sir rory which system do you recommend?

thanks sir rory.

so for the cpu based , we need to be updated regarding the motherboards . and be aware if it is going to be phased out by the manufacturer

sir martini. you can always connect the dvr to your internet. you will only use the bandwidth only when you are viewing it. what do you mean by shared ip address?

thanks for sharing the links. i find it helpful. sir if we used hard disk for storage will there be a problem? do i need to use special hard disk for mobile dvr? i plan to offer the bus company. what cameras and dvr can you recommend?

i have hired 3 personnel to do the job. i will just instruct them how to do it .

right now we will provide cctv system , access control , & satellite tv. alarm systems may be the next , if we have established the three. regarding the contracts, we are trying to provide all sectors (low end user and high end user). I'm an electronics and communication engineer so i think i can cover all field. hehehe

sir surtech in case the signal cables run parallel with the power lines, how far should the separation of this two wires to avoid any interference?

thanks for the input sir scorpion and sir daryl. so we need to consider it if the dvr will be always on or on only if the vehicle is running. in practice what do most installer do ? also will there be an issue for the hard disk storage? can the hard disk withstand the vibration?

thanks for the information sir scorpion. yes i'm going into business. right now i'm not yet familiar which brand is low end or high end. I'm on the learning process now and gathering information.

what do we need to avoid when running the cables? to avoid hum bars?

thank you sir

i see. what's wrong with the AVTECH 16 CH? for the cpu based do i need to buy branded computers? or generic (assembled) computer would do the job?

you need to connect the computer and dvr on the same network if you are going to use video web server e software to configure the dvr. ADSL MODEM >> ROUTER >> DVR 1. you can connect it to a router so other computer can also use the internet. for this setup you have to set the port forwarding and DDNS setup of the router. for the dvr, you have to set the ip address to static on the network setting based on the address of your router ( 192.168.1.1) . your dvr ip should be (192.168.1.X) X is any number from 1 to 254 that is not yet used. also input the address of the gateway which is the ip address of the router. ADSL MODEM >> DVR 2. you can connect the dvr directly to the ADSL modem. but first you must use video server e and connect to the dvr. on the setting you need to set the DDNS. then you have to set the ip to DHCP ( if you modem will auto dial). if your modem is will not autodial, you can set it to PPPOE and input the username and password for the DSL. there is a search function on the video server software. after searching the device you just click the address and it will be automatically loaded on the ip address field.

what are the advantages of hardware compression card over software compression card?

for remote site viewing, will there be a difference between the two cards?

sir rory what are the services that we need to turn off on windows xp?

hahaha ok. have you tried the geovision's software for the integration of the access control and cctv?

do you know any dvr that can be integrated with the access controls? (asis access control )

thanks john.

i see. so the minimum requirement of pc for hardware compression will be lower than that of the software compression card?

ok. do you have their website?

are there any other brands aside from pelco?

hi. please set the ip of your computer to static ip. then on port forwarding input the ip address of your computer. also enable the software to pass on the firewall of your computer. please check on the status of the router what ip address your isp provides you and check on this website internetfrog.com what ip address they see you are using. if the ip are both the same then you are using public ip address . if not you are using private ip.

please try to use another cable or try this procedure. 1. connect the dvr to your laptop via LAN cable(Cross cable) 2.please check the ip of your computer. or set it to 192.168.1.100 2.run video server e 3. click the magnifying glass [/img] 4. you can edit the ip address of the dvr on this window. the default username and password is admin. if you can't search any device something is wrong with the cable. or check the dvr if it has network setting otherwise the dvr is damaged.
