    The PTZ in the first pic posted looks like a Acutvista product. The three hole top assembly and removable wire feed plate on the arm are the same as all the ones Ive used from them. (http://www.acutvista.com.tw/outdoorPTZ.htm)

     

     

    Similar, but only has 3 alarm I/P- and only does Pelcod,

     

    Seems to be a better quality one from the specs, how much do you think they sell for,

     

    I think these ones come from HK or China, supplier sent from HK within 5 days arrived in Aus... thanks

     

    They had no name and werent branded

    Or open port 88- then set your web port on the dvr to 88 also,

    Port forward rules are easy dependant on the modem/router,

     

     

    You will require a router if your modem hasnt one built in, and you have one Ethernet port and more then one pc/device, checkout portforward.com also for most models,

    Soz to sound like a grunch, but its not really rocket science,

    If it was working b4 and not after it had to be user error, Upgrading to 1480 with v8.xx will only give you more features, have many a many v6/v7 system out there plodding along fine,

     

     

     

    I love the ID10T error thingy, its a joke, but its funny as

    I have a 4ch DVR with a 160GB hd recording 30 frames per second total - I get about 2 days history.

     

    Difference is the recording format

     

    jpeg

    mjpeg

    mpeg or mpeg4,

     

    Also depends on amount of movement, all of my customers dvr's differ in recording depending on activity etc,

     

    I always found to get more out of my geo systems running mpeg4 or better, then any standalone,

     

    I used to like to for their price, but now Im in the market as a major player I dont bother with crap - its to painful later

    I would go for GEOVISION, either prebuild or buy yourself and build/config,

     

    1280 card is fine with SMART record (uses frames from inactive cameras to bump up recroding on active cameras) or gv1480 and not muck around,

     

    It will do all you want and more

     

    I give a 3 year wty with my DVR's now- geo cards have 3 yrs, ram is lifetime, hdd's are the only prob but they are cheap nowdays to replace every few years if you have to,

    COOLING is the issue for reliable pc's (pc based dvr's) ,

     

     

     

    I wouldn't bother with anything else, and it should be competitive on price to considering the costs of PC's these days.

    I have never had problems with time lapse, have played back on samsung and mitsu from sony and mitsu,

    Most police stns here have dif brand to what we sold and installed,

     

    As long as its time lapse and played back in the same format - 8/12/24hrs/24l it will work,

     

    Playing back to burn to cd/dvd- I wouldnt bother with cd as it will fill up quickly,

     

    You can buy an adapter that can plug into USB on a pc/laptop and record composite input from anything like a tv, camera, vcr etc etc, I used to use them on dvr's with no dvd/cd burner, but get sick of going back to site for events. SPECIALLY XMAS !!!!

     

     

     

    BTW

    I allow 20-30gb a day from my dvr's, 500gb min in a machine.

    Also there is NO issue with "Seperation" as in this country we have to be so far from high voltage (50mm for lv 240vac) and 100 + for higher,

    So if you have a difficult job fibre is the go, just watch the bend rating on your fibre and how you treat it, ITS NOT COAX

    You will require Fibre termination tool, either Fusion or Splice, bit exxy

     

    You can buy a fusion tool which will do the work, just put the two cut ends of fibre in and you have a pigtail...

     

     

    Fibre isnt that special, really if your using single mode, ask ur supplier, hell steer you in the right direction for what you need on a case by case basis,

     

    Making sure you have the correct modems is important on a network,

     

    In Australia we have to do a cabling course to run any type of "network connectable devices" and so learn the basics, Unless you o further courses at TAFE or another training institution, then its all teach urself...

    Agree

    you have to go with Hardware RAID, because software raid isnt all that good

     

    If you get a virus, its on all drives

    if you get a spike, it affects all hardware,

    If the p/s shaits itself, there goes ur server, ur offline and the only thing s/w raid is good for is cheap servers...

     

     

    Looks like some serious earthworks happening at that place, and some serious money being spent- ie labour saving
