Hope you are well Welcome back!

Some of our customers used their lofts, to keep their NVR/DVR due to not being easy to access

How you power these cameras? Can you power cycle them?

Did you try http://YOUR_IP/data/WebClient.exe ?

iVMS is FREE

Welcome to CCTV Forum!

Perhaps you did not set "recording continuously" somewhere?

CCTV forum has some limitations. Once you have over 20 posts or so the limitations should be removed.

Another guy bought this very expensive kit and tried to configure it last month viewtopic.php?f=19&t=46811 Try PM StoreClerk and hopefully he can help you?

Never used WatchDog, but Hikvision does amazing quality

1. You can put SD card to Hikvision cameras too 2. You can see all your cameras simultaneously in Hikvision iVMS on Laptop, PC, iPhone/iPad, Android devices etc

as Tom said, stay with IP cameras

Welcome to CCTV forum What country are you from? US, UK etc?

btw, Hikvision NVR DS-7104N-SN starts from $75

You did not mention your budget Can get some cheapest IP cam from aliexpress http://www.aliexpress.com/item/SAVE-XMEYE-IP-CAMERA-1-3MP-IR-CUT-960P-1280X960-Network-camera-Indoor-installation-Hikvision-Dome/32417787247.html Personally would recommend more expensive Hikvision IP cam (e.g. http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/151491443713) You'll not need any additional hardware, just install software on Android phone, iPhone or any cheap tablet and your older man can watch it anytime.

Did you try freedns.afraid.org ?

Have not seen better quality than Hikvision, plus definitely cheaper

lortech, if you want to have Free PBX on Ubuntu, I would recommend to have a look at freeswitch https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Quick_Start I would also recommend FusionPBX to configure Freeswitch settings via WEB http://wiki.fusionpbx.com/index.php?title=Installation Good luck

Good idea to buy it from China (e.g. aliexpress or nasasafe who posted just above) as you could save a lot! Simply confirm your cameras will come with English firmware. And no worries about warranty as if cameras work on arrival, you should not have any issue in the future. In case you get some problems, aliexpress is always on the buyer side.

Why some companies don't publish online prices for their product? How much is for 8 cameras solution please?

Thank you Finally got Blackvue and extremely happy with spec and quality, but not really budget option

You could add JBOD (just a bunch of disks) via external MiniSAS or some kind of USB NAS or drives. What is your current PC based CCTV spec please?
