    thanks man ...

     

    wow, sorry to hear about that. Why don't you come to the U.S. leaving behind the nice weather and all won't be a big loss. Hey, do you think it's easier to own and start up a security business in the bahamas than in the U.S.?

    Ok, in my small 1500sq ft home I have installed 4 ccd cameras and just recently a sensormatic PTZ speeddome V (it was just sitting around). I can monitor my entire house and more from downstairs and upstairs.

     

    The recent addition of the PTZ camera was because I am in charge of a large neighborhood watch program that involves over 120 homes. I live right in the middle of a huge subdivision with a wetland in front. With the PTZ I can see the entire street from left to right with nothing in front. I made sure the local police and association knew about the camera.

     

    Since I gave the local police an idea, they now want me to give them a bid involving several PTZ cameras mounted on light poles in the city.

     

    Does anyone else have cctv installed in there own home?

     

    oh....since the PTZ was a pulled from service item, I didn't want to waste a new controller (sensormatic touchtracker adtte16) so I used a DOS version dome controller on my pc with a rs-232 to rs-422 converter. Does anyone else know of a free software that I can obtain for this camera?

    I am with Liberty Surveillance here. Are you going to be recording the video onto a time lapse VCR or DVR so you can only record motion triggered video? If not there is no reason to have the camera turn on and off. Unless you want the video monitor to turn on and show video when the lights turn on outside?

    Just the other day I was reading this article about Busch stadium and how it now contains IP video as the main source for security. Good source of Information. You can get a copy of the issue from securitysales.com Date: April 2006 Vol 28, No. 4.

     

     

     

    Exclusive! Baseball’s Newest Gem Takes IP Video to the Ballgame

    by Chris Reed

     

    St. Louis is a city that bleeds red with baseball. The Cardinals are as much a treasure as the Gateway Arch that gives a halo to this city named after a saint.

     

     

    The city’s Major League Baseball franchise has built itself a new $365 million palace and is protecting it with a virtual fortification — one of the most advanced network video security systems ever installed.

    ok, I was browsing what radio shack was selling now with security systems so I can laugh and found this device that may suite your needs. These are just basic consumer self install products that my work for you. It has a built-in camera with motion sensor and a buzzer when someone is at your door. You can hook this right up to your TV. However you will need the seperate switch box for two way and motion function.

     

    Here is one: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2199257&cp=&origkw=security+camera&kw=security+camera&parentPage=search

     

    And a slightly better one: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104430&cp=&pg=2&origkw=security+camera&kw=security+camera&parentPage=search

     

    Have fun!

    Honestly, the quality of the swann is ok and the cameras I have suggested are good not the best. However even if you have the best security camera on the market your DVR would be the ultimatum on video quality. Not all DVR's are the same. I was suggesting the wide angle since you had mentioned that you wanted to see both the car and pedestrian walk through. I had noticed that your swann just gets the pedestrian part while the main focus is the driveway. The lens is not interchangable on the wide angle unit. However the cameras I am suggesting are all in one units, meaning you don't need a camera, housing, braket, etc. for ease of use. Of course I would always suggest using a C/CS-mount camera with the proper lense and housing. Or a dome camera mounted on the wall.

     

    If the wide angle is not for you, than I would recommend a ZOOM IR Cam model: PC-505IR. Good resolution with a SONY 1/3 HAD Chipset. Its a little pricy and you still need to buy a power supply and cable which is about 25 bucks.

    Hi Shawn,

     

    I have some affordable suggestions for you on some products that can help you in your price range. The first product is a Hi Resolution CCD Camera with a wide 170 degree field-of-view lens from supercircuits model number PC-221-HR priced at 144.99 with this camera you will be able to achieve a full view of your car gate and pedestrian gate as well as other areas. If you need better lighting at night you can get a infrared light source like the IR23

     

    If you can afford a little more, I would then recommend a vandal proof dome camera model number CD34IR-HR as a dome camera you can mount on the overhang of your apartment complex. It feature a variable zoom, so you adjust the field of view as needed and it has built in infrared light source. It also is vandal proof since your ceiling height is only 10ft from the ground.

     

    P.S. I don't recommend mounting the dome camera facing the sky, you can overheat the inside components during daytime with the scorching sunlight and it can also produce internal condensation. Also these are only suggestions from your request and price range. I am sure other members would have there own opinions on these products.
