Told you your hardcore Apprentice if your working with someone who knows how As an expert blagger I don't take on sites which I don't know about , and don't really know what he's on about Just assuming what I have learnt from the men here , it's an IP system and there using rtsp or something to view all the cams in one room or onvif or another NVR to register the cams over a link Or as you say ivms on pc? Typical I didn't read your thread properly you already said all that, who needs manuals lol

Tried......

Are they ip cameras? Don't worry about petrolbomb he's just hardcore bloke

Most have hard drives or you purchase separate Not sure about server connection, some nvrs have external storage connections etc don't think this version does unless hik has a way for you to do it which wouldn't surprise me they do all sorts But that's over the top for what you want really

You ok yeah?

Yes that's one way of doing it , but if your sticking up three or four cameras get an 8way NVR less hassle in future

So pressing where cable goes onto connector restores power , so maybe dry joint cracked joint or get a new keypad

You could get an NVR with two network ports stick cameras on one side and internal.network on other , then you can set the app bandwidth etc That's what I do at home , kids on mission with laptops hogging the bandwidth lol

IP if you can do it

What alarm is it anyway ? Model?

Why not let him supply the door contact and pay his price ,instead of trying to supply your own Many walk once customer wants to supply equipment

Just installed? Ask the engineer who put it in to hand code over , at same time you sign up to say all warranty void and he no longer is responsible for system etc I suppose he wants more than your willing to pay to fit a door sensor?

Ah ok doh! Far from it tho lol

Yes we came to this country , to learn how to be real alarm men , but they talk to us as if we don't know how to twist leaves together and make the circuit, maybe I find forum in Wales they have different rules there .... (Please read in African accent )

Good advice , start with basics of port forwarding first And cover your web cams incase the mods get your IP and want to take a look

You you Brexit person

Yello

You need to port forward on the router do you know how to do this ? In basic terms Access router go to firewall or port redirection or whatever it is called on your router Port forward the http port and the rtsp port to the ip of your recorder , in Samsung if it shows you one number then that is the one your forward if it is a range like 554-558 , then 558 is the one you would use to connect to it in the app But a range of 554-558 is also forwarded to the DVR if needed Or something like that What router you got

You see, your not just a dodgy looking website after all

Geezer this is budget install , to an extent

No time to waste just get better gear with varifocal lenses so you can adjust as needed

Basically supplier is on crack

Purple drive is good though for stuff

That's "proper" Chinese gear lol

Complete kit might not include cables to that distance unless your getting premade cables of a long length and have worked that one out Are they all varifocal cameras ? Otherwise fixed lens won't give you a close up of the car , although 5mp on zoom is quite good evening when playing back
