Let's just say OK for now. But let us know how that goes. I've found the answers are generic or vague. Can you try increasing the paging file. Minimum should be double the memory space. Also under performance, Click on Adjust for best Performance. I also use a 32GB SSD Caching drive the increases the performance significantly. Please send screen shots after the paging file change and adjust for best performance.

Can you post a screen shot of your process tab? Also a screen grab of your running cores? Also, I would never recommend using onboard video. For video surveillance it is just bad practice, I know some will argue that it works but in general it is bad practice and not recommended. Traditionally an analog system offers live video of the bus. IP since it is compressed at the camera, the server than has to transcode the video in order to offer a live view. For smaller systems we found the ATI 6450 2GB card outperforms the NVIDIA. Especially if you are using software from overseas, the ATI has had better performance, from years of experience in strange and inconsistent issues related to the video card.

Sometimes the trick is to take a older version and re-name it so it numerically is higher. IE: 3.4.17 is current. 3.4.12 is old. Rename to 3.4.18 Worth a try. You might want to rename from a DOS prompt as Windows sometimes adds extra bytes. Either way let us know.

The other option is plug your DVR into the second port of your Comcast router. If you do this make sure DHCP is turned off in Comcast router and assign a static for your DVR. If you have business class with static IPs you can assign the second static. This saves you from 2 issues compare to doing the double NAT routing. Issues you may encounter: 1. Same address can be used inside and outside. Some routers require you to use internal IP when using a phone or browser and an outside address when your remote device has an external IP. There are ways around this but with dual NAT routing added to the equation, it gets ugly fast and can reduce your performance. 2. The static IP assignment does not require DYNDNS setup. Although DynDNS does work. I find the time you really need it to work the DNS update didn't sync. Obviously this is optional. There are several other ways but not as clean and straight forward. Some have complained of latency issues when dual routing and others say it was fine. All depends on equipment. Side Note: Are you using the internal router primarily because it has WIFI? I see most people using double routers because the second one provides Wifi. If you only want the wifi capability: 1. Turn off DHCP in the Netgear. 2. Remove cable from WAN port of Netgear and plug into one of the LAN ports. 3. Make sure DHCP is enabled in Comcast 4. Create your IP subnet 5. Assign an IP address for your internal Netgear (Not your gateway) address. Comcast router is now your new gateway. Netgear WAN port is not used. Wireless still connects with devices using Comcast direct. You may even notice faster performance.

Yes please clarify the DVR model you are using. Hybrid 16 & 4 could mean 16 analog & 4 HD-SDI. If the 4 are BNCs on the back then most likely HD-SDI. Like Mindtwist mentioned, if you have a analog/ip hybrid then ONVIF or proprietary method are the standard was of receiving. NVR connections are primarily made through the control port not necessarily through http as that is used as the web access. As an example for Dahua. Out of the box 80 is your HTTP. This ONLY serves the web page which calls on Active-X and the true video is called on 37777. However, the 3.0 version for browser neutrality uses 554 the RTSP port and Quicktime to decode in the browser. I can look at creating a proxy server similar to Wowza but one that can take a stream then transform to an Onvif compliant format. Obviously this would be in my free-time unless there is a higher demand and people are willing to kick in. I can currently take a Dahua RTSP stream and display on a website but since IP cameras are ONVIF (most) I can't really see the need to take just any RTSP stream and record it to a DVR. Would be awesome to record 16 sporting events at the same time, "eat your heart out Dish with recording 5 shows at once." On a posting note, when posting to a forum, you should indicate the make and model of the equipment you have with the configuration such as hard drives, network setup, ports assigned, etc that is relevant to the post. This will save you waiting days sorting out a proper response and also contain a higher probability of a correct answer. There are things that can be done in theory, things that can be down right now and of course custom. Sort of state what you have, then what you want to do. Example: I have: DH-DVR1604HF-U-E with 1TB Port forwarding with 80,37777,554 TCP Open from the outside 2 IP cameras are outside the internal network 2 IP Camera inside the local network I would like to know if I can........................... How do you ............................ Outside access is not working................ You get the idea. This is not directed to you personally just hoping more people see the post and follow as a greater percentage of posts are vague and it takes days of pulling teeth and asking specifics before we get to an answer.

Wow for those prices I'd fly out to put that in. IF the weather is anything above 40F right now, I'm game. Have you checked a phone /datacom installer? If it is 2 wire you can replace your existing doorbell and use that pair for intercom. For video, if they cam run a CAT5 and terminate the ends for you. There are cheap solutions less than $300 unless you want a dedicated station then your looking around $600-800. Plug and play too, not much in configuration. If you want cheap, your cable provider like Xfinity Home also does installation of it. IF they include the equipment as part of the service then usually if i goes out they replace for free too. Check into it. Also an alarm installation company may have this as well.

Yes this is very possible BUT first who is your carrier ? Sprint and Verizon recently changed how they do it using a dual routing technique. Basically they use a non-routable in the card that talks to their outside gateway. What this means: You cannot control the gateway firewall to port forward as they do not want you to host servers on their network. Secondly, if you could get it work, your bill would be astronomical as it would surpass your monthly allowable or so called throttle limit and your speeds would suffer. On the camera side, any IP camera would work as long as you can adjust the bitrate and/or frame rate to match your service. H.264 preferred. But I never say never. 1. Longshot. Find an old Sprint PCMCIA air card. Not 4g/LTE but it does not have the routing restriction. This does work. 2. Camera push. We have taken a HD-SDI camera with a push encoder then streamed to an Amazon Cloudfront Instance. (Your looking at over $2k without the camera to do this) Revision: Ok did a little more digging and somethings may have changed. I was right on the earlier part but it appears you can purchase a static IP address which bypasses the NAT. But check with your provider as this may go back to cost and contract TOS for hosting a server. I spoke with my contact and looked into your inquiry a bit more. So basically our network with that router works as essentially a private network ip address and translation. The only way we can change the way we can alter the way our network works is by purchasing a static ip address as an alternative solution. Otherwise, you would have to configure your server or SIP applications to work with the way our network is designed which we don’t have support for. As another alternative that was mentioned to me, VPN or possibly a STUN or 3rd party server, but again that’s not something we have support for." Verizon Support- This was for hosting VOIP but same principal. It does however appear the Verizon Jetpack supports port forwarding so using a wireless bridge and an IP camera or wireless IP camera may work. I will follow this post to see if anyone has successfully tried this: If so, please advise on configuration, your monthly bill amount and any caveats.

Can you send a close up photo of the left side of the board?

I think it is bricked.

If you PM me with your email address I can send you the manual for this. 12VDC out is for external camera power.

In most cases it maybe impossible to find one that matches exact. A neat rick that is inexpensive is: 1. 2 "U" bolts with muffler clamps. 2. A 1900 electrical box cover. You can also find one that has a center knockout. (Run you camer cable through here) 3. Mount the clamps and measure the hole pattern 4. Drill the holes to mount the plate to the clamps and then mount the camera to the plate. (You can paint the entire assembly to match you camera or pole color) Other option in to use a weatherproof 1900 box with cover. Attached box to clamps, camera to cover and secure your wires inside. For either option there are several weather proof grommets to choose from. You could also use an of the shelf pole mount and ad a shallow box as a base if the camera doesn't fit direct. Im glad I tried researching muffler clamps before finishing this post. You may need US style like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Muffler-Clamp-2-5-Inch-/400106605465?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d28364b99&vxp=mtr It appears the ones on Ebay.uk are completely different.

For the best image. 1. Hd-SDI camera 2. HD-SDI to HDMI converter 3. HDMI cable to TV Best image you will ever see !

Ok try with battery out, disk unplugged. Also unplug the cable that goes to the front panel. Were any of the cameras outdoor cameras? Was this in a commercial environment?

"Never say never, you just inspire those to do what seems impossible"- Pete Gazda Try this: vlc.exe -I http -vv camURL :sout=#transcode{vcodec=h264,vb=0,scale=0,acodec=mp4a,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:http{mux=ffmpeg{mux=flv},dst=addr:availablePort} This converts an RTMP to HTTP output. PM me more information on your setup. I would be interested in pursuing this further.

Your are referring to encoding and decoding. We have successfully encoded a stream to an Amazon Cloudfront from VLC and then DECODED using hardware decoder with HD-SDI out then into a DVR. What your proposing is using a software decoder: 1. What DVR is it? 2. What stream can it receive? 3. Odds are it would require some custom coding to decode the stream. It maybe possible to re-encode into a IP stream the DVR can recognize. What is the end goal you are trying to accomplish? Maybe there is another way if I knew more.

What DVR? 1080p is generally reserved for DVI & HDMI. Try using a video format 16:9 vs 4:3. If your DVR is outputing 4:3 via RCA (BNC Spot monitor out) most likely it is set for 4:3. You are going to have to provide more information to further diagnose.

The new M15 will have dual modular sensors and come in 3 versions, Day, Night and Night LPF Also new is the 5MP sensor that has 4 times the low light capability compared to the 3MP. Big price difference between $1100 and $6200 for thermal.

This is typical as they don't want to show. 1. Your model QC818-1 is 15fps at 1080p. Some manufacturers are as low as 7fps. 2. Some use accumulative computing so 1st channel is 30fps but the remaining are less 3. 4 channels seems to maintain 30fps but the larger they get the lower the individual framerate. Dahua HD-SDI DVRs for example 4&8ch at 30fps while 16ch is 15fps. This is due to the use of a single encoder vs dual encoders. Not sure why they haven't considered. As far as Amazon, you get return support NOT TRUE TECHNICAL SUPPORT, at least any that is not scripted. I would recommend any of the Dahua product line because we have been using for over 6 years during their infancy and find firmware, usage and overall stability. The only issue I have found is the power supply brick that comes with it. When it goes out, it is not completely dead. It registers 12v BUT can no longer support the hard drive draw. You may see: 1. Getting stuck on logo screen during boot 2. No longer seeing the hard drive 3. Erratic freezing

Bring with you to Radio Shack and try both plugs. Extending shouldn't be an issue depending on length. See voltage drop calculators.

The voltage maybe correct but the amperage may not be. Try a different power supply and also try without the hard drive attached. Is your power supply 3.5 Amps ?

Sometimes the "Unauthorized" dealers know more about the equipment than the authorized ones do and speak English vs Engrish. Authorized dealers just mean there is an agreement between the manufacturer and the dealer to protect their margins. Costco is an authorized dealer for many DVRs, but I wouldn't want to CALL THEM for support. nationalsecuritytech.com for example is a low profile distributor for Dahua and considered "Unauthorized" but has firmware, software, MODS and can create custom software. They have done several items for us and we are very happy. You buy from them and they support it, period. Not to mention they like to experiment with new ideas. The biggest thing I have to say about them is they do NOT try selling you a specific brand or product, they sell based upon what is best for your application.. Some hesitations on companies providing firmware is the liability if you brick your DVR. Newest firmware does not mean it is the best. Windows users should know this from Microshaft updates. B&H is a seller site like Amazon. They push paper and packages while taking a percentage. Shop by price and you get that price level of support. Would you like someone calling you for constant support on something they made less than 5% on? Whoever you choose, I would recommend starting with great english speaking support as the product is mass produced & dime a dozen. And, of course if Murphy is your friend, you can't help getting the rare one that doesn't work out of the box. How it is resolved is worth more.

There is more to that equation: 1. Sensor size 1/3", 1/2", 3/4" etc 2. TVL is the horizontal tv lines of resolution 3. The lens installed for that sensor. 4. Sensor quality 5. Sensor type 4x3 or 16x9 6. Pixels vs Effective Pixels 7. CMOS vs CCD sensor 8. Lens quality. I find lenses from Japan,Korea and China, in that order, vary from spectacular to just ok. A 1/3" sensor with a 1/3" lens 3.6mm with a Sony 700tvl chip will look different than A 1/3" sensor with a 1/3" lens 3.6mm with a Sharp 700tvl TVL in CCTV in "My Opinion" is subjective. There are a few out there that might agree some 480tvl CCD cameras look better than some 700tvl CMOS cameras. Watching on a high contrast monitor also changes the quality. I have found most Asus monitors have a "dry" look while some Samsung monitors make images "pop". Hooking an analog camera directly to a tube monitor looks better than most LCD monitors. (Remember this on average system seen throughout the years, some yahoo on here is going to say they have an Asus $500 monitor and it looks awesome. That is why so many things are subjective and are VARIABLES) Beware of manufacturers claims on TVL. Look at the chipset they are using and determine if they are using Total Pixels OR Effective Pixels. An advertised 700 tvl may only be 620tvl. Some use the image screen to determine TVL while the only way to tell is with a Waveform/Vector scope. Further more. Using a 1/2" lens on a 1/3" sensor will also give you a wider view but depth changes slightly. You will find the variables for "Quality" are greater for IP cameras and present a whole new challenge.

If you send me an PM with your email address, I can give you a list. For security reasons, I won't post publicly. FYI, these also have security exploits because of the telnet access and poor security coding.

Ahhh Uncle Woo's PTZ Controller/ 1. Set Baud to 2400 2. Connect 18/2 + &- 3. Power up PTZ. Watch during bootup for baud and address ID & protocol. Does it match? By default PTZ controller are Pelco-D protocol & 2400 baud. 4. Enter 1 Cam or Cam +1 on eyboard till display shows the 1 camera 5. Can you control it?
