That dvr will only support low resolution analog cameras. If you want to reuse your cable you can get an HD over coax system like these. http://www.costco.com/Q-See-8-Channel-HD-Analog-DVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-720p-Cameras-with-100'-Night-Vision.product.100161016.html or http://www.costco.com/Lorex-8-Channel-HD-Analog-DVR-with-2TB-HDD%2c-8-1080p-Cameras-with-130'-Night-Vision.product.100218592.html If your budget allows and you are willing to run ethernet you can move up to ip cameras.

you need to provide the model of the dvr...there are many types of hd cameras.....

You are very welcome. Guess you are part of the entitled generation. Since you are seeking advice, here is some. Next time you visit any forum, instead of being a sarcastic p****, bump your post gently and ask for help.

Why dont you take the camera down and test it with a good cable...you may think 5% is insignificant, the camera might disagree. Laview is rebranded hikvision. You should not be having this problem...also what is your cpu consumption when testing in ispy? What you are seeing is dropped frames....try increasing your iframe interval to 20. try setting to constant bitrate.

The webpage uses different protocols to transmit the video......fix your network..what are your camera settings?

use sadp to see the actual serial

There is a firmware update that fixes this. Make sure your have a US region camera before updating.

You can run at max settings but as pointed out earlier its not nessesay...you will not see a difference if your run at 4096...Cat5e is meaningless, what brand? there are cheap cca cables that will cause tons of packet loss. Even bad crimps...Take the camera down, run a short cable and test. If you still have the problem, try recording direct to pc and see if the problems is resolved.

Wifi is much of your issue...its always going to cause problems... Dont use detection..select the proper camera form the dropdown...you should really toss the sricam in the trash, you will be better off for it.

its being implemented according to the developer. Its much better in terms of its feature set.....if you are having the same issues with blue iris, milestone, vlc etc..then you have a network problem or you have impropery set your camera..reset to default and start over....the cameras own software is likely displaying the substream... So... would it be better to pull the substream with blue iris? I guess the main thing i want is 1080p recording, doesn't make sense to me to do all this work and spend the money if I cant ID someone from the footage if something were to happen. The only way I have found to get a smooth feed so far is dropping to 720p No, you dont have to pull the substream. There is something wrong with your network or camera settings...This is user error, you need to figure out what is wrong. First thing is to reset EVERYTHING in the camera to default - do a factory reset. Then try again. Do you think all of us using 1080/3mp/4mp cameras are recording the substream only? no. There is something wrong with your setup. How is your network setup? how are the cams connected to the network?

You can ignore sunnykim. He has an agenda...There is some glitch in ispy causing this. You are likely better off on the ispy forum. Try blue iris, its light years ahead of ispy and there are no monthly charges for remote viewing or alerts like ispy. As I've said earlier, tried blue iris, it was slightly better but not great by any means. Does that use hardware acceleration or no? its being implemented according to the developer. Its much better in terms of its feature set.....if you are having the same issues with blue iris, milestone, vlc etc..then you have a network problem or you have impropery set your camera..reset to default and start over....the cameras own software is likely displaying the substream...

One thread and you like it in every post. That user has a network or hard drive problem. Stop misleading. The cameras do not use the same sensor. How far will you China scammers go to promote and peddle your junk.

When you go for IP camera system, please read the today's thread viewtopic.php?f=12&t=47989. 4MP IP Cameras? Wow that may cause a lot compelxity to Playback/Saving. I may recommend 720P IP, if you are confident with IP system. You may go for HD-Analog systems (720P is good enough)-HD-AHD/HD-CVI/HD-TVI, for your home application. There is no complexity. It may be too complex for you. Why dont you go find posts where folks are having trouble with D1 dvr's and 720p systems. One post is meaningless. Stop purposely misrepresenting facts. Go sell your D1 junk someplace else.

Why not? Do you live in a country that prohibits this?

You dont know what you are talking about. This is a network related issue. Thousands of other people dont have this issue. Why dont I have this problem? One post and sunnykim pops his china scammer head up out of the sand. Fool. Search this forum for thousands of problems with analog. Do you blame analog or the installer? We are not dumb here in america. You cannot scam us anymore. We have youtube!!!! We can see the difference between D1 and 4mp. Fool. Time to take some networking classes sunnykim. Go back to your china assembly line and keep making your D1 low resolution garbage that your company dumps on unsuspecting fools. His answer is simply to blame your network bandwidth, not to blame the system of IP Camera. How come I dont have this issue? How come thousands of others dont have this issue? hmmmmm. Just installed 12 cameras. 3mp, 15fps, 4096 bitrate. All run smooth as butter. Do I have a magic cameras? FYI, the frame rate is irrelevant and distinct from the bitrate. You keep mentioning it like it has an effect. Please learn the concepts before commenting. OP should tell us what model switch he is using...cables - copper not china junk CCA (copper clad aluminium). Hard drive? Is it a green or other slow drive? etc..

IR will not pass through windows. Properly mount your camera outside. You wont get a good image through a window.

The biggest issue is that they have not been proven reliable. Anyone can build a camera that lasts 6 months. The cost of sending a technician out to replace a camera or 20 because you went with a low end product is not worth it (cost, customer satisfaction) There have been so many of these fly by night cams that end up being horror stories after 6 months or a year.

Contrary to what is stated above, there are cameras that perform really well in low light. But you will have to pay. Checkout hikvisions darkfighter series. About 600. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1162153-REG/hikvision_darkfighter_series_ds_2cd4526fwd_izh_2mp.html This camera includes motorized varifocal. Alternatively you can go with 720p camera that, in general perform better in low light, see also dahua 2100 series 1.3mp cameras which have exceptionally great night vision. 16mp cameras do not use the same sensor and 720p cameras...higher mp camera like a 4mp will perform much better in daylight, but at night a 720p, in general, will be better. The darkfighter camera will perform exceptionally well at night and low light.

Check your external ip address....if you also rebooted your modem, it may have changed.

So you post a vague question without any detail (model etc), then dont get a response in your three hour time window.....what did you expect?

you will not see wires running on your brick. You simply need to hire a professional to properly run the ethernet INSIDE the walls. You are asking for trouble with wifi. Do not do it.

Do you understand what POE is? what is this power concentration drawback? What troubleshooting? This makes zero sense. There is nothing to configure, just plug and play.

You need to run cables for power anyway...hire a professional to run wire in the walls. Wifi will never work right. You will never get good signal with 5ghz, it doesnt penetrate well. You also need to do much more research...there is no such thing as a router built into a dvr..what you may be referring to is an NVR with POE capability.
