Qvis Ip Camera Software

[Timothee Cazares]

Ivgot 5 Qvis dome cameras installed about 7 years ago, connected to a Qvis Pioneer 8ch dvr. No problems so far, until last week when suddenly all 5 cameras have a grainy picture, worst at night when you can barely see anything, literally pitch black.

Restarted Dvr, checked hard drive connection and formatted, checked ethernet connections, all look okay. Same issue on App and Monitor connected via hdmi. Just to add its connected via powerline adaptors with ethernet, so I disconnected them in case of interference but same issue.

Update, I connected 1 camera to the power supply, crystal clear images back to normal. Connected 2 and okay, 3 and okay, as soon as forth one connected all went grainy. So looks like the power supply is down to its last leg and needs replacing?

Hi i have a qvis eyevip-5-fw poe camera it was part of a 3 camera network the nvr has died i bought a diferent nvr the other 2 cameras ( which are a different model ) still work but this one wont link. When i input the ip address it goes to the logon page but the browser needs a plugin which wont work. I remember when i got the cameras a few years ago there was a program that allowed to set up camaras but cant remember.

Hi Tom thanks for your hellp, problem solved when i set up the system i had left the 5mp cameras password to the default & when i got the other 2 a couple of weeks later i changed the passwords so was entering the changed password the camera was set to a different gateway ip all changed and working used ie on my macs windows in compatibility mode to reset the camera thanks again Tom.

One thing I really like about this camera is the OSD controls, they are located on the cable, about 36 inches from the camera. Very convenient.. with my CNB's, my body usually gets in the way when using the OSD.

The low light pic isn't natural light, it's from a CFL lamp about 8 feet to the left of the FOV. I'm going to try and get some daytime outside video tomorrow. And as far as the settings, I'm still learning about all of the different available settings on different cameras, so I very well could have it setup wrong.

I talked to Sean and he says they are decent cameras, that they sometimes need a little tweaking to get a good picture as the default settings can be weird sometimes. I'll play with it some more and see what I can come up with.

In your second video, you have a color rolling issue due to the certain type of lighting. Within the menu, there is a setting called "Anti CR" which will take care of that issue. Also, maybe its just me, but that same video appears to be slightly out of focus.

Cool. I got my childhood TV up here at my warehouse too. It came a few years earlier, but I guess this one was high tech back then because it has RCA inputs on it. Those little 13" TV's are great for analog cameras though.

This is not a SmartThings specific issue but wondered if anyone in the ST Community has tackled such an problem?

I have a number of Qvis-Eye5mp IP cameras both bullet and dome connected to my Qvis Falcon NVR.

The NVR sits in the AV cabinet under my primary TV. I would like the tv to change to the NVR HDMI input when movement is detected on a selected camera (Front Door), The TV has HDMI CEC capability meaning it changes input if a connected device (TV Box, Blue Ray Player etc) is turned on. I was hoping to be able to use the Camera/ NVR alarms to trigger an HDMI switch which will connect the NVR to the TV and therefore change input. Unfortunately unlike some commercial NVRs there are no direct connections to the alarm trigger contact in the NVR

Has anyone else achieved something like this? In the NVR there are options for sending an email or uploading to an FTP server. I could possible use IFTTT to use the email as a trigger which activates a smart switch but that might be a bit laggy due to time taken by email and IFTTT response.

Are there any other options like integrating the CCTV feed into ST that might work?

I know I could get a Ring doorbell but would ideally like to use what equipment is already installed. I do have an Amazon Fire TV Cube which integrates with Alexa if that helps.

So you need to create a trigger, my solution was in the form of a external cheap movement sensor connected separately to an LED security light, power was supplied from a wall plug that had a smart power sense zwave or zigbee pocket socket, when movement detected by sensor, light comes on, power draw rises and using a ST routine you can then use that power change (above 2w) for example, change Tv input to HDMI conected to NVR or PC running appropriate software

Or an IR blaster television control device that works with SmartThings like the Switchbot mini hub. Then you set the desired input as a Switchbot scene and let SmartThings activate that scene. This will work with any television with an IR remote that can change the input.

Many thanks Mike, Whilst I might not use exactly the workaround you have implemented it has made me consider some other possible option such as use of a separate motion detector in conjunction with a smart switch which switches the input.(possibly using IR as JD Roberts has suggested below)

That what I love about these Forums

Many thanks JD Roberts. I found on YouTube where people were able to configure smart doorbells like Ring or similar to display on TV and Echo Show including via Fire TV Cube. Thats sound promising so many thanks I will look into your suggestion.

Most locksmiths are always on the lookout for new products and better prices, so we can bring better value to our customers and remain competitive in an economic environment which could be described as challenging. Qvis Labs is one such new video surveillance product manufacturer and research and development center for security products.

In this continually evolving sector, technology is of the utmost importance and Qvis prides itself at being on the cutting edge of the continually evolving video surveillance sector. By obtaining products directly from their website, the locksmith can benefit from dealer direct pricing, and an impressive selection of technology. This selection allows the locksmith to bring value to the customer with products which best meet their requirements and price point.

Products are classified Consumer, Professional and Enterprise class, and QVIS has products that range from simple four-channel DVRs up to RAID 10 arrays. If you are new to video, they offer startup kits, and email newsletters with weekly specials.

WD AV drives are a good choice for always-on 24/7 AV applications. They are designed for media center, media server, surveillance, digital signage and other AV systems requiring perfect audio and video, low heat, low power and long-term reliability.

Video Cable Types: A good connection between the camera and the DVR is an essential step towards achieving the best possible image. The proper gauge and type of wire is required so your installation is consistent with the building codes. If you are using analog cameras, then you will use either Siamese cable or UTP.

PLENUM cable must be used in many commercial environments and always if your cable is to be installed in areas referred to as plenums which are used to move air as part of the heating and cooling system.

Direct Burial: Often when it is necessary to run wire between buildings under ground, it may make sense to simply drop the cable into the trench and fill the hole back in. Video cabling is low voltage, so conduit is not required for safety, although you may wish to use conduit (metal or plastic) to protect the cable from damage.

UV Resistant: If your cable is going to span across buildings overhead, or be otherwise exposed to the great outdoors, then use wire that is designed for this exposure otherwise the wire jacket will dry out, crack, moisture will get in and seep along the wires and will cause you grief or have a negative effect on the performance of the video surveillance system.

RG Cable: RG-59 copper conductor and copper shield is the most commonly used cable, and is available in plenum and non-plenum. RG 59 is acceptable for cable runs up to 750 feet. RG-6 has a larger diameter center conductor, has lower resistance than RG-59, and is recommended for cable runs up to 1,000 feet. RG-11 is heavier and recommended for use on cables up to 1500 feet. (I personally never have used RG-11)

CAT-5e (Cat 6) UTP a/k/a UnTwisted Pair is an alternative to coax and is less expensive than coax and easier to install. It is also suitable for extended cable lengths, and there are midspan devices which will allow even longer runs.

When pricing out your projects it will become apparent that the money you save on the network cable you give back with the additional cost of the baluns. But the network cable is so much easier to install, and for long cable runs your costs even out.

The baluns provided in the QVIS kit enable the video as well as the power to be sent down the cable. The industry has pretty much transitioned over from Cat 5e to Cat 6. The pricing and performance of Category 6 may make mores sense to you. When using UTP, it will be necessary to attach connectors onto the ends of the cables. You will need the connectors and a tool to do this. Please note that the connectors used for Cat 5 are different than those used for Cat 6, and if you get them mixed up, you or your installers will have problems attaching the connectors.

You might also consider getting a cable tester so you can verify that you have installed the connectors properly. Miswires on the cables will cost you time troubleshooting problems, and possibly damage a camera or a power supply.
