  1. So, I got my first Neighbors knocking on my door because their property was stolen lastnight and I have cameras....

     

    Last night while they were gone for an Hour, Their $400 26ft bifold nice Ladder was stolen from the side of their house.

     

    Unfortunately My camera was off by about 5 ft and didn't catch anything but a truck backing up to it and taking off....

     

    Needless to say they are now saving up for their own Video Security System.

     

    Worst part is the week before I was covering that edge of their house but moved my camera...

    I would have gotten it had I not. But oh well


  2. Maybe I am stupid for not being able to find it.

     

    But, I was wondering. For the cost of a decent NVR ($500)

    Are there NVR cards for a Desktop tower?

     

    I ask because I notice some pretty decent towers with screens and monitors for sale for cheap. Like $155....

     

    Example

    205458_1.jpg

     

    1GB DDR2 RAM and an 80GB SATA Hard Drive. Includes Windows XP Professional, 8 USB Ports, Ethernet, CD Burner, Monitor, Keyborad and Mouse

     

    Now I can easily swap out and get more gb ram, and hard drive etc....

     

    Would this not be a better than the costco qsee dvr? I hear it's having trouble with 30fps on 4 cams when something is actually in frame moving around.

     

    I'm wanting 8ch min, 12ch Ideal 1080P 2MP cams. If I could use something like this I'd be estounded.


  3. Hey guys, as I save up for an IP system I'm mapping out all the cam location/wiring before hand.

     

    I was wondering what the Max distance is for Cat5e or Maybe even cat6 if I need to.

    It would be with a 1080P 2MP cam.

     

    For this specific camera it doesn't have to be POE since it's going on the outdoor brick Carport which is Powered

    I could always wire the power in from there within a few feet, If I had to.... Or if poe would work; awesome.

     

    As far as distance from the DVR I could be looking at 150ft for the video signal distance.

     

    Thanks.


  4. Have you seen the New IP MP system they have for sale at costco?

     

    It's also under your budget by a hundred.

     

    Its 4 1.3MP 720P cams and a 1TB NVR. 400 ft of cat5 included with everything else.

     

    heres the kit

    Here's the 10page thread about them in the ip sub forum.

     

    viewtopic.php?f=19&t=32694

     

    This system is much better than any Analog system they sell, or you could buy for the same amount I would think.

     

    If you can hold off another month or so, Costco said they will be releasing a larger IP MP system, 8ch or more

    and they would be 1080P etc... I'm trying to sell my analog system for one of these. Great Value.

     

     

    Here's some sample pics from the kit.

  5. You should def. have fun with them.

     

    I do. I get the emails, I'll send Paypal and you ship it to nigeria.

     

    I play along, play stupid like I don't know how to create a paypal account,

    or when I finally get an address I say I'll be there in a week on a bussiness trip, Mission trip,

    family visit etc.... They get pissed and figure it out or give up.

     

    Latest was a friend wanting to paypal me the amount plus a bunch to shp it to his friend.

    Said he was in chicago and i'm in tn and after telling him I'll be there near him next week

    I'll bring the unit and take cash he said he couldn't meet up sorry.

     

    I hate em, I hope karma get's em. And btw, we call that the projects or gov housing.


  6. I just realized, Each camera comes with 100FT of Cat5. Both the 2 pack and the 4ch system

    includes 100ft cat5 per camera. I nice plus considering the price already.

     

    Heres the sample from the 4ch kit.

     

    http://media.webcollage.net/rwvfp/wc/cp/8973388/module/qsee/_cp/products/1347992530666/tab-3340263e-77d5-4b16-a726-2d5c7be6d294/8f022d8b-4f51-43e8-857e-08582d56f02e.jpg.web.v1.960.jpg

     

    Also notice the dvr states it will record 1080P on all 4ch at 30fps.

    If they would add 4 more ports, and allow 1080P at 15fps I'd be sold.


  7. Awesome. When Costco sells something it goes through a huge amount of testing.

    I couldn't believe it until I watched the documentary on it.

     

    If they come out with a 8Ch System, For say 999.99 I'll be very hard pressed not to purchase.

    It would be nice to get a few more features that come with the Dahua pro DVRs....

     

    I have a 16ch analog. ugh. I've narrowed it down to I need at least 8 Cams at 7.5fps would be fine.

    If i could get 8 cams at 15fps I'd be tickled.

     

    Looking forward to see what they come out with before the New year.

     

    What is the email for Costco to recommend products? If we all send emails asking for something specific we may be able to get something rolling. Of course, we know this isn't a Full quality system/

     

    However, Talking Value if they continue to pop out some good value systems like this,

    The amount of home owners purchasing NVR IP MP systems is going to BLOW UP


  8. Hey guys, Selling my Analog system so I can go IP MP.

     

    I have a

    Apollo HD 16Ch Full D1 on all 16 Ch at 7FPS DVR.

    It's a Dahua DVR so it's really great quality. I have loved it thus far.

     

    Installed 1TB Hard Drive From BestBuy. (Cost me $160)

     

    I'll sell DVR with Installed HD for $400. It's a awesome deal.

     

    I also have a Qvis 700TVL Box Camera with 3 lenses. 2.8, 4mm, 5-100mm with power plug to the box cam)

    I'll also throw in the Power Converter for it.

    Also have the Mount,

    AND a Heated/Faned Enclosure....

    I'll let it all go for about $160.... Cam was $160, Mount $10 or 15, Enclosure was 30 and converter was 16? It's a deal!

     

    I also have 4 CHEAP 600tvl Domes with IR.... I'll throw these in for free.... They actually have a decent picture. Though the color is

    messed up a lil bit. 3 axis domes btw....

     

    Email me at PeriutPhotography@gmail.com and/or post here.

     

    Thanks!
