    My NVR is down to three cmeras

    For some reason, I just can not get the solder to go up the wick. I did as you said; put flux on the tip, placed the wick on top and put the iron on the wick. But the solder would not melt. I set my iron from 400F to 750F, but the flux would melt and smoke but the solder never melted. I've held...

    My NVR is down to three cmeras

    Thanks for the tip. I will open up the PS tonight and see what I can find. I don't have a scope, but then I don't know what that is, LOL. I have a multimeter so I will try that. Thank you for the heads up. I think I have a roll of soldering wick in my kit. I'll try that first. I remember I use...

    My NVR is down to three cmeras

    Thanks, everyone. I feel confident they are indeed the reason for my problems. I ordered some replacements and a solder sucker. They should be here tomorrow. I'll replace them and will use the original power supply to see if the power supply really is the cause of these capacitor failures. The...

    My NVR is down to three cmeras

    A couple of months ago one of the cameras in my LTS 8932-16p lost its video feed. This NVR has 16 POE built in and I have 16 cameras connected to them. In live view the affected camera showed "VIDEO LOSS" and there were no recordings from that cam. Then a few days later another one went down...

    I Inadvertently formatted my NVR, can I restore or recover past videos?

    Thank you to all who replied. Luckily, I don't have anything that important to warrant the time spend to get the data back. Just some dog walkers who didn't pick up after themselves and some strange dude stopped in front of my driveway and knocked on my door. I'm just p****d that the...

    I Inadvertently formatted my NVR, can I restore or recover past videos?

    Hi SyconsciousAu, Can you elaborate on how to do this? Is it through a professional service or something I can do it my self? I have 5T of space and, before the format, I think I was able to go back at least 2 years. Would it suffice to say that any new videos would override old files? Or will...

    I Inadvertently formatted my NVR, can I restore or recover past videos?

    Hi mat200, thanks for the reply. Luckily the police request was not crucial. My neighbors also have cameras and I think they were adequate enough for them to do the investigation. Whoever designed the features of this LTS NVR should have their heads smacked. I mean, why would they put a FORMAT...

    I Inadvertently formatted my NVR, can I restore or recover past videos?

    I have an LTS LTN8916-P16 NVR with (2) 2.5T hard drives hooked up to 16 ip cameras. My local police ask if I can provide videos of suspicious activities on my street. When I found the video, I wanted to export it via a USB to a thumbdrive. I selected a video in the "export" menu and click the...

    Advice needed asap hikivision ds-2cd3345-i 4mp turret?

    I'm pretty sure they will be compatible if they support ONVIF. Where did you get the NVR? I don't know if Chinese version NVR will be compatible though. Milk is off on weekends so if you can wait for him til Monday, he will let you know for certain.

    Alarm Output on Hikvision NVR... How to connect to siren/light???

    I was thinking of doing the same with my system when I have it up and running within the next couple of weeks. Thanks @Hikv for sharing your result and @alastairstevenson for your inputs.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    You are right. I didn't notice they had the new 76** in 4K. When I was buying my LTS 8932 the cross reference model was the 7732. The other difference between the 76 and 77 model is the incoming bandwidth, 160Mbps vs 256Mbps. All these models #'s and differences is enough to give me gray hair.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    The LTS LTN89** is their 4K model. Hikvision's 4K model is the 77** series. I think the model you're looking for that matches LTN8916-P16 is DS-7716NI-I4/16 http://overseas.hikvision.com/en/Products_accessries_214_i5730.html EDIT: I think their 4K model only comes in 1.5U

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    Good point. I hadn't think about the functionality issues of mounting it vertically. I did have to flip the camera module on my analog dome to get it to work vertically. I would imagine with pan and tilt it'll won't be that easy.

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    So Dahua's cameras have the same firmware doesn't matter if I buy them from a US authorized sellers or from any seller on Ali?

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    Thanks for the photo. However, yours is installed on the ceiling. I will have mine install on the wall at about 7' high so it will be at the edge of most people's FOV vision when they are standing at the door. Do you have any ambient light at the door with the cam that you said was useless at...

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    I think this cam is the same as the one I linked in my first post. It's over $100 less though.

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    Thanks digger but that camera is still going to make my guests feel like they're being watch. I think I found something on Aliexpress with a plastic dome and it's from Hikvision for around $150 so hopefully it'll be plug n play for my NVR.

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    IR is not a problem for me as I have enough ambient light at my front door and I also have another camera with matrix IR pointing in the same general direction. Will Onvif Profile S works on NVR that support Onvif 2.4?

    Opinion or experience on this compact dome PTZ for my front door.

    I am searching for a PTZ for the front door of my house but I don't like the looks of hanging bullet or speed dome types. They have this 'big brother' look that says I'm watching you. I'm replacing a fixed dome on the wall and I like the look that is a little inconspicuous. Anyways, this is the...

    RJ-45 connecter broke- need color coding.

    If you don't have a meter or continuity tester you can devise a small bulb, something like a flashlight bulb, and hook it to a battery, essentially like a continuity tester. Tape a wire to the (+) of a small battery and the other end of the wire to the bottom of the bulb. Then tape another wire...

    HELP!!!!!- POE RJ 45 connecter broke on camera need wiring code

    Do you have a volt/amp meter? Set it to ohm with audible so that when touching the probes together will make beeping sound. Strip the ends of the wires on the broken jack and test which wire is connected to the metal pins in the jack. Buy a Keystone Jack from Home Depot and connect the wires...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    They have 9 contact locations on their website http://www.ltsecurityinc.com/contact but I don't see any headquarters there. There is a 'chat with us' pop box so maybe you can try asking them how to file a bug report.

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Not yet. I'm getting it next week. I raised my concern about the issue and that is what I was told. The seller said it's a software issue so hopefully they'll fix that (he doesn't know if there is an update yet). Doesn't make sense that the old model can do this and the new one can't. If...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    I was told that there is a work around to get intrusion photo attachments to work, but it involves an external POE switch. It won't work with internal poe. :sad2: Dunno why they would do that but hopefully there will be an update to fix that. Connect the camera to the poe switch, port forward...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    Did you get your NVR from Milk and have you contact him yet? I'm getting mine from him so I hope he has an answer. I hope it's just a glitch or needs firmware. I just hate it when newer models come and they delete features that were available and useful on older models. Yes, please keep let us...

    LTS LTN8916-P16 4K NVR unboxing, first impressions

    @horseflesh and @hook3m, I'm getting the LTN8932-P16 next week but see you guys are having some issues with getting photo attachments to work. I am wondering if any of you fix that yet and if you guys have any other issues and don't mind sharing them on this thread, please do so. I'd really...

    Lorex package from costco

    As long as you stick to the same manufacturer as the NVR, all the cameras should work and if you don't over tax the NVR or an older model NVR for the newer higher MP cam. Also, try to stick to US models unless you know what you're doing with updating/flashing software.

    Lorex package from costco

    I was like you about a month ago, looking to get an all-in-one system at Costco or Amazon. Costco is very good with these packages and if don't want any changes with what they come with then it's good. However, if you want to 'tweak' your setup with different cameras such as MP and lens sizes...

    Need a IP cam for my garage. Any recommendation?

    I am new here too and have done some research for about a month so I'll give you my 2 cent. If you pointing the camera towards a bright back light from a darker area, and garage is known for that, make sure you get one with WDR(wide dynamic range).

    Looking to get GW Security system from Newegg

    Great post @zero-degrees. Thanks for sharing those photos. I did a lot of reading, from your other posts and threads, and all I can say was I feel like I was back in school. Most of the technical stuff just blew past me but I am getting the big picture of how IP works, no pun intended. Very...
