Nice Scorpion!! This will be very useful for quick referance

Hello, Just wanted to take a sec and say Hi to everyone, I have found the info in the forum priceless. Thanks to all

Wow thats alot of cameras!! Just curious did you wire them with coax or cat 5?

could you post some pics of the quality of those cameras? I was going to by the kpc 600h but I am afraid they wont be that great and I would be stuck with them. Thanks

What kind of problems have you been having??? Are the units just turning colors? I was going to buy three of these for the house would you recommend them? Thanks

Mike, I see you were up late , The night video link might be incorrect, it wont open. Thanks for the video!!

It doesnt matter which one you use (unless your software doesnt recognize UDP traffic) you should just keep it at TCP. The differance between the two is that TCP will do an error check (thus being a little heavy on the bandwidth) but UDP doesnt. However, it sends everything down errors and all (bad packets). Your router may be having an issue forwarding the traffic. Check out portforward.c0m (cant post yet so replace that zero ), just find your router in the list and follow the steps, it makes it easier to set up than the directions you get with those routers. Good Luck.

Rory, That does look pretty good and not to shabby of a price, but do you know of one that has 120fps/D1 704x480? I really dont need the h.264 as long as it MPEG 4 and networkable.

One other thing it needs that the G4-LTA lacks is it needs to record full 4CIF/D1 704 X 480 Pixels at 30fps per channel. Now that would be a find!!

Hmmm, so do you think its the cameras quality at night or the DVR? I was just getting ready to pull the trigger on that DVR and 3 of the G4-400HPT cameras but now you got me worried. What do you think?

Did you ever get rid of this?? If not can it be used outside (is it weatherproof). Thanks

That only comes up with one result under Google that is a dead link. You have any more info? Or could you PM me the site? Thanks

Oh yeah, and check out this info I got from the Intellicam website, I have never seen this offered by any other company: Warranty Period All of our DVR systems feature an industry leading 3 year protection period. Even our installed HDD units are covered under this 3 year peace of mind policy. Compare warranty policies before making your final decision. We don’t add or conceal the cost or up-sell this peace of mind. Both our DVR manufacturer and our HDD supplier are that confident. We install Seagate model SV35 HDD units in all of our DVR products. Engineered for the harsh “alwaysâ€

Well I just got off the phone with Mike, hard to find anyone these days to answer the phone on a Saturday then spend 30 minutes answering all of your questions. I think his business is going to do well if he keeps that up!! Anyway I have the same issue as kampkrusty and have decided to go with the G4-LTA and three of the G4-400HPT cameras (wish I could afford the fourth ) Once I get the system I will give my COMPLETE unbiased opinion and include some screen shots and stuff. I curretly have an older (2005) dvr that I am replacing with this one. I was really happy with the user interface and stuff. Anywho, I dont think you can go wrong with either and Mike does have some pretty good prices on his site, aswell as free shipping and free DDNs. Sounds like a win win to me. PS Mike if you get this and wouldnt mind pm'ing me that site and password you offered earlier for the G4-LTA, I would like to look at it. See ya
