Thank you again Tomcctv, for "Going the Extra Mile" to help people out on these forums. It is really appreciated. I am just about to place my order for QVIS kit so will update in a few weeks when all installed and working. John

Thanks a bunch TomCCTV, thats really helpful. From your picture it looks like the "Male" part of the connector can slip over a terminated RJ45 plug and then clamps down on the cable jacket making a water tight seal, or am I wrong and the plug has to be crimped on after the cover? Does the "Male" half of the plug also come with the camera or do you have to buy these separately or get them on pre-made cables? John

Thank you so much TomCCTV I am quite happy terminating cat 5 cable in fact I do it all the time with my current job. However I believe on some cameras the connection to the camera has a special screw together two part waterproof connector http://topcctvcameras.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/sannce-cctv-1080p-poe-camera-cable.jpg or is the rj45 socket on QVIS within the camera body? Can you buy these waterproof connectors separately? Thanks for the tip on Modulators. All my TVs are actually 1080p so it should be OK. My problem with an Apple TV (which I have an old one I could use) is that I have run out of HDMI inputs on the TV. I was looking at creating a private channel on Roku (which all the TVs have) but that seems to be overkill. I also understand no mouse control although I might be able to do this with a long USB cable from the NVR and a wireless mouse. However my long term plan was to have a monitor in the kitchen that doubles as a electronic picture frame that switches to the CCTV view when a camera is tripped into recording. I am not sure if this is feasible or how complicated this is but will experiment. Again thanks for responding ps are QVIS the same make as ONY-X?

OK so I have decided to go with a Qvis Viper system with two vari-focal Qvis MBULLETVIP-5-VW bullets to cover the garden and three Qvis EYEVIP-5-FW 2.8mm Turrent cameras for the other areas. Just few additional questions;- 1) What type of connections do these Qvis cameras have? Is it a single RJ45 female connector within a waterproof coupling, or both the RJ45 AND a separate 5mm female jack for 12v supply. I am using POE so any other cable is redundant and gets in the way. 2) Has anyone had success using an HDMI to RF Modulator to send the NVR signal to TVs around the house. As analogue TV is now switched off I was hoping to use one of the many free analogue channels as all my TVs are old enough to have both analogue and digital tuners? 3) Can you buy Cat5e leads of various lengths separately with the same waterproof connector as the QVIS camera. The local distributor wants to supply and install rather than just supply and dosn't include cables in the price? 4) When I search for Qvis cameras ONY-X also comes up. Are they made by the same company? I believe QVIS is A-Data Many thanks

Thanks 51cent. Sorry but could you expand the problem with spiders? Do you mean they activate the cameras by their movement or obstruct the view by building webs? As regards turret cameras how do you mount these on a vertical surface and are they still IP67 weatherproof. There are no roof overhangs on my gable walls. Finally on the main drive I need a camera mounted side by side facing each way. Are there turrets that can cover 180 degrees or rotate to either direction or even have two cameras in one housing? I am new to the practicalities of CCTV camera placement although with my background understand the networking aspects. Many thanks

Thanks I am looking at new IP POE install. I can't find out much about QVIS hardware and in particular their NVR. As per my other post http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=56301 I want an 8 channel NVR with 6 cameras to start with. Can QVIS handle recording 8 channels from 5Mb Cameras at the same time? Should I use QVIS 5Mb Bullet cameras or use another manufacturers cameras with the QVIS NVR? Also is there a UK reseller or do I have to purchase direct from QVIS? Many thanks

Hope you don't mind me asking but what do you think of the Qvis kit and what cameras are you using. I am trying to decide on a make and configuration for my home. Did you buy direct from QVIS as I can't seem to find any resellers online Many thanks

Not sure if this is a Ad BOT or just a product plug but although interesting does not address my questions

I am reasonably new to CCTV although as part of my work I have set up remote access to a number of systems. I would really appreciate some advice on a new installation. I have already decided on certain elements/functionality: 1) I want an IP based system for flexibility and compatibility 2) Power over ethernet to avoid having to run additional power to the camera 3) The system has to be compatible with other systems ONVIF?? 4) Should use H.264+ or MP4 compression 5) Preferably have DDNS functionality as I don't have a fixed IP address 6) Should ideally have a web server for both administration and viewing camera via web browser 7) ideally should not rely on a Flash Plug in and therefore only work with internet explorer. 8 ) Have a smart phone app for remote monitoring. 9) Have a short focus camera for the front door (possibly wireless) 10) Have a long distance/wide angle camera for the back garden that nearly 100m long I have quite a large single storey bungalow and large garden that I want to monitor with all camera external. The recorder will sit in my roof along with my existing 24 port Gigabit Ethernet switch switch hence the need to monitor and administer via a web browser or PC Application. So far I have looked at ANNKE, SANNCE, HIKVISION and ZMODO systems, however I have heard other board contributors mention QVIS especially Viper range. There are pros and cons to each of the former systems with criticism over the NVR ability to record 8 channels at once or very poor Smartphone Apps or reliance on Flash plugins. Initially I believe I need 6 cameras with the possibility to extend so an 8 channel recorder is required. Most cameras will be mounted on gable ends of various parts of the roof (There are 6 gable ends due to layout of bungalow and design of roof). I assume therefore that Bullet cameras will be best and should ideally be IP 67 weather proof. One of the cameras needs to cover the front door so I can see who is at the door. Due to the porch layout it may be difficult getting an ethernet cable to the camera however there is power. This may therefore have to be a wireless camera possibly of a different make or design. It will also be very close to the subject so needs to have a fairly short focal length. Can anyone suggest a kit or an NVR and separate cameras that would fit with my requirements above. Many thanks
