Doh! Just cut through camera cable accidently
chris63220 replied to noco's topic in General Digital Discussion
In short, this can be spiced yes. I would suggest replacing the entire cable though. The other option is, is to solder it back togeteher. From memory, the plug and play cables are quite cheap. -
No alert for Push notification for UNIVIEW NVR
chris63220 replied to smokingjoe's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
I has this issue at a clients property. When you go into your settings on the iPhone - Go into EZ View, and double check that "Allow Notifications" are turned on. Next, ensure that "lock screen, notification centre and banners are all pressed". Also enable sounds and badges. Now, on the NVR, go into Alarm and check the settings in there. Do you get the notifications from the other cameras? -
UNV Camera dropping out regularly
chris63220 replied to PeterA's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Sounds to be like the internet connection to the DVR/NVR is dropping out. The tech support from Uniview are fantastic - If it something that bothers you, maybe give them a call and see what they suggest. -

WIFI Enabled Action Camera

It'll need to be within a few meters. They're good if you're pointing your cameras and don't have an external monitor. -
Using conduit to hide cables
chris63220 replied to chris63220's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Can't get into the roof. Hence why I was going to use conduit. -
I'm moving house shortly and am considering using conduit to hide my cables inside the home, and maybe the ones on the outside of the house too, if I have any cables showing. What sort of conduit do I use? And if it best to put the conduit up high along the top of the wall, or best to run along the ground on the skirting? Any pictures would be helpful. I haven't done this type of cabling yet, so any advise is great. Thank you, Chris.

external cameras - Lorex, Swann or Synology any advice?
chris63220 replied to GilesM's topic in General Digital Discussion
I would go with Swann cameras. I have two of their dome cameras on my home, and they are super great at night. I also have an Omniview varifocal camera - I was considering changing it to a Swann camera. That gives an idea at what I prefer. As per the DVR, I don't know much about them, I only know about the cameras. I use a Kodicom 16ch dvr (I don't have it connected for remote view). Hopefully this helps, Chris. -
As long as it has the same connections on the end of the camera it'd work. Ie, if your current Swann cameras use the BNC connections, then find a dome camera with BNC connections on it .

Go to Google and look up something along the lines of, 'security camera hidden in light' or something like that. It may come up, but if not at least you'll get to see some cool looking cameras haha.

How to mount a cctv camera in a home stairwell. (READ)
chris63220 posted a topic in Installation Help and Accessories
So I'm moving home and the place has indoor stairs. I'm wanting to mount one of my bullet cameras in there - The only problem is, I would like to cover people walking from floor 1 - 2 and from floor 2 - 1 (see picture for what he stairs look like) My cable is just the siamese cable that comes with the eBay systems (don't judge, it's been working great for the past 3 years) Any help would be good -

chris63220 replied to chris63220's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
I should mention this is my own home - Not worried about vandalism.. I'm just going to mount the camera then run the cable so it's exposed. I can't drill huge holes because we rent. Just after a rough idea of where would be an okay place to put it. -
How to mount a bullet camera into an outdoor housing
chris63220 posted a topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Is there a way I can mount a camera with night vision into these outdoor housings? I'm considering buying them if I can mount my cameras into them. Please let me know . Thanks so much! I've attached a picture of the brackets / housings.. The camera I want mounted inside is a Zmodo one. -

chris63220 replied to chris63220's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
Yes, I do like the look - The reason I don't use that camera is because I'm not real sure about the power part of it.. It has the two screw terminals on the back where the power goes - I'll upload some pictures tomorrow. -
Please help me - not enough time to do proper research
chris63220 replied to Very Worried's topic in Security Cameras
Why? I bought my 8ch system off eBay an guess what - It's been going strong for the last 2+ years.. Cameras are working like they are brand new. -
How to mount a bullet camera into an outdoor housing
chris63220 replied to chris63220's topic in Installation Help and Accessories
It's not really vandalism I'm worried about. I have a Samsung brick / box camera I might try an put in it.. How can I get it to normal 12v like I would plug a normal camera in? If you get my drift.. -
This is a long shot, but maybe it's the camera.. To me that 'spot' looks like a camera with a bracket - It could be reflecting off something to make a slight shadow. Try moving the camera to the right a little to face more on the path not really the wall. If this doesn't work, let me know .

chris63220 replied to chris63220's topic in Digital Video Recorders
Yes, it was formatted. -
It's an old swann camera. Metal one, not like the new ones.
