Will my image quality improve if I purchase quality cameras
troyg posted a topic in Security Cameras
I purchase a cheap setup on eBay. I was on a budget at the time and planning on possible upgrading to a better system next year. In the mean time I go out and purchase a few 700-750TVL CCD cameras would that improve the image quality. I mounted two of the 4 cams already on the outside and believe it or not they are not all that bad. I've seen allot worse. I tried mounting one inside my 2 car garage and that was awful. Any recommendation on a cam for the garage. Here is the system I bought. Any thought on it and did I just waste my money. http://www.ebay.com/itm/111094625915?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 -
My IP keeps changing on my DVR...HELP

Thanks for the link. I will Definitely order the cables from ther and possible another cam. My 8ch system only came with 4 bullet cams and I have I was thinking of adding a dome cam for viewing my garage to possible give it a wider angle so I can see my 5 year old while he destoying the garage. Can you recommend a good dome came with possible a better resolution than these bullet cams. Should I give 700TVL? -
My IP keeps changing on my DVR...HELP

You convinced me to move it. It should be an easy move as my garage is right below the attic and I have plenty of slack coiled up in the attic so no extensions will be needed. While we are talking about cables I still need to run a few more cameras to the back of my home and the distance may exceed the 60' cables that came with my DVR. It might take a 100 footer to complete and I am going to order one or two from Amazon. Does the distance play a factor in this before I order? -
My IP keeps changing on my DVR...HELP

Shockwave My attic is not climate controlled and is very hot as I live in South Florida. Any suggestions I can do for leaving it there, laptop cooling pad or a fan. -
I just bought my first CCTV 8ch system off of eBay. It came with 4 bullet cams. When i view it on the monitor the picture looks amazing but when I view it from my Ipad/iphone or PC it looks so so. I dint pay a whole lot for the system but I was wondering if i bought a few better quality camera would that make much of a difference? I was looking at the 700TVL Dome cameras. Will these make a difference for viewing remotely? thanks

Shockwave thanks so much for your fast response and help. I just went up into my attic again and got the new IP from the DVR and put it into my router, everything came up and I went back up and unchecked the DHCP and all is good. I think you may be right as the DVR was the one that always had a new IP address. I will keep you posted and also have my fingers crossed. The countdown begins. Thanks again. -
I just picked my first CCTV and I purchased it off of Ebay. Im far a noob when it comes to IP and setting these up but I did manage to get it going within a days work. I am able to log into it through my Ipad/Iphone and through my PC by going to http://####.no-ip.biz/ on which allows me to change my configs in the DVR if needed. I really like that as i mounted it in the attic and its easy for me to make any changes. Well everything works fine but after a few days Lose all remote connections. The first time it happened it took me a whole day to figure it out what was wrong. I went into my DRV setting and noticed the IP was different from what I wrote down. Well I took the new IP and put it into my router and everything came back up again. A few days later same thing. What am I doing wrong and why is my IP changing all the time. I have been reading a bit and its looking like I may need a static IP. I really dont want to go that route as I know my ISP will charge me more and Im not looking to spend anymore monthly than what I am giving them now. I am using a Linksys E1200 for a wireless router. My CCTV is a Elec 8 Ch CCTV Security DVR System with 500GB. The instructions for the system made me create an account at www.no-ip.com on which I did and also made me input all the information from my DVR into my router such as IP, media port, HTTP port and mobile monitor port. Like I said everything work fine and I was very happy but I keep losing connection. I'm very frustrated and I am trying to reasearch on my own but its like reading a another language I don't understand. Thanks in advance and I feel I will be spending alot of time here.
