Looks like a Dahua 1.3mp dome, you can get it for less at here: http://www.marscctv.net/productDetail.php?catalog=209&id=781

 

I personally just mounted it on the wall, but as far as I know they don't have a specific wall mount for that thing.

Just recently installed 32 of them at a business. Mounted them to junction box's in conduit for the exterior of the building. Only thing I didn't like about them is the cheap plastic around case around the eye.

No clue on what a Cantex or Royal box is, but some pictures would have been nice

They are just square junction box's found at HD or Lowes. Google it!!!

LOL, an IP camera with two audio inputs, so it will "isolate" one from the other.

 

You have been watching too much CSI. Good luck with that.

HAHAHA... Good one.

Sounds like you need a WAYYYYY bigger budget. If you want to run 4 HDD @ 3TB each will run you $500-$600 alone.

I have ran into the same problem with the Cantex brand box's. Depending on how you are getting the Cat5e into the box I use commercial grade clear caulk around the box to mounting surface, Cat5e into the box, and on the cover. I don't even both using there cheap gasket any more. In some cases I have also used it on the camera base onto the cover, usually cheap cameras. Also make sure that the notch on the camera base is facing down. As for the rusted out pigtail you are SOL. There is no possible way to get a new one for a replacement, I have tried with no luck. Only solution is replace the camera. Hope this helps.

Sorry for the late reply. Sold on ebay a while ago.

I have installed a few of these and the 1.3 mp. They have veri-focal lens on them. Looks like it needs to be fine tuned a bit. Double check your setting using the web GUI. Also check if you have the newest firmware on it. They just posted a new one on there web site. Good Luck

Dr, do you have a link to the firmware. Their sites search function doesn't seem to be working.

Just go to the camera you have and it is located at the bottom of the description.

Up for sale are 2 Dahua IPC-HDW2100 1.3 MP IP Dome surveillance cameras with 3.6 mm lens. They are used with no damage to them. They where used for about 90 days indoors at a site but replaced with vandal domes per customer request. They have been factory reset and tested using a PoE switch and are guaranteed not to be DOA. These have the latest firmware update on them as well. Selling them for $250 Shipped for both. Paypal only. I will send you an invoice. Message me if interested or have any questions.

All of the commercial grade PoE switch's have an allowance of 15.4 watts per port. Use 2-24 port GBE and 1-4 port GBE Zyxel PoE switch's with RJ-45 SFP's to tie the network together. This way it will be a gigabit network. 50 IP camera's is alot so gigabit will def speed it up. I have done it on a 32 channel setup and works alot faster than the first switch's I installed. Good Luck!!!

You can also take the camera apart and have it powder coated. I have done this on a job that required the cameras to be the color of the home. It blended in well. You can't even notice the home has camera's installed.

No input? Figured someone has run into this problem in the field. Guess I will just have to use trial and error.

I am doing a job next week where 3 of the 16 existing cameras at a property are wired using RG6 coax cable with a security cable 20 AWG wire for power. I need to extend the wire and was wondering if I could use f connectors on both the rg6 and rg59 and use a standard barrel connector to connected them for video? Will it affect the Picture quality? Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

For sale are 2 NEW analog 700 tvl box camera's with lens.One of the lens is 2.8-12mm the other is 3.5-8.0mm. These where extras from a large installation I did last month and don't need them.

Used a mic just like that with a IPC-HFW3200C. You will need to run a rg-59 Siamese with rg-59 f connections on both sides from the mic to the cam's audio in and also you will need to hook up the power to a power source as the camera will not power it.

No audio, you may have misread. This is what it says on the Costco website (3 times) -

 

• NVR supports one audio channel (audio cameras or microphones not included)

• Video: 1 HDMI Output, 1 VGA output, 1 BNC output/Audio: 1BNC (Audio mic/cameras not included)

Audio: 1BNC (Audio mic/cameras not included)

So the NVR will accept 1 audio input from a camera that supports audio input?

According to Costco's website it says they have an audio input with the ones that come with the NVR. Is that true?

RG6 is desiged for UHF RF signals not composite cctv signals

I've used it before from the DVR spot monitor output to a LCD TV with a BNC fitting on one end and a RCA on the other to the composite input of the TV. Quality wasn't bad but do you think it will affect the picture quality of the camera's to the DVR?

Great. By the way, did you feel the "shaking" the other day from the earthquake off the coast?

Nope I'm located in the most Northern part of So Cal.

Also what if I go from the RG-59 to RG-6 dual shield?

If it was me and didn't want to deal with BNC to couple the extension to, I would just use F59 connectors and F81 barrel connectors, as I've never had an issue with them.

 

Dennis

That sounds like a good idea. I use the F81 barrels on my satellite installs all the time with no problems. Guess ill pick up some F59 connectors.

well the rack is 15 feet away from where the old CPU based DVR is located now and I need to rack mount the new stand alone DVR about 15 feet away from there to the rack. If the wires where already at the rack I would not need to extend them.

Hi

I'm upgrading a system at a property that already has 16 cameras using RG59 Siamese cabling. The power supply and DVR are in 2 different locations but the video leads to the DVR need to be extended about 15 feet further than where the old CPU based DVR was located to a rack. What would be the best way to extend the wires without using the BNC barrel connections? A few times I have used those things there is always intermediate video loss. I have even tried ordering different types of barrels from different vendors with the same result. Any input would be appreciated.

Razer, I get the passion for Cisco, a trusted name in commercial switches, but let me tell you why I didn't consider Cisco. The model you mention, a managed 8 port PoE switch has a 62.5W maximum, a problem I had with Trendnet is that I ran out of power before running out of ports and I was at best getting 3 cameras per 4 ports of PoE. ZyXel, when they say 8 ports of PoE, they mean 8 at the full 15.4W of power, where the Cisco would average only 7.75W or about half the power. If you have mostly IR cameras, at best you are pushing that number to it's max, in reality, many cameras exceed that number and all my cameras at the moment, indoors or out are IR. You start adding newer cameras that have motorized focus and focal length, maybe powered zoom, brighter IR LEDs and you start using audio in/out, alarm in/out and I could see power creeping to the point where 7.75W is not going to cut it.

 

 

The equivalent to the switch you have is the ZyXel ES2108PWR, managed 8 port switch with a gige uplink. Costs about the same price as the Cisco, but is full power PoE on all ports. I wish I could have bought the Cisco, but the 62.5W was the show stopper for me. I didn't buy that ZyXel switch becuase of costs, I cheaped out and got the unmanaged switch for less than half the price, but that's a personal choice.

I think I will go with the ZyXel ES2108PWR due to the fact that I will be running 4- IPC-HFW3200C and 2- IPC-HDB3200C with one of the IPC-HFW3200C will be also be connected to a external mic and it will also give them the option to add 2 more IP cams in the future with plenty of power left. Another plus is that I can remote reboot it if any problems occur will save me a trip to the property to do a simple thing. Thanks to all for there input.
