Guys, I need your help. I require a system whereby only one person can gain access into the room at a time. It should come with something like a semi circle glass door and only one person can enter at a time. Does anyone of you know of this kind of system? So far I have only seen it in movies. Please assist me on this and it would be good if you could tell me who I am able to get it from. Thank you.

In fact, we have hooked up with some of the local distributors and some from Korea, Taiwan and even China. But some of their products are not up to satisfactory adn the prices are also pretty steep. So trying to see if there're and good recommendations on reliable and value for money suppliers from you guys here. CBC and Extreme sounds new to me, maybe I will check that out. Thanks bro.

Hi guys, my friend and I are intending to start out in this industry. Jsut wondering if anyone can give any opinions on the DVRs, regardless whether it's PC Based or Standalone ones to get and do you have any suppliers to recommend? I am looking for good quality cctv cameras suppliers too. Do recommend me value for money brands, good, raliable yet cost savings haha. Just for your information, I'm located in Singapore. Thanks in advance.

Oh no worries. Been in something related for the past 6 years. I was in the government sector dealing in security. Now helping a friend in his newly startup security business. So hope to get assistance from you guys to introduce to me some good recommendations that you have. Hope i would be able to get some good recommendations here. Thanks.

Thank man...I guess it will cost a bomb for it...

Thanks bro for the info.

Any bros here can give any info on the size of a UPS capable to power 4 cameras and a standalone DVR? Would the UPS be very costly? Is there any difference for the size of the UPS on a PC based DVR and on a standaline DVR? Thank you guys.

Thanks for the link. Does it apply to standalone DVRs also or juz to PC based system? Just wondering whether both has the same power consumption..

Thanks bro for the information. I have checked with UPS but it seems quite costly to get a UPS. The price of the UPS I was quoted for is almost as expensive as the system itself...

I've decided to leave it to the contractors to lay the cables for the CCTVs and DVR for me. I was informed by them that their part is only to do the laying of wires and that's about it. It does not include testing & commissioning. What do they mean by testing and commissioning? Pardon my ignorance. So does laying wire also include plugging up the CCTVs to the DVR and power supply? If not, is it a simple task to be done on my own? Thank you.

It requires some experience, whether using Twist Ons or Crimps, but its really not that difficult. But if the connector isnt on properly then you will experience issues. Wow, another lesson learnt...will take note of the connectors when installing. Thanks man

Thanks man... So i guess not any Tom, Dick & Harry can get the connectors installed on cable.

Oic...thank you very much.

Anyone knows where I can get a meter for testing signal strength and freq. from? Is it a must to test for the signal and freq...or can I just plug and play...

Hey thanks man. THis is such a wonderful forum with wonderful people around.

Hi thanks for enlightening . Ermm but what do you mean by tipped? I really know nuts about this. Basically I just tried getting a separate system on my own and now I'm trying to find someone to install it up for me... but the cost is rather expensive. For the 'power' part, to be frank, I'm totally lost. Thank you

Hi guys, may I know what's the difference between DVR cards and standalone DVRs? Why is there such a big price difference between the two? The DVR cards seemed to be so much cheaper than the standalone DVR? Thanks guys.

Oic Thanks man. So it means those that i saw might be fake...

Ermm I think some of it has no brand. I think the brand is Kodicom, there is also one for Geovision.

Thanks Rory, but the DVR cards states that it comes along with an OS for Windows 2000/XP so meaning it's embedded with OS right?

Hmmm I'm starting to have second thoughts... ANyway thanks man for the advice.

Hi guys...anyone has anything to say about Everfocus EDSR400H asI'm considering whether to get it. It comes with a 80GB HDD so how long can that store for MJPEG formats? Thanks

Pardon me but I don't really get what mobile app. means? I'm actually looking for a DVR to install in my retail outlet with 4 cameras, therefore I'm getting the everfocus one...

Thanks for the info Just being realistic, motion will get you alot more, could range up to 1 month with motion. Non stop record (continuous, time lapse) and highest resolution will eat the space up quick. Like kand said, recording speed and quality settings will also be a major factor. The Actual model/brand of DVR used makes the difference also. Rory

Wow it sounds pretty little...4 - 7 dys only...hmmm thanks.
