mcs

pro's and con's One wholesaler here pushes them, havent had much to do with them oither then the fact that you can stack them

5 mins from go to woe for geo training, your cust isnt real smart if he cant work out a geo I was pc illiterate and am self taught, Design, Build, Install and maintain all our systems so far up to 48 cameras on one site. Hes downgrading if he replaced the geo-

6.xx Pfffft Upgrade man

Looking for possily 4 - 4ch dvr's to suit vehicles, and some covert cams like they use in buses etc to stop kids wrecking them anyone, I also need pricing and information to take to client thanks

yeah the 1 im using has mpeg4 hdd or CIF 1ch-640x480 4xh-320x240@ 10fps CF, USB2 or LAN backup 12w Can connect with GPRS Mpeg4 watch dog recycle for hdd 2,7g anti vib (5-500khz;3d $ cheap to, so far cheapest I have come across for the quality ( no middlemen)

yeah I have a lowned and high end 4ch MDVR lined up, going for UFO style cameras as they want them discreet. Looks like hte mobs doing the cctv for cabbies and that are expensive, I can supply 1 cam and dvr fitted for what they want for their dvr's, but there is a difference-purpoise built. I have a bus with a mdvr in it from ages ago NO issue, also a few vcr style units from 98 still running. cheers for the info

Does any one have anything to say about Tibet (magic radar) dvrs or cards, id like some info

Thx I have emailed them for a price on 4, they look impressive, Cheers

Yah Karl says HI, From the experience I have of their machines They are built tought The gui is ok windows embedded so its not so bad, only used for dvr Karls got the right attitude and foresight. He is intelligent and has enough hands on as you know. Karls like me, customer focused, very support/service orientated. I only found out who he was after speaking with him today- hahaha Small world.

Tests done By www.benchmarkmagazine.com Samsung matches same quality as PANASONIC- but beats the price.

SHC740 Ill post pics I got in late (Long drive from Brisbane) cheers

Bought some Geovision cards off a company in Hoing kong, they are dodgy one didnt even work when I booted the pc. sent back got refund I have used heaps of GEO and am after a legit distributor who wont rip me off, I have to keep costs down to compete, Got some comart cards other day finds out your limited to what MB you use and it may get worse with the amalgamation of the two companies who manufacture the MB's in Taiwan Any one email me middy01 (@) gmail.com Thanks

Yeah NP I am using Altech have looked at geo Au but to dear Altech have picked up their game ( just got 6 k worth of stuf off them) and it wasnt a rush so was fine. ordered a week b4 the gear turened up (5 days) Ill look into the otherss cctv_d_U thanks for acknowledging me

Loop, thats cool but it dont specify which cards they use. cheers

1.5 mile view (focal length) or 1.5m signal transmission ???

Im sure a 3.5mm lense is to wide for a view like hes looing for prob 8-12mm would be better for a real close up. I always use varifocal, cause wheat you think the customer wants can change, and yes just replaced 3 3.5x8mm lenses yday with 2.8-12mm cause he wants them wider, you know you get less detail when you go to wide in a big view. Ie carpark.. Ir bullet cams are what I use for peoples front doors, hes not recording only viewing - so hi res isnt required, remb hes only got a 320 Hline tv. I think you have got a bargain for what you have, remb the pic will be better then the one hes taken off his camera. I wouldnt worry about higher res and changing it cause its your front door and your neighbours can help secure your building to if they can pick up the signal...

WOW I dont think geo is demanding, you know the cost a dvr these days I build a decent GEO with UPS, 17" samsung lcd, over spced pc, for 2500, to compare to something on the market well prob 5k or more 500gb hdd, and well I think you should try geo again, I have built heaps and have heaps in the feild running since like 2003 get a base card base machine, just dont try and run it on 128mb ram like I have seen one company dvr they build... 50 fps over 16 cams is SAD

Im sorry but nothing compares to geo, LOL did you have enough airflow? I checked a gv1000 running 12 cams today nice and smooth hasnt missed a beat since may2005 zonealarm ran out actually so it had no AV for god know how long ran AVG7.5 did dl Up's and scan in safe mode, NO issue there are alot of factors, and variables.

I presume from the Panasonic/Samsung reference that you are discussing the camera test that appeared in the July/August 2006 issue, featuring Bosch,CBC, GE Security, Honeywell, JVC, Vicon, Videcon and of course Panasonic and Samsung Techwin. This was the first part of the test; the second part featured cameras from Baxall, Eyes 2 Eyes, Deview, Pelco, Sanyo, Siemens,Sony and Vista. All testing is carried out in real world situations with the products (cameras in this case) performing side by side. We have another publication, PSI, which features independent tests on products based around bench reports, but Benchmark puts the kit into real applications to see what an installer is likely to achieve, performance wise. We have been testing security equipment for around 15 years, and our team collectively has over 200 years experience in the electronic security industry (sometimes it does feel as if those years are consecutive). The actual testing (in this case) looked at four areas. These were image resolution, colour and greyscale reproduction, day/night performance and functionality. Our attitude is that it matters not if a camera (or any other device) is bristling with functions; you only get marks for those that are likely to be of use ... and they must work too! The exact testing process varies from test to test, as we look at different aspects of performance, and as the seasons dictate! Everything we do is catalogued, and this means we even mention what the weather was like when testing! However, ultimately the performance of a product is judged against its peers. Because of our knowledge of the market-place, we are also able to assess whether that performance is industry-leading, or just the best in a bunch of products. As an example, when testing for sensitivity, we adopt a universal and (some might argue, especially those with poor cameras) slightly old fashioned approach. We measure the minimum light level at the viewed scene, in lux, that is required to allow the camera to deliver a 1 volt peak to peak video signal with all processing and signal boosting turned off. This allows readers to instantly see which perform the best without allowing for IRE figures, differing lens apertures, processing elements or - quite frankly - utter bull****. As an aside, all of our test products are sourced via distribution, or where this is not possible via tame installers. This means that manufacturers do not know we are testing the product, nor can they prepare product especially for us! Some one asked about Image Resolution Accuracy and Image Resolution Achieved. The latter is the best resolution we could achieve with the camera in the conditions of the test. However, when considering high resolution cameras, some are 480 TVL, some are 510TVL, some are 520TVL and some are 540TVL. By simply considering resolution achieved, it would initially appear as if a poorly performing 540TVL camera is better than a 480TVL camera performing well. In order to remove confusion, we also show how well the cameras perform by showing the percentage of accuracy against the published specification. For example, a 480TVL camera delivering 460TVL is delivering 96 per cent of its specified resolution. It's a process to ensure that people can't use the data we provide in an unethical way. Any other questions, feel free to ask.I apologise if any of the above leaves you still confused, but this written in a hurry, and when I have a few free seconds I'll gladly take more time to go into more detail. -- PSI ­ the only independent technical magazine for security installers http://www.psimagazine.co.uk Benchmark - the performance index for security solutions http://www.benchmarkmagazine.com

rx - receiver tx transmitter cheap lil modules we use for tough jobs. They work well. low light cam might work if its .00001 in dark depends how much light is on the scene I sue IR here its the best, with an IR camera and ir corrected lense

I can get wireless rx and tx, and you can use any camera ( high or low quality), or you can buy wireless IR bullet cam on ebay cheers *wont be 60 bucks!

I have done it for you, await the reply and stay tuned blurb; BENCHMARK - THE PERFORMANCE INDEX FOR SECURITY SYSTEMS Benchmark is the only magazine in the security industry which is dedicated to establishing a performance index for electronic security products and solutions. It achieves this in two ways; firstly by group-testing equipment and technologies to establish real-world results, and secondly by visiting projects and discussing the merits and benefits of the solutions with the end user. Benchmark also collates data from previous tests and assessments and uses this information to create its performance index; a feature that allows readers to quickly and easily check performance data about products and components. This information will also be available in multimedia formats in the near future. All Benchmark tests are fully independent and are supervised by the Benchmark editorial team. All products are tested simultaneously and with the same supporting equipment. Details of such equipment are given as a part of the test process. Manufacturers are not involved in the tests, and products for group-tests are selected by the Benchmark editorial team following consultation with installers and specifiers. Because Benchmark is fiercely independent, you can be sure that you are receiving unbiased and honest information. Ensure that you are kept up-to-date with the facts about security system performance; subscribe to Benchmark, the only indepedent performance-related index for security solutions.
