    I went from cheap all in one cable to RG59 then i went out and got some good cat5e with genie balun. I also have a line down the screen when its low light. i sent an email to the guy i got it from and he said its my cables but ive changed them 3 times now making it an expensive run!

     

    The cam is : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300522960900?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

     

    On my other cheaper no name cams the live view isnt as good as the recorded however the samsung is about the same with alot more noise, ive had ago at changing the settings.

     

    Also when i could get a better picture it was in colour (still very bad) its as if there was a spotting blur on movement the would follow them about, you couldnt make any detail on faces even the vari focal lense is very close to the faces. All recording settings are on max, i even tried own power supply etc.

     

    I got a 940nm IR but the bloody thing dont pick it up lol

    Thanks i will give them settings ago tomo,

    I think AGC is already on low

     

    I just got my compression tool but in the meantime i have been useing screw on BNC could this be a problem?

     

    I also notice that my Cable isnt thick braid, its copper but possibly only 80% how much effect could this have on the picture?

     

    If im forced to get more cable if the braid isnt thick enough i may just cut my losses on the tools etc and get some baluns, i can get Genie baluns quite cheap, are these any good?

     

    just getting fed up with messing about, all i want is a clear solid picture day and night, I got a £140 camera the RG59 and all the tools needed, Tell me could the fact that the braid isnt thick enough have an effect? If so i may aswel get baluns and Cat5e

     

    Cheers

    the picture quality at night i found quite poor, it stays on colour mode for too long and the picture quality isnt great however in the day its ok.

     

    I changed the cables to RG59 but hasnt made a great difference, what am i doing wrong? Should i scrap the RG59 and get Cat5? for the price of the camera im not all that happy

     

    All my cams are poor at night with fuzz (i dont know the term) not crisp and lots of dots

    H, yes thats exactly it 'I need to hide them' covvert cams really but i already have a covert sony effio and im not happy with the picture quality also i have another two coming from china which i regret spending £100 on a pinhole and small board cam

     

    I decided to hunt for a brand name to see if the picture quality is better, if im still not happy with the samsung im going to get rid of all and try get me a hybrid DVR

     

    I know i wont get the samsung completely covert but altleast i can hid it a little better without the shell, i can see there sexy cams and its a shame to take it away but its just the cam i need atm

     

    Isnt the spec much better with the SCC-B5368? Or is there not much in the picture quality? obviously as you have tried both cams, which has the better picture out of the two?

     

    P.s you sell these good by the way, you have me sold

     

    EDIT: I just went with the SCC-B5368P A1 SERIES only as i got it for £100 delivered, did i make the wrong choice? I just noticed 410/470 pixels, Is this not quite low?

    Result! what a great forum full of very helpful members, thanks for the info and pics there a great help, looks ideal, its just being able to mount it fixed with the circle bracket somehow?

     

    I also noticed a similar cam G7A samsung SCC-B5368P A1 SERIES, do you know it? a little more expensive

     

    I may go with one of them aswel if the SCD-2080P is all good and i can fix it without the shell. whats the digital zoom like?

     

    Again Result and thanks, much appreciated

    Trying to find similar, thinking about it if anyone can point me in the direction of the very best i would be much appreciated!

     

    Thanks twist, you opend my eyes, i had a little look around for yours in english but couldnt find it, perhaps there is new versions, low light versions is something i need as for now i wont be using and IR

     

    Is super HAD ll CCD better than effio?

  16. Posted

    Great, I will give this a go then

     

    Do you know of any cams of the same size that are better? these are only £55 so like you say a good price but if funds didnt matter whats the very best of this size?

     

    Many thanks for your info

  17. Posted

    Thanks for that, good info i was unaware of

    so a pinhold cam must stay a pinhole cam and the same with board lense cam, you can replace the size lense on a pinhole though yeh?

     

    At first i missunderstood you, i thought you was saying you cant focus a pinhole cam

     

    All in all these are good cams though? woud you say there better than sony effio E?

    Im finding the clarity isnt great

     

    Thanks

    Great news, i will make an order shortly then although i just noticed there fromchina aswel

     

    There must be a way to fucus the pinhole? otherwise they just wouldnt work or sell?

     

    I have a sony pinhole on order, to be honest i really do need pinhole as these will be easier to hide

  19. Posted

    Thanks for the offer matey but really looking for a compression tool, you have one of them?

     

    I know i didnt get a very good deal and i paid extra for fast shipping so didnt do myself any favours and im sure there going to be rubbish, there was another from china same shell etc £23 but the Pal pixel was lower so i paid extra, i shop around online but couldnt find any to be honest at that price in the Uk

     

    my other cam is similar and i paid £34 delivered in the UK but he sold out and it was a special price from him (normaly £50),

    Can you point me in the direction as to where i can find these cams cheaper?

     

    Although even better if you could point me in the direction of the best cams like these, i need them to be small, i can fit the pinhole cams in the walls etc,

     

    Many thanks

    In the spec of this cam i notice NTSC is greater than PAL:

     

    Specifications:

     

    Image Sensor: 1/3'' SONY Effio-E DSP CCD

     

    Pixel : PAL:976 (H)× 494(V) NTSC :976 (H) ×582 (V)

     

    I thought PAL wasa better, am i better off using NTSC setting on the DVR due to the fact the pxel is greater?

     

    Sorry for all the silly questions i really am new to all this, not as simple as i thought

     

    Thanks

    I think i will go with shotgun RG59 just my opinion but looks a tad more tidy with 2 cables linked and i need to power close to the DVR, Isnt Compression BNC better than crimping? has a better seal and grip of about 60lb, so i read.

     

    Compression BNC's are a tiny bit more expensive, as i say im a little fussy but have looked all over online but cant find the conpression tool in the UK, silly really as the compression BNC's are all over the place with no tool to fit them, must keep the sales down.

    If i cant find any compression tools i wil go with the crimping set you suggested, thatnks for that

     

     

    I will have a 2.8 at the front top to observe the area and a 3.6 for the back

    I have ordered a covert cam with a big old 2.8-12 Varifocal lense attached. thanks for the info, i will see how i get on with the 2.8-12 to see what kind of distant lenses i will need for my other 5 cams, I dont have much idea on the exact sizes i need as havent seen much in action.

    My only trouble is they need to be covert so big domes etc are out of question, i would love a PTZ but will give it all away.

    bad choice im sure.

    Oh well a couple of years and i may get me a HDSD

     

    They made out Robox HD is casino quality but its far from it!

     

    No IR and its quite new, no webs or anything

     

    Its strange sometimes its OK recording but thats all it is 'OK' and other times its just not acceptable

     

    i have noticed aspec in dark the live feed picture isnt as good as the recorded? still poor recorded

     

    sometimes its grainy other times you can see small dot movement, I cant get good face detail unless up real close, its a 3.6mm and just a metre away unless i know the face its no good

     

    sometimes for instance the dark outline of a car etc isnt of fine quality, not straight but the focus is all correct

     

    I just made an order of two china (i know bad choice) 700tvl WDR sony effio E and im going to order some RG59, i think its simpler than cat5? aspec as i cant use IP anyways

     

    Do any of you know where i can get a BNC compression tool in the UK? i cant find one anywhere!!!

     

    All in all im abit fussy and im not very happy with my picture quality but i guess what im after i need IP or in my case i would prefer HDSD

     

    I hope the new cable will fix the problem, i know the cams are basic but i have 5 more to buy so i will be spending my money there or is it not worth it? how much better picture quality could i get from a higher priced cam compared to china sony effio E? they do have quite a good spec on paper. I will be getting a covery Pixin seawolf aswel

     

    Thanks

    Am i able to use an IP cam with my DVR or even HDcctv? i dont use it on a network. im not sure if its a hybrid,

    Can i just connect a HDcctv and have 1080p HD record quality or am i being silly and it will only record at a lower rate of D1? i was under the impression D1 was the best lol

    joining a forum late really hits you in the face!

     

    I have a HD series so i assume it would record at 1080p or is that just the monitor?

     

    I have had a little look at HDcctv 1080p, can i record this with mine?

     

    I have this DVR:

    Hi

     

    Im looking for covert cams i have an issue regarding seawolf cams, i come accross a couple on ebay:

     

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221152489522?ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1427.l2649

     

    then i found some more:

     

    http://www.securitycamera2000.com/products/690TVL-Ultra-WDR-Pixim-SEAWOLF-HD-CCTV-Mini-Camera-3.6mm-Lens-OSD-Menu.html

     

    idealy i need pinhole but i know how ebay is and there is many fakes going about, i notice the shells are different, what do you guys think on these two? im in the UK so ebay cams will be better for the ordering side but as i say i worry about fakes etc

     

    Also what do you guys think of these:

    Hi,

     

    may i ask, what will the baluns do? reason i thought cables may be a slight problem would be as the power runs down the same cable and there quite thin, interference?

     

    yes i noticed its a rebranded DVR, i notice they have some ok rep? Its a new model 1080p, has two ports for HDD with D1 on every channel, spec seems ok.

     

    Its just hunting my problem of quality, i notice in shops etc they have crisp clear pictures and mine is nothing of the kind, dotty etc

     

    Atm its linked to our 42" 1080p tv (will be getting a 22" soon) i realise that 42" is too big and would have some picture quality loss? i have tried it on a smaller basic square monitor but still notice the same problem
