thats a lot of money for a ptz with fixed IR waste of money. you would be better just buying two good IR cameras than that.

others post ebay links. so i should think so . if you can see your gate from your house (15m) then yes it would be best installing the camera on your house looking over your gate. when looking for IR cameras remember to add the distance you need i.e 15m plus hight 5m = 20m so look for a camera with 25-30m IR range. one camera we did use last year we connected to a intercom system. it watched over the drive until the intercom button was pressed then it would zoom in to the intercom then 20s later it would return to watching the drive.

Hi tops. with you just needing 4 camera system i would use a wired system. what systems have you been looking at. also a intercom system is not that hard to convert to have a camera attached .......... were are you in the uk

Hi tops. one thing i would say is stay away from ebay and maplins. just a waste of money. as far as a static ip no you dont need one you could just set-up a ddns account. but see first if you can get a static from your isp. if you have your intercom at your entrance then you can add a camera to your system

qnap 2008 will only let you view over WAN you can only play recorded files over LAN.

you might have a problem with the Q-see ddns i would change to another http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ to reboot just pull the plug.

there used to be a few companys that used to charge by the year i.e bigbratt. the problem with this type of software is you are going to be paying all the time for licence updates and licences. if you just have 4 cameras just change your card and software ...... to something that you own.

looks like you will need to buy a new licence. do you know how much a licence is ??? there website says. ..Changes to your PC hardware or re-installing the operating system may invalidate your registration because the hardware IDs have changed and the PC is no longer recognized. Center Link International accepts no responsibility for the invalidation of registration codes due to system changes. It is highly recommended that your PC setup be completely finalized before registering the software

Hi with being sky you have two options ask them for a static ip if your with BTsky this has a 1 off charge of £15 or you will need to set-up a ddns account no point setting your WAN till this has been done.

in your dvr settings res/fps image quality to the lowest and see if you get images when you log back on.

if you have connected the dvr up to a router. then just go into network settings and find what the local ip is.

there is nothing better that a pen and a pad and a digital camera. you can spend hours messing with software to give to your protential customer who will also give a copy of your hard work to another company to quote and you might not even get the work.

this may help. but if you need footage off your unit quick i would connect it up to a video recorder. remember these only have small H/D and while you have it switched on you could overight the footage you need or you need to switch off auto record as soon as you can. ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/pub/Panasonic/cctv/OperatingInstructions/WJ-HD300AOp%20ManualAddendum.pdf

not the pelco set-up but this camera. http://www.videcon.co.uk/product_details.php?StockID=1137&

Hi Nav. what make of router are you using and who is you isp.

the price is the problem 3k but no running costs

Hi for the distance of 150ft you are going to need powered rs232 - rs485. for $50 i would go for the moxa.

two options wind power or if you can replace battery once a week with a rapid deploy ptz. like this 3g with no airtime costs http://www.videcon.co.uk/product_details.php?StockID=1137&

what size is your power supply and how many amps is it. 15m should not give you any image problems so you need to look at other things like what cable are you using. did you make your own or did you use lead kits

the green one is your power for the camera. and the yellow is just a little test lead so as you can focus and set your camera while at the camera end. (you remove it before you replace the camera cover.

Hi which dvr do you have and have you done all the ports in the router ??

Hi if you are looking at setting up a cental monitoring station. then you need to look at the legal side of things first. it not a good idea to take full control of your customers camera. without having some sort of recording at there home.

Hi caribsecure. it just seems to be a lot of work that is not neeed. you would have to put your customers system over the internet anyway so your customers only need to log into there systems direct. is this something you will be charging for.

http://www.zoneminder.com Well, ZoneMinder is free, and so is manual review of the captured footage. If/when I go to automated capture, I'll be developing the software myself as a ZoneMinder plug-in. There is at least one open source ANPR package I can use as a starting point. But all that is beside the point; regardless of what kind of camera is feeding the images into the system, the back end hardware and software (and their costs) are going to be the same. dvarpala. this is a subject that always gets to me. when people say thay want to build there own ANPR system. ANPR is a database system and you have to be licenced to use it. are you looking to catch number plates or are you looking for a true ANPR system.
