vik

Hi, I have router installed in the hallway. I am unable to run a hard cable from the dvr (in loft) to the ground floor (all walls been plastered along with new carpet). The POE adapters work intermittently, any ideas of any other ways to get good connections without intermittent poe issues? Thanks

Hi, A customer of mine has an existing IZeus DVR and wishes to add on a PA (Public Address) System and also a couple of devices that he can listen in at the staff basically which are based on a different floor to where the manager resides. I have fitted many CCTV systems but not been asked for this until now. Any ideas?? Thanks Vik

Cool, will try the coupler as i then want to terminate the cat 5 cable on the DVR end to plug a balun and dc2.2 connector as its a analog DVR. Many thanks

Hi all, Someone has cut a cat 5 cable which i was going to install a Balun and DC2.2 female connector to it. As cable is too short, whats the best way for me to extend the cat 5e cable which is in the loft? Your valuable advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Vic

There is an existing system which i am going to replace at a mates house. There is a vision module with 2 co ax cables that goes from the back of the dvr to module and another from module to ?? Any ideas what this module does? Thankyou *please note attachment added.

Hi All, Many thanks for your replies. As the previous installer had embedded the cables behind the brick work and cemented it. I ended up loosening that brick and managed to get to the existing cabling to connect to the new camera. It was a mission to do but its done now. Yes Tom, i have seen those Mules and will keep it in mind for future issues like this. Pricey piece of kit when alot of my clients want cheapest jobs but the highest specs...lol Thanks guys Vic

Hi all, I am going to do a upgrade tomorrow and need to know if i can extend the power and video going from one camera to another which will be positioned 4 feet away? as the previos camera is faulty and the video\power cable has been embedded behind the wall and sealed. Do i just use a T piece to share the video? what do i use to extend the power. I cannot put a new cable in as its a new build and they have requested that i cannot make hole to the building and want the cheapest option available to them. I am aware its not the best way to fix this, but what the customer wants. Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Vic

Excellent, will have a read on that 4G router.

Hi all, Any recommend any type or brand of 3G router as i am fitting CCTV into a mini car wash who dont have any phone line or internet connection. Would be happy to hear your advice. Regards Vic

Thanks for your replies all. I informed the customer to get the master bt socket moved so its local to the router. This has now been done and guess what, all works a treat Many Thanks Vik

Hi, The upload speed averages around 1.1kbps which is sufficient. I have gone to canyouseeme.org and the ports are open successfully. Many thanks

I having completed a 8 camera install, everything working well. The problem i am experiencing is that the BT telephone line is approx 30m away from where the router is. They have a good quality cable coming from Main BT line to a secondary line near the router. The CCTV works fine and works from my laptop when i am connected into the network via 192.xxx.x.x Upon entering the static ip address, i get time out error. The ports are open on the router. Do you think this is because of the distance of the BT signal has to travel? Many Thanks
