Anyone have the specs for this AC adaptor? It would be used with the Sanyo VCB-3524 camera.

I read somewhere else that these files aren't really mp4 files, and are just some proprietary format. This "player" .exe they supply is really annoying since the window size will change on its own.

I read somewhere else that these files aren't really mp4 files, just that the dvr manufacturer calls them that. This "reader" .exe that they supply is really annoying.

So if I rename the .mp4 to .avi I can play it with something? QuickTime player cannot play it even if I change the extension to .api I am downloading Handbrake 0.10.5 For Mac I tried using it but it doesn't accept either .mp4 or files that were .mp4 that I changed the extension to .api, also there are no instructions on how to use the free product. All I see is Source No Valid Source Found.

I have a GE Security DVR which records mp4 files. These play on Windows using a supplied program, but can the files be converted to a standard format playable on a Mac or other devices?

Wow, this is just too tough. I want to copy all the files from 3 days but all I can see to do is put a bunch of check marks on files (maximum of 30 at a time) and copy like an hour at a time. That's just ridiculous. Is there some way to access the hard drive directly somehow? How do other people handle this?

Does anyone know how I can playback video any faster than 4X on the GE DVR 10? I need to review 3 days of activity to determine who may have shot at one of my windows.

I've been using regular video cables with RCA connectors, but is it possible to use coaxial cable instead? My house is pre-wired with coaxial cable so this would be an easy way to obtain the video from my surveillance cameras. Due to some vandalism in the back yard I need to setup a camera to cover that area now which will require a long cable run of some kind, or a 2nd DVR that I don't want to buy right now. Too many other bills.

Turned out the wire needed to be more sturdy for it to lock in. It's kind of like back wiring an electrical socket. I'll be testing the camera later today or tomorrow now that I've got a power supply for it.

Is this pretty much a dead website now? I don't see how to create new threads, so that's what I'm thinking.

Well, it appears I've forgotten how to start a new thread so I'll just add on to this one. Anyone know how to connect the 24VAC to this camera (Sanyo VCC-6574A). The connections on back are different. I can find any kind of owner manual on line either.

Are 1/4" image sensors lower quality than 1/3", and do they use the same size lenses. Seems like all the lenses are 1/3" Is there such a thing as a 1/4" lense? I've just noticed my current cameras have 1/2" image sensors, but that all my lenses are 1/3" Am I using the wrong lenses? They seem to work ok, but maybe I'm losing something.

I've purchased a 2nd one of this same make/model camera. Can I connect both using the same power supply, or should I get a 2nd power supply for the other camera? And does anyone know if the camera mounts are standard things I can buy somewhere? The ebay seller neglected to include this part that normally comes with the camera, but that is typical of ebay sellers.

When playing back video recorded at night the picture doesn't look as good as what the camera shows directly. Looks like video artifacts. Like plants blowing around in the wind. How can I minimize this effect? I tried increasing the bit rate but that didn't seem to make any difference at all.

Thank you. I'll check into it when the unit arrives.
