Not a pro, but I would guess your exposure is set too slow. That allows a good static night scene, but causes ghosting when there is movement.

Hopefully my buddy Tom will pipe in with advice.

 

 

I have some setting on the camera that can be adjusted. Maybe an adjustment is needed. Look forward to getting more info on it.. Thanks!

 

Hi 51cent has it right .... I would also say drop your Fps down as well.

 

But you may not find a in between setting for your view as technically your image is two views (dark top light bottom)

 

I would look at setting your camera back to auto and then use a sensor on your light and have that set for just your drive way and that will again turn your camera colour but also past your drive way it will be BW when drive way sensor is not activated

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the tips. I will try that also. Here are the settings for the camera right now. Change the FPS?

Thanks!

Any CCTC pros out there that can make a suggestion? Thx

Hi, its been awhile.

I have a pair of Trendnet 3MP TV-IP310PI cameras. They record to a Trendnet NVR that has a 4TB purple drive. One camera I keep in color mode 24-7 because my driveway is well lit. The problem is the video it records at night it choppy and people walking by are blurry. Daytime video is super clear and very good.

Here is a video of 3 people (suspected of breaking into cars) walking by twice (11:02 and 11:05) Can't really make them out. Any ideas how to get better video?

Is this offer still good? If yes, let me know here at http://www.cctvforum.com

Sorry, both have sold yesterday. Thanks.

Bump - Still for sale.

$325 each or $600 for both. Need to move these. Great price.

Sorry, I been very busy with work and dealing with the power outages from the storms last week. I lowered the price to $389 each to move them fast. Could use the money right now.

Thanks.

I'll try and post them tonight when I get home.

CNB IVC5055VR 2MP Outdoor Vandal Dome IP Cameras for sale

I bought two of these, then got 4 more. I only used 4 total, so I have 2 for sale.

They are brand new. Specs can be found here:

http://www.cnbtec.com/en/html/product/product.php?seqx_prod=1340

Asking $389 each shipped, or $650 for both shipped.

I will include a free 100ft CAT6 patch cable with each camera.

I went just a little above the min spec system req that was in the software manual. Either way is a moot point as the system has been built and working for over a week now.

I thing my remote problem was a combination of things. My firewall at work is blocking a lot of ports though. It seems only port 80 and 443 are open. I know 21 is open because I use an FTP program from work. Some other ports that I use for cPanel and Web Host Manager (2082 and 2086) are blocked.

I got my cameras working through the CNB XViewer iPhone App only on a 3G connection when I am not connected to the network at work.

I still would like to use the CMS connected to the NVR server/Cameras on my laptop from work so that I will still have to work on.

I'll be heading home soon to try all of these ideas. I'll let you know how I make out tonight.

I have FIOS TV service (3 STBs), FIOS VoIP Phone and 25/25 FIOS Internet. The Actiontec is the latest revision model with Wireless N. When I log into the Actiontec, all options seems to be available.

Finding out what software I have looked to be pretty easy when I was able to see the NVR software setup page with all options from my web browser at work. That happened when I set port 80 to forward to the internal ip of the NVR pc. I just put in my public IP and the page loaded. I was not able to connect the CMS to the NVR that day from work though. Keep saying no response form server in the CMS. I am assuming I did't not set it up correctly.

Man, I thought I was following you, but I seem lost again. LOL

So, I first establish the secure connect from my laptop (remotely, lets say at work) to my NVR PC at home. Then I will be able to launch the CMS installed on my laptop and it will be able to connection to the NVR server?

Groovy...do I put that username and pw in this setup page of the CMS??

So, I guess I should first get remote access working to the NVR in the CMS. What settings/ports, do you all recommend doing? And then what do I set on the FIOS router? Once I can confirm that is working, I can try the VPN option i guess.

I set my FIOS Router port 80 to forward to my PC NVR. What prevents someone from putting my public ip in and accessing the NVR?

 

 

This is always going to be password protected. It is going to ask you for your user and pass at every log in.

 

Thank you,

What is password protected? The NVR software does not have password protection, a feature that the manual says is not available yet/

Maybe I can try the VPN built into Windows 7

hi. have you had your system working with your external ip. (over network not just local ) and also on another network?

 

80 is your default port but you can change this to make your network secure. pick something from 83 to 5555. and which ever number you pick portforward that to your setup.

 

you also need to portforward port 8602

Hello. When I was at home...I used my public IP address and port 80 and it connected, but when I got to work it wasn't connecting.

I had port 80 forwarding to the NVR PC's internal IP. Opening up port 80 to the NVR allowed me to load my NVR setup and configuration page in any web browser, which freaked me out because anyone could do that if they knew the IP and port so I removed the port forwarding.

The problem is that the NVR software doesn't have any option to setup a username and password. Supposedly its a feature not avail yet per the NVR manual. So everyone is trying to help me setup a secure connection for using the CMS to connect to my NVR at home.

The VPN router would go between the Fios router and Trendnet switch. First a VPN connection would be made to the vpn router which will create an encrypted tunnel with your device (smartphone, laptop, desktop, etc.). Then you can access resources on the network as if you were physically on the network itself.

 

Very simply, once connected via the VPN router you would use the internal IP address of the NVR because at this point the vpn router will handle all incoming requests. The VPN router actually assigns an internal ip address over the tunnel.

 

Now, there are methods where a vpn router isn't needed and a vpn connection can be made directly to a PC or Server on the network. See these threads on getting started:

Here's another step by step guide on setting up a vpn using windows 7:

Thanks for this info. I will check out those links. All my PC's are running Win 7 pro 64 so doing a direct VPN connection may be an option.

In your first picture the box is labeled server management with a user name and password. Do you just leave that blank?

I honestly don't know what that is for since the NVR doesn't have any username/pws. That might be for connecting to each IP camera separately I think. Those have usernames/pws. If I did it that way when I won't be able to search the NVR remotely.

Those fields are blank for my Local NVR connection configuration, which works fine.

You could setup a VPN. That will secure the network against unauthorized access.

I know nothing about VPN, so bare with me....

In order to get the CMS to connect to my NVR from outside of my home network I need to provide my public ip and port number....There is also a username/ pw field. Is that used for VPN?

Currently, I connect the CMS to the NVR from within my network using the NVR PC's ip address (assigned by my router) and port 80 (which was default).

This is my current network setup...where would the VPN router go?

Yeah, I do not know what to do right now. I guess I'll have to wait for CNB to fix their NVR software.

I didnt read through it thoroughly but your right I didnt see any username and password info either. I havent really played much with CNB's software either, perhaps I dont have a good understanding of it but from what I see is the CMS software is the client software that connects to the NVR? If that is correct, then just like you said anyone can get the free CMS software and connect to your NVR if they had your IP address. If thats the case, thats outrageous.

Yeah, I think that is the case. I am going to ask the CNB tech about it. For now, I have disabled the port forwarding to the NVR until I can get it setup securely for remote access. Maybe there is another way I can protect it on my end.

The NVR does not have an option for username and pw

 

Are you sure? I have never seen an NVR or DVR that wasnt password protected. I doubt they would make it that easy for anyone to gain access. It may default to a non-authenticated login, but I bet somewhere in the settings you can password protect it. This would be something completely new that I have seen, I would be baffled if they didnt allow this.

Security has and + next to it which means not avail yet. LOL
