Oh yeah... if you do have to drill a hole for a wired camera, get one that lists POE (Power Over Ethernet) and you will only need to run one cable. POE is usually a camera and a small power supply. The power supply sits between camera and the router. The power supply plugs into the AC socket and a n...

hmmm... your links to cameras drives another point home... Looking that first one: http://www.amazon.com/Lorex-LW2701AC1-Interference-Free-Accessory-Surveillance/dp/B0035JL41M/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t I am not certain if it is a WiFi wireless camera or a proprietary type of wireless. The term "wirel...

I have one camera that faces an area covered by a motion activated flood light (twin bulb). When the light turns on the camera takes a second or two to adjust to the extreme brightness and another 3 or 4 seconds to finish/settle the adjustment. Caught a neighbor one night chasing his cat and his rea...

I don't have any specific camera recommentations, but agreee with most of what St. Johnny has written about the problems you are faced with. The idea of wireless has a lot of attraction, until you realise that the cameras need power and that usually means wires to get enough to run the cameras. Batt...

I left the system to run for a few minutes, waiving my hands in front of the cameras to cause some motion to be detected. I did not switch the program to the Review mode, such...

Your term, "just restart PC" has me thinking that you (or Windows) is not giving the subprocesses of VDV enough time to save all the information into the databases and get the directories updated to record the locations of the files. My understanding of the way Windows is supposed to work ...

This is a part of the Rule definition. One way to get to a rule is to click small downward pointing arrow to the right of the default rule that appears under the main video view ("Monitor View"). Then either select "Edit Rule" or "New Rule" (from the resulting drop down...

With DVD you can view video that is "between" detected motion video if you get to it before it gets deleted (usually 2 days). Select a single camera in the camera list and then select the video that starts the motion detection sequence. After that video ends, just click the "Play"...

I have been unable to get one USB connected camera to show on two program windows, but my one WEB CAM is capable of being accessed my two programs. I can connect to it via VDV and Internet Explorer simultaneously. That camera also has servos that allow the camera to tilt and pan and I can use the IE...
