I have a customer who is having the same issue , did you get to the bottom of what was causing this ?

So if the room is 40 metres away, what do you propose as coax should be a better solution for this type of run as vga nor HDMI would run this far , I know exactly what I'm talking about, the OP hasn't stated how far away the tv's are so don't presume they are next to the recorder

If your dvr isn't near the tv that you want to connect it , what you'll need is to see if your dvr has a video output port usually a BNC connector , then you need a bnc to Rca cable , then you'll be able to connect your dvr to a rf modulator and then send the cctv via coax to the room you want ,

Looks like it could be possible spider webs , if possible go to the cameras and give them a wipe as it could be dry rain stains

So Ive had a look on my suppliers website and they currently stock the following nvr Hikvision 7604NI-SE-P it has 4 ports which supplies Poe to the cameras , as I've never done I.p so I can't recommend any cameras but most hikvision cameras especially I.p are good quality and have a good spec ,the hikvision brand is really easy for setting up to view on your phone as it has a p2p called ezviz cloud p2p , if you need anymore help let me know

Ok I will get you some cameras and Nvrs which fit your requirement

Are you based in the uk ? Have you thought of a location for the dvr , along with the cable routes , also are you planning on connecting it to the router so you can remotely view the cameras ?

Have you got a picture of the dvr?

What make of dvr do you have ??

It's looks like a copy of the qvis Apollo dvrs, like Brian said if it's I.p your after then you could just put rj45 connectors on the cable then plug in to the Poe dvr , this would work fine, where abouts do you live .? I can point you in the right direction if you need any further assistance

I won't ever be using cat5 again part from ip cams or lan connections to the dvr , I think it's too fiddly to do the baluns using cat5 , it's more time consuming aswell compared to using rg59

I too have reverted back to rg59 as I did 1 install with cat5 and had problems so I re cabled in rg59 wit no issues

and finally you'll need the female ends for the dvr end , are you based in the uk?.

And these for power. The way I wire them is use 1 pair for video then you'll be left with 3 remaining pairs , I use the solid colours for positive then the opposite colours for negative , for the video balun I use the blue pair and the solid for positive and pale blue for negative

I would recommend you switch to these type as I've always had issues with them

So are you using something like this

To see if it is a power issue or if it's the cat5 cable giving off interference unplug the 4 way splitter and power 1 camera off the main 5a power supply and see if it's still doing the same , if it is then you know it's down to the cabling and not the power supply

Do you live in the uk ?.

Make sure they won't want to upgrade again otherwise you'll want to fit a 16 channel dvr , to future proof ,then I would check what dvr you want , I'm not sure on qvis as I came away from them and switched to hikvision just because you can use there free dyndns service or there free p2p connection also called ezviz, then finally you might have to switch to a hdtvi dvr As it supports the new hdtvi technology and anologue cameras, I'm sure most of the old technology has been replaced by the hdtvi technology , so you could replace your customers cameras to HD or leave them and use anologue , if you need any more info let me know

I know this may sound daft but on the network settings is the dhcp setting enabled , I had a similar issue with a different dvr which was also p2p and I could view whilst connected to the home wifi but not when I was connected via a different wifi , and I found out the reason was the dhcp was not enabled so the dvr wasn't getting the correct settings for the router ,once I had enabled this I could view it were ever I wanted

If you've set the dvr as a static I.p address rather than dhcp that is your issue, I had a similar problem with a avtech system and qvis ,so I set the dvr to dhcp and it appeared ,make sure you reboot the dvr once changed, then tell the router to reserve that I.p address only for the dvr and then it won't change it. That should fix your issue

Try swapping port 80 to port 90, on the dvr and opening port 90 on your router this should fix your problem

We're abouts was you working, I'm a sky engineer so could of fixed it for you, we always drill inside out, I take it off hammer last 3 inches or so and never burst the render, you've got a higher risk of bursting the plaster off as it's not as thick

Daft question, but you've registered your dvr unit with hik-online ?.

Your best place to go is YouTube for setups on different wiring and setup on dvrs and networking etc
