based in UK. pm your area and i will send you a local supplier.

sorry i thought the thread was WHY not cost or application.

in that case biwave is what you need ...... we carrie a few and have used lots with no problem. 2 video / power / data and audio. everything comes with power supply just order 12 or 24v which ever supports your camera. and there not that expensive.

and also the old samsung were only 7volt from the monitor. the old samsung cameras are only 240 tvl for the time in sorting out new power ... dvr and cameras even just going for a kit will save you time. take a look at the dahua 4 way and dahua budget cameras and install new cat5

if you have not paid much for your cameras. then you will not have spent enough on baluns. do you have True cctv baluns or are you using these from ebay. i know ebay list them as baluns but there not. also if baluns how many pairs are you using ???

Hi. at the end of the day its technology that changes it was not all that long ago we all had one of these. did its job and would still do its job if you had one today but very limited in quality. now we can all record just like the big movie makers. record what you actually see with your eyes. Analog. is limited to Pal or NTSC in size take PAL max 576 lines ..... this is why you will see a lot of forum post saying dont go over the top on specs with 600-700 tvl most of the time its just sales. nothing wrong with analog if a full D1 DVR ...... some state D1 as just live viewing but only record in CIF as you can see from image above CIF has a max of 288 lines which is screen size in the PAL or NTSC world but when it comes to looking at cameras you will find analog listed as NTSC 352 × 240 and PAL 352 × 288 which is the actual picture size. try and fill screens of today means you stretch the image which leaves you nothing if you want to zoom or edit to get a better image. D1 NTSC 720 × 480 or PAL 720 × 576 is the standard screen size max for analog and this is the least you want to look for in a analog system. going MP megapixel give a much more better quality image analog being 576 (pal) max were as MP (3mp) gives 1536 lines. or higher now with 5mp ........ this gives a a high res crisp and clear image and for the first time allows you to zoom in to footage before it becomes destorted

soundy. you should see gas prices here. £6 a gallon thats $14 for 1 gallon

Hi dman that will change when using zoneminder. 200 homes to protect needs a good system you are going to be limited with a linux based PC. sounds like you work with linux but does not mean you have to build a system with it. 200 homes to protect it needs to to its job. look at windows based. you will have much more options even going hybrid (analog and IP) or look for already built standalone hybrids

Hi. nothing wrong with the camera ..... its just not in its working range. the hight of the camera is ok but the Reg-x only has a max view of 19 feet. you are well past that. then you also have another problem. as seen here. not only is the plate out of range you are also trying to capture as it is being moved up and down with the vehicle moving over the speed bump. and also like said before CIF is best for these cameras at max fps and not on motion

hi as well as IP input you may find the subnet needs changing ...... your camera may be 255.255.255.255 change this to 255.255.255.0 on the camera.

hi any camera around 560tvl will do. dont get caught up in 700 or 900 tvl camera specs its all sales pitch.

hi yes its variable. well its not so much the cameras as how good the controller is and its also found on good DVRs

hi. could just be a broken cable (video) intermittent with movement of elevator. (most common fault with lifts) what type of cable have you used ??

hi. that will be a mistake. send everything back. dont loose money anymore

fantastic ...... you pay for a brand new DVR RMA it and they send you a refurb (which they have listed on ebay) for half the price. dont give them a 3rd chance. 8 way dvr with cameras for $400 dont exist i would say get your money back and start fresh. $400 for a system sounds good ....... but if it does not work or when you need it most find out you have no footage then $400 turns into a waste of money. start of with a new 8 way DVR a brand name and then add cameras as and when your budget allows. it wont take long to have a full system built. spend some time on the forum pick up ideas on cabling baluns cat5 cameras DVRs and you will build yourself a good system.

yes low latency....... only in live view. as far as FPs goes that depends on the recorder and out of the 3 makes in a demo today not 1 could get over 15fps and 1 unit could only do that if you changed from 1080 to 720. the cable lenth problem of 100m can be extended at each 100m with repeaters but at a stupid price. a 4 way HD-SDI with cameras and a few extenders falls way within the price of a avigilon system. and its always going to be at the back of your mind........ the cost of spares. and loan units

hi. then you dont have the 674B ..... can you post a picture of your board

yes you can give it a go. but still not 100% fix it depends on the firmware you tried to load. the wrong region could wipe your units software.

hi flyby. can you give more info ....... did your unit just stop working or have you tried doing a firmware and now have boot problems. first test with avtech is to remove hard drive and mouse then see if it reboots.

Hi. gazz. aver NV 5000 card will do what you want and more. if you have a touch screen everything can be done on screen. even your PTZ ..... you just put finger on screen move finger left or right and your PTZ moves with it. these cards come with TV output. again with symbian you have full control of ptz but with symbian (java) you only get 1 screen at a time but has quick screen change. if you want a ip to try on your mobile PM me.

Norbain. have never been the uk biggest distributor. norbain UK is only a small part of the norbain group. norbain did the same in 2000, with Baxall and again in 2005. and again last friday ...... they close there doors saturday and sunday and trading again monday morning. this means all depts to the likes of panisonic/ sony/ axis/ mobotix dont exist. suppliers owed money they will never see. the best thing to do is not buy from any norbain companies

hi. it depends on what you call cheap. you dont need to use IP cameras if you are on a budget. for the area you are covering in each Kennel lots of standard DVR will do what you need. you just need to setup some admin rights >>> USER name >>>> admin password >>>> kennel 1. ..... will only allow user access to cam 1 kennel 2 .... cam 2 and so on. one thing to look out for is the number of logon users the DVR allows and a DVR that allows you to enter a lenth of time a customer can logon for. just so as they dont stay on 24/7 you can make them re-log back in but yes it can be done at a good cost. the aver nano 8 is a good start. but i would say look at the aver nano 16. if you are going to the expence have 8 other cameras protecting your business.

hi. its an old TVT unit also sold as q-see or sams. not sold anymore. only CIF quality ...... worth about $50

sorry. yes i thought you was going analog with you posting the lead kits. if you are looking at ip then cat5 is needed to locations of cameras. as for the Vivotek IP8332. this is only a 1mp camera (budget camera with high price) always look for 1.3mp and above

hi. yes you will need to go vga ................ is your monitor close to your dvr ??? also if you go vga on a good monitor you will see the quality .... even much better than your old avtech
