First person I know that has used MxServer to integrate non mobotix into mxcc, nice work. But, why cant they push out an encoder like Avigilon, they would instead like to waste time working on the door station that seems to never get released

how far is the distance from the building that you want to mount the camera and the construction site and how large of an area do you need to cover -- i'd think the 135lens is going to be to tight

m12 135mm lens with lpf is the way to go - daytime any mp camera can grab lens but at night is the real challenge, we have done several installs with this camera and have beaten every other vendor

the mobotix cameras will manage the file deletion based on the size or days you do not have to write a script -- we also use qnap 459 pro and mobotix cameras for our installs

why would you buy over 10k worth of cameras before you closed the deal?

I wish what I was told a year ago was true that the m14 would be out by 2011 -- looking more like 2012 but i am optimistic that we will see it before year end -- we need a wow factor from mobotix this year as my eye is starting to stray

i would setup a new user on the nas with a new share and see if you are seeing the same issue -- i have seen something like this before but you should be seeing yellow error messages on the live screen or in the system logs --updated your nas firmware and make sure there are not limits set on the share

to do the dmp report that you can send to mobotix support do the following

camera ip/admin/report.dmp

goto admin and storage on external file server and tell me if the data is limited at all - by days, or sequences or size -- you might have to hit the more button to see the section under the storage on external file server area

you just dont want to buy a backbox? it'll be more hassle than actually getting one - you could probably pick one up cheap on ebay

find a local dealer and get a demo of both the cameras if possible, if the lighting is poor you will probably have to add separate IR illuminators to "light up" the area at night.. id also suggestion Mobotix M12 d/n camera

good luck

pg

i assume he is using passive baluns on each side if this is a analog camera with coax going out to the camera and dvr -- you will have to move to active baluns to boost the signal on a run this long

yes you can export as avi currently

the next firmware release is talking about h.264 as well so stay tuned on that

you can use the usb for storage but you can also just setup a share on your network and have the camera store its data direct to it

what kind of blog?

good luck

multimode 62.5micron is typically the standard -- talk with the switch mfg but you'll want the fiber to have sc connections and you will need gbic on each side that will take the sc connector and attach to the switch -- you can buy pre-terminated fiber in any distance so to the point it's to expensive or complex isnt true -- call your local distr and they can connect you with someone that will build the 500ft piece of fiber you'll need, then you just pull it connect both sides to each switch and your good

good luck

M14 due out December -- I'd say shipping in January 11

lets hope mxcc 3.0 is also out the same time

I also so a shot of the new camio where it had a 3g modem built in and a 4 port poe switch to power 4 cameras -- could be nice - don't know when release for this is

buell,

you can use the extio - it has the outside temp sensor and you can link it to the camera and use it as the temp on screen

as far as the -5c -- its more of a guess at the difference - will probably change in the winter -- I have never seen a camera at a temp above 105 with or without the -5c so I wouldn't fear putting it outside in AZ -- it gets pretty hot here in Chicago too during the summer

Any advice on the following application:

5 light poles with power will have 5 megapixel ip cameras(mobotix m12s) mounted on them with a box that contains a wireless ap so that the client can drive their car to any of the poles and download any of the video onto their laptops by accessing the wireless network -- poles are all in one line about 100-200ft apart all with los

yep a m12 and there is a variable you can add to the text section I think its ~Tn and it will display the temp in F. Its the internal temp of the camera so you have to offset the temp by about -5C which gets it close to outside temp in F

hey someone stole the back of that maroon car

i love avigilon but that shot looked a little out of focus, am i wrong?

looking to get rid of a pano controller that my client didn't need for an install, never used new in box

send me a pm is interested

post snapshots of the sanyo day and night, i'd like to see how it is better than mobotix m12 when its only using a 1/4" ccd chip

m12 is a good option - i like the 45 degree lens over the 90 if you are trying to grab detail a bit of a distance from the camera but if everything is pretty close you could go with 90s -- id go with 4 for total coverage

Contact a local Mobotix reseller and have them give you a m24 to demo for a week so you can see if just the color/day lens will give you the image at night you require. I like the m24 over the d24(dome) because it has mic/speaker - the d24 doesn't. The only dome that has mic/speaker is the d12 and it will need the wall-mount and wont look good on a house (its a bit big and ugly in my opinion) also the m24 has the updated processor so higher frame rate at all resolutions.

Alex,

What are you using for the VMS for those cameras in the school?

yeah the 300 is a beast you can light up a football field was the only option my mfg rep in my area had but it pairs well with the m12
