Hi this is the response from CCTV authorized dealer:
Jack, as you may know, we are not able to tell you specifically whether an item you bought from other companies is suitable for
CCTV-4 and
CCTV-9 reception with encrypted signals. Simply put, we are not responsible to what other sellers have done.
One important thing we do know is that it would be a serious violation to the CCTV/IRDETO contracts, if the manufacture (Coship, in this case) of this digital box has the CCTV box key installed without being properly licensed. Look through our list of CCTV authorized dealers, you can quickly find out whether that company is one of those listed.
CCTV smartcards come with each dedicated box, and is not sold separately.
As we have informed you many times before, you should always get your CCTV dedicated digital receivers from an authorized dealer, rather than someone you randomly picked out from the internet.
With the fact that your box did not come with a smartcard, we are almost certain this box was manufactured without the required box key. Therefore, you are pretty much on your own now. The box cam would not recogize any CCTV smartcard for data exchange. I will let you to reach your own conclusions on what that means to you.
We always wonder, why don't you let your local authorized dealer help you? Let us wish you the best luck on resolving this terrible mistake with your previous seller.
Thank you for your interests in CCTV equipment.
Does the box you have for sale have the CCTV box key installed ??? If not, why you previously advertized as CCTV READY?
