RORO

Hi Guys its been a while since I have posted something been busy, anyway I have installed an averdigi 1304net worked fine for a while but after a month the network card has failed anyone have any similar problems? Ok so I've got a replacement and I now need to re-set the network configuration i have had. I know it took me ages to set it up before and I cant remember what I did to get it working so I just want to skip all that and bang it in. The router is set up to port forward all traffic but I forget what to do the on the DVR side

Thanks for the info but I reckon those laws don't apply where i am from. i hope to use it to listen in on my cattle calving!! Can you give me some example products that I can use? B.T.W living in Ireland

hi guys, recently bought an AVerDiGi EB1304 NET. got it working fine over the web was actually suprised by the quality. Now I'm looking to install a microphone but from reading the dvr manual an external psu is required!! Has anyone installed a mic? can anyone recommend a product? and what is the quality like?

man that is exactly what I'm looking for cheers. Have you used this device is it hard configure?

Anyone out there know of a simple relay/switch/controller that can be used to turn on lights etc remotely over the web/remotely? having a look at phidgets but just seem to be way too complicated. (well at this stage they do)

Hi guys Im looking at the Avermedia 1304net dvr I'm just using it for remote monitoring not recording. There is a control relay on the dvr, the question is can I remotely operate this relay (I'm thinking about installing some cheap cameras and remotely turning on off lights as I need to) by remotely clicking a button? If not can someone suggest an alernative dvr that will allow me to operate a relay for this? At a similar price range?

Thanks guys thats great help, like the option of using the cheaper analog cameras and the dvr but taught the IP cams would cut that all out, thus cutting costs. but I do get your point about using the bullets. ok so I've had a look at the farm and the house is as the farmer said 300meters away. The house has got just one pc and the BB connection is going directly into her pc. hence no wireless router. Ok i now need two wireless router's one each end and two larger external antennas? any recommendations? Also whats an approx cost of the Avermedia 1304? Sorry for the stupid questions guys

Cheers for help, that has cleared a few thing up. However maybe one of my questions wasn't clear. Q how can i remotely connect into the router and in turn into the cameras if i don't have a static Ip? I have been reading up on this but there is just a wealth of stuff out there. I presume i'll be asked to input an ip adress in the software at my remote site but how can i do this if the ip keeps changing??

Hi guys new to the whole Ip cctv thing but have been working in security for the last 3 years primiarly with honeywells max plarform. Firstly I have a customer who wants to remotely monitor his Cattle (it's calving season). He is gona connect into a neighbours router approx 300meters away form his barn. I was looking at installing two AXIS 221 cameras and powering them up locally. Q1. Will I be able to use cat5e or cat6 across 300Meters will this distance be an issue? Fibre isn't really a runner due to costs. Q2. Do I or Don't need a static IP ( have looked up various sites that says i don't but my supplier says I do) If I have a dynamic ip will it work regardless of it being public/private? Q3. The AXIS 221 supports Dynamic DNS but does my router need to support DDNS as well? If so could ye guys recommend a router. Thanks for the help in advance guys!
