500 bucks is not realistic. Plus I would say more then one camera would be a more efficent way to tackle that. I would do 4 cams from different angles.

I have used it on the geovision cards before seems to work ok. never had a problem.

lol ladders never fail

DIY= headaches..... Get what you pay for......would you try to give yourself a heart transplant?

The sony line is very nice in general. If you have the extra cash I would buy the SSCE473. Great day/night cam.

AMEN!!!!

I can't believe that more people dont have a voice on this matter. Maybe thats why things are the way they are.

We will be there. Super excited. Like kids in a toy store

GE is really coming out with some great solutions.

It's so true. We are our own industry and we get stuck under the umbrella of the alarm companies. I stress to all my customers that I'm not an alarm company and i only specialize in CCTV. We should start some sort of group.

Anyone have any opinions or recomendations on Mobile DVRs.

Lol I'm well aware. Any good day/night cam is going to switch to b/w anyway in a low light situation. So I dont see what you guys are talking about.

Well I guess everyone has their preferences. I have never had a problem with a day/night cam and from my expierences they preform great.

I think having crisp color images is very important so I tend to not use b/w. The model you posted really is not suitable for a nightclub in my opinion. It only has 380 tv line of resolution which will not look very crip. Plus utilizing A IR cut filter really helps the image in night mode tremendously. I'm a strong believer in quailty over quantity. I have turned away work because customers dont want to spend the money to get what they need and I wont put my name on half ass work. In an office application or somthing low risk not alot of motion the model you posted would be ok but for a nightclub you have low light conditions with lots of movement. I think its a no brainer.

I wouldnt worry about what the customer thinks about the cameras. I have done quite a few bar/nightclubs and I have had many of the owners say that there is an increase in buisness after word gets out a system was installed. People feel safer. You have lots of different options as far as cameras. On midrange budgets I have used the Nuvico NVCC-HW3895IR36N-D. It's a pretty decent camera for the price. Make sure you use a good dvr or capture card. I always use 30fps on each channel for applications like that because there is alot of motion.

I would say its possiable at a very high price tag. Going wireless will atleast double the cost. I would be asking is it worth it? Maybe reevaluate how many cams you need.

Hey Stuart a couple of things to take into consideration when dealing with license plate reg:

1. From how far away do you plan on mounting the cameras from where you will be recording the cars. There are different models to correspond with these distances. Optimal distance is calculated based on a 6 foot wide lane.

2. The maxium angle you want is 40 degrees from where the camera is mounted to where the plate will be. H&V

To anwer your questions:

1: My thought on that is if one unit is setup to record a plate at a certain point if the car is out of that range the image quality would be decresed or useless. So having one for two cars going at the same time wouldnt work.

2: Both cameras do have a seperate dvr channel.

3: The dvr will record the images it records.

yup ill be there both days.

Anyone going both days?

I'll be there!
