questions on the frame rate of mega cam on Aver systems..

How's the frame on live display and the recorded video

What is the recording resolution? 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768?

I have messed with Vivotek cameras and encoder, it seems slow.

Ikegami makes far better cameras than they are given credit for. They also come with a 10 year warranty.

10years?!!!

what about for ptz?

Sorry guys, I tried to add the rest of cameras to the list but I don't see any options to do that. Maybe the forum doesn't support that feature or I just don't know where to look.. anyway just post

Thanks

Which MANUFACTURERS make the best cameras

Guys, in general products...I like to see what you guys think

Let me know if I missed any main players on the poll

Thanks

I agree with above you get what u paid for.

Most stand alone are craps and hard to use

If you are viewing it from remote site, it could just be your transmission rate on the DVR settings. Pretty much all of the DVR i have seen have setting usually on network setting to send high to low quality video cross tcp/ip

$150 camera should give you a decent picture

The problem of putting it outside it can be tamper with and when it rain there's nothing to wipe of the lens

It's got to be able to see at night while the car is moving..let just say it's in a police car

Anyone know how to solve IR reflecting of a car wind shield?

Ok, I'm sure a lot of you guys may have explained on this topic before.

I'm still not clear on this camera spec because a lot of website listed that spec differently

I have seen a lot of website store posting spec of.

480TVL camera

NTSC: 510 x 492

Now, usually this NTSC line is on 420 tvl cameras..

Are there rules that you guys goes by when looking at camera specs..

420tvl 510x492

540tvl 768 x 494

?

I know it's more complex than a TVL..lens, ccd add on features etc..

but i want to keep the topic on TVL

Thanks

Don't you have to pay a broker or custom if u import anything over 1000 or 2000 dollars?

So far the system seems decent, but when we hooked up all 32 cams, the turbo button dissappeared and we are finding the video a bit choppy. May try calling tech support, not sure yet. Overall, its good, but I think the Megapixel cams will make the biggest difference.

Well, maybe it's a resources hog?

What board, chip, ram and video card did u go with?

Got it figured out. The Turbo button doesn't appear until you have cameras connected to it. Pretty decent video quality, and real time. It's actually quite impressive.

Hey 501, you can't view all 32 ch on the main screen and on the rms client side?

How's the transmission rate coming through the rms ?

Can you back up or write avi directly to cd/dvd?

Have u tested audio quality?

Thanks

Hey camelwalk i see on your website

AVerMedia Hybrid 16 Channel DVR KIT 1 x NV5000 Card + 3 x Video Extension Card - 120 FPS

Where's the audio extension card for 4 ch audio?

Where's I/O? for Sensor and Relay?

and where do you make the ptz connections?

forgive me if i'm not asking the right questions.

I haven't build any geo or aver systems yet.. I'm just kind of gathering info rite now.

You can forward it each one by one or you can port range it.

Port 80 is not automatic, u still have to forward it.

enable tcp if option is available

Yes, I see that Geovision have a better range of cards.

Like how Aver have a wide range of IP cams support

Thank you for replying.

I have also looked at Avermedia cards NV3000,5000, 7000 etc..

I guess Avermedia doesn't make a low end card with 16ch.

To get 16ch. you have to stack them, am i correct?

which is hard to find a motherboard these days that have 4 pci slots.

I've been surfing around for the cheapest price on geovision card and trying to understand software vs hardware. I'm looking at the low end GV 600 ..4ch 30fps. I'm a bit confused of what version of the card and what software version does it goes with it?

Does Geovision cards works with their latest software? even if the card it's an older version etc?

How do you tell which card is new and old?

I've seen some website that say it comes with version 7.05 and some website says version 8.0

Please help explain

for 1 in put 16 out puts bnc

1 in 32 out

1 in 64 out

Thanks

Thanks for the info..

I will help you out.

 

Have you ever worked for a cctv company before?

What experience do you have?

 

I have a question: What is the difference in view between the 2.8mm, the 4mm, the 6mm, and the 50mm lens? This question is very important.

 

Based on your answer I can get you started on the fast track.

The bigger the mm is more zoom in.. smaller mm is zoom out.. fix lens are cheaper but veri focal is flexible.. If you can get a cheap veri focal from 2.6 to 12mm with IR for small job, i think it's good.

Thanks imcclendon,

A lot of ppl out there is one man company.. I know its totally possible

I'm lack experience in sales and installation..

Thanks all all for your replies..

I don't have the money to hire the workers for my company.

I thought if I can sell the products including installation charge

I can hire a installation company to come out and run the wire etc..

Some jobs I think I can do it my self.. a 4 channels for small businesses

...

Sorry, I'm not too sure where to post this.

I've been working for a security computer as a tech for a while now.

I'm thinking about becoming a dealer on my own selling and installing it locally then expand later.

I have never done sales and I don't know how to go about of finding the customers to buy the product.....

I thought of just walk into all stores and talk to the worker-->manager-->*then hope the owner*

about the products and maybe they will buy?

I don't know how do you guys conduct your business?

Please help guide me toward the light

Thanks

Hello

I'm new here

I have been building PC DVR for a while now but on no brand names..

I'm interested in Avermedia NV5000 4 channel card..

Have anyone ever done 4x4 of this card in one system to get 16ch?

If so how well does it works?

Any software issue with locking up, errors, etc..?

Thanks,
