  1. I am trying to put in a maglock onto an automatic sliding door. I know about the Time Delay Modules, however in this case I have another problem. It is a nursing home so it requires a delayed egress. Triggering I have worked out. But according to code, once the door is opened it has to stay unlocked until reset. With the TDM, it will automatically lock in a max of 99 seconds. Any ideas? Thank you
  2. I am normally an IP camera guy, but I am fooling around with an analog camera and I am having issues. The DVR is a digimerge DH200. The camera is a VLB7IR from ATV. The camera does not work with the NVR. I have a cheap junk $20 camera that does work, but not this one. The camera powers up, because the IR lights turn on. Any suggestions? Thank you
  3. Hi, How/where do people get the leads from to bid on projects such as banks/grocery stores, etc..? Thanks
  4. Thanks for the tip. What is the greatest distance you have used the D62 in a hallway style environment? This is for a school to keep see what is doing with the kids.
  5. Got it. Thanks. That just reduced my costs. I was looking at a vivotek FD8131. Any experience on how this would handle a hallway (or any experience in general)?
  6. So you believe I would be able to get away with using one 1 megapixel camera with a 12mili meter lens to cover a whole hundred foot hallway? Thanks
  7. If one is trying to film a 100ft hallway, is it practical to use a 12mm lens, or will everything that is near be completely distorted? I am trying to decide between using one 1mp with a 12mm lens or two 1mp with a 2.8mm lens on each end. Of course the one 1mp w/12mm will be much cheaper but will it be really useable? Thanks
  8. Does it allow the user to view 12 cameras at once? How resource intensive is it?
  9. How is the interface? Is it easy to use/search? Thank you
  10. I have a customer that is tight on a budget now and wants to hold off (temporarily) from purchasing a NVR software. Is there any software that can support acti and vivotek cameras, that is priced very low (or free)? We can use the one that comes with acti and vivotek because he has two acti cameras with 8 vivoteks. Thanks
  11. Does anyone have any experience with the vivotek fe8172? I was original looking at the mobotix q24, but this looks like the same and a lower price. Thank You
  12. Ive been reading about Avigilon and it is on my to do list to learn more about them. I see a lot of demos of their high end devices. How are their lower end ones? For the bulk of my installs the customer would rather have a few cheaper cameras rather than one or two more expensive ones. I have used the IPX-1700 series for when I am trying to cover a larger parking lot. I have a strip mall coming up that wants cameras in their parking lot for liability issues. The front parking lot is about 355ft X 200ft, so I am thinking the Avigilon may be good for there. Re Aimetis, it is a resource hog, but once you configure the stream properly, its not bad. I have probably set up 10 analytic licenses for it out of 100 regular licenses.
  13. What cameras are you happy with for restaurant/retail?
  14. As of now, I mainly use vivotek cameras. And when they what fancy NVR software, I use aimetis. But I'm always looking for more
  15. Im looking at this camera for two needs: 1) As a camera to be used in restaurants or shops, allowing the owner to cut down in costs 2) Im attending a local B2B expo in the near future and I am looking for a camera that will show the wow factor of IP cameras vs analog. And setting up a camera like this in the exhibit hall, and letting the visitors play with it I think will be have an effect. Unless you think there is a better camera for that. Thank You
