  5. true but i have been using linux on my personal laptop for 7 months and it still runs like it did when freshly installed. even when free hard drive space got down to 100MB it worked smoothly I run XP on my computers for years and it still works smoothly. I have dozens of clients that experience the same, in fact that is a problem because I fix it so good, they never have problems. Its rare now but get the odd call about low disk space, system still runs great though. I have made XP installs under 200MB, using under 40MB memory, and that runs MS office and even 64 way remote video, running on slow SSD or even SD cards. XP is the best OS ever, no contest. Just have to know how to setup and build it properly, then the end user just uses it and unless the manually screw it up as an admin, then thats their fault - but you could always make them a user, like with Linux.

    I will accept the fact that you are a newbie, and that would explain the above claim. I alone have tens of thousands of posts regarding big brands. Search is your friend, Amy69.

    This is not a Shakespeare play either.

    Manufactured vs. Re-branded?

    There are 2 models that look similar though, the Dahua LE-AS/AN and the LE-A The LE-A has the HDMI output among other things. It may seem similar and it is in many ways, but the LE-AS/AN is the budget Dahua unit and most likely what QSee would be selling. I believe IC sells the HDMI model, which can cost a couple hundred more depending on where you buy it and how many channels it has.
  9. Why does Windows need to be updated? so that within 3 years the clueless end user buys a whole new setup because the old install has become so painfully slow. hoorah for linux In most cases it was painfully slow from day one because they bought some branded PC loaded down with programs that were all set to start up .. Next thing you know they are installing games and office 2010 and a dozen browser toolbars, and Nortons and 10 other anti viruses none of which they even need because the whole issue from day one was they bought the cheapest PC they could buy, eg. a celeron 1.6 with 256MB ram then loaded it down with crap they would never even use in a lifetime . and not to mention their HDD already is on the way out because they never used a line conditioner Now back to Linux .. lets remember that Linux also has a billion updates
  10. I found that the CNB domes I purchased came with 3 different firmware versions in a single order.

    Need to get in and disable the warning alarm for disk error. But also, normally there is a reason for it, could also just be a loose cable inside.
  12. And yet you conveniently forgot to include that important little detail in your comeback. What on earth are you talking about homeboy.
  13. Why does Windows need to be updated?
  14. Not through the coax. If you could update the firmware at all, you would have to take the camera down and plug a JTAG programmer into it. IP cameras can be updated in place over the Ethernet. Nah you dont say .... COULD was in caps for a reason. I dont think anyone was disputing whether an IP device can be updated over, IP, its something I do almost daily.
  15. Yeah on the DVR itself you should be getting a disk smart error .. I had a DVR doing that and after a format it never came back. It might be more related to the file system, the log explanation doesnt even mention it though. What firmware is on the DVRs?
  16. The computer you use to record the video from the IP camera was outdated a couple months before you bought it

    QVIS Cyborg

    the manual is normally on the CD.
  18. Paypal/Ebay sucks, it is geared towards north americans. they hate us foreigners, charges can be triple and there are a ton of restrictions for foreigners. its basically useless to us, probably useless to the asian resellers also.
  19. I dont see anything about recording resolution, it could all be CIF.

    i don't like being watched and i am a law abiding citizen. i don't really like anything about living in a city to be honest. my house on a hill awaits... If I was in the UK I think I would be living on a farm riding horses and eating scones with devonshire clotted cream, and ofcourse eating bangers and mash
