Hi Is there anyway to convert a BNC Camera to work via IP as well. Thanks for any advice

Hi From what i've read it seems that ip cameras have a connection to an RJ45, If this is the case, if i was to use a network cable and have the RJ45 connected at one end, and on the other connect a CCTV Balun with a BNC on would I then be able to connect an ip camera to a DVR (on a pc) and if thats possible would I still be able to use the IP functionality of the camera? Thanks for your help.

Hi If I use IP cameras is it possible to record motion to a hard drive, do you get all the options of setting sensitivity etc. thanks for any advice

with my luck the internet will go down when i need it to be recording So do IP cameras connect to a network connection (RJ45) and to the router? Does this also provide power for the camera? Thanks for any advice, bit new to all this

do these cameras work purely over an Internet connection. What if my connection was to go down? Does that mean nothing will be recorded.

Hi New UK user, found this place on google, seems to have a wealth of knowledge here, Quiet new to CCTV but am thinking of getting into it more as several friends seem to come to me for advice about it.

for the Dvr was planning on using be software that comes with it. For media center was going to use mcontrol of mcenetcam but they both only allow ip cameras. Is there any other software that would benefit me. Is the standard Dvr software ok to use?

Can anyone advise me on the following. I'm going to install a PCI DVR card in a computer, A 4 channel card would be fine. The question I have is that I want the cameras to be accessed by cable as well as IP. I am planning to use cat 5 with cctv baluns. the reason been is I want all the DVR functionality however I also want to be able to access the cameras from windows media center. The plugin mcenetcam allows you to view cctv cameras but it must be done via ip. Can the dvr software assign ip's to individual cameras so I can then access them in media center. Any advice appreciated. thanks

thanks for the advice, what is the cheapest way to do this, its a 16 camera system and need to keep the cost as low as possible, but do need it connected to analogue system as well as ip. thanks

Hi all Hope you can help. I've just installed a kodicom 4400 card that was purchased off ebay, it came with drivers for kodicom center 4.11 and kodicom site 4.11. I've installed both software and can load the center, however i dont get any sort of display from the cameras, i believe i need to install the site program so I can "assign" all the cameras. I installed the site program however it just hangs when loading. The computer is an Intel core 2 duo 2.1Ghz, 2Gb Ram, 4Tb Hard drives, Nvidia 7600GT pci-e graphics card. It meets the minimum spec for the card however it hangs, The computer is a fresh install of windows xp media center. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
