i like those Golf ball sized cameras, i am kinda lucky, cause i have installed dozens of recessed lights that have the Eyeball type bezel, so i figured that the dome type camera would kinda blend right in... but i am gonna definitely check out the cameras you recommended ... thanks

I have been looking at the CNB, LBM-20S, Monalisa Indoor IR Dome (100mm) - 600TVL, 3-AXIS, 3.8MM Fixed Lens, 0.00LUX, 28 LEDs The LBM-20S pretty much has everything i am looking for, Monalisa Chip, IR and a fixed lens...plus a very good price... During the day, a non IR camera would be fine, but at night when no lights are on, in a room, a non IR just won't cut it....

well these would be used within my home, living room, family room, dining room, entrances, basement, theater, gym and music room...

if the guy is of no help and you are able to send it back. then send it back. its from ebay and you already have a problem. say in 2 months time you have a problem you are stuck. the guy has bad feedback and he has not sold much (thats a warning about him) for around the same price you could get a dahua DVR (and they come with warranty) i can't agree more with tomCCTV, i too purchased a ebay DVR, and i was VERY quick to realize its limitations...especially the customer service, you thought calling Bombay for computer help was bad, try calling Shanghai for DVR help, think about ordering chinese food, but ten times worst... customer service is EVERYTHING, case in point, i just purchased a new dvr , let me tell you, this guy spent well over 3 hours between yesterday and today helping me get this thing sorted...THAT is CUSTOMER SERVICE.... not to mention , the DVR is SICK, has everything you might want...or need... remember, you get what you pay for...

Yes but good people wouldnt do it regardless of repercussions or not. Cant always depend on the police or the law to tell us what to do, we should know better. in some communities, looting is shopping... and looting is ebonics for shopping....

even if its true the police tried to cover up a questionable shooting, at the end of the day, the guy was a drug dealer,was locked up 4 times for drug dealing, and he was a gang member, the way I see it, justice was served.. remember you live by the sword , you die by the sword... no loss, nothing to see here, move on....

Police slang... LOL

for those who fear CCTV in public, and you know who you are, it looks like its gonna get a lot of use in Britain, it seems they are having a lot of issues with canadians running wild in the streets...trying to burn some town downs... they are talking about using plastic bullets, i say they use some full metal jackets or better yet some hollow points, that will stop any other problems... it appears the police already pulled some images from the CCTV cameras... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-14462271

i am a little confused, i was under the understanding, that PRICES, couldn't be discussed, how are people suppose to know who to trust when it comes to buying equipment, if we can't ask for help from other members as to who they recommend... I think the idea is we discuss the equipment, etc. Then you can PM people about where they bought their stuff. yes , that's what i intend to do, from now on....will save a lot of confusion...

those MIR1000 are some pretty good IRs, for the cost, they can't be beat...

this is taken directly from the link provided... "Please refer to below list of non-compliant resellers of CNB products. This list may be updated regularly."

I dont see them on the list. Never had a problem ordering CNB from them and their tech support was a great help for other questions, but that last order of KT&C BW bullets, I ordered 6 of one particular model and I got several totally different models. Anyway moving on, we all know we cant talk about online stores on this forum .. per the forum rules ... dont want to have to ban myself today the list in the above response , is those WHO ARE NOT AUTHORIZED...i hope you guys aren't trying to defuse a bomb, while reading the directions...LOL

the VCM-24Vfs are very sensitive to IR, now i am presently using 4 MIR1000s, and in areas where only the smallest amount of IR was needed, instead of buying addition IR illuminators, i simply gutted a couple of cheap IR bullet cameras, tossed the camera parts out and reinstalled the IR rings, rewired them, and I had a few homemade IR illuminators...

i don't know if the phone numbers are the same, but i do know they share common addresses... i have only ever dealt with surveillance-video, so i can't comment on 123...

my client's last order with them (123) they sent him all the wrong cameras and never credited the client the difference. The sales agent was totally clueless. But that was just one order. yes , i remember you had previously posted this, but all i can speak on, is the quality of service that i have received, and without going into exact numbers, they were by far the cheapest i found, for CNB products...

well your wrong, they ARE authorized , i personally called them, and also e-mailed them, to verify.... i don't know what list they "uses" to have on their site, but they are authorized...

well i have had excellent customer service from, and have purchased all my equipment (VCM-24VF) cameras from surveillance-video.com, they are out of NYC....and they are an authorized dealer of all CNB products...which is very important...

If money was not an issue, to some degree that is, just what would your Dream, 8 Camera, Home CCTV be comprised of...I figured this question would bring to the forefront, just what visitors to this site have on their wish list..it could be helpful in determining best components to incorporate into a future system...

very true, warranty is an important consideration when buying cameras, i purchased all CNB cameras, and they come with a 3 year warranty, plus most important, is to buy from an authorized dealer, non-authorized = no warranty...

you do have a death wish, don't you....

now this is gonna be fun, you have just opened a can of worms, that will have some on this site calling for you head, and questioning everything you think you know about CCTV... let me go get the popcorn and watch this thread instead of TV...

its not really the size of the vehicle exclusively, its the mindset of the person behind the wheel, you see when i was in my Jeep, i didn't mind getting into a fender bender with the jeep, BUT, when i was in my M-B CLK 320, i was a little nicer to those looking to merge... so those who drive the company cars and those who drive the " get the F out of my way or i will F'up your nice car with my, i don't give a $hit about truck", are the ones who will always be the winner in a lane merge...

pretty much the same theory....

i myself had a jeep wrangler, 1997, i really miss that also, it was lifted and had 37 inch tires all around, it was the best vehicle for merging into traffic, all i did was look for the nicest car in line, and once they saw those massive tires coming their way, i was in like flynn..
