    I remember Black and White cameras and only came in Full Bodies.. Also when as a wholesaler you could make money and from a sale... I remember techs that came for advise instead of now trying to tell you how the world works whatyou need to be doing to continue selling to them...

     

    Yes the good old days... Now with the Internet everyones a expect cause it's on the net...

     

    So yes I remember them and bring them back. Also so I could Invent Facebook lol

    I can't say much about the brickcom but I know they are well backed with funds so assume the cameras will not be too bad.

     

    I like to see real life demos rather then staged footage from suppliers as I think it gives really shows off the cameras in the hands of everyday users not engineers that can tweak the camera firmware and settings to suit the shot. Axis make a good camera and some really great niche products for the market but I am a Sony Fan... As never called back on a Sony Job to fix or Re-focus cameras.

     

    This Sony camera is out of the box, Hit focus and thats the Image I get... Not bad if you ask me !!!

    If you want the BEST then the only one is SONY CH140.... Hands down the best low light and WDR camera on the market.. I have done many shootouts with Panasonic, Axis, Mobotix, Samsung and all the rest whicle they have techs playing for hours to get the cameras setup to try beat the SONY i simply plug it in hit Focus and the job is as good as won.... You tube the SONY CH140 and see for your self.

     

    I have been doing IP when people laughed at IP and now this is all they want.... In low light Sony is the best but does not come cheap and when you bring price into it the the the price can make others look good... Also SONY run with the EXMOR technology in the chipsets which is light years ahead of other comapnies chipset technologies.

     

    Thanks

    I have used Messoa on a few jobs and find them to be a nice device excpet the fact all camera come with a Static IP adress No fun on larger Installs but have had a few failures on POE. All in all though not bad cameras.

     

    I have been interested in trying their LPR cameras but have only used the Shany cameras, which again I have had good results with as well... You are right as I have used a H.264 Encoder the JPEG200 would be much better.

    Yeah I think that having office trainers handle training coarses over actauly real life installers that come across real life problems is a concern, but I have a rule don't believe anyone and do the testing yourself.... You are correct and I should have mentioned the Shutter speed and also remember changing the shutter speed also effects the camera at different light levels hence testing at night as well as during the day.

     

    Yes I have had some success with LPR but also had my failures and at times spent hours pulling my hair out.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    I have had a few dealing with LPR now anmd found a few that are quite nice.... Milestone is fine but does require some setup avigilon is also a good system..

     

    With any Analytics most poeple think this is Plug and Play when in fact the system is Plug and Perfect... If people think just throwing up a camera and adding software is all it takes then burger king is job for you.. You need to take into account camera position, selecting the right camera and then spend the time through the day a night testing this for your client to get what they want.... Yes it seems a pain in the ass but the more you do the better you become and faster you get.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    Has anyone used this software before with Milestone and can anyone give me any feedback on the following.

     

    1. Does the software do what they say it will and is it stable?

    2. Is the software easy to use?

    3. Compared to other Analytic packages is it more expenive or cheaper?

    3. Anyone used AgentVI with Milestone and any feeback good or bad?

    4. If you have seen a better Analytics package for Milestone then let me know as I am happy to take a look.

     

    Thanks

    Obviously depends on the appllication as I have done a fair few jobs with both these companies now and both have been problem free so far...

     

    Videotec make housing to suut really any camera IP or Analogue.

    They are not cheap but very good....

     

    Also another is Silent Sentinel as they do mainly Analogue but can suit IP as well..

    Hi,

     

    Has anyone used these before with Megapixel Cameras... I am using 6 x FD8362E Cameras and I am finding that I have a 15 second delay on the monitor.

     

    Camera Settings:

    1920 x 1080, 5 Frames, H.264, 1500 bit rate.

     

    The unit actually only comes with I3 processor & 1GB DDR Ram...yes DDR Ram and we are in 2011.. I have added another stick of DDR ram but still the same issue.

     

    When I have 2 Cameras on the Mini the system has zero lagg, but add the 3rd, 4th camera and it just becomes a real mess.. Although I can view all the cameras without lag via 6 x seperate I.E pages but when going through the Exacq then the problem Starts.

     

    I have emailed Support at Exacq but does anyone have any other solution for resolving this.

     

    Thanks
