Security camera system

[encorehunter]

I'm needing some help with a security camera system. The original owner had it hooked up through the net on an off brand site, which I have been trying get but it won't let me. I would like to set up where it works and I can monitor it, along with recording. The system has 7 cameras and a computer hooked up to it, along with internet access. Is there anyone here that does these security systems?

Go to the camera mfg website, to see what info they offer.

the brand name is often going to be a must - some will require the s/n - etc to let you control the hardware. Right now I am playing with a cheap IP camera and I needed a few things like that to let me perform a setup. Often the computer just might have that info on what ever application that they might be running local.

If it is not an IP (internet protocol) type hardware things get a lot more complex fast.

Was it Blue Iris software?

Let us know what brand shows up either as the software, website, or what have you. Without that, you are pretty hard to assist! It is similar to asking what crankshaft should go in your pickup without sharing the make, model, or engine type details are key.

I talked to a computer geek friend of mine. He leaves for Florida tomorrow, so he will come by next week. I will see if I can get the brands and such before then, but I hate computers.

If it's a 7 camera system, it is probably a real security system. Can you take pictures of each of the components? What we are looking for is the Make, Model, and Serial Number.

If you can find those, it will go a long way towards helping you.

It is called LA View. I have downloaded their app on my phone and tried on my home computer as well to no avail. There are three different styles of camera. Three exterior cameras, 4-5 interior cameras.

No love found on the site for LV_CBA63263BP

My guess it is an old analog system which I have never dealt with. Not as tho I have lots of background in IP cameras.

What type of cable is plugged into the back - my guess there is a DC 12v + coax style

The recorder looks like it has a Cat 5 style cable running to it - interesting.

is there a make / model # on the recorder hardware?
