Try resetting the IP camera to factory defaults, then you should be able to get into it using the default login.

Try Tranzeo.

Leave the residential market to X10

sunkwang?

I think i've rented that.

There's nothing better than getting paid to do what you love.

Yeah the hand thing is pretty cool. Here's a shot from one of ours last week.

I know what you mean, if we weren't solar, we could use IR no problem. Until they get around 500 foot distance at about 5-10w @ 12VDC, I just can't use them. I'll stop by Extreme's booth at ISC and see what all they have.

By the way, anyone else here going to ISC West in April?

Lets remember that thermal is not vulnerable to light blinding -- that is a stadard or active infrared camera (in almost all cases) is easily disabled with a spotlight. Thermal would only show you the person holding the the light source and the heat of the bulb emitting the light.

There is also the problem that IR bulbs need to be replaced periodically, while uncooled thermal imagers don't.

Thermal range is now at >10 Miles, military applications are over 20 miles. The power consumption on cooled thermal is 14w @ 12VDC, while uncooled imagers are at 3w @ 12vdc.

Just for grins and giggles, what's the power consumption on a active IR camera that can see 2 miles?

Thermal's detection range is usually much much further than IR illumination. Thermal also makes movement much more "vivid" than IR illumination. Thermal doesn't however have the facial recognition or detail of IR illumination.

I saw the thermal imaging and it looks pretty good, but we pay MUCH less for our thermal cameras than 70k.

Can you access the camera menu and reset the camera, at least to start troubleshooting from a clean slate.

Looks like FLIR thermal cores.

I'm interersted to see as well.

I hear Tranzeo works decent, but it is pretty pricey.

Solar isn't too bad cost wise-- as long as you run equipment that isn't power hungry. The trick is finding equipment that is low on power consumption so that you can minimize solar cost. Just a little homework, that's all.

I have looked into Extreme's solar that is on their website. I wonder how they get by with the solar equipment that they show and the power consumption they state on their equipment.

Because they actually keep track of your daily/weekly/monthly kilobyte usage. If youre streaming video over for any extended period of time, they'll know.

Much like their phones, their aircards speed is based upon where you are. You cannot use their network for anything other than surfing the internet and checking your email- per the small print in their advertising. Their service is approx 2-3 times as fast as mediocre dialup in our area.

Haha, true true. In most cases, you're right. Unless you are going to be moving your security from place to place, have a SUPER long run or just don't have a choice, then running wires is cheaper. You have to admit tho, it takes the cool factor down a few notches.

Of course.

You have to think of solar panels as you would a cars alternator. Your car runs off your battery source, and your battery gets charged through the alternator. Same thing with solar, only replace the alternator with solar panels.

LOL Rory- enough said

Airick- yes it's feasible, all of our cameras are solar powered. It's also more reliable-- impervious to power outages

What's analogue?

If you go wireless and solar, there is no wire to pull.

what brand did you use for the 42" plasmas and did you have them come right from the dvr or did you have a video dist hub? i need to setup 2 42" plasmas for one 16 channel dvr and am worried about the resolution and how i should set it up?

 

thx

 

pg

I've got a couple 42" plasmas that I can sell you for "cheap". We upgraded/expanded to something else and they are just sitting in the corner collecting dust.

It's only money...

Couldn't the same argument be made for using and NVR? Afterall, there'd only be 1 IP to manage there, at least in the end...

We are probably going to be installing up north pretty soon, would it be cool if we stopped by your office to see your place?
