Dvr Recommendation?

What about using a GSM module Luke to control his outputs seperately?

 

Depending how often he wanted to carry out this commands, he could monitor his cameras via his phone and then use text messages to trigger the control outputs?

that was one of the first things we suggested to him but he said no, as he wants a solution with just one app, and wants to be able to see the gates open and then close.

its looking like we're just going to use either geovision or eneo DVR like we use as standard, and a pelco D to relay output converter, we did offer him better solutions but he went for this one.

will be interesting to see how it turns out, as i've not used one of these converters before.

Avtech ip camera? 2 way audio, push notifications and trigger the output straight from the app.

Then use an avtech dvr at the house so everything uses the same app.

With hikvision dvrs, we managed to do what you are asking - control relays and use 2 way voice.

yep, since this ppost we've moved to hikvision for everything.

very impressed with the kit! we've utilised the relay outputs for allsorts. from lights and gates, to sirens and door locks.

 

also replaced the DVR at home from a DS2 to a hikvision one.

Have you looked at the  videcon vxh ? got an older version of that unit in my garage (vxm) never missed a beat and been running 4 years now, vxh will do what you require, been looking at upgrading mine to one of these for a while now

Our main DVR is the Luxrite Vectus range.

Easy to set up and user friendly.

Very similar to the Dynamic MX but a far better unit.

Got two sites with random remote access problems using these units. Can't pin down the actual cause but a tad suspicious.

We binned them after two sites that were monitored had nothing but trouble. We use them for local recording on those sotes but use hitel for transmission. Shame as I liked them.

Which hikvision units are you using?

Have you had the push alarm working reliably with hikvision? It seems ios7 borked it. Avtech updated their eagleeyes app and fixed after ios 7 broke it on that but it still seems hit or miss on the hikvision.
