    These are the cameras that I have set up with a 8 camera system. I was told by the person who did my install that these were good quality cameras. Does any one have any experience with these or can anyone interpet the specs to say of these are low quality, average quality, or high quality?

    The link doesnt work...i think this is the cam http://www.ebay.com/itm/EYEMAX-IB-6325-Dome-Security-Camera-700-TVL-24-IR-LED-SONY-EFFIO-E-DSP-2-9mm-/110854568971

    Specs are often meaningless..how is the picture? Im guessing you dont like the quality....How much was the install?

    On a new install you should have gone with ip cameras...not analog...

    CRD, Since you are getting good images from the second camera...look at the foam ring around the lens and make sure its flush with the dome.

     

    Read the link [MOD; removed external forum link and added link here]

    Ir could also be reflecting from the soffit above the camera...although its doesnt seem to be causing an issue with the good camera.

    Thanks for the link again.

     

    Upon further research, I've decided on the HikVision from Aliexpress.

    Pretty feature rich dome that fits my bill.

    Its a nice camera...when you install it make sure that the lens is clean inside and out and that there is nothing near the IR that will cause ir reflection (or fog)...make sure the foam gasket around sits flush with the dome cover so that it prevents ir bleed.

    I am using the public address.

    I am able to access it using web browser, even from external network.

    But when i use the program iVMS-4000 it just can't connect. I tried both ports 81 and 554.

    Any help is appreciated.

    I believe ivms requires port 8000 to be forwarded as well...actually it doesnt even need the http port...check the manual for the "media port" it should be 8000 by default...

    You didnt say how you fixed the damaged cable...regardless you issue is most likely related to a using a coupler or even the jelly...when working at the fringes of specs you need a single run cable...and as others have mentioned preferably cat6. Also ensure the cable you are using is solid copper not CCA or copper clad aluminum.

    that will work. another option is the hikvision 2032..both are good cameras.

    If you are willing to order from china you can save a good chunk of change..make sure to specify 3.6mm lens and english firmware. You wont be able to return and no warranty but its 40 dollars less.

    Just installed a new qsee QC408 and I can login locally with admin and the new account I setup under the admin group but when I connect to the system via my PC and the ipaddress:85 for HTTP, when I type in the username and password, it tells me invalid password. Anyone know what's going on? I get the Qsee web service page but it won't take my username and password.

    So you cannot log in remotely? What ports did you forward? are you using the correct external ip address?

    $1000 should be enough for two hd varifocal domes above and behind the register, one directly over to see the money going in and one behind or in front to see who is at the register, behind would show the customer giving the money.

    Whatever is left can be put for fake domes or cheap domes to prevent employee time theft. Later slowly he can add more cams or upgrade them. Deal with the bigger issue first. And get good cables.

    I like this idea. I will look at vari focal cameras for this set up for sure. Add cameras as he can afford it is good too, he is a cash and carry kind of guy.

    Cables: I got a deal recently on 1000 foot spools of Beldon rg6 and rg6 quad. I bought them at $25.00 per spool from a supplier that is going out of business. This cable was a really nice upgrade for my own lower end home system. I plan on using a central power supply box with 18/2 wire for power. The spaghetti string cables that come with these "kits" are just useless in my humble opinion. The shortest run will be about 60 ft. and the longest will be just over 100 ft.

     

    Thanks for the advice.

    You cannot use that cable with HD cameras unless you are going to use sdi or something like that which should not be used in a new install. Run ethernet and use something like hikvision 2732 that has an sd card if you dont want to invest in an NVR.

    Lots of reading to do...

    You dont want a cheap analog system that give you 8 cams and a dvr for 200.

    You want an ip system. Run ethernet to all cams..use power over ethernet - single wire to each cam. You dont even need a pc. Just use an NVR.

    A system like this http://www.costco.com/Q-See-8-Channel-HD-NVR-Security-System-with-2TB-HDD-and-6-1080p-Cameras.product.100128993.html

     

    You can choose to buy cameras and use a pc for nvr. You will need to buy a poe switch. And software, which can get expensive depending on what you use (some charge 50 dollars per cam or more)...Do not build your own. You can buy a business refurbished pc with the same processor as in your original post for 300 with a next business day warranty. You cannot even buy the processor and OS for that money. But honestly for a novice like you, get a prepackaged system...

    How about this camera. It is expensive, and that is a problem.

     

    Any suggestions on a decent cheaper camera.

    You are joking right? that is a 40 dollar analog camera its junk....thats too expensive?

    Look at the hikvision 2032 4mm camera..you can get it for 85-150 depending on where you buy it from. Look at a aliexpress.

    Please do more reading before you even build a pc or buy a single camera.

    Sit this guy down and tell him what an idiot he is. He is loosing $3000 annually (and thats the money he knows about) but only wishes to allocate 1k for security....that makes a lot of sense... You are not getting a good ptz for 150...get a varifical camera so you can adjust the zoom during installation.

    I'm new on the forum and I just got a DS-2CD3132-i. The camera is working on V5.1.6_140612. SADP went ok, detected the camera in a blink of an eye, setup my IP., Installed iVMS-4200, added the camera, can see the picture.. but.... the PTZ dosen't work ! I can click on the arrows to move the camera, but nothing happen.. every other function for the setup, CCD etc work, but PTZ not..

     

    anyone has a clue? I almost pulled all the hair of my head..

     

    Well... The 2CD3132 is not a PTZ camera, so do not expect it to move much, no matter how hard you click on the arrows. You might want to take the camera (with your hands), and point it wherever you want it to look at.

    These posts are cute...pop up on various forums every once in a while...
