Hi Colin There is a posibilty the DVR is not working to start with, have you formated the drives prior to installing? are your drives working? Could be PSU is goosed on DVR so not enough juice to run HD properly Good luck with it

Sounds to me like you have a GV800/8 card only 8 channels...yes i know there is another "VGA style" socket with 9-16 on it but all 8+16 Channel GV cards had this Open the PC and look at the GV800 card, there will be a chip with a label saying 8 port or 16 port

1 cat5 and 4 baluns or 4 balun hub no problem 1 cat5 and 1 balun for 4 cameras no...

Are they Grey'd out in remote config or at the DVR? You will need to log in as admin to change settings

Where are you based Daryl?

RF Concepts are a real company based in N.Ireland and they sold geovision cards Yes there are tons of fake cards on the market but you will only know by checking the serial number on the card on the geovison website. Also the older cards came with GV650/GV800 writing on the board, its what is on the chip is what matters, there will be a sticker stating 650 or 800 and another chip beside it stating ports and S_ version Where are you based?

Im guessing expressvu is satelite? Modulator wont work with that either any Cat5 at the TV's? Cat5 - Balun will work as well failing that wireless is last option sorry cant help much not to clued up on USA TV systems

Saying you have a number of antennas i would run a RG59 to each TV then use an AV distribution amp Either use a BNC-Phono male if the TV has Yellow Phono AV input or a Scart to Phono http://www.ebay.com/itm/cctv-1-to-4ch-Video-Distributor-amplifier-with-Audio-/280438522342?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item414b7041e6 Just an example above

Buy a seperate IR illuminator and forget fitting IR into the Dome, You'll end up with Spiders webbing all over it to start never worry about the IR bounceback you'll end up trying to get rid of Hook the illuminator up on a test lead and try different spots to get the desired cover you need without IR Glare etc

Yep As many freebies as possible have some meeting set up and after that have a look at some new products

Hi Tom Already tried that have lowered second Stream on CIF @ 5 FPS I've been watching it last hour or so 6 cameras system, i've been watching it steady the last hour or so, there are 3 cameras that would have consistant movement on them but sometimes 2 are freezing up and the rest are showing e.g 41Kps 36Kps 101Kps but there is no one there as the places are closed up

Anyone tried this DVR? quality on playback @ D1 is pretty good some useful touches like the video matrix set up for spot out not so impressed with the remote view, have tried a few settings and adjustments but the DVR seems to decide to have 2 or 3 cameras operating and 3 or 4 not....pretty weird Anyone shed any light on it? Not the connection on site as its fine Seems to be DVR issue somewhere very inconsistant

Post a picture of the DVR

Either take a cable from the router to the DVR or if thats not handy use these - http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&q=powerline+adapters&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=705&wrapid=tlif133466175449610&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=6953290694851366468&sa=X&ei=f1KNT4GdHMLOhAeeqcyFCw&ved=0CHcQ8wIwAA# Plugs into mains and router downstairs and mains and DVR upstairs 2 cameras? i will be honest your not going to get much of a system in 2 cameras no matter how small a house it is, people tend to fit a camera with wide angle front and one back and think its job done but its not, you havnt much hope of identifiying anyone or thing unless its standing 1 foot from those cameras,theyre fine for general observation Look at you property again and i'd say 4 minimum Where are you located?

BNC from you DVR to Scart or Phono yellow input and it will work 100% on the AV

Its a total pain, been having same problems last few weeks with IE9 Wind his back to IE8 is only short term solution and use the upgrade blocking script MS have on their website seems to work and stop WIN7 doing the update again to IE9

Why not 16 four-channel DVRs then? Then you only stand to lose four channels at a time. Very professional reply for someone trying to offer some sensible advice ....and no need for a "spare" DVR to be purchased if 16ch were used as there are 3 on site already, im sure if not at least 1 or 2 of these could be kept as backups

You need an IR transmitter at each TV location Cat5 to IR adaptors are available How far away is the DVR from the TV's?

Test it at the DVR with a screen and see if you have the issue still there RG59 would be better option to take the DVR feed to the Modulator Also what brand Modulator are you using? I havent used an IR Camera in over 5 years nor would i, they claim X distance which never comes close add to that the Spider attraction it turns into a nature watch program at night Good quality camera with IR cut filter and a light structure wether its serperate IR or Halogen

I would not be going for 32 CH DVR Leaves you in diffs if a DVR decides to die on you 16CH x 4 DVR's What make/model of current DVR do you have?

What sort of DVR's are in rack mounts already? Whats wrong with them? Whats your deal with the Business? do you work for them?
