January 17, 200719 yr Author comment_144799 Should be getting a quality simillar to that shown on the review page.?http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Content/smart.asp BTW: That Zip wont unZip..? Just out of curiosity what settings did you have set. I have it set for Super fine recording I have also had to adjust the brightness in some of the cameras to attempt to cut out some of the noise. Did you have to make any specific changes or is everything ok.

January 17, 200719 yr comment_144801 If it records in the daytime it will record at night time. It can only record the pictures that the cameras give it. What cameras do you have?

January 17, 200719 yr comment_144843 Here's another sample showing night time recorded playback from over the wireless network, Directly recorded onto the PC. Both cameras aren't too good at night, and the worst of the two is supposedly a Day/Night sony super had camera of 420TVL resolution. Illumination is by a 70 Watt sodium flood. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Uploads/2007.avi And this one's from late last year showing daytime playback, viewed over the network and recorded to pc. http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Uploads/2006.avi ........................................................

Maybe I was expecting a bit to much but the other DVR player I got seems to be better at night time.

January 17, 200719 yr comment_144850 Oh yours is fuzzy to at night. Yeah, it's not great... But I suspect the reason my end to be a lighting issue. I get totally different results using a 520TVL B&W camera... ........................................................

You could try using one of the new external dome cameras from Genie , they have a "digital noise reduction" feature built in which increases picture quality at night, and also extends record time as the picture doesnt use as much space to record as it is easie to compress.

January 23, 200719 yr Author comment_146224 Jus having a quick read about the Humbug http://www.tectonrd.demon.co.uk/humbug.html Do you just add this to where the DVR box is. e.g. camera from camer plug in Humbug get another BNC cable plug that in to hunbug and then DVR. Can you let us know where you got it form and the additional cable as i may try one to see if it improve any of the cameras. If it does can you have them on every camera ?
