    I have for sale a Sony SNC-DM160 and a SNC-DS60, both LIKE NEW in original boxes. They were used as test/demo units, but never installed. They both look and operate as brand new! The DS60 is missing a small screw for the mounting bracket, but that can easily be found at any hardware store. Info about these cameras is here (http://pro.sony.com/bbsccms/assets/files/cat/camsec/brochures/SNC-DS-DMseriesbrochurefinal3-08.pdf).

     

    I accept PayPal or Amazon Payments. I have plenty of feedback on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/details/ref=aag_m_fb?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&asin=&seller=A1GPQ8EMZBRNSP) and eBay (http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=peterlaz01&ftab=AllFeedback).

     

    PRICES (negotiable)

    SNC-DM160: 975.00 (delivered, within the USA)

    SNC-DS60: 575.00 (delivered, within the USA)

    This is the DS60, but the DM160 looks exactly the same.

     

    PM/Comment for more photos. Thanks for looking!

    Try bandh.com to search for cameras; they let you narrow it down by type, resolution, price etc. (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ns=p_PRICE_2|0&ci=16665&N=4266785728+4289360770+4289360750&srtclk=sort), then go find a better price elsewhere

     

    I think that sticking with a single brand might be the best choice, use their provided software, and perhaps run it on a dedicated computer somewhere in your shop. Do you really NEED 6-8 cameras, or can you do better with 2-3 WELL placed and higher resolution models? Mobotix makes a 360 degree panorama camera that covers an entire room, and has onboard SD storage to avoid a computer all together. Or perhaps use a network storage device from QNAP or Synology to store the footage?

     

    Like the others said, running too much on your main POS computer is probably not the best of ideas for the sake of the hardware and safety of your security footage in case of theft or robbery.

    In short No.

     

    You can use a Mobotix camera on a 3rd party VMS along with other cameras.

    Common VMS brands that accept most cameras are Genetec and Milestone

    I'm not seeing pricing or a place to purchase Genetec software, guessing it's not inexpensive? I've been trying the free Milestone software, but my Mobotix camera gets "disconnected" from their software for some reason.

    Currently the resolution is set to MEGA (1280x960) and it doesn't seem to want to break 6 fps during the day.

    (Also, thanks for the reply voipmodo, I actually purchased the camera thru you and was happy with the service/shipping).

    Have had a string of thefts in my neighborhood where people steal parts from cars, so I need to get going on my security system.

    What are the BEST night vision cameras available on the market? I plan to mount one on either side of my garage to view the cars in the driveway. There is a streetlight and front garage lights that provide a decent amount of ambient light to the area. Needs to be PoE and 1+ megapixel for person/face identification. Suggestions?

    Hey everyone, first off the info here has been extremely helpful. Have read posts here for ~ the last month.

     

    So here's what I would like help with. Currently I have 2 foscam bullet cameras (FI8904W) that I know have a limited life. I am recording the videostreams to a Synology NAS running Surveillance Station 5, which so far has worked out very well. BTW, this setup is for a home with pretty decent nighttime lighting (streetlights, under the eve lighting, flood lights that illuminate trees, etc).

     

    What I am looking for is a reasonably priced PoE megapixel camera (dome or bullet) that I could use in addition or as a replacement for my system. I plan to stream video using a picostation HP (wireless N). Here's what I'd ideally like to find in a camera:

     

    -PoE

    -1+ megapixel resolution

    -Outdoor (must be weatherproof - but I live in Arizona so snow/rain not an issue; i.e. no heater)

    -Good night vision (~ 40 feet at night - see video above)

    -Motion detection

    -On board storage

    -Price range ~500 each (plus or minus ~200) [i'd like to buy several]

     

    Here's what the yard illumination looks like at night (

    )

    and during the day (

    )

     

    I'm a student so price is a challenge, I'd love to grab a couple Mobotix but obviously that's not going to happen. I'm setting this system up for my parents, and as a fun project. I know some professionals don't like to share their knowledge, but I'm trying to use this as a learning experience too, so any help is appreciated.

     

    In my persistent googling I've written down these choices:

    -Toshiba IKWR12A

    -Vivotek FD8361

    -Sanyo HD3300/3500

    -Sony SNCDH210TB

    -ACti KCM-7211

    -ACti TCM-7811 (looks like great night vision)

    -ACti KCM-7111

    -Vivotek FE8171V (new fisheye - good way to use less numbers of cameras)

     

     

    Thanks in advance!
