Hi. for interview rooms we use PTZ remote control units ..... only 1 would be needed in your case as they can run multi cameras at the same time. you can find them cheap............ but buy a brand name unit we have always used CNB and had no problems ... you are looking at a cost of around $65

hi do you know which DVR it is or can you post pictures

Hi only you can do that................. prices do change by amount you buy. and how many times you have bought from the supplier. its also not just a matter of ordering 20-30 cameras paying for them you also need to put some sort of guarantee in place.

going from aver to dahua. seems like going backwards. we sell both and at the moment 4 way dahua is £98. also to have control over a dahua while away you need the PSS software unlike the aver (you download from unit) going from hybrid unit to analog

Hi. yes you can have both running.. your problem is going to be PTZ with auto tracker........... it never works forget auto and look for a camera with alarm inputs then it will do its job.

shipped would be the best part of £400 ($700) sorry there are lots of 1.3 and 2mp cameras about with big names cheaper

Hi your cameras are CNB. good cameras................. but they are static cameras and not PTZ so nothing else for you to do but just plug them in.

if yor installing for yourself then you can take the risk from ebay. but if you are installing for others just buy local............. you will spend more time and effort replacing crap

its a web cam 640 x 480.................. no contest against 1.3mp................ and forget about using IR cameras

Hi take alook at the avermedia 1.3 mp camera if you are in the UK (not available in US) its around the £80 mark. runs on the aver software and remote viewing via iphone/android/ PC also has two way audio.

hi cat5 is the way to go. as for price. rg59 will run 1 camera cat5 with balun you can run 4 or more on the 1 cable.. so cat5 is cheaper

Hi all avers have hdmi now. Even the nano.

hi the aver touch is vga and also hdmi and multi monitor.

HI. dahua is a toy to the aver. and the Aliien is also very budget. take a look at the aver touch. and then you can still use your nano to expand your system

Hi. your on the old IDE drive. the problem you are going to find is they are twice the price of a Sata drive. if you can still find new. i would look for a 500. and first i would check what the max is for your DVR. but your in the position buy IDE drive or for a little more a new DVR with sata 1tb fitted

axis is done at install. so is permanent. set lens then software to turn image.... but cant change once set. if footage is to be permanent then axis is fine. ak357. sorry thought the op was asking for a camera to do both.

hi. axis or avigilon will not do what you want. field of view / corridor. will not alter the image that stays the same.

which port are you using ???

Recognition............... or snap shot

then he will have big problems................ no name brand is never good

i know you will defend your ptz. BUT your night video is not a true example of auto tracking. it lost you 3 times in a short video............... it is only because you have your laptop with you that you could reactivate the auto tracker you had to walk back into its neutral point. the part when your at your door...... you knock then start to walk away your camera returns to neutral. say if that was a intruder knocking to see if anyone is in. steps back to look at windows your auto tracker would do the same return to neutral. leaving the intruder to do what ever he need to get in your front door............. you will only pick him back up on his way to the road. without your laptop you video would have only lasted seconds. auto tracking has been around for 8 years or so and it never works.... alarm inputs do work they make the PTZ do its job and no one needs to be in field of view (which is the main problem with auto tracking subject NEEDS to be in field or view)

mobotics don't work in a club environment for a club if you mean music club .....low lights /and flashing lights then look at hybrid gives you more options for dark places and don't use anything with IR lighting.

its a forum. I take it business is slow or your new company has not taken off as expected. ....... giving advice on the forum. is world wide 80% of the posts are 3.5 to 6000 miles away from you so has no impact on your company. it does not matter if a DIYer or a PRO ..... the industry changes quick at the moment its not like 20 years ago. even a PRO needs to know about new products and instead of going out and buying everything new just to try is not a option. a forum brings all that info for free and in most cases better than a manufactures website as you get REAL sample shots of camera footage or links to new software. this will always be a problem if you sell budget systems. with the power of google customers WILL always find the true price of budget systems. does not matter how much you put on to for tech support. customers always look for the budget price. a company can not make a long time business from budget systems there is no margin in it to make a company grow. there ok as a fill in to keep engineers in a job. but its big contract systems and full PRO systems that make money. it helped you just over 18 months ago. you was a DIYer looking for help. it does look easy to start your own company but you need alot more than 18 months to understand the industry.

try and find footage of a auto track PTZ working............ you cant

Auto tracking never works plus. you have to read the warranty you will be hard pushed to find any auto track that will go 12 months warranty. if you buy a good PTZ with multi alarm inputs and use sensors like GJD. will give you the same result of auto tracking. standard PTZ will have 1-2 even 3 years warranty.
