i have used a computar and tamron and tonika [all AI] and i have also used a different camera on the line [the new ganz that levon sells] and the yellowing only happens on the pano 484.

i have a pano 484 cam in a retail situation under floresant lighting and for some reason only this camera changes the color of flat white surfaces of the counter every 5 seconds to a shade of yellow. this happens just in a spot in the middle of the picture that probaly reflects a lot of ambiant light. this does not happen with other cameras and ive tried other lenses and swaped just about everything including cable runs. it still does this and ive put the settings on the pano on default and ran it on both voltages. there is a significant amount of backlight that whites out the picture somewhat when its real sunny but over all the picture with this cam is almost 3d. the color change is subtle but annoying to me? any thoughts?

what do you think is the best interior dome for retail applications with floresant lighting in a high res for the money ? i mean something with quality like the pano 484 sd III or ?

my needs for dvr are in this order, 1] need high quality picture recording with audio 2] need long term storage 30to 60 days for 4 cams in motion 3]need to be able to remote view w/ audio either live or recorded, but again the picture quality is utmost. would sacrifice remote capability for actual quality of recording. and am able to spend 5 to 7 thousand per system

is it still the ge kalatal dvr, over the rest, which are to me the honeywell, toshiba, atv, nuvico, clinton, sanyo, gvi, and video insight?

i thought that pelco and honeywell were not the same thing? the price i got for a 4 cam [rem-fpk1 ] one terabite, was from either spytown or 2mcctv i think? i saw one of the fusions at honeywell show in seattle and it outshined any other there. adi price was way higher. i also found a sdvr-10-600 ge for less than 4 k. do you think the ge is better than the fusion or a atv dvr?

by the way i am finding the panasonic super III 484 camera awesome.

has anyone used the high end honeywell FUSION dvr ? it is pc based and seems to have all the bells and whistles along with very high quality pictures both live and remote ? as this unit costs around $5000 i assume it is head and shoulders above the video insight pc based dvr?

has anyone had any experience with a pc based toshiba surveillex or evr series dvr? these are fairly high powered units. also has anyone used or installed the Clinton line of dvrs specifically the CE-DVR080? looking for high quality recordings/ 8 channel/ with single audio / remote viewing / 60 days storage?

any help is greatly apprieciated, thank you

sorry rory, your remote wiew works fine. i just didnt see where it was on the page.

i cant get any dvrs to come up on rorys site? shows only one 4 channel unit without any picture??

by low end units in four channel /triplex/ stand alone/ 320gig+ hdd/ i assume you mean costing less than $2000.00?

i am looking to find a really good dvr for around 5k, is that possible?? i thought it was? If you read my original post asking for any suggestions it will be self explanatory, thanks,

thanks for your imput. i live in the seattle, wa. area. i wonder if the Video Insight pc dvr would be a good choice for my application? the fact that they offer a 30 day return policy makes me want to try it out. regarding my entry lever dsl line this is only on the actual site or upload side. i quess i should think in terms of $5000.00 to $6500.00 as cost for the dvr? once i ran across a dvr on the web that had swapable hard drives that you could remove from the dvr and connect it to any remote pc to view its contents. have you heard of something like this? it would allow a retail store owner to take home the recordings from his store and compare them to the actual paper invoices generated from each transaction at his store without losing any resolution . not to mention you could archive easily assuming the hard drives did not cost too much? and as far as the pos goes, the AVE company sells a generic text inserter with search capabilites for about $500 a station that works with aski text off of the parr. printer port so maybe that would help in the selection of my dvr ?

am looking to install a dvr in a cctv enviroment [retail video store] i need one camera at the front counter to record in high resolution with audio and text insertion and somewhere between 5 to 10 fps. the other 3 channels can be recorded at normal resolution at 3- fps with no text or audio. All the cameras to be set on motion dection recording [approx 50% of stores hours open or recording motion 6 hours a day]. i hope to be able to record 60 days on the dvr.

4 cameras is all i need for now but it would be nice to have the ability to expand to more in the future, [8 channel dvr].

the text insertion would be off of a paralel port splitting with a y cable from the printer [ aski text, okidata 320printer] [AVE has a $500.00 unit that is compatable with paralel port]

i need to be able to remote view the recording and live cctv.

i have dsl w/384 kb upload speed at the actual site [entry level dsl speed]

i have broadband at the remote site we wish to view the store from.

my research sofar indicates i may need a terabite for 60 days?

My cameras will be panasonic super dyn III's.

Any ideas??
