    Tom,

     

    I believe I might be wrong, thats why I want to find out Can you comment with some facts, numbers?

     

    At day time with 3mpix you get for example 200pix/m, then at night with 1.3mpix sensor you would get lets say 100pix/m, which is not enough any more for some object recognition. Whats the point of having second smaller size sensor?

    Watched all of the ipacademy youtube videos. Yes, Mobotix is good, but IMO there is a lot of bluff.

     

    1. Decentralised system, so you don't need powerful PC/server which is costly. There is not much cost difference IMO between buying expensive cameras and cheap PC VS buying cheap cameras and expensive PC. Decentralised Mobotix approach might be cost effective only on big systems with many cameras. PC cost is moved to expensive camera itself.

    2. You don't need PC with NVR. Imagine retail shop with 8 cameras and NAS for recording. How are you going to watch live or recorded footage? You still need PC for it.

    3. Stand alone recording and self contained DVR on microSD card. Come on guys, how much 3mpix video you can record on 4GB card? Not a lot. Yes, you can buy 32GB card, but price All cost effectiveness goes down the drain.

    4. Software is NOT free, its included in camera`s price and cameras are expensive.

    5. Cant really understand idea of dual sensor camera where one is 3mpix and other 1.3mpix for night view. If you can see number plates with 3mpix, then you wont see them with 1.3mpix. So, whats the point of having second sensor if its useless?

     

    I would like Mobotix installers comment on this. I might be wrong on my points

    While far from being experts, If anyone has questions on Mobotix feel free to PM me and I will if we can help. We will be adding a wiki eventually to our site with frequent problems and solutions as we find them or help our customers on the Mobotix Cameras.

     

    Example:

     

    Mobotix M24: We have had many customers contact us about setting up a new camera and having blurry images after installing the lens which ships un-attached.

     

    Solution: Most customers do not tighten the included lens tightly enough to seat correctly into the camera. The solution is to tighten the lens ring, by hand only, until it feels snug. Turn on the camera and watch on the browser the camera feed. Slowly continue to tighten the lens ring by hand past the point it feels snug in quarter to 1/8 turn increments until you have achieved optimal focus for your location. The initial lens snugness you feel is the bottom of the lens unit against the rubber gasket inside the camera for weatherproofing and most people stop at this point fearing over tightening the unit.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Talked to a real Mobotix rep for my region.. they don't have a live one setup anywhere where I could login. Unbelievable...

     

    Nothing unbelievable, they are CRAP when it comes taking care of customers. I sent support email them two days ago, no reply. Local distributor is useless, cant help. Thats what you get paying such a high price

     

    Can you lookt at this problem and help me please?

    I tried Exacq once, but it was complicated to install

     

    I installed the previous major release and upgraded to the current major release. Both the install and upgrade on Windows was both easy and quick.

     

    Best,

    Christopher

     

    It was some 2 years ago. Installation was kind of wierd and I couldnt get my head around it, error messages kept popping up. Emailed support but they werent very helpful(probably because I wasnt their customer, just potential customer).

     

    Just tried downloading, cant, asking for password. Seems that they dont have trial?

    I would like to see how Atom would handle live view of 2mpix H264 camera Which NVR software?

     

     

    ExacqVision

     

    I have a Atom 330 server with 2 1.3MP Areconts (h.264)and 1 AV8185 Arecont(4 2MP h.264 streams) works great.. Look at theExacqvisions EL box, 16 analog cameras and up to 24MP cameras on a Atom based system. Arecont cameras use less processing power with h.264 then MJPEG. The Atom works great for low cost low camera count MP setups if you upgrade to a dual core you could do up to 64 IP cameras on one box.

     

    Sounds unreal Then I should scrap my loved Luxriot I tried Exacq once, but it was complicated to install and support wasnt great, so never tried again.

    Some customer wants to record and monitor approx 25-26 2megapixel (h.264) cameras but i just cant esteem the parameters of the pc that can handle this...

     

    is there any server pc config that can handle 25piece of 2mpixel h.264 stream? And what video card can render this?

     

    I doubt there is any cpu on the market which can handle you requirements. To display live view even 4 H.264 2mpix cameras you need Quad core cpu. If you will be displaying live just 4 or 9 cameras, then you should be OK with Core i7. HDD should be able to handle, as H.264 is 7-9 times smaller than MJPEG.

     

    I have Atom based PCs that decodes multi-megapixel cameras with out a problem. It all depends on the NVR software you are using.

    The problem is that he is a kind of amateur pc geek ( and to such people it's just impossible to explain that maximum doesn't meen the best). He has a server unit with 4GB of ram and Dual core processor and 1GB video card, so right now we have to upgrade his system. I've installed and tried everything as he wanted but processor is almost non stop at 100%.

     

    Just dont deal with idiots He will need most powerful Core i7, but even then he wont get 25fps. H264 is too power consuming.

    Oh, I didn't know that it's the same software.

    Well, his requirement is for live view of all cameras and he wants the max frame rate possible ( he wants everything as max as posssible, but, his money so... )

     

    Sanyo is just selling it double price But if you look on luxriot.com supported device page, all these Sanyo cameras are there(if they have updated their page). Max fps is 25, its impossible with H264 and there is no point unless its F1 race track. Is fine with 12fps. But even with 12, he would need VERY powerful Core i7 cpu, 4gb ram and 512mb video card.

    NVR software will be VA-SW50 SANYO VMS Advanced.

    Customer wants to view and record his seven VCC-HD2500P cameras in H.264 in 1920x1080 and two VCC-P7575P domes with VA-50LAN module in max possible resolution. He also wants a live view of all cameras. Recording will be motion triggered, and required storage should last at least five days.

     

    Sanyo = Luxriot. They just paid money and Luxriot produced branded version for Sanyo.

    I still need to know answers to these questions:

    Are you going to watch live all cameras or just playback when needed?

    What framerate are you planning?
