TOP-SECRET

Hey y'all I was wondering if someone would know what's the problem over here - The DVR is connected VGA to VGA into a screen of it's own (new screen). At day - colors don't show up "right" (grass is not green, pool not so blue etc). At night - pitch black. you can't see anything IF something will occur... Day: http://oi44.tinypic.com/x5qr7c.jpg Night: http://oi43.tinypic.com/2ilmrkl.jpg I did setup all the things I could, Tried switching from PAL to NTSC (although I'm in France - SECAM), Tried playing with hue, brightness - what haven't I tried. nothing. It's not the screen, that I can assure you. on startup - all colors looks great, Then the DVR kicks in - the split 4 shows up - and the situation is as shown... Any ideas what's wrong over here?? My primary thought was "the IR light don't go so far - that's why it's black", BUT - thing is - the garage door (bottom left) is even further that pool (upper left). So apparently it's not that reason :\ Thanks!!

Just another question - Can I change the DVR (capable of the same camera connections of course) and that's all?! I'm looking for a way to at least use what I've already bought and change the less possible. And vice versa. I mean - if it's the cameras - what type should I use with this miserable DVR?

Hi all! It seems as if I have a little connection problem... I connected my DVR (H.264) via a normal 10/100 cable - Checked DHCP Enabled under the network menu and received an IP. Placed it in an iPhone app (MEyePro+) and connected smoothly. It was only when I was out of home, on the 3G network, to notice - I can't connect to the DVR... nothing would help, errors all the way. Came back home, iPhone autoconnect to the WIFI - and all was OK. What could be the problem?? an IP is an IP, isn't that so?? I have no clue whatsoever what should be done, please rescue... Thanks!! p.s - the seller of the set (ebay) says something about DDNS, don't know if he's right or how to set it up. registered on NOIP.com and when I placed their IP - I can't even connect when I'm at home on the WIFI.

Anyone? The seller now tells me that I need to use a ARSP realm name for remote access... I have no clue where to start and how to set it up. I just want to connect remotely.

Thanks Tom, that's good to know... I'm not into DVR's specs etc, so it's all new to me So that's it then, eh? the colors will be like that for good... ah sigh! It's strange thought, Blue looks like blue (kind of faded) and Pink looks the same (faded), Rest is all like B&W... no greens, no yellows, nothing quite shows up. As for the "pitch-black" shots in the night, is it also doomed??

Thanks for your reply, Tom! Yeah, they were pretty dirt cheap... $120us on eBay (excluding S&H) - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190750460929 We just wanted something to cover both entrances and two other parts, Stuff was disappearing from our front lawn and we had to do something... I didn't look after HD or expensive stuff, just something to record the place. As much as it's nice to have it recorded now - it would be nicer to see right
