  1. Iv looked an the more I look the more confusing it is! I plan on purchasing a new budget system but the details an options are endless. can anyone tell me what brands are good? Bad? Stay clear from? I know you get what you pay for an I'm on a tight budget. I'm looking at 8 channel- AHD systems for around $200 on eBay and Amazon . ( the cameras I already have BCN connections an I want to be able to continue using them) Amcrest, Zosi, FLouron, SANNCE , Annke, Lorex, zmodo, night owl ?? What's a half decent brand?? Any thoughts?

  3. iv already got BNC connections on my already installed cameras and I want to continue using them. I'm finding lots of confusing info so I just want some feed back on good or bad points about these following 4 ebay systems. I know the Sannce system cameras only have 1/4 cameras and the Floreon has 1/3, so I was leaning towards one of the floreon systems. price is a major issue an I am well aware of "you get what you pay for". (my first system was a sunluxy- don't go anywhere near them!! absolute garbage!!) any info or thoughts would be great cheers!> http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231586157164?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/311621909213?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/361315426815?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231986264360?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
  4. Hi all. I'm installing additional IR lights for my system and wanting to know how many amps I need. Budgets is tight so I don't really want to spend more then I have too. iv used replacement LED boards that you use in dome style cameras . Each have 48 LEDs. Iv constructed two housing an each housing contains 5 of these LEDs boards. So 10 LED board in total. I plan on powering these lights from there own power supply . How many amps do I need before I start losing power to the lights? Iv got a 12v / 3amp switching power supply Iv been testing various lighting ideas with. Would this be enough to power my lights? There not much info from the suppliers about how many amps these boards need.
  5. Hi. I'm just wondering if it's possible to tell if this camera has a IR cut off filter by looking at the photos? I don't know much about it other then it's a sunluxy camera ( cheap an nasty) an at night the image is black and white... When the camera switches to night mode , I can't actually hear the sound (click) of the filter lens moving out of position - but I have had cameras in the past that have done that very quietly . Oh- an yeh Iv removed the IR led board. ( I don't plan on using the camera on my security systems - plan on making a handheld night vision device with my son on the holidays as a lil project to keep him occupied !)

    DIY I.R. REFLECTOR

    Quick question - iv purchased several replacement IR leds for cameras that im goin to build housing for and install as extra IR lights. iv been experimenting with different household items as reflectors and defuses. eg- frosted plastics , tinted/frosted glass, various cheap torch reflectors, the dogs water bow, jars, pretty much anything and everything! iv heard IR reflectors need to be made of metal? not glass as it dosnt reflect very well? is this true? has anyone made or modified IR lights? wanna share some ideas or post some pics? any thoughts would be greatly appreciated at the moment iv rigged up my spare cameras with power supplies any just ducted tapped em ware ever just seeing what i can achieve. hahah think my neighbors think im goin crazy!! iv spent last 3 nights playing out the front under moon light hahah
