Don Stephens 0 Posted January 22, 2015 Obviously this person is concerned and ridiculing them does no good! Lets be good forum neighbors. You need to read this the whole way through. There were several people who stepped forward and laid everything out on the table for the OP. Choosing to completely ignore all of their advice is what got us here. By the way, this thread escalated pretty quickly...I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boogieman 1 Posted January 22, 2015 @abdel01. I worry for you, I'm not sure you want to come over to my place and risk being called paranoid too. Because that's what's going to happen when you come over to my place and actually witness live the things that I'm trying to explain and you trying to explain it to others. I don't know if you want to be in my shoes... Mind you, I don't think this neighbor has any extra powers, or any extra knowledge, or anything of such. I just think there is something probably very simple that they are doing that we haven't warped our fingers around. But I'm confident we'll get there. I'm working on it. After all, it was my quest to find answers that brought me here, isn't it? No, as stated before...what you are suggesting is simply impossible...it cannot be done...there is NO way they are controlling your DVR if its disconnected from the network...You will not find any answers other than your device is defective, improperly setup or you are hallucinating the entire scenario....

tomcctv 190 Posted January 22, 2015 Like I said before it will be much better if you leave your Neighbours out of trying to solve your problem. You have been asked some basic questions but not answered any. It's your system Is your camera near anything outdoors Are you going stright to your dvr and viewing your footage as soon as you have a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unix1992 0 Posted January 22, 2015 If you don't trust your DVR or cameras, go to your installer and ask them to replace the faulty equipment. Furthermore, use your mobile phone to capture your 'horrible' neighbours. Only when your neighbour physical touches you to grab the phone, the video can be removed. If you don't trust modern technology, use an old fashioned video recorder.... This camera in the attachment would be intimidating for your neighbour, meaning that you are serious about it. But wait, there is more to tell Instead of being bad neighbours to each other (making each other life so miserably as hell) and spend another 2000 dollar for a 'useless' cctv system or for buying the video recorder, do something unexpected. Give your neighbour everyday a flower. Not just flowers, but white flowers since 'White color itself is a symbol of peace and purity' (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/meaning-of-the-color-of-flowers.html) or be multicolored. Succes is guaranteed, make love not war " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> " title="Applause" /> . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) @tomcctv, The cameras are outdoors The DVR is on continuous recording We had previously viewed an incident right after we saw it happen and when we realized that it was being erased, We resorted to recording with our phones or iPad.

Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks unix1992! Peace always! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tomcctv 190 Posted January 23, 2015 Then it was not being erased......... You need your footage to be filed by your dvr Swann puts footage into files of 20 mins long. Each file then is given time date If you view footage before that footage is filed it will not be filed. Plus some swann and avtech when you go into footage the dvr will stop recording. Ok your cameras are outside ...... Are they anywere near you hvac outlet or any other outlet with heat ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Hey Tomcctv! The heat outlet is located about 30 ft. From the DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) There're 4 cameras. 2 are located approximately 75ft from the outlet, 1 about 50ft and the other about 20-25ft. Edited January 24, 2015 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stephens 0 Posted January 23, 2015 The installer also did a trouble shoot, and told us the problem was not due to installation. Well I guess if the installer says it isn't his fault, it must be true... For someone so convinced that people are out to get you, you took their word for it rather well. As a side note, I would say over 80% of the people I talk to that say they're installers have no business being around security cameras...or even around electricity in some cases. BTW, how are we looking with getting those screen shots? Or would you like to continue this guessing game until the end of time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry guys, I'm trying to post some images from the cameras, and I'm getting this message: The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 500 KiB. Still working on it. Edited January 23, 2015 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stephens 0 Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) There are no images posted. Edit: Sorry, didn't see your post above. Edited January 23, 2015 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Thank you for posting the pictures, Goodolick! The picture at the top displays the 4 cameras with camera 1 at the at the top left. as you can see, it shows a gray blank with an oval shape in the middle. This has been happening for the past 3 weeks precisely from hours of 0700 to 1600. with the exception of the day that I explained previously on one of my earlier postings about the day 10/1/2015, at about 1130, when my husband and I had taken the ladder out to trouble shoot the camera, and the neighbors' son- in- law hurriedly dashed into his truck which he habitually packed in front of our home and drove away and since the behavior was quite bizaar we thought it was relating to the camera, and when we went back in to view the screen, the images were regained without us even haven to troubleshoot the camera as we had gone out to do. Unfortunately, he continues to park in that area and we have continued to have that interruption daily. Picture two features the 4 cameras with camera 1 at top left, and what its images would look like, when it is not interrupted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stephens 0 Posted January 23, 2015 I'm just going to put this out there. If someone was pointing a laser at your cameras, which would look completely different from this, you'd at least be able to go back and watch him as he sets this thing up every day. Or is that the portion of the video you think someone is deleting? The only reason I don't think it's the cable is because this is only happening between certain hours of the day. Those hours are what lead me to believe that the IR board just wasn't turning off. It could still be that but ever since I suggested it (days ago) the OP has never verified whether or not they checked for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi, Don Stephens! The IR is not on it only comes on at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loria 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Something else, when the cameras were installed, we noticed that the Lenses were located downwards and at the centers at the positions of 6pm. But Camera 1's lense has altered eversince it has been interrupted, we noticed that the Lens was moved up to the 12PM position. That is a change that required a physical adjustment and that was not made by either my husband or myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don Stephens 0 Posted January 23, 2015 Hi, Don Stephens! The IR is not on it only comes on at night. I want to know who your installer is. If he claims there's nothing wrong with the equipment, then what reason is he offering up for what's going on before he just jumps back in his truck and drives away? Why isn't he the one dealing with troubleshooting this for you? You don't really have any choice here. You either catch these people in the act and file a complaint once you've done so, or submit to the possibility that people don't hate you as much as you think. If you're willing to accept the fault is in the equipment or installation, then you're going to need to take the camera down and bench test it indoors until you can figure out what the heck is going on. You can't solve a problem without knowing what the problem is. Your installer, or whoever provided you the equipment, should be doing all of this troubleshooting for you. They shouldn't have forced you to reach out to complete strangers in order to beg for a solution to a problem that you haven't even been able to positively identify yet. You also need to spell out for us exactly what equipment you have so we can make more accurate suggestions. We still don't even know what type of system you have, let alone specs on your cameras.
