I wonder if they managed to get much hospital treatment

id have a guess at a jpeg 2000 machine

well when i did my number plate camera mounted in our own lampost at the end of our driveway i mounted it approx 30 inches from the ground this is the ideal height for number plates i used a varifocal bullet type cam

have you made sure youve setup the camera menu so its on auto not just black and white setting.

145 metres is ok for rg59 as long as you use good quality coax and not cheap coax cable youll be fine. it needs to be rg59 c/u not b/u

can you give me a part number or a picture of the camera so that i can see what i could suggest

its down to how sensitive the camera is and what frequency the ir unit gives out, most ir lamps are 840 approx i think but some can be in the 700's and 900's so depending what the camera frequency range is willl depend on wether it can pick it iup or not

are these camera externally rated if so what ip rating have they got, id be speaking to manufacturer about this issue as its obvious that there is a problem with the way the camera seals the weather out,

what is there local to the playground is there any office building near to these

about the width of a car length id say from camera to plate.

oh forgot to ask what area are you from ?

hi there i agree go for good quality equipment and look roudn for recommendations like this on which ive used 9 now and find the camera to be very good quality http://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/1131342782.html i have 4 on oour house and can get a face or reg zoomed in around 50-100 feet away from camera statics ive been using hundreds of these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Genuine-960H-1-3-Sony-CCD-Effio-E-700TVL-36-LEDs-IR-2-8-12mm-Varifocal/1045146511.html and again have got alot in premises all with very good reviews of clients. our reg plate camera happens to be this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Outdoor-Bullet-Colour-Weatherproof-Covert-CCTV-Camera-4-9mm-vari-560TVL-Exview-/221302347394?pt=UK_CCTV&hash=item3386a5d682 and num plates can be caught from end of driveway no probs as you can see day and night, an infrared lamp is mounted on concrete pad round side of lights post out of view power supply i use and have used lots of these for a couple of years to make a neat looking install is http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-9-Channel-CH-CCTV-CCD-10A-Security-Camera-Power-Supply-Box-Free-Shipping-2952/888133647.html hope this helps

i dont know to be honest, as ive always left keys in the locks above the ceilings myself.

this is how i setup ours, the top psu is 1 12 vdc 10 amp power supply and the lower one is a 10 amp also but top one runs 7 geneie vandal domes (none ir) 1 bullet varifocal camera (none ir ) mounted in lampost covertly) and pirs to make speed domes turn to several areas the lower psu runs the 4 x ir mini speed domes outside.

sounds like it could be a loose cable somewhere between pcb and motor connection, maybe a plug or connection has come loose?

yes its outside weatherproof, you just need 2 core flex for power form power supply, screened beldon or cat 5 for rs485 to dvr/controller and rg59 to dvr for video feed

id suggest running 2 power supplies and putting half cameras on 1 5 amp psu and half the cameras on the other

what size power supply you using at moment ?

see your other posted thread

id recommend this camera ive used approx 9 up to now and been very pleased with the results http://www.ebay.com/itm/10X-ZOOM-SONY-700TVL-4-MINI-High-Speed-Dome-Camera-IR-Outdoor-PTZ-CCTV-Camera-/161241336454?pt=US_Security_Cameras&hash=item258abb8a86 it has 10x zoom for the same price

sounds like there isnt enough current being given by power supply, you may have to put an additional power supply in one front end and one back end what amperage power supply have you used

that would be the way id do it but im a cctv engineer with wi 10years in the trade as long as its 1500mA 12v dc any powersupply could be used

ok i gather you need to know what you need to buy, ok here goes, firstly are you going to just put to a monitor if so youd need a bnc to phono converter and 2 crimped bns, a length of rg59 to go from camera to monitor or dvr, then a 1500mA power supply in say dc 12 v something like in the picture attached the just run a piece of 2 core flex from power supply pcb connection to the connection point on camera

the camera is more than likely already setup to the best settings, but the power is either 24 v AC or 12v DC you'd be best to get a power supply rated at 1500mA to give came enough working current the video cable should be a bnc on rg59 which connects to the bnc on back of camera half way down the power connection is polarity sensitive on dc voltage so pos must got to + and neg must go to - otherwise you could blow the camera

can you make a picture of locations to building etc pm me if you dont want the map public, but ill take a look myself if you want at solutions but need some map picture info first like locations and layouts etc.
