    HI FROM ETHIOPIA

    Welcome to the forum, Yetesfa. I am interested to know what types of cameras are most common in Ethiopia for high definition. Have you installed IP cameras on networks or do you use coaxial cable for new installations? Thanks, bv

    eclipse ecl-580 camera

    Sony effio chipset and exview sensor is pretty average technology found in many different manufacturers of CCTV and for $100 it is a great camera. http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/cx_news/vol66/pdf/cxd5148_40gg.pdf http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/effiowld/products/ccd.html The number of TVL only applies if you are viewing on an analog monitor to compare with another camera, but everyone can judge the resolution subjectively. It is difficult to notice a significant difference between 650-800 tvl unless they use a large high definition CRT monitor. Using a TV lines chart helps, but it is just an approximate measure of quality. While viewing remotely, the resolution is limited by the DVR/network constraints. Most DVRs that record high resolution stream in lower resolution. For more info about resolution, read this previous post: http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9035 Marketing and advertising tactics describe the product's resolution subjectively, but large manufacturers like Sony are selling their name and don't need to fudge the numbers. http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/cat-securitycameras/cat-cctv/product-SSCCB564R/ In general, the cctv camera market is very crowded and many "e-bay sellers" and manufacturers either falsify or exaggerate the specifications. That is why there are 4-channel kits being sold for under $100 to target residential users/DIY...we call them "fischer price toys" while professional installations can cost more than $500 PER camera. As an installer, I can save my client money by selling reasonably priced cameras with IDENTICAL technology. There is a place for the most expensive highest resolution cameras, but a lot of residential end-users demand value over having a Sony logo on their cameras. the camera ECL-580 is professional-quality WITHOUT the high cost.

    eclipse ecl-580 camera

    Sinbad if you are from fort lauderdale you should know that eclipse has distribution in south florida and does not sell through e-bay, neither do most other respectable distributors. the model ECL-580 is a good camera, i've installed dozens of them. it has high resolution thanks to sony sensor and chipset. good weather proof bullet design.
  5. ECL-NEXXA16 does not support >2TB drives. 3TB does not work. I've tried it myself.
