All channels recording regardless of settings. All channels are set to record motion detection. The system is Dahua 1U DVR . Used to follow the settings but lately it is recording like in Manual recording mode .ie. 24/7 Thanx fo reading.

When trying to log in the DVR on my PSS it says: Cannot find the network host. Few times I managed to get the log in, but soon the connection gets lost and the message. Anything I am doing wrong? Thanx

Thanx for help!

At present I have Dahua 1U DVR with HDMI(1) .. all my cams are Effio 700.... will replacing the present DVR with Effio 960 bring change in video quality(rec/play)?

HI everybody.. my daughter's DVR got screwed up so she called the installer and the guy came and replaced with this.... no papers no documents........ charged her 800$ To me it looks pretty obsolete Your opinion... Looking for Your judgement so I know how to handle the situation... sorry, the DVR front pic is pretty fuzzy... Thanx for help

I am trying to say that the guy has replaced the DVR with one that is pretty obsolete & old type for the price of high quality DVR Any ideas

Anybody has come across these cameras? These give megapix pictures.... Will these cams work on a DVR (Dahua 1U.... ) or.. a HD SDI DVR is necessary to get most of these cams? At present I have regular Effio 700Tv line cams... Also a question about Pixim Seawolf cameras....My present cams do not work excellent with bright light.. etc.. Trying to get a better quality...

How this tool is used... it asks for user NAME & PASSWORD??????? Thanx

I am looking for the entrance (main) door camera.. my cams that I have installed are 4-9mm... I need wide angle and great depth focusing as I need to have a closer look at the all width of the entrance stairs.... what optics should I be looking for? Thanx

Thanx.. the mention of those 2 lights escaped me.. Yes they will be a problem during night as the one on the left(mine) is on all the night... I have one dome to the right under the balcony pointing to my entrance door(one on the left) it gives a clear view of person at my door... but lately I discovered that my tenants(door on the right) are having some strange activities so I decided to keep an eye on the whole 2 door space and entrance into passage leading to the doors... That's my problem

I guess the same problem here as I am having ... the light from behind the incoming person will block out the facial recognition as the light will overload the sensor and it will focus on the brighter part of the picture, in this case, the background... It might work only in case there is lots of light coming from the side of the door... otherwise it's money down the drain

The entrance views..... (the doors on the right in the pic...dark brown doors) and the passage leading to the entrance... My option might be4 a cam(dome with 2-6-12 mm) between the doors under the cover???? The sun won't be directly into the cam so the subjects might be visible and recognizable ... Suggestions? Thanx

Was considering it but... as the light comes from behind (usually it's after 3pm) and it is straight into my door, it might overload the sensor and , as it always is the case, the light from behind will render the persons face(etc) dark , so not recognizable.. am looking for something that might be installed under the roof overhang,over the doors, so there sun light does not interfere... Thanx

Lots of folks here talk about using welder's glass for cam focusing... Looks I need one.. I installed all my cams during day time, and they're all out of focus somehow... have to try focus using that glass.. Is it available in stores? Thanx

The cameras I have installed are these: http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/538868679-213161793/700_TVL_EFFIO_P_WDR_SECURITY_CAMERA.html http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/446068864-213161793/Vandalproof_Box_Sony_700_tvl_Camera.html http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/429478419-213161817/700_TVL_SECURITY_CAMERA_infrared_camera.html Been cooperating with this manufacturer for 3 yrs now... have regular 450 Tv line cams and their DVR in my office & warehouse. Decided to go a bit higher and got Dahua 1U DVR and these cameras. Frankly, even with HDMI input and these cameras I am not that happy, as the difference in picture resolution is not that much striking different... that.s why I think maybe I have to be more precise with focusing. I have been using this to set up the cam video from the same manufacturer : http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/248831832-213162256/security_monitor_video_camera_tester.html Thanx for help!

My Dahua 1U DVR + all my 5 cams (Effio 700TV lines etc) do recording on it's own... the system is put on motion recording , but regardless of that, the DVR records on it's own... with no visible motion ... so my HDD is being filled with useless information.. ? Any help from pros? Thanx

...that's not the way to react to scams like that... if You say You'd bought 10 or even 1... You're the scammer supporter... &it's not the way

That's correct!

Meaning that's a "joke"?

The DVR's .. are these NTSC/PAL? How much was the shipping... I wonder if these are still available?(Canada)

Am looking for cams (Effio 700 lines Type) color, day/nite with NO red visible lights at nite... need to install in place where it should monitor coming &going , so red glowing lights may not be damaging for security reasons. My DVR is Dahua 1U with HDMI output(1) Software version:2.608.000.2 Build:2011-7.30 As for the rest cams I have 5 Effio 700Tv lines with OSD, 4 bullet, 2 domes. Help appreciated.

Are there DVRs' that , along with the regular CCTV cams, support also IP HiRez megapixel cams?

Cables suggested?

This Dahua: DVR0404/0804/1604HE-T-4H. Any suggestions? Thanx

This is the cable that I have used.. is it that bad???? http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/338540475-213162196/30m_CCTV_CABLE.html And the BNC connectors: http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/277231823-213162196/bnc_Connector_cctv_Connector.html And the power distribution box: http://enstercctv.en.alibaba.com/product/274978832-210234474/cctv_Power_Distributor.html My daughter's house was rigged by a CCTV security company... having checked the equipment used there I found mostly the same stuff(except for the Siamese cables)... the cams look pretty cheap etc.. So is the stuff I have been using really crap, or , maybe I need something else.. As a musician (I play guitar) so I am not a novice in cables... I have a lot for my pedals and mikes... This CCTV stuff fascinates me, along with some beefed up security for my house, I may get some new knowledge. Thanx for support. PS. MOntreal Qc here
