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.

buying 8 and being able to view all together you will be a bit limited. you would be better off using 2 x 16 way dvrs. you can get dvrs that link together so you still only need 1 monitor and works just like having a 32 way

looking up marketing ............. frightning.

i dont see how cctv is used for market reseach. cctv is usefull in many ways not just to catch the bad boys. it can also help protect your company in many ways. say in a warehouse. you have a member of staff playing around on a folklift truck it hits a rack system that falls onto someone and kills them. without cctv it would be hard to say if it was a a bad rack system that caused the death or an idiot on a forklift truck. if you have a shop selling liquor. you have an age restriction. the police call to your store and say they have just talked with a 14 year old down the street drinking beer he says he bought from your store. without cctv you are going to have a hard time proving he did not buy it from your store. you just look at cctv being a secound set of eyes watching 24/7

No adds pay for adds someone got out of the wrong bed. crirvine. look to your left and see under partners on this page.

this is a good replacement for a avtech. http://www.averusa.com/surveillance/productdetail.aspx?id=136

John. its 10 years old you are also going to need firmware. you can buy a good dvr card for $80 . but good luck anyway.

Hi johnyp. looking back on your posts you have been stung by Ebay twice. ok stuff is cheap IF IT WORKS if it does not work then you have wasted your money and you have done that twice. ok you have bought a 1 channel DVR. 1 channel dvrs are cheap enough to buy new and not have the problems you are having. here is the manual for your dvr. if the username and password have been changed from factory then dont waste any more money on a 10 year old dvr. http://www.eneo-security.com/mall/2/assets/manual/71864_en_man.pdf

would it not just be better to use the Avtech CMS . http://www.avtech.com.my/files/AVTech_CMS_Manual.pdf

you will also need to set up the baud rate on both your dvr and the ptz 9600 on both. and you will also need to set the address of your ptz i.e 001.

you have your power and video set up but you also need to get the data cables connected which are 485A and 485B your problem is going to be your recorder the sentient dont all have ptz controls on board also if yours is from maplins it will only have a 250 H/Drive installed and using a ptz with 3 other cameras you will get about two days recording. the VCL ptz is old some you could change the protocol and some had to get data from a VCL data box and then a controller. does your dvr look like this

we see lots of trailer temp units here in the uk and yes if done right they make good money. but you should never use fixed cameras (only to look over the trailer base you should use them) lets say you use 5 VBB-31VF everytime you go to set your trailer up you will be up and down with your mast for hours getting it right. then someone will ask can you train a camera on something for a short time at an event oooops down comes your mast again. also at that hight you are not going to get a good range to get a face shot and also when building mobile units less is best. using 5 cameras and a dvr you also have power problems. you are not to far away with your idea of a mobotix camera. 1 Q24 external will cover far more than 5 CNB cameras and will also be much easier to power. just while typing this i have come up with a good idea for a system 1 Q24 steel external 1 CNB 33x zoom PTZ all mounted 25ft controlled by the new aver 1004 nano onto a wireless router and controll everything with a IPAD

Hi your dvr will not come with a factory ip address it collects it from your router. you are best connecting your dvr up to a monitor and switching off DHCP and re entre your ip 192.168.1.10. if you dont do this then you will need to do all your ports on your router to get your remote mobile viewing.

Hi chris. no one is wrong. we all learn on here. http://hs-tcl.com/400fps.html just sent you a pm i need help .

Sorry, I do not agree. Consider this, go to a software vendor and say this is project, and guess which software they will design into the project? Go to a camera manufacturer and guess which camera will be suggested as being the best fit for the application? From the brief description of the requirement I could make a good guess at which systems might be appropriate given 20 odd years exprience in large complex CCTV systems, but I would not offer an opinion until the full operational requirement was devloped. Otherwise the guess that would be made would almost certainly not be appropriate to the end user's needs. My suggestion is that you need a good independent consultant to ensure you will not be embarassed. Ilkie sorry ilkie. i have known you a long time but sorry not a consultant. i was in london last week with a company who also brought in a consultant he was usless ..... and had never installed in his life. sorry i think a true consultant is a guy who has been on the tools most of his life and is getting to old to get up the ladder. someone who has been through everything not a guy who just reads spec sheets. and this type of install is not down to the customers needs it down to the state regulations and the stricked codes. from what i can remember from working in west virginia everything is linked together accsses control / cctv / face recognition / and body scan this is why i said Avigilon. they have been the leaders of this type of equipment for some time now even in the uk they are helping companys win contracts at airports because they have a system that does everything
