Yea, you're soo right, I should have updated you guys on this as you were so helpful.
So heres the deal, All is up and in place, I fired up the DVR and got a split screen of 16. I've only got five camera and 4 mics. Of the five cameras, 3 were working and 2 had nothing. All were B& W . Of the working 3, I only had one picture.
So I know I've got some bad connections. you've only got to look at the Cat5 cable and it snaps at the terminals.
I have yet to read the instuction manual for the DVR and the instruction set up for the cameras.
Work has taken me over and just finding the time and motivation when I'm knackered has put things on hold.
It was all put in as I just didn't trust the carer. So I sacked her ! Harsh I know, but I had good enough grounds too, without any CCTV footage.
Tomorrow I have some time ( I know, its always tomorrow, till something else comes up) I've found a new carer, used to be one of my customers, and I know her well, so the pressure is off. But I really should get round and do it tomorrow.
I will be back to update, as I siad I would, and thanks for giving me a nudge.
