Thanks for these very good points! First let me explain that the road that goes into the property actually passes right before the window with the camera, so I could aim it closer and have the license plate less than 10m away from the camera, although from a rather high angle. Mobotix lists its L135 Telephoto Lens as having 15° horizontal angle, 11° vertical angle, yielding an image width at a distance of 10 m of 2.6 x 1.9 m, that's about the width of the road in other words. Now for illumination, certainly there won't be enough in the dead of night, but if I'm not mistaken license plates are lit by the car and I'll have a couple of those garden lamps that light up when they sense movement. With 1MP and the relatively larger cells in the sensor, would that not be enough for license plate identification? Now for the cops, you are right that just the image in itself is not incriminating enough to get a conviction, but we'll know the identity of the people who stole the goods, so the rest of the proof should be forthcoming and a search warrant possible - or so we hope! live image of a m12. yes it could pic up a plate ..... not to shure about night time. on the live feed press 24hr to see recorded night view. www.mobotix.ro/ro/camere_supraveghere_live_en_2447.html

hi ELEKPO. thats not a bad little setup. but i would look at saving yourself a little money (about $200) by not using the sanyo hd3500 and look at the sanyo hd3300. same cameras except the 3500 had onboard recording via SD card. and with you using a hybrid you dont need that camera.

Hi forbus. if your dvr is on line i will install it for you. pm me your ip with a temp password. or if you open port 53 or 1053 in your router and direct that to your dvr. i will send you to the dnns software website and you can download the patch from your dvr. just one thing............. you have opened the rar files before you have tried to load onto your dvr. ???

Will this be my best option you think? i use the VDS2500 alot. it is also your cheapest option. by the time you have bought coax / power cable/ power supply. the VDS2500 comes with its own power supply to run two 12v cameras at a range of upto 1300ft. you will only need to use your coax you have as power and both videos are transmited down the one coax. plus you will also have data that can be used to switch lights or detect motion alarms.

Hi forbus. you can only add your patch from the dvr menu. click setup then system and bottom left you will see import and export click import and click were file is located i.e pen drive or disk. reboot system when done.

hi it could be its not compatable with your graphics card if you can alter graphics try that. but the card has not had updates for 3 years as it was stopped then. if you cant do anything take a look at the aver nv 3000 card which was the replacement.

so long as your happy with it thats ok.................. so what is your problem with the software ???

try is see if it works ..... http://www.averusa.com/surveillance/download.aspx

the best thing for you to do is throw the card away. no way on earth is that an avermedia product. avermedia cards are not made in china.

bigbrother are the owners if your taking of the uk company. let me ask you something can you use ip cameras bigbrothersystems LTD are not the owners and yes they are a uk company i know this because they get the cctv system software from someware else but yes i believe the software does work with ip cameras as i have set my system up so i can bring my cameras up on the internet using internet explorer just by typeing in an IP address. i take it your not a cctv guy. 1 bigbrother software is very low end. it is generic also used by a company in north wales. and a few people have been caught out with the words megerpixel system plastered all over the software.

nice place williamsburg. i lived in martinsburg for a while. if you dont want to use splitters then yes i would go to each camera with cat5 (also makes easy fault finding. with the likes of CNB you can order there range and just and utp at the end of there part number ) or you could us utp 4 way box and from there coax to your cameras.

I am trying to avoid small fans. Aside from being noisy they seem to be the #1 failure item in systems that run 24x7. That card seems like a good fit if I can't find or go with a fanless card. I found this fanless dual DVI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125328 Also the quad card I mentioned is a little spendier but would only require a motherboard with one PCIE16 slot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814195099&Tpk=100-505610 It comes with 4 mini display port to DVI dongles. looking at the cost of everything. and the problem of mixing. here is another option for you. http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=175 http://www.avermedia.com/AVerDiGi/Product/Detail.aspx?id=286

another camera in your price range is the avermedia AVerDiGi SF1311H-B ip. same features as the avtech and also has two way sound and zoom on your mouse wheel. were in europe are you. demo. username = user password = leave blank http://60.248.78.249/

if you would like something small then the sanyo 3500 HD ip is a very good camera. but i would use just 1 ip and a standard camera with good ir. and for a hybrid recorder i would look at the aver nano. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cREqwenYnFI

using auto tracking ptz on a road area will just be a waste of money. imagine putting a 3 yeay old child infront of a ptz joy stick. thats exactly how your ptz will react. every car / person / cat / dog rubbish blowing everywere. auto tracking ptzs have there place but not for traffic. you would be much better and it will save you money if you use 4 good cameras and a 4 way dvr what would your budget be. and another good money saving exercise. dont buy anything from ebay

how is the lcd getting the image up i.e vga/ com is might be better for you to record from the source than using a camera pointing at a screen.

the tills listed in the dropdown menu are for cash registers that are to be networked. if you are only using 1 till then you only need two moxas software for the moxa is pre loaded on the sa dvrs (how far is your till from dvr) part No, Moxa TCC-80 Serial Port Powered RS-232 to RS-422/485 Converter

One example is the Dahua DVR, there is no special port just for the mobile app, but it uses a sub stream instead of the main stream. the dahua / apollo range are java apps for mobile and also works with the mobile symbian platform. a true iphone app is h264 stream and only works with the iphone. rory you need to move with the times we dont use these anymore.

dont take this the wrong way. you are in the uk. and you run a cctv business. do you not have any electrical back ground are you not p certified have you not done any 16th or 17th edition courses.

hi sean. in your first post you say it was to view with iphone. 80 or 81 will not do it. it will want to load active x. No entirely, some DVRs will automatically load a second stream for such devices which do not support ActiveX. But otherwise they also tend to use special software for the mobile devices. true. he could just use a java iphone app. (refresh images) or if the dvr has a true app then it would be port relient

hi sean. in your first post you say it was to view with iphone. 80 or 81 will not do it. it will want to load active x.

if a dvr has h264 stream for a iphone app then a port has to be assigned and also forwarded to the dvr. and used in the http... not always the case with some dvrs but if it has handyviewer then a port will have to be added to the http for say iphone or java application

hi sean. port 80 would not be the problem that would be for his webviewer. and he cant use 80 for his iphone. with his other ports 5050/6050/7050 these will be for his remote software and his iphone ..... so yes you are right by just changing them by i digit each would let him see either dvr. so not using port 80 ............. it would be 76.234.587.67:5050 for 1 dvr 76.234.587.67:5051 for the other dvr

what gave you away was you talk in kilometers and we dont use that in the uk. and i dont think discusing range or type of cameras used for uk security should be made public.
