Thanks for the info, I think we are going to go with domes. Yes you are right I believe a PTZ is o away and wants to be able to watch the place. I don't blame him, especially if he hires waitresses as fine as are in his restaurant. ':wink:'

I think this site is great I have used it alot for my research. But I still am puzzed on shat camera a need to get. I have used the Sony SSC-M383 before and am not to pleased with the image. I am looking for a couple of camera suggestion for a friend of mine. I will be using a GE Kalatel DVR (This is what friend has in his other restaurant). We are looking at approx. 6 cameras. They are going into a Martini bar, so the lighting will be fairly low during operating hours. I have looked through the forums and have not really seen anything that jumps out at me for a camera choice. I prefer box but my friend is leaning toward a dome. He also wants a PTZ to go in the center of the bar. The bar is only 18' x 40'. So I guess what I am asking is what you be a good camera for a low lit bar. Price is aprox, 300-350 per cam. I know the PTZ will be considerably moer. Thanks,

Here is another one I am looking at. Sorry for the extra post. http://www.dvr-surveillance-cameras.com/detail.aspx?ID=417

Hello All, I would just like to say thanks for everyones input on this forum. I have been visiting for quite a while and have gained a lot of knowledge. now it is my turn to ask a question. Has anyone used this DVR before and if so what are your opinions. http://www.skywaysecurity.com/embedded_1600_series_embedded_dvr.cfm I usually use PC based systems but in the past have had problems with a couple of installs. (Computer problems ie Microisoft) One of my clients use an older Kalatel DVMRe 16 and he (and I) like it. I am just looking for a couple of options for him. Here are his major requirements: 1) Up to 16 cameras 2) Capability to manipulate a PTZ camera (future) 3) Remote viewing (Internet, remote monitor) 4) email notification, during closed hours Thanks,
