  1. I need to install a 4MP Hikvision camera in a detached garage that is approximately 175' away from the residence. I would appreciate some recommendations for equipment that doesn't break the bank, but that will work dependably.

    Thank you in advance!!!!!!!

     

    I will be running the camera at the following settings:

    Video Quality: Highest

    Frame Rate: 15FPS

    Max. Bitrate 10,500 Kbps

    It is with a heavy heart that we must inform you that Carl unexpectedly passed away this week. You have known him as the webs best go to security camera specialist. We knew him as a loving father, caring husband, and great mentor. This is a sad loss for the security camera industry. His reviews were the most thorough, unbiased and in-depth resource on the industries' most popular cameras. Carl had the most loyal followers, and this site brought him so much joy. Thank you for sharing this journey with Carl.

    Sincerely,

    Rebecca, Charlie, Nicole, and Dalton


  3. How set are they on keeping the analog? Once they see higher resolution cameras you might be in for a total switch. Just make sure they are committed to keeping what they have in line currently before committing to a hybrid.

     

    I am sure they would like to keep the analog, just installed.

     

    What about going with a 16 channel encoder, and then using a single 32 channel NVR?

    I am probably going to go with Hikvision IP so everything needs to be compatible.


  4. I would like to get recommendations on a 16 channel Hybrid DVR. Currently I had a Dahua DH-DVR1604HF-A-E installed, but it is locking up on the initial image for all 16 channels, and after about 5 minutes just reboots. 258778_1.jpg

    Customer mentioned that he would like to add at least another 8 cameras, with 8 channels available for future expansion. I discussed possible options with the customer, and suggested the possibility of going with a Hybrid 16 channel DVR. Opinions? Should I just try and get the existing unit warrantied, and then go with a separate NVR or go with a single unit?

    Thanks in advance!!!!!


  5. Exact quote from http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-white-light.htm

     

     

    Not sure I understand the difference. I see Ray Tech and others offer conventional 850nm IR and "White Light" Illumination.

     

    Is the white light visible?

     

    U must be joking

    of course White light is visible

     

    White light is the name given to what the human eye sees when all the colors that make up the visible light spectrum are combined; the visible light spectrum is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet light, and these colors combined make white lighting. When shined through a prism, white lights are broken into the separate colors of the visible light spectrum. Many people commonly refer to white light simply as "light" or "visible light," and it is this light that makes it possible to view one's surroundings. Several sources of white lights exist including the sun and stars, certain types of lightbulbs, and some lamps.


  6. I think you're being a touch oversensitive to be honest mate.

     

    I read through the first 2 posts then saw your reply of "knee jerk sensitive" and I read through the first 2 posts again and got really confused as to how you could get upset over the responses.

     

    I regularly tell my customers they've got crap. I'll tell you you've got crap. I'm not being superior to you or anything. I'm telling you that your equipment, no matter how loved it is, ... is crap. Ok fine you can't afford a 16MP camera. That's not really the point though. The point is, is that compared to stuff that's readily available on the market... what you have is crap. No one is being offensive. You ask, we tell.

     

    Sorry mate you have junk on your hands is hardly "not nice" at least in my eyes anyways.

     

    As for the rest, Soundy has pretty much covered everything.

  7. They do, but you have to find out what frequency that the cable company is using. http://www.channelvision.com/images/stories/uploads/guide/Filters_And_DigitalCable.pdf

    That filter blocked out the Digital Phone service from Cox Communications, since that is the frequency they were using. If you can find a range that they are not using it will work, unless they change the used frequencies, which I understand they often do. Your best bet is to run a seperate video cable to each TV and switch video inputs. If that is not feasible, than the Channel Vision solution might work best for you.
