How far from the camera is the osd control? If it's close to the camera I'm wondering if a standalone controller that connects at the DVR would work.

OSD Control button about 1.5 ft ~ 2.0 ft far from the camera , but it doesn't give you RS485 output , so you can not control trough your DVR or any other controller

It is on the connection wire about a foot from the camera. Not sure about the stand alone controller working but the your dvr can change some camera settings too.

That's interesting. I wonder why it's called a DVR. I actually had the same question as Dennis, thanks for your reply.OK. I just got off the phone with tech at Archos and both the home and travel DVR do record from TV, VCR and DVD player. The main difference is the Home DVR dock is not travel friendly because of size/weight and there is no "s" plug on the travel dock.

Thank you for your inquiry.No, you will have to activate privacy masking on the DVR.The OSD is used for adjusting the amount of light the camera receives while recording video.

I'm not sure I understand your question..does it have to be connected to a DVR all the time for what?? To be able to view? No but it needs to be connected to something in order to be viewed

Personally, I have disconnected the NVR because it has been more of a hassle trying to get their software up and running as an isolated unit apart from my PC (the reason that I made the purchase). I have decided to Run ISpy freeware on my PC and use my 1TB hard drive to record any activity.

It seems to be about 12 ft. Beyond that, it's more like looking at shadows. It is very good up close, within 8 ft. I'd guess. Unfortunately for me, the DVR hasn't worked long enough for me to have good data. I'm now waiting on my 4th unit, having sent 3 new DVRs back since November, all with the same kind of failure.

I use mine with a Night Owl DVR. The connections on this camera are the same as what came with my factory Night Owl cameras so it should also work for you no problem. All the adjustments are made through the controller on the camera so that's all a standalone control and isn't effected by your DVR.

Hello Abraham, the Camera really needs to be connected to its own DVR, the software that comes with the equipment, only works by.... the software connects to the DVR and back and forth. Hope this helps.

I can't answer you question because I'm not using it to control anything. I use it to connect a set of speakers to the receiver so my husband can hear the audio better than what comes off just the TV. I connected the transmitter to the audio out and the receiver to the set of speakers. Both devices are in the same room pointed at each other. Not what you want to do. I think your DVR would have to be UHF and not infrared for that to work.

Not sure Thomas, I returned the system due to some issues with exporting footage of the DVR. However, when I was testing this system, it did seem like as long as you had a long enough cable, the system captures (but not exports) fine.

we have a sony sxrd and an hd dvr and our remote has no issues finding these. The only problem we have is sometimes it doesn't turn off the dvr.

The provided cable is setup for standard power hookup and BNC connection for the camera. The cable also contains 2 control leads for the PTZ connection on your DVR or the provided controller, which I use. The remote control (provided) works very well with the controller.

I was able to get my foscam to work after changing the camera port and manually putting in the rstp setting. However I found the keypad un reliable for recording and purchased a dedicated NVR. Search the Internet for a how too.

No, you will need to purchase a controller or use the ptz controller that comes with your dvr if applicable.

I'm no expert, but it seems to me that you would need a mixer. A resistor from each mic to a common resistor across the DVR in would work, but probably with low volume. An active mixer would be better. In any case, it can be done, but you are going to have a lot of noises coming in to the one input.

Yes, it has RS232 control that can be used with many DVR's to give you remote access. Out of the box this unit does not allow a remote user to control, it takes a secondary box.

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.
