    Pre wire jewellery store

    Hi SDM. is this a job you have done or are you being asked to just install the cables. a contractor was caught out a while ago that i know. he was asked to install a 16 camera system in a corner store but was asked to put all cables and power in 1 weekend and the cameras the weekend after. after they installed the cables the guy cancelled the order. when he went in a few days later with a bill for work done the guy had bought a cheap system from ebay. he only used him to fit the cables to make it easier for him to install his own. and wanted a discount if they are asking for you to just install the cables charge full hour rate and full price for cable BNCs and Power.

    Occupancy Sensors

    Hi. we do alot of hotels cctv wise. so we see alot of AC controls. PIR and the likes can Treble the hotels electric bills. it is cheaper to leave an AC running than stop and start (it uses alot of power just starting up) so if it does not detect all the time the cost can go up. there is a themostat for hotels were you take the room key card and insert it into the room stat (this is not a card reader) it just turns on the system via micro switch. entre room insert keycard AC on when they need to leave the room they need there card key so switches everything off.

    Lizards & Bugs Getting In Pelco SD435 Spectradome

    Hi. you can buy this in lenths just push between the 2 shrouds.
  7. hi the eco is no longer made. your dvr is the new LED D1. if they said it will work then you will have no problem sending it back under warranty. the dvr has to go back to be flashed
  8. hi. the LED does not have a firmware update its only been out for 2-months were did you get the firmware from ??
  9. Hi. if you have used 2.606.AD firmware then that is not for your dvr. its for the old eco. the dvr you have is new so no update firmware yet. you will have to send your unit back
  10. hi. you are controlling the cameras from your dvr software which is fine but on your diagram you still have the 485 connecting both (you cant) your diagram shows DVR 1 controlling 1 camera .... DVR 2 controlling 5 cameras and with the 485 link back to DVR 1 from DVR 2 why do you need this ???
  11. Hi is this your DVR ??? there are 2 apollo led 1 is qvis and another is a cheap chines DVR.

    Lots of reading to do

    Hi. FlameOut. no such thing as a dumb question. its good to do your homework first. the link you have posted are avtech DVRs. you can do better than that. the other problem with the likes of the systems from sams is the cables cheap and not much good for cameras. so i would look at buying seperate bits of equipment i.e DVR / cameras / power unit. and buy a reel or RG59 with power. you cant go wrong with a 4 way dahua DVR and pick cameras for your surroundings internal or external.
  13. hi. CNB box cameras are a good price. ZBN-20Z18/ZBN-21Z18
  14. hi. you would still not get control from another dvr. DVR 1 you set up your settings for control of the camera... so as when you click on the camera you can use the onboad controller to zoom. so if you then move to DVR 2 and you want to control the same camera you cant it is not in the DVR settings. 485 is out only (transmit) so you have 2 DVRs and 2 monitors. you can do it with the mace but you would need to go 2 DVRs to PC with monitor and use mace CMS.

    cameras on a helicopter??

    hi. i have not done a helicopter but have done UAVs. about 2 years ago we were invited to view a new police helicopter via one of our suppliers. just a few points to look at before you quote. you are looking at over 100k - 200k just in camera // zoom/giro/ thermal / GPS location / microwave /stability control / and a few million candle power light (mirror camera position) and if you get that far you then have to have the helicopter manufacturer or avionics engineer fit it. which is about another 20k. everything added to a helicopter is self powered . nothing is taken from the aircraft.

    hi. you are best using port 5550. and you would use your local as http:// your ip:5550
  20. either use a controller next to your dvrs or if your system has a CMS software that will give you all cameras with control. what make are your DVRs. to set it up as your diagram will not help as you would still need to log into the DVR to see the camera you want to control.

    Hi, I need your help, please.

    wireless cameras are not good to use. 500m is not a problem if you use Cat5 cable. what will your budget be
  24. tomcctv

    Hi, I need your help, please.

    how many cameras do you think you need ?? how big is the area to cover . (can you get all cables to one location)
  25. tomcctv

    Hi, I need your help, please.

    Hi. it also depends on the size of the area you want to cover. this depends on your budget analog will also fit your needs if you want to use both analog and MP ip then hybrid is also a way to go. this is a function on most systems and if you buy a system with good CNS software thats better. mobile viewing is not a problem either
