ready! GO!

here is my theory. And I am pretty sure that this is probably it because this is the only possible way.

ok here is a quick diagram of my house and this set up from a a birds eye view.

Ok so the ir's are hitting the ground (#1) reflecting back and hitting my shed(#2) in the back yard and reflecting back in the direction of the way it came and passing the ladder(#3) and therefore giving a shadow.

thats a good ways to travel but has to be the way.

i am sure that the 68 is not behind the ladder I have gone out there and staired at the setup atleast 4 times. And my wife went to visit her mom out of town so cant do that. I swear it makes no sense but it that is how that set up is. I was hoping someone would give me a really easy obvious answer.

nope, i have every other light off in here. it is completly dark.

ok I was showing a friend of mine how sensitive these panos are to IR. So this is the set up

and here is the picture. Explain how you see the shadow of the ladder with it behind both cams

????????????????????????????

overtime??

exactly..

Man if I was paid overtime pay man that would be a ridiculous amount of overtime pay.

rory pm me your shipping address and I will send you a few. Man those things are a huge time and headache saver

its a decent camera for the price. Dont expect 500 feet out of it. But definitly a good camera for the price.

if you can buy that in your country .. .

were you talking about if you can buy the #5 welders glass?

#5 welders glass. Works Perfect. As along as you can put it all the way against the glass without any light getting through.

oh ya and if this is your first couple of times doing this I would ad a lot more than 3% to be sure you dont eat the cost because of any inexperience. God knows I did when I started out.

can you provide a layout, pictures, measurments? or even a google earth photo? As much detailed explenation as you can will help. Pictures and measurements will also be extremely helpful in aiding your design.

i would go with the 53 instead of the 43. And why do you want them to look like floodlights if people cant rip them off? Honesly I have numerous cameras around my house. On the outside I honstely have 9. And its a perfectly square house. Well 4 of those are for testing and 5 for my personal system. And the other day one of my neighbors saw me adjusting a camera during the day. Well that was the first time he ever knew their was cameras!?!?!?! I was shocked. I mean I these are not hidden cameras. The one I was adjusting was in a pelco outdoor housing. Point of the story, People dont look up. Mount it above the normal area people ever look and chances are they will never even notice it.

hey check out this link.

this is my "competition"

Ya one of the easiest ways to tell if someone is a newbie that installed a system is it seems they always mount the camera right behind a flourescent light looking right into the light. At least around here. Its pretty funny.

buy some equipment and hook your house or something up just like you were going to do it on a real installation. Let it run for a week and see if you still are interested.

hey kandcorp its good to see you actually post some pics of your girlfriend, I was starting to wonder if she was actually real.

no wait....

Paintballs

thats not really what I am talking about.

I am talking more along the lines of particular light bulbs that put off a spectrum of light that was not anticipated that the camera obviously see's.

Of course light is your friend other wise we have no images. Unless we all used thermal. Sales would probably go down. Anyways back on subject.

just kidding, dont try

oh ya I agree with rory. The whole process of designing and choosing the type of equipment for each specific area is 75% of the job that will make the job a do it yourself qualty and a professional quality designed system and effectiveness.

But that is a pretty general question about a very detailed oriented and rapidly changing industry. Are you looking to get into the installation business? or are you a do it yourself person?

use a filter the sdII and even the SDIII with abf still need you to get it set right

no I was talking about the 1/3". I have not tried the 1/2" Man I usually set the duration time on mine so that the camera will switch to bw as fast soon as it can on auto because the bw is just so clean.

man I love them. they look excellent under applications others would just pretty much quit. I used to only attempt to put them in at the base but here lately have been able to get them out into the public. The color reproduction is beautiful compared to any other cam i have come across. It takes the whole behavior of old cameras (pretty much just reflectiing light into a viewable image...bad abnormal light conditiions = bad shot) and leaves it behind in the dust. The whole image processing and scaling of individual colors and combining the usuable ranges in the image to produce what would have been a "damaged" shot into a very clear image that was pretty much created by the camera.

It bllows just about any other camera out of the water. If you really want get some person to upgrade a system or get them open up the idea of spending some money, then just put a SDIII in place of one of their cameras for a week and I promise you they wont be able to stand looking at the rest of the cameras. It works all the time. Heck it worked on myself. About 7 months ago I started to put those in the systems desing and proposals for the base and got some in. Decided to check it out and ended up taking down every camera I had and putting up the SDIII instead. Its like it hurts my eyes to see others up against it.

I would definilty recommend trying atleast one out( thats what I did and ended up putting 13 on my PERSONAL system). People complain they are expensive but man they are worth every dime to me. Especially since those other cameras HURT MY EYES!

oh when we get done with this job their will definitly be some video links.

About the 300x I dont have a link but if you get that panasonic spec cd it has all kinds of cool presentations with clips on the cd. Let me see if I can upload some of it to my site and then try to let you ftp some of it.
