you will see lots of installs like that. (camera and junction box) you even see installers doing it with full body cameras (guess they never thought about just running cables direct to housing) but on small cameras where you cant do the cable termination inside the camera then a JB next to the camera is an option.

HI. your problem is two differant methods of PTZ control. your existing is Coaxitron. and your joystick. if you are just replacing your old PTZ for the new one. then just replace the joystick controller (no rs485) if you are looking at using both then you can get a converter to run your new camera. but adding a second joystick is much cheaper.

to be fair that is an old artical before WDR was used in ip

Hi. no you should be ok with baluns at DVR end with the Transceiver. if your cables dont exceed the limit distance.

Hi sorry my fault i just think everyone uses QR readers. you can load a free reader from here . http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/13962

Hi. emholic. i think you have started a good topic which is not just limited to the americas. in the UK this has also just started to be a discusion. wifi-ip-wireless being the main problems of the future for CCTV. we have just seen the report on the hurricane that hit parts of america (you can read on google) NY did a network shut down in parts of the city (to stop others broadcasting from the likes of traffic land street cams) this also blocked out the likes of femma who wanted to monitor parts of the city. the same thing happend at JFK airport 2 years ago. in a training exercise when the airport goes on high alert things like wifi and network shut down. and JFK found that this also shut down 43% of there IP cameras. that is on a big scale. but you also have to look at the little stores or homes that use offsite recording. the same will happen there. Fiber. will always be around and can be addapted to any transmision. wifi and external network. works but can be switched off by a source you have no control over. coax and local network. is the safest no third part to shut down (except power company) but still always best to have local recordings on every system

scan the code with your BB and follow direction. this is for the lite.

Hi Jack is this for your other post (resturant) just in cost alone of that Transceiver . will buy all baluns and 600m of cat5. remember you can get 4 video inputs on 1 cat5

many cameras are now built with baluns inside and only use a RJ45 connector. are your cameras just on the house with nothing going to them.??? any cables going to a location in the house ??

seems like a lot of bother when a controller is only $30 -$40 and it stays on the dvr end so you can adjust any time. http://www.hunters-trade.co.uk/product_thumb.php?img=productimages/zrc.jpg&w=130&h=117

you can buy a controller for that camera. but if you dont do much samsung work it might be better to see if your supplier can rent you one. its called SCX-RD100 controller.

looking at the TVT spec. for most of there units they have a MAX of 2tb also are you recording motion ?? D1 30fps x 5 = 1 month you would just about get that at CIF.

Hi. done alot of the CNBs and not had a night image like that. its more of a interference than noise. how have you connected the camera ? are you on coax or cat5 i have seen something like this before on a call out were the installers used 2 pair of cat5 for video (which give the same effect) sould always use 1 pair for video and the rest for power. (if on 1 camera) might be a little work. but swap both your cameras around and see what you have.

not quite illegal yet. but is only sold with a court order to use. company must be registered and have a court refferance. cant be used around domestic homes. it has been band by some councils around the country. the mosquito has its place but people started installing the system in shopping centers (all they had in mind was to move on loitering teens) which also had effect on teens just out shopping

we have used flux for years. this unit comes with belt holder and you can also change the tip ends for crock clips. volts AC/DC - AMPS - OHMs

hi. using TCP you can still get more than 31days of files. if you wanted you could get the geo to write pos files to and external drive. just remember to untick delete pos data after so many days on your geo

Samsung looks the best .... nice test Sean

Probably correct. The manufacturer (Nuvico) told me the same thing. They said the iris controller has gone bad. Oddly, one of the malfunctioning cameras works perfect some days and is washed out on other days. I wish it would just outright die or work 100%, but life is never that simple. another test you can do, is disconnect 1 camera and see how you get on with just running 3 (this will tell if you have problems with amps)

Hi. yes you have the right idea. you just need to set a port for each dvr. DVR1 11.11.11.111: 5555 DVR2 11.11.11.111:5556 which ever port number you give to each DVR ip in your router settings.

hi 015lux is colour when you set up the camera for night you have settings to set for the enviroment the camera is in so B/W you would use the Sense Up setting On / Off (Selectable limit x 2 ~ x512) which when the camera has gone true day night you can set the lux down to 0.2

the other thing to look at ..... if you are using 12 5amp with 4 cameras that are over 1amp running you still could have a power problem if you have long cable runs

hi John. you will find using another port other than 80 will solve your problem. set it to 83 and see what happends. you will also need to set the port you use in your router port forwarding to your NVR just had a look at the setup manual ports you need are 1025 and 65535 and you use 80 for local only

to be honest this is a bad idea your service team alone is going to have to be massive to the point your service team wage bill is going to cost much more than what you can generate from your customers. in a small town you are going to have cameras going down every day. running an off site recording for IP cameras has always had problems and it will give you more problems if you cant give your customers the service. you do need recording at each site (not from a SD card in a camera) you can Guarantee it will of over write by the time you get to it if the internet has gone down or ip has changed. but at least if each site has NVR or dvr recording you have not let your customers down. which is the service you intend to set up, a central monitoring station for a small town

we always use 3g/4g from netgear. since networks do both. dont buy just a 3g

Hi, cant even find a true spec for it. i was going to call it cheap. but thats another thing i cant find out the price between all the companies that have it listed is between $400 and $3.400. but if a company cant list a true spec then take the D1 and its viewing res and not the true recording RES. lots of companies sell as true D1 they just leave out of there spec sheet if that viewing or recording and on most you are recording CIF. or a low D1 frame rate
