    How can you connect those same camera to the app on my phone ?

  • @AudioCraZ
    @AudioCraZ20 күн бұрын

    As this is an older unit, it will require manual configuration of your firewall/router. You will have to consult the manual on which ports you need to forward, I know port 80 an sometimes 8080 will need to be forwarded, but there are a few others as well. You will also have to configure your firewall/router to set the IP address to not change (static IP). As each manufacturer of firewalls and routers have different ways of accomplishing this, so you will need to consult your firewall/router instructions on how to do this as well. When it is all done, you will just point the software on your phone to the IP address of of your firewall/router, and the username/password you set on your NVR. That should give you remote access to your cameras on your moble device.

    good vid. worthy box to rejuvenate and not too difficult (painful maybe) to get into. I hate the monolithic PCB model but still a nice little board. better than a lot of their stuff (Mackie). I don't know if it would work but you might check out deoxits faderlube f5 (i think) to smoothen the fader sliders.

    I thought the Gold Deoxit was for gold plated contacts and tracks? Also spraying the pots from the shaft dissolves the greese that gives it that tight feel, dont know whether those potetiometers have an access hole underneath, if not they should be pulled apart or a small hole drilled for access Cheers

    It has been a whlie since I messed with these cameras, but I believe they are on DHCP. I put them on an isolated network, and used NMap to find the IP. Connected to it via web browser. These used a really old firmware, so I had to use Firefox or IE to connect, as newer browsers wouldn't work.

    @christiaanbezuidenhout698410 ай бұрын

    Sir, I think you've accidentally switched them around somehow.. The fake mics can be spotted a mile away by the thin'ish grill's they have. Original shure mics have the thicker wire on the grills. You'll see it clearly at 10:40. Also, the blue ribbon on the real shure's are light blue, the fakes use a pale blue ribbon 10:44. Another test you can do is side rejection. The REAL beta58 will have more side rejection than a fake.

  • @AudioCraZ
    @AudioCraZ10 ай бұрын

    There are typically two reasons for static. 1. Oxidation and dust/crap buildup on the contacts of the faders or pots. Typically spraying the faders will help. 2. The contacts in the faders are badly worn from heavy use. This a lot of times requires replacing faders or pots.

    I just blasted my 45 year old 22 Faders present in my Soundcraftsmen PE2217 Preamp - Equalizer, with Deoxit D5. The Faders were sitting up right such that any dirt flushed during the cleaning will at least drop to the bottom area, where the pot is at zero ohms. This fixed all intermittent problems along with fixing several Faders which were making no contact at all. The big job was re-lubricating the Faders with a silicon lubricant. WOW! The Faders now slide easier than they have in over 40 years. These Faders are of a unique style where the internal contacts are located on the sides rather than on the bottom, and they are made of two pieces of plastic that are held together with two metals clips. And so lubricating them is somewhat different since you have to lubricate both on the inside and externally as well. But, once done, they slide with sooo much ease. Next I have to fix(clean) pots and switches on my 1978 AKAI GX -630D reel to reel tape recorder, which has the famous Glass X'tal Ferrite Head.

    your testing of any microphone should be done through a software program to see the frequency response. it is difficult to tell if the range of frequency has discrepancies. also use frequency generator to test the frequencies. also sensitivity issue is a big test for any mike for feedback when the mike is far from your mouth. thanks for sharing.

    Oh also if the shiny one has 3 holes on the side its definitely fake. There should only be 2 holes. I coudnt see the side of the one u said was real but thats a way you check instantly. U did show thevside of aliexpress beta 58 and it looks legit. Shure mics always have a matte finish on the grill not shiney.

  • @AudioCraZ
    @AudioCraZ Жыл бұрын

    Actully, Shure has made both Matte (Beta 58) and chrome (SM 58). The older Beta 58's from the 70's and 80's all were chrome. They always make slight changes over the years with materials. It looks like they tried to make it look similar to a Beta 58, but the SM58 knock off grills are easier to get ahold of. Just put a blue band on the grill and voila! And as an update, the knock off died a few months back. Started sounding really bad.

I plugged all my cameras into a PoE switch, fired up SADP, and I can see & update all of my dome cameras, but none of my bullet cameras (LV-PB912F4C). Of course the bullet cameras are mounted high outside, so they are the most difficult to reset. Any idea why the bullets would not appear in SADP when they are plugged into the same switch as the domes? Any ideas to try? Thanks.
