We got rid of the everfocus, what a POS. Motion Sense only worked when you were damned near in front of the camera. I will say those SDC-415 cams on low lux ROCK! But dont work well for LPR, so I have an Extreme CCTV REG-L1 on order. (thx for the reccomend Rory!) I'm trying to stick in the under 2k range for a DVR though, 8 channel, 30ips per channel, motion detection (and good motion detection!), alarm out, record resolution at least 720x240. My Dealer suggested Speci DVR-9ip) and I see Rory poo-poo'd them. Dedicated micro's seem well received, but they are kind out of my price range, (Sprite 2). Any other suggestions?

Been studying what I can on these, but its abit daunting. I need a DVR, networkable to my pc for viewing(and to pc for storage/archive)),local (monitor view), motion detection,hi res storage (720x480), 4ch, 30fps per channel, and some sort of remote alarm for motion detection. etc. My dealer suggested the Everfocus EDSR400, which I see while not generally well viewed, the complaints are from very advanced folks... I've pretty much settled on SHC-740,or SDC-415 camera's for input to this DVR.

I was looking at the scc-B2305,until I was able to figure out it was a Samsung/GVI camera. On the Samsung/Techwin side, ther eis the SHC-740 camera, double the price, but double as good? I need a strong day night camera, WDR, hi res, etc. Any input on this camera??

You said it wasnt available in the US. I showed it to be otherwise (potentially of course). Anything you infer past that is your own perception.

[edit by mod:link removed] these guys arent UK.

(real time recording) I thought thats what a DVR does? Am I missing something? All I need to do is save at probably 30fps x 3 camera's to a DVR, and have the ability to view something remotely on the DVR if needed (camera feed) or store a clip to my PC for archiving if need be. Otherwise, its save the data to HD, and I'll have a monitor setup to view one camera, and view the other two camera's (local or remote via my PC on same home LAN) only when needed. Motion detect will be enabled on the 1 camera and will ring a piezo electric unit when activated.

Not archiving per se, but at least be able to store clips on my PC for safe keeping.

Which question... the one on how to tell whether a camera is GVI or Techwin, or the one about a day night camera?

It's too difficult of a question?
