Just as a followup, I installed 4 of the Geovision Low-lux bullet cameras (1 megapixel) and one of their little mini-domes for an interior shot. Here are my thoughts. The bullet cameras are BIG. That's not really a bad thing, but they are larger than I was expecting. The housings seem very solid. Low light on these cameras is great. The interior mini-dome is nothing too impressive. Looks good as long as there is light, but that is what we are looking for in our application. I'm about to order some more for another location. Let me know if anyone has any questions!

Hi guys, Thanks for the help! We actually ended up buying one to see how I liked them. Picture is pretty good. As always, Geovision documentation is spotty and awkward, but it seems to have plenty of functionality. I was hoping to get away from DVRs at each location, but I understand now why that would be tough. The good thing is we have enough spare computers lying around that it should not be an issue to get another one set up for an NVR. If anyone else has any more comments about these, I'm sure I'm not the only one looking for them! Thanks!

I've used a field monitor on conventional cameras, but what's standard for ip cams? Thanks!

Hi guys. I currently have a 6 camera system set up using a geovision gv-something) card. We are needing 16 more cameras (we will actually end up with only about 20 total, as I need to replace 2 conventional cameras) across 3 different locations (all networked) I'd like to do IP cameras this time, with POE switches to power them. I'm looking at the Geovision IP cameras. I've been approved on their price, but before I pulled the trigger I wanted to see if anyone has any experience, recommendations, etc for certain models, etc, or if they are garbage, let me know. We are getting ready to spend some money. Also, how,easy is it to record from the geovision ip cameras? I know they have a minisd slot, but not sure how best to configure these. Our primary use will be to record what happens on nights/weekends, and for remote viewing. We already have a dvr set up for the conventional cameras, so I would not mind keeping it all centralized. Oh, one more thing. I'd love for the boss to be able to see these via his iPad. Is that doable with these? Thanks in advance for the help and advice! I've learned a lot on these boards!

Thanks for the help, guys.

I like that, but the tiles are about 2 x 4' rather than 2' x 2'... Any suggestions?

Hi guys. Fairly new to CCTV. Have a Geovision system running at my house and will likely be installing a new system at my father's business this year. My question is, what type of mounts do you guys use for drop ceilings? I have seen domes used quite a bit, and that seems pretty straightforward, but what about if you want to mount a box camera (and not leave it exposed, but using an enclosure). I have gotten best picture quality out of these. Thanks for the forum, and thanks in advance for suggestions!
