tomcctv

so a company comes to you with a big budget for cctv and you sell them a paint ball gun. so were is the protection in that. car damage / theft / identification / protection.

yes i think you are right. but thats only because you dont answer questions. have you ever used beams for alarm detection ? do you agree no name equipment can cost more money to put right without warranty but this is just out of curiosity. why do they never install ???

to have alarm notification outside can be very unreliable at the best of times. to the point that it is switched off. optex beams is a good reliable option. unlike redwall pir (owned by optex) which some companies use are good for indoor open space or for switching lights on. and beams are cheaper than redwall in price. why is this. did you not have the right equipment or did you talk your customer out of having cctv. how can recommending good quality warranted equipment be classed as brand marketering. let just put a small system together by everything from corner store 4 cameras 1 dvr power monitor ...... 2 cameras go down after a month. who is going to pay the cost to put it right ???

the problem then will be ip would become a plug and play box system. ok in a way it is but that should just be for home use. just like the new dahua plug and play hybrid no switch or hub and poe from nvr/dvr

i think comming onto forum with a $5k budget for an 8 camera system gives it away. thats the only reason i brought it up. only to say you get good warranty does not count ... your not a manufactura. that is a service that you provide just like every company on here

standardization. whould that be a good thing. no not at all. why have every company working from the same page. will that include pattents on new tech mix and match is a good thing with ip. are you telling me your supplier will do the VMS or NVR and cameras but not allow othe manufacture of cameras to use there product. he will have problems selling that.

point me out a good camera. with good tech and returns policy and 3 years warranty. post the spec

thats simple when it has no-name were can you get support or a good return policy. no-name is a bin job if it fails. which is bad for the install company and bad for your customer.

80% of no name brands are from china

Got one here customer payed $35 camera and 3in screen big load of rubbish

sorry if its CCTV you are looking for then yes talk to a cctv guy nothing wrong with brand names. much better back-up and a true warranty. ok they may cost a little more than brown box cameras from china. but with using brand names by a cctv installer or seller is they do know the limits of the camera and it will do its job for that area to protect. why not give your location they are many on here from canada and there are many places you can buy from in canada saves you importing (if you dont know cctv then you dont know what your importing)

nice one mate. I must have been looking for custimer support on tehir IK based website tech support is country based. if you are in america or canada then the above is ok if not you will need to find the closest to you.

good little cheap 1.3mp camera with sound software to record/ send alerts wireless or wired. http://www.aver.com/Surveillance/Product/Detail.aspx?id=227

you can go upto 12v 5amp if you wished. your cameras will only draw what they need. but you still have the problem of your cable i would not up grade your power without doing your cable the power supply 19 volts .... has nothing to do with your cameras it just the dvr power.

what camera are you looking at adding. also there was an avers ip patch released in may with 42 more added

no your not right. lead kits are rubbish. you have cheap wire going to a phono then to a phono to BNC at both ends of your cable. lots of connections best not used on 1 cable run. then the cable not good for video and the powerside to small .............. cut a power plug off and see how easy it is to snap a bit off with your finger. were are you located. do you have a cctv supplier you could take a camera to to test ??? you can do it yourself but you would need some good coax BNC crimp tool and also know how to fit it. and also a good power unit.

hi beams dont detect motion. works by braking beam

no not copy. your dvr will be fine. you have budget cameras and budget dvr. but you are linking everything to gether with cheap nasty cable and power unit. RG59 i have seen over 10 years old still working the lead kits you get with budget i have seen the ends pull of as you get them out of the box. you may have hit your cable with hammer while cliping or cliped the wire to tight and damaged the cheap lead kit.

what i would do is change all BNC connectors. you could have a bad ground on 1 or 2 of the cameras. what happends if you start to plug a camera one at a time into dvr ??? also seen this on 16 way power supply were it had a bad neutral to some cameras (bad solder on board) and the camera is picking it up though BNC

if it can go back then yes i would. if you break the system up all you have bought is a dvr and 4 cameras. lead kits and cheap power units alway need slinging in the bin. have you tride to take footage off the dvr. also try that.

not a slip of the tongue ill stand by it. cameras to be used at alert motion back to dvr to send report or alert does not work hence why i said beams. also beams are more reliable than PIR (which give the same problem false alarms)
