Hello everybody and good day! This is Fred with tech talk and I'm coming at you today with a video
on the capture Advanced security surveillance camera solutions that are now available. They
are NDAA compliant, and this is important at this particular time because a lot of us as
do-it-yourselfers and installers we install a lot of Hikvision and Dahua product. As we know,
a couple of years ago Hikvision and Dahua and the folks they OEM for were noted in
the National Defense authorization act NDAA or the John McCain bill. Basically,
they were banned from being installed in federal government installations you know courthouses
police stations, military bases and places like that where National Security is you know certainly
of high importance. But now what we see here in late November the FCC has actually gotten involved
and they are also banning Hikvision and Dahua and this is a big deal. If you install this product
from either Hikvision or Dahua you have noticed that its availability is not what it used to be
the process has already started. I'm not going to read you this whole bulletin but basically,
it's Hikvision's communication with dealers saying they don't agree with the fcc's Judgment that
they're using all resources to explore you know all options. But something that's important is
the last paragraph "during the past year we have submitted numerous documents to the FCC outlining
the company's perspective on the topic providing third-party review of our cyber security by FTI
Consulting". It says to click here (which I'm not going to do) but I will tell you that the
FTI audit did find, and again Hikvision paid this company directly, the audit did find
that their IVMS client software connects to several servers in China. Hikvision said that
this is a coding issue it should have been dealt with before, they weren't aware of it
Hikvision had a bunch of answers for it but the bottom line is it was happening
and that's a concern. Again, it's part of the fcc's reason why they want to ban the product
um so from what I gather this stuff is probably going away and it's time for
you as an installer or do it yourself or to start familiarizing yourself with
other manufacturers. Anything you want to do going forward should be NDAA compliant
you know this stuff is getting a lot of media attention my father actually read this before
I did and has watched some of my videos and send me you know a text and hey did you hear about this
aren't these guys you installed yeah yeah I know Dad I'm aware of it um but but that's the kind
of attention it's starting to get so you don't want your brand and your label associated with
that anymore unfortunately and if you've been a member of my channel for a while a subscriber
um you know I like geek Vision I like that their product is cost effective it works
pretty well we've used it for years so you know I'm not a bully or a hater I'm just saying from
a business standpoint you know it's it's time to make a change and we have made the change we're
are starting to use capture Advance it's an ADI product it is ndaa compliant we're going to do
a video here in a minute but there are no software downloads for your PC there's no plugins like with
Hikvision, you simply pull up the NVR the DVR or the IP camera in a browser you can use any browser
their smartphone app which is capture ADV is amazing it's very simple and it's very similar to
Hikvision or Dahua so if you've installed those in the past I promise you'll be able to install this
as well it's going to be a great video let's get into it all right what do you say let's get into
the meat and potatoes before we do you know the drill there is a subscribe button in the bottom
right hand corner of your screen please click that and subscribe to our Channel if you have not yet
done so that way you'll be notified when we upload future content also like the video uh and please
leave comments a lot of these videos are based on subscriber and viewer questions and comments
um so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to log into one of these recorders in the
field using a browser so you can see how simple it is no plugins no nothing so I'm going to open Edge
which as you know with heat vision and dawa is a process right if you don't have old Explorer
um using Google Chrome or Safari or Edge uh it's a problem with this solution it
is not so I'm just going to paste here an IP address of a recorder
and there we go capture Advance a nice professional login
um it almost looks like you're logging into a cloud-based solution
as you can see there's a forget password forgot password uh link there which is super easy when
you set the product up it's going to prompt you when you initialize the recorder or the camera
it's going to prompt you for your IP I'm sorry your email address the reason it's important you
enter that in the events you forget your password you just hit that forget link and it will email
you a reset link much much easier than you know downloading the QR codes and emailing heat vision
customer customer support and all of that type of stuff okay so as you can see the interface is
very similar um to other Solutions this location has seven cameras to view one you just hit the
little arrow here it will turn green and there's your picture okay as you can see it's pretty good
stream Mobility you can see the vehicles moving these I believe are four megapixel cameras
um you know it's good encoding it's very smooth not choppy I believe this location it's down on
the cape in Massachusetts um they have 50 Mbps for bandwidth you can see it tells you motion alerts
you'll see them on the top of the screen there but yes it's pretty simple it's similar again to heat
vision and dawa during live view or playback if you see an incident you can take a snapshot
right there and we'll give you the link to the folder here
looks like my computer is half sleeping but
um that's how you do that you can also take video clips as you can see I I clicked on
that recorder the camera here and you'll see the Red Dot so it is recording this video and
when I hit that again it will stop you know okay those files will be in your download bin okay
there's the picture we just took so if we need to email that to the
police or the insurance company we can do that as an attachment okay
usually it comes up faster than this I think OBS which I'm using to make this video is slowing
things down for us I apologize that um but it will bring up the picture here in a second
there you go okay simple as that
we can get out of here uh and Playback is also very simple okay this is your live view icon if
we wanted to play back we can hit playback and again it's it's so it's it's similar to
um pink vision and that way you pick the date okay today's the first so
it's the only day this month that we have archive video um then you pick your camera
and um there are our recordings okay this is a good example of night vision
pretty clear uh these cameras are at night you don't go into IR mode even in uh you know low
lighting where you see that green kind of night vision nod stuff that you see with uh
with some of the less expensive cameras these are recording on motion um so that's why it
went from Midnight to 4 AM okay and again you can do the same thing in playback you can take
snapshots and uh record video Snippets that you can email okay so the browser is pretty simple
there is a settings tab you know where you can go into the OSD settings to name your camera
um
we can look at encoding if you want to change your frames per second these are
actually five megapixel cameras I'm sorry frame rate and stuff like that bit rate
you can go into record here and like I said set these up for either motion recording or continuous
recording right to do that it's pretty simple if I want to change this particular camera from motion
once it's on to continuous 24 7 recording all you have to do is highlight these guys
right oh I messed that up from top left to bottom right you can highlight these guys and it will
wipe them out you click on the blue here for continuous and just highlight those boxes again
and hit apply and we set that up to continuously record simple as that um your network settings
are in there so you'll want to go in there and make sure that the P2P app is enabled for your
um phone app to work um and basically that's it it's a relatively Simple Solution
um like I said the encoding is phenomenal there's no freezing up there's no plugins and it works
with any browser so what I would like to do now is show you how to set up the phone app um I'm going
to switch over to my phone and we will switch to the um capture ADV app is how it will show in
your app store but what you'll have to scan is you're gonna have to scan the QR code for that
P2P app so if we go into the network setting tab here in P2P you'll see this barcode right
along with the serial number when you set up the phone app you're going to see me scan a QR code
okay this is that QR code okay so you're gonna have to pull it up in a browser your camera or
recorder before you can set up your phone so with that said let's switch over to the phone all right
so the first thing we're going to have to do is go to our app store if you have an iPhone if you have
a Android you will go to your Play Store but when you're in there you are just going to type capture
a d v which is obviously the abbreviation for advanced
and when you search that you'll see it right here in the white and green
capture ADV I've already installed this app so I will just have to open it
and I've already I already have a marina added to
this but to add the device we are going to hit the plus sign here
and we are going to scan P2P device down at the bottom okay so when we
hit that it's going to go right to that QR code and look for that again we will
get that from our browser and we will go to the network settings and then select
P2P you'll get that QR code and all you'll have to do then is enter the password okay
and once we do that we can hit save
it will tell you it's successful and it will take a second to map
that recorder to the app once it does so like you see now you can actually tap the
um the recorder and your cameras uh will come up okay and then you can swipe through them
if you'd like to see multiple cameras on a single view if you look down on the bottom left
hand corner of your screen you'll see a box with a one in it if we click that we can go to four View
um then 9 then 16. this is only a seven camera system so we can pick nine and you
can double click on the cameras to see them you can turn your phone sideways and make
the picture portrait down on the bottom beside the one you will see SD if you click that you
can actually switch the picture to HD which will give you more resolution okay it's not
really any lettering that I see in this picture to zoom in on but it's a nice clear picture and
as you can see it's very fluent with the app okay with the app you can also do playback um
yeah that'll remember myself beside the recorder let's go ahead and change this if you hit the
three dots beside the recorder you can go to edit and where it says nickname um we'll just put demo
okay then we'll save
but what I was saying is if you hit the three dots beside um the recorder one
of the options will be playback okay into playback um we just need to pick a camera
so this is playing back camera one okay you can just slide like you do with the other apps
to the time and it's very fast there's not the lag that you see with heat vision and dawa
see that nice and smooth um and simple to use you can still take your picture and record your video
clip using the phone if you do it that way there is a me icon in the bottom right hand corner of
your screen you can go into that me folder go to images and there are those video clips right
so we can send them to the authorities or the insurance company so on and so forth right from
our phone anyway hopefully you enjoyed the video again this is a great product you're going to have
to find an alternate solution to heat prison and Nawa this is a very very good product the price
point is cost effective and it's a great solution until next time we'll see you in the field
