  1. $2k - $3.5k fir the EX-82's!!! I'm going to have to see who much their willing to spend..... DC
  2. Rory, What cameras/setup are you running here? DC
  3. Here is a design view. DC EDITED: CR - Allowed the link through auto stopped by post count limit.
  4. Wow, OK. So I see that for my needs, we're looking at some expensive equipment. I'll have to find out just how much the person that wants this installed is willing to spend. But I'm not too optimistic that he wants to spend that much money. I will look at all options listed and see what the bossman wants to do. Hopefully I'll be able to answer his questions. Like why does it cost so *^$ much?! Several people have mentioned the Panasonic WV-CP484; would this also REQUIRE an IR illuminator? I would prefer to not have to run more cable (power for an illuninator) but if I have to I will. What problems will the current lighting produce? I am going to include a rough layout of the building (I'm at work and have access to MS paint only), showing where the lights are and where the current cameras are. In the top right there is an X, that was the original position of cameras 1 & 2, but proved to be too close to the light and were moved to the their current location, which isn't much better. Camera 1 is on the only entrance into the yard, and the picture isn't horrible, but could be better. Camera 2 is worthless at night what we need an eye on is too far away, and worthless early morning, the sun comes up in view and washes out the picture. Camera's 3 and 4 and decent (when the light stays on - I need to replace the light sensor), but only on the close objects. Would like to be able to see further at night. Thanks for everyones input. DC
  5. Are we down into the $300 per camera range yet?
  6. Wow, that is inviting, and almost within budget. If only it came with a housing. Long range (200ft), outdoor, weather proof, night camera, < $20K. DC
  7. Thanks Collin. That camera is an indoor camera. Is there anything that wouldn't require an outdoor housing?
  8. I currently have some outdoor day/night (color-b/w) IR cameras that just don't work well enough. I'd like to replace them with something better. What I have now are VDI-2001CIH, I think with a Sony CCD sensor. They work great during the day, but I need something with more range (200ft) and has better vision at night. I have a large rectangular building that has outdoor lights on each corner, and that is where I have the cameras. Part of my problem is that at night the lighting washes out the camera image. So, I moved the cameras away from the lighting, but I still can not get a decent night image. I searched the forum looking for topics prior to posting my question. What camera would you recommend for what I need? Any suggestions for placement of the cameras in relation to the existing lighting? My DVR is an SPE-800, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any suggestions, DC
