hi. axis is full PTZ so cant compair them both even with the mobotix PT unit the axis will proform alot better. a good camera for web casting and remote monitoring applications is the sony SNC-RZ25N and is cheaper than the others. live links to play with for both the M12 (not on PT head) and the sony (full ptz) sent via PM. as you will see the sony is outstanding over the network live

hi. pc or windows based standalone units can be made to talk with each other 1 -2 - lots of units can all be called together with 1 software also with 42 cameras you need a good display at least two 42inch for that many cameras

hi a 42 cam system is going to take some building and a high price. i would look at 2 x 32 or 16 & 32 system linked together it will be much more reliable

hi. you do need baluns at both ends. no point using just 1.

then like soundy says something is odd. so i would start to look at the simple things. the lead you have is it right i.e video to centre pin ground to outer ...... is ground connected. you may just have a faulty lead. and also have you set colour settings on tv. do you have another tv or lead to test on. or just a portable DVD player with video in just to test.

hi you should have no problem connecting to C yellow video in.

or you could go component to VGA on your dvr with 1 on these.

hi. can you post a pic of the connections on your tv ........... you need to have a yellow video in rca. some also need 3 RCAs (red green blue) for video which will not work for you.

hi. very good cameras (they are plastic housing) good for shop areas but i would look at vandal housings around your cash - till - entry exit and outdoor areas. good priced cameras with the samsung winner 5 chip set

hi what might be seen as masking might just be a region problem. your software with reloading might have gone back to factory settings so you may have to tell your card which region you are. PAL or NTSC

hi try setting your stream settings lower. try cif. if you have all set high then you will have problems with internet connection.

Wait until you hear the price... two cameras - 1 microphone - 1 speaker - LED lights - PIR sensor built in recording all in one is not going too look as ugly as if you mounted everything seperate. and as far as price 8 x foscams = mobotix

yes it will do. i would also surgest not using ir for your setup (your camera is too high) if you need to identify person's face. a good camera with a cheap dvr is not a good match. you need to be looking at a 50mm lens low light camera. or record direct to your pc and use 3mp ip camera.

hi. as well as a camera you are going to need a way to record. what is your budget. ?

hi. sounds like you have a port problem. having to refresh sounds like you are using Java stream (you will also be getting a small image)

hi. units that old you will have problems with connections to modern equipment. you need to know the data setup. you could be spending more in data boxes it depends also on how much you are going to be paying 3k at that time was the going rate but over time camera res has gone up alot so dont expect to get images as you do from PTZs of today. what will you be using them with dvr type. do you want to move them remotly over network

hi. you can see from the design of the camera what your problem is. way too many IRs just as a test cover all your IRs up with tape and see what its like tonight.

sounds like a job for Garfield the cat. 8wcFOcyPzfQ

hi. take a look at Direct Burial cat5 (self seals) on detection of water and its only a few $ more than standard cat5 long term yes cat5 is much better you can do much more with it.

hi rubixs. your dvr is a old avtech. you need to load this onto your pc then open your file. http://downloads.rhinoco.com.au/products/dvr4chsov5h264/dvr4chsov5h264-remoteclient-setup-0.1.1.4.exe you cant open your files with other software and with you being in the UK you cant use any editing software if you need it for court use.

did you see the quality of both the image and audio (its also 2 way audio) ideal cameras for your needs. Take a look at night time ............... you can switch on IR from push switch on left of software.

hi. if you are running cables then i would use analog cameras over the foscam (you in the same price range as CNB). but you would need a dvr . what sort of area are you looking to cover. for low bandwidth and a good camera is the mobotix M12 is a very good camera for a gated area. i will PM you a ip address of a M12. have a play zoom resolution and alarms also login at night and see how it is in low light ............ its cheaper than 8 foscams and setup.

hi sounds like a old type controller in which case you need to terminate either via dip switch or resistor. which controller are you using ??

hi you will need a PC ... have you bought and installed the foscams ??? like has already been said a good local network is going to be needed. your cams are wifi which is going to be a problem by itself. are you going to power the cameras from 1 location ?? i wish you had found this forum before you bought cameras. ...... foscams are standard cameras with added wifi. if you use IP MP you will find you can get your camera count down to 2 or 3 cameras if you are just monitoring security gates.

Why *wouldn't* I want to have access to the settings of the camera without climbing a ladder? Isn't part of the point of making the OSD remotely accessible to USE it? it depends on which CNB camera you have. but OSD is used for setup once set thats it. which camera do you have ?
