Thanks for the reply. I heard they are out of business from a source. I'm interested in buying some of their Pixim box cameras. I hear Pixim is good for WDR and so am tempted to buy it, but before I did I wanted to see what the opinions of forum members was. Anyone used Pixim in WDR applications? What were your thoughts? Thanks.

Here a better quality version. 1slibJ52yoc

I want the system cheap. The installation to be cheap. And the image to be as demonstrated on CSI.

So now that Samsung hard drives have been bought out by Seagate I'm researching hard drives once again... 1. What brands do you ladies and gentleman prefer? 2. Any particular models for 1 or 2TB hard drives? 2. Any models to avoid? Thanks.

You mean 1TB?

What do you think of this camera? Here is a quality comparison with this Sony 700tvl Effio dome camera vs. a Sony 520tvl Had dome camera. Left: 700tvl Sony Effio Right: 520tvl Sony Had

How do you like this unit? Any screenshots you can post? Video's? Thanks.

To give you more work? Good Idea... Improve the economy for CCTV installers.

Did they do subcontracting also?

Are you serious? I don't know where to laugh and where to cry in your post. Please for your sake and everyone else take it easy. I really hope you are joking from the first word to the last... I'm not kidding.

I agree... Whats worth more then a persons health, comfort and peace of mind? Be happy, be healthy!

Welcome.

Welcome!

Truth be told I'm excited about this too... IP sounds great but the ONVIF protocol still needs some work (IMO). With something like this its just plug and play...

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome.

Not so fast... I have tried using Avigilon with Grandstream cameras (Onvif Compliant) and it didn't work because the protocol was implemented differently between vendors... Had to contact both vendors and they are trying to make it work with the different camera models GrandStream has out on the market (Firmware / Software upgrades.) Also there seems to be a problem with motion detection implementation with the ONVIF protocol so motion detection might not work. I know Vivotek had trouble in this regard with Avigilon. To be sure check the Avigilon supported camera list. http://www.avigilon.com/downloads/acc4/ACC-Support-Devices-4.10.0.48.pdf Also call Avigilon and check if they have any pending support cases / trouble tickets with camera models you plan to use. Their tech support number is 1.888.281.5182. Better to be safe then sorry. Good Luck!

That is interesting indeed... Do you have a hypothesis as to why?

That's good to hear... Let me guess you are not from the North East of the US... Edit: I hope I didn't offend anyone from North East U.S... Let me tell you why I said this... I'm always on the lookout for new products and as such call and interact with many people regularly. I have noticed that people from densely populated areas tend to be a little more resistant to sharing their knowledge with others and are less friendly in communication style... One example: I call a company in NYC who is a OEM of CCTV Equipment... You would be amazed at how inpatient the salesman was in explaining to me the difference between two products... I call a canadian company and ask when a version of a software comes out. Even though they claimed not to know you wouldn't believe how thorough and polite they were in explaining this fact and how they made an extra effort to impress the customer...

Robert; That's an interesting problem. It seems like the IP system is freezing and crashing the network when you attempt to access it from a PC terminal... Do I understand you correctly? P.S - You stole my name... I'm also Robert
