standard speaker cable 2 conductor will work fine for that.
We also carry battery packs, & a cigarette lighter adapter if you don't want to directly wire it in your car.
Note:
Wireless cameras should only be used if you cannot physically run a
wire to the camera location, or you are trying to be covert about where
your recorder is hidden.
Q:how long will this unit record using a 160gb hdd
A:it
will record for weeks, & even months depending on how you set up
the frame rate of record time & motion settings, you can email us
when you buy the recorder & we can set it up for you to record the
duration that fits your needs.
Note:
The Record time can vary depending on how much motion is sensed. The
lower the frame rate=the longer the record time you will acheive, but
the video will play back in frame shot pictures, & will not look as
fluid as real time looks as if it was set on the highest frame rate
setting. Set for continous record at the highest frame rate using 4
cameras will record for around 3 full days then overwrite/loop.

only need a monitor to set up & aim your cameras, or review play

still record.

recording inputs.
Q:Can i mask or hide a camera from appearing on a monitor so others do not know i am using a hidden or covert camera?
A:Yes
you can, the dvr unit is password protected, & you can specify
which cameras you want to be displayed for others to see. It will still
record all the cameras, but just display a blue screen over the camera
channel that is blacked out by you. Its a setting in the menu that can
be turned on or off easily.

A:500
gigs max, 1 hard drive slot only. any sata, or ide hdd will work with supplied adapter when set to

tab"on start up through the dvr after connected to the 2 ribbon cables
inside removing 6 philips screws from the cover.
Q:Can i use this somewhere where there is no power?
A:
yes, any 12v car type battery will work to power the unit, or daisy
chain a few car batteries for extended record times. Even use a solar
power panel if in a remote area, which we also carry, & we can also
supply low volt drawing cameras if needed. The dvr draws 2.5 amps or
less.
Q:what is the frame rate for each camera?
A: 7.5fps ea x 4 = 30fps total.
Q:what If i have 4 cameras connected to the dvr but i am only watching camera 1 on a TV monitor, is it only recording camera 1?
A: No,
it is still recording all 4 cameras & you can still review playback
in a 4 screen picture or in single camera full screen mode.
It will record all the cameras connected to the dvr no matter how you are viewing them in real time.
Q:what happens when the hard drive gets full?
A:no
tapes to change ever again. When the hdd is full, it will automatically
loop & overwrite the earliest recorded video, or you can set the
dvr to stop recording in the menu.

A:
We have not had any recording problems using this dvr in the cold
michigan weather, or the hot weather of arizona, so its ok i would say
for any application.
Q:how can i view my cameras on all my tv sets in the house?
A:that
can be done by using a digial rf modulator which connects directly
after your cable or satellite coaxil incoming signal, & you can
filter out some tv channels you do not watch, & when the tv set is
turned to that channel in the house, the cameras will apear on the
selected channels in 4 screen mode if thats the way you have your dvr
display set.
Q:when i turn off my car ignition will the dvr still record?
A:yes it will still record as long as you have it connected to a live fuse or directly to the vehicle's battery
NOTE:
if you are not sure on how to wire this in your car/truck, any car
stereo dealership can attatch, direct hot wire, & even extend the
dc power pigtails for you for a small labor charge.
Q:If
im using this in my home, & the power goes out & then comes
back on, will the unit start to record again or do i have to re
arm-activate it?
A:when the power comes back on, your dvr will start recording automatically.
Note:
If you are in a situation where theft can be a big loss for you, &
the burglers are very smart & know you have cameras installed, they
may try to cut off power to you home or business, & you may want
to get whats called a battery backup system sold at any local computer
or electronics store which will hold power to your cameras & dvr
even if someone has cut off your power, & are going to try to rob
you blind.
Q:what is the warranty & how are returns handled:
A: full 1 year warranty from purchase date. Email must be sent or you
can call by phone to troubleshoot the problem. If we cannot fix the
problem over the phone, then an rma# will be issued. The unit must be
returned to us with your full name, phone# & return address.
Q:Can you custom design me a system to fit my specific needs?
A: yes we can customize a system for any application. You need to
decide on an overall spending budget, the type of cameras you require, how
long of cables you need from the cams to the dvr, & we can suggest a value priced high quality do it yourself system.
you can email us Search "RageCams GoPro Lens" on YouTube to see our videos
with your custom request & we will get back with you quickly. If
you do not hear back from us within 24hrs, chances are we did not get

Free Security anti theft tips & advice:
Theft
is on the rise people, & the only way you can survive in this day
& age is to be smarter than the dumb to average or very smart
criminal.
1. Try to use hidden covert cameras if you can, &
this way a crook will not know that they are being recorded, & its
much less likely that they will throw on a mask or disguise.
2. If
you have some real cameras installed presenty, make sure you also add a
few hidden cameras some where else in the event that the crook covers
your visible camera lens, tears it down, smashes it with a hammer, or
cuts the cord on it. You will then have extra footage needed to assist
in the profiling of the crook.
When using a hidden camera
system, keep in mind on possible options of tactics, or counter
measures to camoflauge weather people know you have cameras, or suspect
you may have cameras.
You could have have a bunch of working hidden
cameras along with a bunch of low cost fake non working cameras to
confuse the theif from trying to find the real camera, or even thinking
that there may be other cameras hidden. Most likely the crook will
discover that you have fake cams, & can get more daring also to
steal or vandalize.
You may also want to find or purchase a
broken-non working dvr that does not function right to pose as a dummy
recorder, & set it up with 4 bnc coaxil cables running into the
wall from the dvr & super secure the cables to make it look like
the crooks found your dvr, & cannot pull out the wires from the
wall & see the trick. The crooks will think they got you when they
rip out the bad dvr & then not realize that there is a hidden
camera system you still have recording in the mean time.
3.Make
sure the dvr is hidden very well, in an attic, basement or even in your
trunk so it cannot be found, or else they can run off with not only all
your stuff, but they will also get your dvr & cameras while they
are at it.
4. If you already have some fake cameras installed
& everyone knows they are fake, its a good idea to set up 1 or 2
real-standalone self recording all in one dv cameras that are hidden to
find out who you can really trust. We carry many options for that also.
5.
Its a great idea to set up a bunch of fake cameras, stickers, signs,
& even a non working horn also around your property if you cannot
afford a real system.
(we
offer many fake INDOOR-OUTDOOR camera burglar alarm police dispatch
sticker warning sign kits in our ebay store if you need a low cost
solution to any potential problems)

NOTE: To save video evidence or audio video files:
The key is to use the PC Viewer software that comes with the viewer.
The software can be used easily to que up to the audio & video to be
saved. Once qued, click on Capture MYS & the segment will start to
Capture. It will take 2 or 3 times longer than real time with a
typical computer. Once the incident is captured it has to be played
back with the software that comes with the recorder. I first thought
that this was a disadvantage vs using the AVI or JPEG capture, but I
have come to appreciate that this adds some security as it is not easy
to have someone access the video unless they know how to.
